The wcond day of the fall roi;lt ra
tion closed yesterday at five oYloeK
with u pronounced climax. Largo
numbers expecting to visit tho assign
ment commit toe wore turned tway
when workers in a fatigued condition
declared a halt. Tho university au
thorities gre of the opinion that the
registration was heavier than on
Wednesday. The students were stmt
through various departments tin a
more systematic manner than tho day
previous. A bumper enroll men; una

1 M. Luck, dean of the Arts and
Science College, declared yosteraay
that the college will experience romo
iryins situations in finding sufficient
equipment to accommodate the la.ge
enrollment. Scarcity of teachers in
the university wi'l Lc f. serious prob
lem to contend vith. Officials state
that it is almost impossible to fill tne
gap. It has been decided to close all
the Spanish classes temporarily. This
action is the result of the lack of
teachers.
Large numbers are registering for
languages this year. Many students
are enrolling in the German classes
and also lor the Ancient languages.
Fluctuations are noticeable In mauy
classes. Scores are changing colleges
this semester. Many have reacied
the point where they realize that they
must pursue courses that will be of
the most value to them.
Dean Buck states that the system of
registering which has been used for
the last twelve years can not be prac
ticallv used to accommodate the ever
increasing enrollment. A new Idea is
being devised which will eliminate the
monotonous grind experienced this
week.

NEW HOME OF UNIVERSITY TEACHERS' COLLEGE
The completion of the new teachers' college building at the University of Nebraska provides a new homo
for the constantly growing department of education. The building, with its doors at Fourteenth and S streets,
is modeled after the finest and most modern structures of its kind. Equtpment to fit the needs of a training
school for teachers has been provided.. The recent picture shows the new building in its unfinished state.
When fully completed it will make a splendid addition to the group of new buildings on the university campus.

Announcement Made of Plans to
Build Regular System
of Work.
The college of business administra
tion at the university is planning ko
build a regular system of evening
classes. This sort of work was begun
last year" when Professor T. T." Bul
lock gave an evening course on busi
ness law and Professor Minnie T.
England, one on business for women.
The schedule this fall is as follows:
Principles of economics, Theodore T.
Bullock, 7:30-9:10, Thursday; Princi
ples of accounting, Dana F. Cole. 7:30
8:10, Monday; Marketing, P. W. Ivey,
7:30-9:10, Tuesday.
These courses are primarily for tne
training of business executives from
the managerial Doint of view. The
first will give a broad view of the
economic field. The course in ac
counting will lead to higher account
ing, with c?? accounting and auditing
in view. It is designed for students
who wish to enter the accounting
field, and also to provide the business
executive with the proper knowledge
for the analysis of his business.. The
course in marketing will discuss the
distribution of goods from the manu
facturer to the consumers. The sell
ing problems of the farmer and the
jobber, wholesaler and retailer, will
be handled.
Attention will be given to the dis
tribution of farm products as they go
thru the hands of the wholesale and
retail dealer. This will be followed
by a course in the second semester on
advertising.
These night courses are not only
beneficial in that they make it possi
ble for those who work during the
day to come in contact with textbooks
on subjects which are closely allied
with their business, but it grants mat
they too may learn what younger men
Chancellor Avery Invited to
Attend Opening of University
In Diminutive Balkan State
Head of Nebraska Institution De
i clines Because of Duties
at Home. .

