Awarded to Students Oppoxtuniiy to Tiy for Scholarships Offered by State University to Ilifb Schools. From Tuesday's Daily Seniors in Plattsmouth high school will have an opportunity to try for a tuition scholarship at the Univer sity of Nebraska for the next year under a plan announced today by Chancellor E. A. Burnett of the Uni versity. A total of 130 scholarships, good for cne year and with an estimated value of $70 each, will be given to winners in an academic contest that will be held in the various schools on May 5, 6. and 7. This plan repre sents an extension of the academic pentathlon system of prizes that ha3 been in effect for several years. All of the 470 tully accredited high schocl3 in Nebraska will be di vided into three groups, it was ex plained, so that each group contains about one third of the entire Ne braska class cf 1932. One group will probably contain all schools having not more than 20 graduates, an other containing schools having from 1 to 4 4 graduates, and the third group will have all schools with 45 or more graduates. Each group will be awarded 50 University scholar ships. Academic tests in five subjects, in cluding English and mathematics. will be given to at least two seniors in each school, the tests to be ad ministered by local school officials. who will also select the students on a basis of scholastic standing. The papers will be judged at the Uni varsity and the awards made to the 5D winners in each group, provided that no school may receive more than one scholarship. Should the person awarded such a scholarship decide not to use it. it will go to the next person on the list within the group of schools. Should the stu detr fail to "make good" at the Uni versity, it is probable that he will be deprived of the scholarship at the end of the first semester. Tho new system of scholarships brings the total number of such tuition scholarships to 250, 100 hav ing previously been offered to upper class students on a basis of scholar ship and financial need.

The contest at Omaha was spon sored by the Omaha Municipal uni versity, E. M. Houseman, director of the extension work, being in charge and the university furnished all judges and arranged the event in a manner that made it a very pleasant occasion fo rthose who par ticipated.
