Bumper Freshman Class pected to Be Factor in School Activities. Ex- Memorial Hall was back on Ita pi war basis yesterday when It was lair ! swamped by students In the mail desire to register for the fall semester. University omcials were almost help less In contending with the unpteced entered rush of new students, ine congestion was noticed by the offi cials when the majority of new stu dents found It almost impossible to register unassisted. Hundreds of freshmen were stand ing in line more than a block long before the doors were swung open at nine o'clock yesterday morning. Reg istration started wit ha gigantic rusn. It was so large that the school au thorities will be compelled to change some phases of the old system. Officials hope that the registration will be running smoothly this morning and more students can be accommo dated in less time. A number of upperclassmen declare that the conservative estimates made by the university officials will be shattered by the close of the week and an optomistic calculation has been placed as fully nine thousand en rollment. The problem of class rooms is being discussed. Officials are ex pecting to find some difficulty in ac commodating the large classes. It is urged that students delaying tbeir registration should report immediately and receive better recitation hours. A number of student advisors hsre been rendering valuable assistance to lower classmen. Older students are asked to help freshmen when ever possible and their services will help relieve the congestion. The College of Business Adminis tration is experiencing the largest en rollment since the establishment of thia department. It is declared that the commercial field is offering a wide scope to the students and the men especially are taking advantage of tne excellent courses oa the colleges cur riculum. Heavy registration is felt in all colleges of the university. This condition is noticeable in the law col lege. The large number of men register ing reminds one of balmy days of the S. A. T. C. regime of last year. From appearances the men look the same but they are here for a different pur pose. The idea of studying is para mount in the minds of all. Tbey re alize that the world is clamoring for educated men and they are entering the university with the ambition of making good in their line of study. The freshmen class of 1923 will be one of the strongest in the school. In their contest for superiority at the annual Olympics they expect to out clas their rivals, the sophomores. Keen competition in this event will be marked when the two classes take the field. MEDICAL TESTS REQUIRED Students entering Columbia uni versity in the future must pasa uoi only the ordinary physical tests uut must undergo a psychological exam ination to determine whether they are fit to undertake the work re quired in pursuing a regular college course. The medic-i tests arc not to be strenuous at the beginning but it, is announced that hereafter every student will be under health surveil lance during his entire course. Reg ular visits to the university irctiiin laboratories will be required. Tests of health and muscular energy will be made and each student's course wDl Ve adjusted to develope h'fn physically as well as mentally. It is announced that the purpose is not to bring every man to the Rooseveit . standard but to perfect him in his own standard." Such muscular ex ercise will be specified as will con duce to the best physical develop ment. The student will also be askrd to engage more or less regularly in at least two out door sports, yhen he graduate he is expected not only to hfive a competent and well devel oped bot'.y but to have enough inter est in out door sports to keep him going in the proper direction alter he passes out of the control of the university health censors.

NEBRASKA TO HAVE RHODES SCHOLARS Universities of State Will Pick Two Men This Fall for Oxford. Courses Will Be for Three Years Changes are Made in Selection. Appointment to Rhodes scholar ships In the United States, which was postponed for the duration of the war, will be resumed In Octo ber. Chancellor Avery of the state university has been asked by Prof. Frank Aydelotte, American secretary to the Rhode' trustee of the Massa chusetts Institute of technology, to be chairman and secretary of the Rhodes scholarship committee of se lection for Nebraska and has consent ed. In this capacity he will answer Inquiries of candidates, receive their formal application and investigate their references in preparation for the meeting of the committee. Nebraska, as tome other states. will be allowed to appoint two scholars this year, to make good the lack of opportunity to name one for 1818 owing to the war. Prospective applicants for this honor will be In terested in the general regulations governing its bestowal. "The Rhodes will provide for two scholars con stantly at Oxford from each state in the union. Each scholar stays three years and receives a stipend of three hundred pounds a year, out of which he pays his tuition, fees and expenses exactly as any other stu dent. There are no restrictions' as to the subjects which he should study. Candidates must be unmar ried, between the ages of nineteen and twenty-five, and must have completed at least their second year in college. Candidates may try for the appoint ment either from the state in which they reside or from that in which they have received the major part of their education. They must be .citizens of the United States with at least five years domicile. Choice by Committee A radical change is being affected in the choosing of men for the Rhodes scholarship. The change is an attempt to make the standard of qualification entirely American. It re sults in doing away altogether with the qualifying examinations hitherto used. The primary nomination of candidates is left to the universities and colleges' of each state. Committees will seek to appoint men to whom res idence at Oxford will be an advantage and who will themselves be a credit to the foundation. F. J. Wylie of Oxford and possibly Prof. Aydelotte may come to Nebras ka to consult with Chancellar Avery. Candidates will be selected in each state by the committee constituted for that purpose. A candidate is first selected by his own college or university. Each institution is free to (Continued on Page Two) k IB. ! I 'Pi 1 ----kh - f ' ' ' I 1 f f f -J '".--f ?

