A GOLDEN YEAR AHEAD
With the clang of the eight o'clock boll In old U Hall this morn
Ing, the University of Nebraska enters upon a scholastic year fraught
with golden promises. The new year has greater significance for
us all. The hovering war clouds which cast a shadow over the bo
ginning of two previous years have been dispelled and with a sense
of a new obligation, Nebraska opens its resources and its privileges
to the young men and women whom it serves.
Stimulated by war ends, the University responded with quick
sympathy to the effort for training men and wonren for patriotic
service. It gave its Chancellor, its professors, its skilled engineers
and scientists, its men and Its women. And when the need became
more pressing, it turned over the engineering laboratories and build
ings of the school and the campus became a government training
ramp for soldiers.
The days of the S. A. T. C. are over now, professors and stu
dents are back to begin a normal year. The enrollment is believed
to be larger than ever before. Conspicuous in the throngs oi
students who have crowded the campus this week are men who have
been in the service and who are returning to take up their work with
renewed enthusiasm. The serious interest which they have mani
fested in selecting courses of study reflects the spirit which prompts
many to regard their work in the University with deeper intent and
a resolve to get more out of it.
At the same time Nebraska students are feeling the call of a
greater University. The atmosphere is one which demands achieve
ments. Looking forward to the year ahead there are happy possibili
ties of better work in studies, activities and athletics, and Cornhusker
spirit will bring this all about. Let it pervade the campus, athletic
field and classroom and a big step toward progress will be taken.
Husker athletics is open to it, Husker activities, organizations and
classes need it. The whole university can use it to accomplish the
program of bigger things in prospect.
The year 1919 marks the golden anniversary of the founding of
the University of Nebraska. The semi-centennial was appropriately
celebrated last spring at the close of the school year. The year just
opening, however, can by a vigorous and spirited start, bring greater
things to the school in the year of Nebraska's semi-centennial.
TAKING CARE OF FRESHMAN
Freshmen in numbers equalling the population of many a town
are on the campus today.
It is no small problem to place this veritable multitude in clashes,
to provide proper equipment and instruction, to find rooming houses
and eating places, to obtain employment for those who are self-supporting,
to dirrect thoughts and activities into the proper channels
for the accomplishment of things to the best interests of all con
cerned. All phases of the situation directly connected with the education
are under the control of the University offices, but these offices can
be greatly aided in their work by the intelligent and willing co-operation
of all students, especially on the part of the older students,
who know the ropes.
However, the big opportunity for assistance within the power
of the upperclassmen is to aid the freshmen in establishing them
selves with proper influences in their new surroundings. In antici
pation of this, need, the Big Brother and Big Sister movements have
assumed bigger proportions this year than ever before: a freshman
educational week has been devised to instill the new students with
the spirit and ideals of the school, every campus organization Is rep
resented in the work to introduce the newcomers to their University.
While they are becoming acclimated and until the new freshman
rules go into effect, upperclassmen should be the hosts and the fresh
men the guests. The result will be the forming of a firm foundation of
University interest for our new men and women. Ohio State Lantern.
A MOVEMENT FOR BETTER ENGLISH
The action which the university has taken in laying new stress
upon the English language is to be commended. It is a pitiable state
of affairs when students in college cannot express themselves intelli
gently. Student publications are handicapped because of this facL
Instructors are driven to exasperation due to the poorly constructed
and wrongly worded themes and exercises handed in to them.
Steps have been taken to do away with this regrettable condi
tion. Every freshnan must take an examination in his mother
tongue to determine his classification. Those who fail to pass the
test will be placed In the class known as English A, which means
that they must carry two hours a week without receiving credit
until their Instructor deems they are able to go Into English 1. In
the latter class, elementary English composition, the teaching of
simple, straight-forward narrative, will be given.
In addition to composition, courses will be offered In criticism,
language, literature, journalism, and the teaching of English. Stud
ents will be taught to write in a simple, clear, and forceable manner,
that which is too often neglected by the high schools, as well as
the grade schools of the country. A command of English is an asset
to anyone, no matter what his line of work. It Is a prime requisite
to all other subjects.

RUSH MARKS CLOSE
OF REGISTRATION
Close to 3,500 Enrolled for the
Week Fifteen Hundred
Saturday.
Large Late Registration Predict.
ed for Next Week Stu
dent! Still Arriving.
Saturday afternoon on the city
campus or the University or Nebras
ka saw the close of the heaviest week
or regulation in the history or the
school with a total or close to 3.500
students. These figures do not In
clude those registered at the farm
campus, the medical school at Omana
and the agricultural school at Curtia.
So many students have tried to reg
ister that they have not all been taken
care of as yet, and the extremely
heavy registration will undoubtedly
continue Monday. Old students keep
arriving In numbers every day, and
late registrants will probably dwell
the total number to over 6,000.
Ever Blnce 9 o'clock Wednesday
morning, long lines of students have
curled In and out of the Armory and
Administration buildingB, while the
crowds around the desks of deans, ad
visers, and professors, have entirely
hidden from view those important per
sonages. The numbers who will reg
ister on Monday will not so great,
however, and classes for those who
have arranged their schedules will
start promptly on Monday morning.
Registration or new students has
far exceeded all predictions, close to
1.500 new students being reported by
the registrar. It Is estimated that
there are still more who have been
unable to register on account of the
slowness with which they are able to
interview professors and arrange
their schedules.
Spanish and French Popular.
Altogether, some 311 students have
registered for beginning Spanish
which has been a popular subject
with the students for some time. In
beginning French there were about
400. Beginning chemistry had over
300 students when registration ceased
for the night Friday. The enrollment
in mathematics was very heavy, and
the courses in economics are unusual
ly popular.
English, being a required subject,
is taken by every freshman and
carried by most students beyond that
year for part of their course. Tne
registration board indicated an en
rollment of about 300 in English Lit
erature, and even a large number in
Rhetoric.
The colonel in the military depart
ment reported that 750 men had reg
istered with him. This department
is to be increased by a new instructor
for the motor transport corps. Word
was received from Washington. Fri
day by Col. W. F. Morrison relative
to his coming.
The dean of the graduate school
expects to receive many students next
week. These require time for their
assignment to work and are regular
ly handled by the dean and the corps
of professors in the graduate college
after undergraduates have been regis
tered.
