Wednesday, December 17, 1947 PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Them Days Is . . Having just breezed through the registration lines in the re markable time of less than 15 minutes, it seems only fitting that we reprint an editorial on the same subject which appeared in the Daily Nebraskan two years ago, At the time the immortal editor Les Glotfelty was moved to disgust to author same, the enrollment within these cherished walls had sky-rocketed 33 percent over the previous semester, to reach an unheaid of mark of 3,500 students. However, the woes and rigors of registration had apparently more than paralleled the rise. Consequently with this printed material as ample proof of what has gone before we doff our head-piece to Dr. Rosenlof, Dr. Hoover, Mrs. Bedell ind the staff of the registrars' office for a job well done. Whether Les' editorial efforts supplied the motivation for the change (and brother when she so desired she could certainly moti vate!) we know not, but at any rate "thanks" for the registration "blue plate" special. Read below and be thankful too that them-other-days-is-gone-furever ! ! ! Ztsdtahip. Gone Forever . . The registration situation is inexecusable. Many students have stood in line for three hours in the Temple building, waiting to go through the assignment committee to complete their registration, only to have the door shut in their faces upon progressing that far. Other students have missed classes to fight their way through the lines, only to find that something was neglected and they had to go back to their advisers. The disregard for organization and efficiency makes us wonder if the administration is capable'of taking care of the increased en rollment which they evidently hadn't anticipated. The system of setting up the assignment committee in the YM office at Temple was all right for the war years in which the number of students registering was cut in half. However, now there are some 4,000 students trying to register for next semester and by the widest stretch of imagination they just don't fit into that one room. In the first place they need people there to check the stu dents' papers before they go thru the line to see if they are ready for the assignment committee. Then they need a place large enough to hold all the students. Finally they need more officials working in order that more than one line can be moving at a time. In the meantime, the best way to encourage skipping classes and late regis tration is to leave conditions just as they are! The Daily Nebraskan, Jan. 16, 1946. What A Specialty ...

Inactive? Ineffective? How many students and faculty members have brushed aside the Student Council with these three adjectives? But this year's Student Council has dispelled any doubts as to its character. The Council has taken the path f action. We must com mend its courageous stand on arousing interest in the Big Six universities and the whole nation as to the question of discrimina tion on the athletic field. We must commend Dale Ball's suggestion for a Spring Pageant as following the ideal of the Stu dent Council; that is, the better ment of our university. This plan which invites the people of this state to view the accomplishments of every department in our school, and the traditional activities which occur then, will go a long way in promoting the University of Nebraska. Surely the Student Council is no longer impotent, inactive, or ineffective. JACK SOLOMON HARVEY DAVIS Cornhusker. Women's Organized Houses: Alpha XI Delta. Pi Beta phi. Sigma Delta Tau.