"Dobble" is conceded to be one of the best punters in the All Freshmen Must Caps, Members of Innocents Say The sale of freshmen caps will e gin Friday morning with the arrival of a large consignment of the green toques and skull caps. Every first year man must wear one, according to a declaration made yesterday by a member of the Innocents society. The caps will be placed on sale at the College bookstore and at different places on the university campus. An innovation in freshmen head gear is promised in style, color and shape. The caps will be larger than usual, have a longer visor and have the numerals denoting the class of '23. Not a single underclassman will be allowed to escape this year with out wearing one. A light weight skuII cap will be provided for the early part of the season and a heavier toque, warm and comfortable, will grace the GIRLS EARNING 0Y!l WAY III LARGE NUMBERS THIS YEAR According to faculty women uu are in, charge .ot-the employment for university girls, more girls are pajing part or all of their own expenses by doing work while attending college than ever before. The old illusion was that only a man could earn his way to higher learning thru a univer sity. This formerly accepted fact has en tirely given way to the theory that a girl is as capable, if not more so, than a man to earn her way thru col lege, faculty women believe. The number of partially self-supporting girls has increased steadily year by year, which proves this point. One of the surest ways for the co-ed to help pay her own way is to do housework for board and room, and many girls have undertaken this worn. Lincoln women who have been kind enough to help deserving university girls in this way have received hem into their homes as one of the family, and made work almost a part ot me ((Continued on Page Three) The New Social Science Hall e I 7T : ' Ml DOBSON. valley. The 1919 captain, was on the varsity In '16 and '17. He will lead a powerful team thru a strenuous sea son. Don Green skulls of first year students during tho colder months. Because of a delay In securing Just the kind of caps wanted, the shipment hao been late in reaching Lincoln but is lionised for early Friday morning. The sale will be continued until all freshmen are supplied. The freshmen cap will be the sign of genuine class spirit this year, stu dents in close touch with school and class activities say. It will be used to form a bond between all first year men and those who do not wear them will be starting off on the wrong foot in the trend of class affairs. Anticipating that freshmen will be quick to grasp the spirit of the green cap, students in charge of sales will handle them in large numbers and have supplies readily available STUDENTS TO GET ONE HOUR CREDIT FOR CHORUS WORK The university chorus will be con tinued this year under the direction of Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond. One hour's credit will be given for this work and the students will meet at five o'clock Monday and Wednesday evenings in art hall of the library building. New students at the uni versity are especially asked to take ihis chorus work, as it is Interesn-ig as well as instructive. Mrs. Raymond, supervisor of music at the University, announces that the musical work will be varied this year and many unusual features will be emphasized. Those who will take chorus worn under Mrs. Raymond will obtain an excellent training in vocal instruc tion. There is no reason why the 1919-20 chorus should not overshadow all former years. A number of students will be se lected from the chorus during the school year to make a trip thruout the state. The university chorus will appear on several programs during the semester, and at the end of the year a big production will be given as in the past. ri'S ' -nut .' : r.W CHANGES MADE IN JOURNALISM WORK Regents Plan to Reorganize News paper Work in the University. Special Stress On Country News paper New Instructor Will Be Named. A committee to be named by the faculty of the arts college of the state university, has been autlwutti by the board of regents, It was an nounced last week to direct the prep aration of courses suited to a reor ganized Journalism department wnicn will lay special stress upon the man agement of the country and :mall town newspaper. The person who will have charge of the new Journalism work has not vet been named. He will be ap pointed at a later meeting, the re gents announced Friday. Prof. M. M. Fogg, head of the Journalism In the university