University Officials Experience
Difficulties in Registering
Students Wednesday.
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

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

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.

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."

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.
The ld home eampu ru' 'a-c
