UN Alumni List
Totals 55,000
With New Class
With the graduation of the Au
gust class the number of Nebras
ka alumni has now reached 55,000,
it was announced yesterday by the
university alumni association.
This means that since the found
ing of the university 73 years ago
when Nebraska consisted of one
building, University hall, an av
erage of 730 students have been
graduated each year. And, in that
time Nebraska has grown to be
one of the leading state univer
sities in the United States.
ROTC Heads
Set 'Practical
Course' Goal
In view of the fact that all
cadets in the present ROTC unit
are nothing less than members of
the regular army on inactive duty,
the military officials have lined
up a thoroughly practical and
compact program of training for
this year to comply with that of
the nation.
Special emphasis is to be given
to a more concise and more strict
observance of military customs,
courtesies and discipline of the
unit on or about the campus it was
announced at a meeting of depart
ment officials last night.
Because of the fact that some
ROTC graduates have been re
ported deficient, at the time of re
porting for duty to service schools
and army units, in such basic
military subjects as military cour
tesy, military customs, and in a
basic appreciation of military re
lations existing between officers
and men, the present cadet corps
will take on the appearance of a
service school more tha ever be
fore.

Re-registration of May
Upperolassmen Indicates
Drop of 30 Percent
Students entering the junior
division far exceed the number in
that division last year according
to incomplete figures compiled by
Dr. A. R. Congdon, head of the
assignment committee, during the
last hour of registration yester
day. Military science, mathematics
and physics show a definite in
crease over last year as does the
college of engineering.
Of the many students who reg--istered
last May, only about 70
percent have paid this semester's
fees, which means that there will
be a 30 percent decrease in the
number of upperclassmen under
last spring's total.
On the whole there are some
what fewer registrants in the uni
versity. There is definitely a
lower registration in the graduate
school.
Those who have failed to com
plete registration by 5 o'clock
Wednesday may do so at the west
end of Memorial hall without late
fee from 9 to 12 this morning.
Any registering later than this
will be assessed a late fee.

Enlistment Advisory Board of Five Offiecrs
Will Meet on UN Cammis in Two Weeks
To advise University of Nebras
ka men students upon reserve en
listment possibilities for the army,
navy, air corps, coast guard and
marine branches, a joint pro
curement board of five commis
sioned officers will be on the
campus Oct. 8-12.
This board, one of five operat
ing among the 200 colleges and
universities in the Seventh Service
command, -is composed of one rep
resentative for each branch.
These representatives acquaint
students with the functions and
programs of the various types of
our armed forces, qualifications
fdr enlistment and training and
prospective duties in service. The
presentation of this material is
done jointly and in a non-competitive
manner between the several
branches participating.
Will Arrive Oct. 8.
According to the schedule re
leased by the civilian components
officer, the group will arrive at
8 a. m. Oct. 8 and be on hand
until Oct. 12. There is a meeting
planned for most colleges at
which time the entire reserve plan
for each branch will be outlined.
After this meeting, private consul
tation with students by the offi
cers in charge for the particular
branch will be held. At such time
questions will be answered and the
. From October 8-12
officer in charge will act solely in,
an advisory capacity.
Dean T. J. Thompson, who is
in charge of the reserves on the
Nebraska campus will organize
the meetings. He stresses the
fact that since this board has all
of the information necessary all
students not liable for the draft
within the next month, wait until
the board arrives before trying to
enlist.
In this way, Thompson points
out, the student will have a wider
field from which to choose.
Primarily for men students,