of Airplane
How small the world is! Just
around the corner in Riga, Livonia, a
diminutive state in the Balkans, a new
university has honored Chancellor
Samuel Avery by requesting his pres
ence at the inauguration ceremony.
Livonia is just a mere spot on the
map, and is right in the heart of the
country which has been the center of
strife for the past few years. That
s"uch a small state should rise to such
advancement in the fact of all difficul
ties, is considered remarkable. It
ties, is considered remarkable. The
university of Livonia is necessarily a
small school, but it offers a wonderful
chance for development.
The chancellor has replied that he
will be unable to accept the invitation
to be present at the inauguration be
cause of pressing duties at his home
university and because of the distance
between Nebraska and Livonia. Those
two things are enough to keep Chan
cellor Avery in Lincoln unless he
might be fortunate to charter an air
plane for the trip across the world.
Dr. Kasparson cabled the chancellor
as follows:
Head of University of Nebraska,
U. S. A.
I beg to inform you of the founda
tion of the University of Livonia in
Riga, The act of inauguration of the
said university will take place on Sep
tember 28, 1919 in Riga and you are
requested honor us with yourpres
ence. t
Minister for Public Instruction,
DR. KASPARSON.
Chancellor Avery, who is extremely
busy in Lincoln this fall and who does
not own his- private airplane, has
Sent the following reply:
Sept. 18, 1919.
Dr. Kasparson,
Minister for Public Instruction,
Riga, Livonia.
Dear Sir: I greatly regret that the
distance and pressure of duties here
will not permit me to accept your
kind invitation to be present at the
inauguration of the University of
Livonia, to take place September
twenty-eighth.
Permit me, however, on behalf of
the University of Nebraska to extend
to the University of Livonia the con
gratulations and best, wishes of this
institution. May I further express the
hope that your country free fom inter
nal dissensions and foreign wars may
become one of the leading supoprters
of all branches of culture and learn
ing.
Yours very sincerely,
SAMUEL AVERY,
Chancellor
and women, are learning from a col
lege education. The registration in
the evening classes was exceptionally
large last semester and much more
enthusiasm is being displayed and
many more are availing themselves of
the opportunity this year.

CHANCELLOR AND MRS.
AVERY GIVE ANNUAL
RECEPTION SATURDAY
Chancellor and Mrs. Avery
will give their annual reception
io all students Saturday eve
ning. September 20th, in Art
Call, on the second floor of the
library. This annual welcome
is for members of the student
ldy and faculty alike.
The chancolor and Mrs. Av
ery, the deans or tho colleges,
mid a large number of profes
sors will be in tho receiving
line to meet all students as
iliey arrive. A cordial invita
tion is open to all students,
freshmen and upperclassmen,
to attend the reception and oe
lome acquainted with the fac
ulty. A largo number of students
every year find the chancellor's
reception to be a gathering in
which they become acquainted
with more of the university
faculty and other students tnan
at any other gathering or social
entertainment. Because of tne
unusually large freshmen reg
istration this year which will
mount into the thousands as it
progresses, the reception will
undoubtedly be one of the larg
est and most successful in the
history of the school.
FRESHMEN ENROLL
IN LARGE NUMBERS
Total of First Year Students for
Thursday was 432, Reg
trar Reports.
Registration Incomplete Until
Fees are Paid Warning
Against Delay.
Registration proceeded busily at
the state university Thursday. A to
tal of 432 freshmen was handled for
the day. Those presented credits to
be evaluated and passed thru alt the
many details of registration which
necessarily requires the assistance of
many university officers. The regis
tration of former students brought
the total record for the day up to 582
which is quite a bit more than two
vears ago. Thus far a total number
nf fi42 freshmen alone have com
pleled regislration.
The executive offices reported
tendency on the part of the students
m nnsinone navments of fees. This
leaves their registration incomplete
ill uim have failed to make lueir
registration complete before fou
n"rW-k Saturday afternoon will be
required to pay an extra $3.00 fee.
An industrious corps of helpers re
ceived the students registration srrps
as soon as they were finished ana ro-
ceeded to enroll names, titles of cours
es and other necessary information
on cards which are sent to instructors
previous to class work on Monday
No professor is allowed to receive m
to his classes anyone who does not
have such a card.
The medical college at Omaha is al
so roistering students at this timme
but no report has as yet been received
from the dean. The school at Curtis
held its registration Monday, and this
too will report to the general registrar
on the down town campus at Lincoln

