News of the Day
Four thousand and twelve students
had completed their registration by
payment of their fees up to two weeks
ago. indications point to a large late
registration which will bring the total
enrollment up to about 4.500. How
ever, it is not expected to come up
to that of last year which was 6,754.
These figures do not include the
Medical School enrollment which will
probably reach the 200 mark.
Many ex-students are registered
this year in school. The Law Col-
lege-and the College of Business Ad
ministration enrollment Is far greater
this year than that of last year, ac
cording to the Registrar.
Each year the enrollment has In
creased until now Nebraska can hold
her own with other larger schools In
the country.

Some of the questions Involved I fljct between the Interstate com mis
nnn-ibers, others were pictorial in na
tore, and some of the more technical
questions that "stumped" the co-eds
were, "What kind of a carburetor is
used in a motorcycle?" and "What
would you do If you were driving
load of lumber and became mired;
would you call for help, go back to
town for more horses, or throw out
some of the lumber and after pulling
out of the mud hole, reload the wagon
again?"
Freshmen showed great interest In
the tests. Mathematical tests were
especially Interesting, according tc

technical questions were very difficult
and those students who succeeded In
answering theee correctly will be

of the tests were so simple that they
were carelessly performed, according
to those In charge of the tests.

bers will spend the week-end camplnp
at Horky's park, Crete, Neb. The
girls will leave Lincoln Friday after
noon at 6:50 o'clock and return Sun
day afternoon.
The committee in charge has an
nounced that the expenses will
amount to $3.32 a person which in
cludes railroad fare, room and food.
All those who Intend to go should
pay 2 to Eleanor Snell before Thurs
day noon and sign their names on
bulletin on the board in the Armory.
The campers will sleep In cabins
on cots. Every girl must bring her
own blankets. The camp is situated
on the Blue River and boating and
hiking will be among the amuse
ments offered. The committee Is
anxious to have a large number of
girls go to Crete.
Aggies are out for the championship
of the conference again and in addi
tion hope to take the measure of Ne
braska, thereby claiming the su-
premecy of the entire Middle-West
Huskers Preparing Daily.
Coach Schulte is losing no time in
putting his team in preparation for
the invaders from Colorado. Scrim
mage between the first and second
Varsity outfits was held Tuesday
night and the Varsity and Freshmen
tangled last night and are booked
again for today. The Freshman
eleven Is considerably handicapped
by the loss of Noble, Lewellen and
others who are laid up with injuries.
Coach Schlssler does not intend to
use any of these men until their in
juries are entirely healed.
The Varsity squad is rapidly Im
proving and new plays and forma
tions are being developed. The
Huskers realize the strength of the
Western foe and are preparing for a
hard battle. It is quite likely that
Schulte will start tie same lineup
against the Aggies that he entered