returned from France two weeks ago where he has been director of the college of Journalism In the American E. F. university. He will teach his former courses in newspaper editing and news writing. The need of a course in the man agement of the country and small town newspaper has long been rec ognized by the board of regents, they say. The new course to be out lined will Include courses In history, political science, languages, business administration, accounting, econo mics and English. The action of the board of regents conies as the result of conferences between Chancellor Avery, Dean P. M. Buck of the college of arts anJ sciences and members of the Ne ago. The association at that time appointed a committee which will confer with the faculty committee to aid in selecting a curriculum for the Journalism work. The action of the association was invited by the chan cellor and Dean Buck. EX-STUDENTS ARE COMING BACK IN GREAT NUMBERS This fall has marked the return to the university, in probably greater numbers than ever before, of st'idents who have attended for a time and then dropped out for a year or more. A reason, for this return of old stu dents is the fact that men who have been in the service for a year or longer have again returned to this country and are ready to pursue their education. Many of these men did not even begin their proposed univer sity work while others had already started iheir school work and were called to various camps. Another reason is the general after-war pros perity 'hat is being experienced in the state with good crops, high prices and money comparatively "loose." i Fred W. Luchring of Princeton to Ec General Director Next Year. Nebraska Has Resigned From Missouri Valley Con Terence. The athletic ami plivulcal e.l departments hae been entirely re organized since laht year. Frea Y. Luehting. who has been director of the department of hygiene and physi cal education ana director of Intra cural athletics and basketball coach at Princeton since 1911, was chosen during the summer by the Board of Regents as director of the athletic and physical education departments at Nebraska. He will not take up his duties until September 1, 1920. Uni versity provost. Dr. J. T. Lees, will be acting director until that time. The new head coach, Henry -F. (Indian) Schulte from Mizzou. was chosen to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of coach E. J. "Doc" Stew art. Paul Schissler was appointed as sistant football coach and the Board of Regents approved the recommenda tion of Provost Lees that he be made chief basketball mentor. Boy Camer on and John Riddell, ex-varsity stars. will also assist the football coaching staff. Coach Schulte has a brilliant record in Valley circles. His greatest suc cess was as track coach at Missouri. In every season but one of the seven or eight the former Michigan univer sity football guard has coached Tiger teams his crack athletes were Mis souri Valley champions, winning first honors hands down- Schulte devel oped Bob Simpson, the greatest hurd ler in history and holder of world's records in both high and low races. In football, Schulte was hampeeo at Missouri by lack of high grade material. Performers of the rare ability of Chamberlain, Rutherford. Shonka, West over. Bender, Frank, and other Husker stars were not enrolled at Columbia. Statistics show that Tiger teams have been about ten pounds lighter per man than Husker teams during the last decade. De spite this handicap, it is a matter of record that the Nebraska Cornhus.. ers, after enjoying several seasons of invincibility in Valley football circies, were trounced by Kansas in 1916 while two weeks later Schulte took an aggregation of lightweight Tigers to Lawrence and licked the Jayhawkera on the K. U. gridiron. Close followers of football in the valley are confident that Schulte has the ability to produce winners at Ne braska. They look to him to prove it this coming season, even tho the Com husker .schedule is the siffest proposi tion in the entire middlewest. Nebraska Out of Conference. Another athletic shakeup durine the past season was the withdrawal of Nebraska from the Missouri Valley conference. Tne Oomhuskor authori ties wished to play a gfrue at Omaha. This could not be done under the con ference rules which prohibited games from being played in a non-conference town. When the conference decided that Nebraska should not be allowed to play a game in Omaha, the Husker representatives decided they would withdraw from the conference.