Get Your Freshman Cap Today
You thousand freshmen who are on the cam
pus for the first time this week, start your uni
versity career right by buying the traditional
green cap today. ..Uphold tradition as it has ex
isted at your chosen school for half a century.
Don't forget this: You will not be laughed
at if you wear one, rather will you be frowned
on if you do not. .It is a tough road to travel
for the freshman that attempts to "buck" tradi
tion at Nebraska.
The green skull cap is a sign of genuine
class spirit; it is the means by which you will
become acquainted with your classmates.
Upperclassmen look with favor on the
"freshie" who wears is cap on the campus; he is
recognized as the man who will be the true Ccrn
husker of the future.
It is patriotic to wear the green cap, rymbolic
of one of Nebraska's most sarred traditions.
The cap is usually worn only until the Olym
pics when the first year class meets the sopho
mores in the annual class scrap. If you fresh
men win, you then then earn the right to discard
the "green." If you loose, then you must still
wear the cap until the snow flies.
So get your cap today and speak to every
man on the campus who wears one.
Coach Schulte Takes Men to Y.
M. C. A. for Indoor Drill
in Tactics.
Dope From Other Camps Predicts
Powerful Teams Touyh
Games Ahead.
The i a Ins gummed up the outuoor
pracli... Wednesday and Thursday
bill ilia not mop it entirely. Wednes
day afternoon the quad worked out
on the Stale Farm field and ThurMay
afternoon the gymnasium of the city
Y. M. ('. A. was tht scene or activity.
Although practice was not broken up
entirely a had crlmn w nut m h
many repititions of which the Corn-
huskers can ill afford in the coming
two weeks before the battle at Iowa
City is staged on October 4.
The weeks schedule as planned by
Coach Schulte called for licht fast
practice for varsity men twice each
day, the object being to get the men
down to weight and in fighting trim
for the strenuous grind of .scrimmage
work.
A small squad worked out in the
Y. M. C. A. Thursday. The coach
drilled the men in various tactics. He
got on the mat himself and proved
the soundness of his advice by dem
onstration. Alter bucking against
him for a lew times the boys began
to understand how it was that Michi
gan tore Nebraska up for thirty-five
points in the last half, back about
1905, when he was on the varsity.
The Huskers and Wolverines battled
0-0 the first half of that memorable
game but the Scarlet anS Cream
yielded to the onslaught of Yost's men
in the second period with above re
sult. The first game of the season, with
Iowa is bound to be a tough battle.
The entire Hawkeye 1918 eleven is
working together this year reinforced
by veterans from overseas and the
camps. They have the advantage of
starting the season with an organized
team.
Gophers Thirst for Husker Blood.
The Minnesota conflict the week
following the Iowa battle needs no
comment. The Gophers are thirsting
for Nebraska blood. The last clash
between the two, in 1913 was a vic
tory for the Cornhuskers.
Every one of the opponents on the
Husker schedule is boasting a power
ful team. Reports from every school
proclaims the fact that old letter men
are back in abundance and ready for
the battle. Oklahoma has the squad
to begin the season with which wal
loped K. U. so unmercifully last year
and furthermore boasts the return of
the 1917 squad almost intact.
Present indications show i hat
Kansas will have one of the strong
est lines in years, but like Nebraska
is still uncertain of the backfield For
the ends. K. U. will have three good
nen . H. R. Laslftt, '20, who rescued
his captaincy in the spring of 191S to
enter the army. A. C. Lonborg, '20
and Theodore Reid, '21, are the others.
Tackle George Nettles, F- B. Marxen
and B. A. Church, all of tne cias oi
1920 will probably be used. Nettles
was a star in 1917. Marxen earned
his letter in 1918, w hile Church comes
to Lawrence from Baker University
with a good record behind him. For
guards there will be Smith, Desmond,
Jones, Hochuli, Woody, and Peter
Reedy to choose from. If George
Miner is available the Jayhawks think
they will have the best line in the
valley. Three men are showing up
as posible selections for quarterback.
They are: Wood, Lupher, and Bunn.
Pringle and Mandelville will be the
chief candidates for halfback.
