Means, new head of student physical welfare, comes to Nebraska from Beloit College, Beloit, Wisconsin, where he served as athletic director for nine years. He has worked both as a coach and director of athletic programs in the past and his experience as sures the campus of a well organ ized intramural program.

Survey Reports Show Postwar Dentist Shortage Dr. Bert L. Hooper, dean Gf the College of Dentistry at the uni versity of Nebraska, received re ports this week on the surveys of a post-war shortage of dentists, made by the American Council on Education and the Office of Sci entific Personnel of the National Research Council. Reports showed that the short age of dentists in the United States is alarming. A decrease of 25 percent of dental graduates during a 30 year period immedi ately following World War I has made today's supply of dentists inadequate in number and pre dominantly in the older age groups. Shortages. Due to shortages during the last four years a large part of the civilian population has not re ceived the proper care and treat ment. Thus facilities and person nel must be provided in the post war period to care for the com plications resulting from post poned treatment. The report warned that unless a sufficient number of students enter predental classes in the next year or so, there will be an insufficient number of dentists to NOTICE In accordance with N Club policies, high school letter sweaters are not worn unless the letter has been removed. DEAN KRATZ. President N Club. Coach C. Miller Due for Release From Army Soon Word has been received by the athletic department that Capt. Charley Miller, former gymnastic coach, is due for discharge from the army soon, and will return to Nebraska to resume his duties. When the likable tutor returns, he will be added to the intra mural staff to aid in the student athletic program, as well as re viving the varsity gymnastic team, which flourished before the war cut down sports activity on the campus. 1 Freshman Health Status Suffers Drastic Change When the average freshman first comes down to "Dear Old Nebraska U" he is feeling in the very pink of health. But un fortunately, the medics connected with this institution of learning could not possibly have it so, and the poor youngster is forced, de spite previous obligations, to undergo the atrocities of a physi cal exam, the performed action of which process can best be de scribed as having a faintly cling ing resemblance to herding cattle. For three or more long days our little freshie stands until his feet are sore, sits until his ah he's tired of sitting, waits, always waits, only to find himself at last in the seemingly merciless clutches of lugubrious-appearing persons, smiling as they poise above his trembling self with long, evil needles, ready to stab the life out of him. Then he is torn limb from limb by unknown hands, and at length tossed aside to weave his weary way across traffic-laden streets to the dungeon where his hearing and voice are tested. Quotes Shakespeare. Smakespeare said that mercy "droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven." By this time our en terprising young student, fresh from the simple world of high school, wonders if it will ever stop pouring. And today, as one gazes about the campus and sees the freshmen, wandering dimly around, staring blankly into space, he supposes that their dumbfounded expres sions are caused by homesickness and the novelty of a university; but no, it is merely fatigue, utter exhaustion, remorse, and other symptoms brought about by the distressing havoc of a physical exam. replace those who were lost through death and retirement. Immediate Need. Realizing the immediate need for beginning predental students the first year dental students, the Army, Navy, Selective Service System, War Manpower Commis sion, in cooperation with the dental professions, are placing the facts of the nation's present needs and the attendant opportunities before men who have served in the armed forces. The adequacy of the future supply of dentists depends almost entirely on the fu ture plans made by returning vet erans who have an interest in dentistry and the necessary qualifications.

TOMMY LONG'S BAND 9 to 12 Midnite Sat., Sept. 22 44c per person Union' Ballroom i i Student Went. CtoruS FwSSwi H (U KEEP U Vt7 in LL 11 U IL-JJ By George Miller Dispensing with the usual in troductions so common to a newly formed column, this reporter will ignore personal references and merely state that he considers himself fortunate in that athletic doings on the campus have been rejuvenated. No longer must the sports ed rack his brains for a bit of material to put underneath the sports column flag. Times have changed. This year varsity football is in full swing with a large squad of hopefuls in suit, the intramural program will be extensive and the coaching staffs will be complete. Nebraska is in the process of moving once again towards its rightful spot in the brilliance of the sun of ath letic fame. Potsy Gets Ready At the present time Coach "Potsy" Clark is readying his charges for their opening tilt with the Oklahoma Sooners, a game which will open the Big Six con ference race and also indicate to Nebraska followers how the com bination of teen-agers, army vet erans and navy trainees will func tion. Other conference schools will not be idle this weekend, for Missouri journeys to Minnesota to test the Bierman-coached Gophers who are expected to bring Big Ten laurels back to the Northland. In cidentally, Clark will be on hand in Minneapolis for the game, scouting both teams, since both are Husker foes this season, Min nesota coming to Lincoln on Oc tober 6 for Nebraska's second home game. Iowa State also meets a Big Ten team, facing Northwestern in a game which will give Big Six rivals a line on the potentially strong line possessed by the Cy clones. Kansas will meet Texas Christian in a night game Satur day at Kansas City, with Leroy Robison, two-letter 180-pound fullback spearheading the attack. National Spotlight Other games of national inter est are the USC-UCLA game on the West Coast, which might pos sibly indicate the Pacific Coast ruler, the Michigan-Indianan tilt at Ann Arbor which will clarify the muddled Big Ten picture, and the Illinois-Pitt encounter, an en counter to test the potency of Clark Shaughnessy's Smoky . City T, which includes Bill Moomey, former York, Nebraska star. Completely befuddled by the reams of publicity flowing from all sides, we pick Minnesota, Northwestern and TCU to dampen the Big Six opening day, while USC, Michigan and Illinois should register victories in other Satur day games. Masquers Name Board Members At First Meeting Barbara Jo Jenkins was elected treasurer and Art "Beindorff was elected to the board of governors of the Nebraska Masquers at their first fall meeting held Wednesday night in the Temple.
