Foreign Students
Now Register IHlere
... For Graduate Work
Altho registration for the UN
graduate college will not be com
pleted 4'iitil Saturday, already
several graduate students from
foreign countries have enrolled for
the coming semester.
Approximately a half dozen
Amei iean-Japanese have trans
ferred their graduate work to this
university. Registration will con
tinue until Saturday noon; college
offiicals declined to comment un
til the registering is completed.

Old Linden Tree Guards Plaque
Dedicated To Poet-Thinker Schiller
BY BILL PALMER.
In the north of the old library grows a
Linden tree which has perhaps as colorful a
background as any landmark on the campus.
Around the tree is an iron fence with a
plaque on which is inscribed in German: "To
the Great Poet and Thinker Friedrick Johann
Schiller, Dedicated on May 9, 1003. Tlanted by
Prof. Lawrence Fossler, Head of the depart
ment of Germanic Languages."
Several members of the faculty state that
the original plaque was stolen by a student
during the first World war when feeling ran
high against all that was Germanic and that
the present plaque was put up several years
after the war by Dr. Fred Morrow Fling, for
mer professor of European history who died
in 19:14. Fling, a long time friend of Fossler 's,
made the plaque in commemoration of Foss
ler s work at the university as well as that, of
Schiller, it is said.
Several vears ago, an alumnus of the school
said that he knew where the stolen plaque was
and thought he could obtain it. However, the
dean of the college in which the alleged thief
was a student asserts that the plaque by the
tree is the original; so the alumnus was never
contacted concerning the supposedly stolen,
one.
Without doubt the Linden tree within the
fence is not the one originally planted. Brought
from the famous Unler Den Linden Avenue in
Berlin the first planting died as it was not
adaptable to the Nebraska climate and was re
placed by a native Linden tree.
Schiller, whom Fossler admired and quoted
extensively in his classes, was a German poet,
dramatist and philosopher who lived from
1759 until ISO."), lie neither wrote nor spoke on
international politics or Germanic, expansion.
Anti-German fcelinu was so high among stu

Fuel Shortage
Will Not Affect
UN Students
Fuel shortages due to the war
will not affect the comfort of stu
dents in UN buildings this winter,
reports T-. F. Seaton, operating1
superintendant of the university.
Coal shipments since April have
been continually filling up all
available storage bins. If the coal
contracts continue to be filled, UN
lovers of warm classrooms have
nothing to worry about this year
anyway.
More fuel was purchased this
year because of the new buildings.
Heating for tfr new library, field
house, Foods and Nutrition build
ing, and the numerous other cam
pus edifices will begin as soon as
cold weather sets in.
At present university officials
plan to keep the temperature of
buildings the sp.h as past years.
However if 'Jue federal government
puts temperature regulations in ef
fect, university students, profs,
and officials may have to wear
coats in classes this winter.
