The new scholarship-activity competition devised by
the retiring Innocents Society gives men's organizations a
chance to adjust their sights and design their activities
with some degree of variety.
In the past few years the ever-increasing program of
intramural sports has taken more and more time, leaving
the goals of scholarship and extra curricular activities
without proper significance on the campus scene. No one
will dispute the value of the intramural sports program,
but there has been a tendency for organizations to give
their all on the sports front to the neglect of scholarship
and the fields of extra-curricular activity.
By putting a premium on supremacy in scholarship
and extra curricular activities, the Innocents group has
provided a needed running mate for the Jack Best trophy.
Instead of devoting full time to the bulging program of
intramural sports, organizations will be able to divide
their efforts and bring more men into prominence through
a three-way activity setup.
The Innocents program is not designed to rival the
intramural sports scheme, but rather to give proper recog
nition to other fields of endeavor at the University. Along
with intramural athletes, scholars and activity workers will
be able to feel that they are doing something to promote
the welfare of their organization as well as their personal
interests.
Undoubtedly some changes will be necessary after the
first year's trial with the point schedule devised by the
Innocents. A test run with the present point program
showed that there were injustices which needed to be
worked out, and as the program is brought into full scale
use, more problems will crop- up. . But after being in use
for several years, the scholarship-activity award will be
evolved into a permanent setup capable of being expended
or amended to the satisfaction of all concerned.

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Innocents Tell
Point Schedule;
Spring Awards
The complete schedule of points
under the hew scholarship-activity
program was announced to
day by Stanley Johnson, president
of retiring Innocents.
In order that the program may
be put into effect this spring,
each organized house on the cam
pus has been asked to compile a
list of scholarships, individual ac
tivities and group activities as out
lined in the tabulation on page
one and submit them to Stan
Johnson by 5 p. m., Monday,
May 10.
The awards which are to be pre
sented this spring will be based
on activities of the past year. Thus
those elected to offices this spring
should not be included in the list.
Where individuals are concerned,
the name, month elected, and time
in office must be recorded. Only
those actively participating will
be counted, and officers will not
receive membership points plus
points for the position they hold.
Under scholarships, the Inno
cents themselves will total the
house ranking and will use last
year's figures. For a consistarit
record therefore, men on the 1947
honor roll should be entered by
each group.
Percentage participation need
not be included in the reports from
the various houses. The total num
ber of activies and pledges must
be submitted which will be used
by the Innocents in computing
participation figures.
Johnson explained that in the
future, awards will probably be
made on Ivy Day and to be con
sistant with those of the sing, it
will be necessary to use the ac
tivities of the previous year.

Confusion, Turmoil Reign
In Temporary B Registering
BY JEAN FENSTER
One of the busiest places on
the city campus the last several
weeks has been Temporary B,
where some 6,000 students have
been run through the mill of reg
istration. Several thousand are
still looking forward to the day
when their number will come up,
and the other several thousand
are the Ag students who are con
cluding registration on Ag cam
pus. We register twice each year,
once a semester. But the wives of
instructors and other personnel
who devote their time to register
ing us are busy five times each
year, several weeks at a time.
They are on hand for fall pre
registration, fall registration for
incoming students, second semes
ter pre-registration, second se
mester registration for new stu
dents, and for summer registra
tion. From morning until night
they tussel with each student's
problems of conflicting classes,
closed sections, and confused 'and
new registrants.
15 Minutes Required
Students have registered in fif
teen minutes, while others who
run into difficulties spend from
one to two hours in Temporary
B. One of the first problems they
are confronted by is their failure
to bring with them the worksheet
or schedule which they must ob
tain in Temporary A, before they

Scabbard and
Returns After
BY LEE BEST
Scabbard and Blade, prominent
military honorary is rising from
five years of inactivity to make a
stand for the due recognition of
Nebraska's large number of mili
tary reserve students.
The national organization, rep
resented by some 40,000 members
on over eighty campuses, has
chosen for membership ten senior
cadet officers in the ROTC plus
seventeen junior, and senior ca
dets tapped this spring, who have
demonstrated outstanding quali
ties of leadership, rank in the up
per third of their military science
class, and who have achieved a
high scholastic standing in the re
mainder of their college work.
Although the society is still rel
atively unknown- to students on
campus now, it has been in the
past a motivating influence in
the reserve officers corps.
The society was founded at the
University of Wisconsin in 1905
by five cadet officers in order to
"prepare ourselves as educated
men to take a more active part
in the military affairs of the
community in which we may re
side, and to spread intelligent in
formation concerning the military
requirements of our country."
Activities of members of the so
ciety include: presentation of the
ROTC display during Engineer's
Week and memberships on the
trophy winning ROTC rifle team.
Miniature saber souvenirs are al
so featured on sale at the annual
Military Ball.
The Nebraska chapter of Scab
bard and Blade, Company C-3, is
headed by Captain William
Brandt. Other officers are Lt.
Owen L. Lovan, Lt. Thomas
Brownlee, Sgt. Oliver K. Mei
singer. Active members are: Vernon J.
Carmichael, Neal D. Kennedy,
Law Examination
Deadline Today
Law aptitude examinations will
be given May 8 at 8 a. m. in
Room 202, Law college. All stu
dents planning to take the exam
must have their applications in
so that the exams may be pre
pared. Applicants for the National Col
lege Entrance Exam board test
must have their applications and
the $10 inclosure in the mail and
postmarked not later than mid
night, May 6. Application blanks
may be obtained at the Law
school.
can complete their registration.
Some students are confused as
to where the registration line be
gins. They are to enter the east
dor and give their card and pre
sent their schedule to the lady in
charge at the east end of the cor
ridor. Their second problem is
visualized as they are handed a
list of the closed sections, which
is rapidly becoming longer. Stu
dents who cannot get into classes
because they are closed will pro
fit little for registering in them,
because chances are very slim
that enough students will drop or
change courses in order to facili
tate everyone. Chemistry labs, en
gineering courses, and bus. org.
courses have limited facilities,
and can handle oly a certain
number" of students. There can
be no more admittance of "just
one more" for this reason.
System Proved Efficient
Dr. Hoover, assistant registrar
and assistant director of admis
sions, commented that the present
system of registration has proved
quite etficient in handling the
number of people that are attend
ing the university which normally
has an enrollment of 6,000 to
7,000 students. Before the war
registrants were required to fill
out from 10 to 15 of the white
cards, which has been cut to 4
this year. It is Dr. Hoover's hope
that they can be made efficient
enough, that with the help of the
registrar's office it will be neces
sary for students to fill out only
two, thus helping to cut down
registration red tape.
. Full student cooperation in reg
istering when their number is up,
and in recognizing closed classes
will facilitate the system and give
better satisfaction to both instruc
tors and students.
