Rotary Leader Views Native
Australia at Con vo Thursday
VnrriicVi-snpakine DeoDles of the
world today must get together in
the interests of a "free outlook
on life, according to Angus Mitch
ell, of Mebourne, Australia, pres
ident of Rotary International.
Mitchell spoke at a special all
student convocation Thursday
morning.
Mitchell explained that the rea
son was that "not many of us
take the time to find out about
our English-speaking, democratic
living neighbors around the
globe." To help us to under
stand the Australians better,
Mitchell gave his listeners a. bird's
eye view of his native land.
Australia is Same Size as U. S.
"Australia is about the same
size as the United States but has
a population of only seven and
K.nt,aif million neonle. which is
about the size of New York."
The inhabitants are about 95
percent British stock, according to
Mitchell, and speak the English
language, although there is some
difference in pronunciation. Here
we say "clurk" for clerk and there
they say "dark." We also say el
evator and they say "lift."
"Since Australia is in a different
latitude, the Australians go north
for the winter while we go south.
But Australia has a temperate cli
mate the year around and there is
no snow except in the mountains."
"Rabbits are a major problem
for the Australian people and
must be controlled much the same
as we control bindweed in this
country. They do supply fur for
ovnnrt and meat for natives, but
they could become a major men
ace." The principal industry is wool
growing, Mitchell stated, and
Australia has 125 million sheep.
Next in importance is the cattle
raising industry, which is done
on large ranches, one of which
covers an area of 11,000 square
miles. 1

Col. Howard John, university
R.O.T.C. commandant, said Fri

four weeks. The old quota was
125 cadets. The increase applies
to five branches in the ground
forces infantry, artillery, engi
neers, ordnance and corps of

Fall Enrollment
Expected to Top
All-time Record
Enrollment at the university
continued on an unexpected
climb toward a new record
Thursday as the scheduled three
day registration period was ex
tended through the end of the
week-
Dr. George W. Rosenlof, ad
missions director, said that when
the registration period finally
end, enrollment will stand at
approximately 10,250 students.
The previous record of 10.151
was set in the fall semester ci
1947.
Students who were registered
by Thursday attended classes on
that day despite the incomplete
registration.
Breaking down the record en
rollment f)r Rosenlof stated that
5,000 students are World War 11
veterans, 400 of which are
freshmen, and 600 are transfer
students from other schools.
The admissions director re
leased enrollment figures which
read: 2,050 freshmen; 2,800 soph
omore; 2,100 juniors; 1,700 sen
iors; 1,600 graduate students and
members of professional colleges.
Good economic conditions in
Nebraska and the fact that veter
an enrollment did not drop ac
cording to the national trend
were the reasons given las the
increase in enrollment.
