Let's begia with the subject of
school supplies. The essentials in
this field include spiral notebooks,
blue books, textbooks and other
expendable supplies. It isn't nec
essary to spend a large sum on
elaborate notebooks. Many stu
dents buy 25-cent spiral note
books, one for each class. They
usually . last from 12 weeks to
one semester.
Blue books are simply examina
tion books. Called blue books
because of their blue covers, the
small paper-covered books con
tain about 12 pages of white,
lined paper. All major examina
tions are supposed to be written
in them, and almost an professors
reqiiire them for exams. They
sell at three for five cents at any
campus bookstore or drugstore.
Textbooks, of coarse are Cbe
aaost costly of yor sapvties. They
are sold at three camps book
stores. The rani cost aer se
mester varies from fit for some
stadevtr to as Mr as 154 per
semerter for stadeafs in technical
colleges. Book dealers will boy
bock y7ir books at the end of
the year.
Next comes the subject of
your grades and grade points. The
University system of grading; is
based on grade points of from 1
(flunking) to 9 (highest passing
grade). A two is the lowest pass
ing grade. A chart ofJtise numeri
cal eqisivaSer.ts is s&own in a
separate item on this page. At
the end of every six weeks dur
ing the semester exams are given
in each course and grade reports
are given.
These, of course, are followed
by the semester exams, and grade
reports. Most six weeks exams
Last an hour, and semester exams
are three hoars in length for
courses involving three credit
hours, and one or two hour
exams for two-credit hour

A Greeting . .
Members of the Class of I9S4
Greetings:
As I was oa ny way to my of
fice by bees a few days since, I
happened to be sitting fa frost of
two yoaag womea who had lost
gradaated from high school. 'Like
most yoang womea they were full
of vivacity. They were diseassrag
among other things the fact that
their senior English teacher had
suggested as a final essay they
write oa the subject "HTuxt I will
be Doiag Five Tears from Now."
I was most impressed with the
serioasacss with which the sub
ject had beea approached.
These yoaag womea were ia
dead earnest and were concerned
a boat the serioas elemetrts of life
as well as of the world aboat
them.
Have yoa members of the class
of 1954 made aa inventory of yoar
desires aad goals? Do yoa know
where yoa are going, or are yoa
last going to be vasfaed aroaad?
These are oacstioas I propose for
yoar eoasiderattoa.
Sincerely,

language, so many hours of a
science, so many hours of English,
physical education or a naval sci
ence and mathematics or philoso
phy. These are definite require
ment toward graduation.
Farther ioformatfea and advice
on grades, courses and supplies
will be given to you when you
register this faB. However, this
summary should give you a rough
idea of what to expect when you
enter Nebraska.
Registration to Include
An Eight-Step Procedure
Follow directions carefully.
Heed this advice when you go
through registration procedures
at the University this falL
Perhaps you have heard of
the many lines and confusion
that await you during registra
tion. If so, you have been mis
informed. If you conform to regulations
and follow the directions given 'to
you, all the endless hours of
lines and confusion are avoided.
In order to give you an idea
of what procedure to follow, the
registrar s office has set up tne
following steps:
1. Write to the Office of Ad
missions, University of Nebraska,
for application for admission
blanks. These, both Form A and
Form B will be sent to you im
mediately. You will fill out
Form A in ink and return it to
the Office of Admissions. Ask
your high school principal to fill
out Form B and see that this
is sent promptly to the Office
of Admissions. DON T PUT
THIS OFF UNTIL, A WEEK OR
SO BEFORE SCHOOL. BEGINS.
If you do, you will run into one
obstacle after another.
2. The Director of Admissions
will check over your Form A
and Form B to make sure you
are eligible for admission. If
you graduated from an accredited
high school and earned reason
ably good grades, you will al
most certainly receive a little
yellow card with your name
written on it which tells you
have been accepted. Bring this
card with you to the University.
IT IS IMPORTANT. In the
same letter you will also receive
notice of the date when to re
port and where.
3. Oa Sept. 6 and 7 you will
be given a thorough health ex
amination by one or more of the
qualified physicians on the staff
of the Student Health division.
The Director of Student Health
will notify you on what day and
at what hour to report Im
mediately following the health
examination, you will be given
speech and bearing tests by the
Speech and Hearing clinics.
These cbeck-wps are extremely
important to yoa and your Uni
versity.
4. Sept. 7 asd 8 you win take
a series of guidance examina
tions in the Coliseum. These are
NOT entrance examinations.
Their purpose is to help advisers
know how best to help you.
Any student who wishes to
do so may take these examina
tions during the .summer. See
or call Dr. Arthur A. Hitchcock,
director of the Junidr Division,
in Temporary Building A, Uni
versity of Nebraska, for an ap
pointment. All freshmen who
have not taken the guidance
examinations will be required to
do so on the days mentioned
above. If you by-pass the ex
aminations, you will not be able
to register without a great deal
of trouble.
5. Sept. 11, 12 and 13 have
been set aside for registration.
You will be given a definite time
appointment when you are to
meet your advisor in the Coli
seum. While you are waiting,
you are free to do anything you
like. May we urge you to use
the time by becoming acquainted
with the campus. You are wel
come to visit the classroom build
ings,"' the museum and art gal
leries in Morrill halL and the
Student Union. The Student
Union will become our club
bouse during the next four
years, so while you are waiting
to meet your adviser will be a
good time to become acquainted
with it.
C Be fa the Coliseum a little
before the time you are to meet
your adviser. If you fail to ap
pear on time, you will lose your
turn and it will be necessary
for you to make another ap
pointment with him.
7. Yoa need have no fears
about signing up for wrong
courses. You will find your ad
vised a friendly person who sin
cerely wants to help you choose
the best possible series of
courses. He will be glad to give
you all the time you need.
8. The remaining steps which
have to do with the final me
chanics of enrolling will be ex
plained to you immediately after
you leave your adviser. A
thoroughly competent staff has
been chosen to help you through
these last steps of drawing class
cards and filling out two or three
forms. Under the guidance of
these workers you can be sure
that your registration will be
completed accurately.
