Iron Sphinx Plan to
Enforce Cap Tradition
Plans for enforcement of the
wearing of green caps by freshmen
were discussed at a meet nig of the
Iron Sphinx, honoYary organisation
of sophomores, Thursday evening at
the Beta Theta Pi house. Raymond
Swallow, '25, Lincoln, chairman of
the Innocents' committee on green
caps was present and spoke on the

about five hundred yesterday, and
said they expected to sell that many
more before October 1, the dead-line.
Only 720 are on hand now, but more

ANNUAL REGISTRATION
INCREASE IS NORMAL
Two Hundred More Than Last
Year's Total Come to
Nebraska University.
An increase of 204 students over
last year was shown by registration
fie-nres eiven out yesterday from
Chancellor Avery's office. In 1923
the number registered at the same
period was 4,894; this year it is
5,098, which is said to be a normal
rate of increase.
This figure does not include the
schools of agriculture, which are
connected wit hthe University, nor
the College of Medicine at Omaha,
where the number registered last
year rras 337. Since facilities limit
students in Omaha, the number 'will
be approximately the same this year.
The Graduate College roll is not
complete, because graduate students
are not required to register within
the regular period.
Are Guests
A. Lyman, Mrs. J. E. LeRossignol
and Mrs. W. E. Sealock served rasp
berry ice.
Assisting in the serving among the
guests were Prof, and Mrs. P. A.
Downs, Prof, and Mrs. B. L. Hooper,
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Scott, Mr. and
Mrs. J. E. Smay, and Mr. and Mrs.
R. W. Tyler. The deans of the col
leges of the University were also in
troduced to many of the guests dur
ing the evening.
The walls were decorated with
the pictures of the gallery, and pot
ted plants surrounded the statues.

WORK ON YEARBOOK
IS WELL UNDER WAY
Editors Take as Theme that
University is Vital Part
of Nebraska.
That the University is playing a
vital part in he grown and develop
men of Nebraska will be he theme of
the 1925 Cornhusker. This theme
will predominate throughout the
book in the art work, write-ups, and
organisation.
Plans are well under way for ev-
of organization was done during the
ery section; much of the actual work
summer months. Several designs
for the opening sections of the book
have already been approved, and the
engravers are at work on the plates.
Shortly after the close of school
last spring the contract for engrav
ing was given to the Bureau of En
graving at Minneapolis, and Editor
Berge and Business-Manager Lang
spent several days in Minneapolis
outlining work for the professional
designers. Some of the work how
ever, has been done by Beulah But
ler who designed the sub-division
pages and a number of the borders
in the last Cornhusker.
Cors Present-day Life.
In carrying out the theme the
present-day life of the state and Uni
versity will be stressed. Some of the
photographic work will cover the en
tire state. During the summer, Mr.
A. F. Laravee, director of the cam
pus studio, toured the state and took
a large number of pictures which will
be used in the Cornhusker. The
historical element will be minimized
and Nebraska present-day activities
emphasized.

Nebraska Alumnus
Karl Ulmanis, '09, known as Karl
Ulmann while attending the Univer
sity of Nebraska, formerly president
of the Republic of Latvia, is now
leader of the Peasant's Party, the
second strongest in that country, he
writes in a letter to A. L Haeker
of Lincoln quoted in an article ap
pearing in the September issue of
The Nebraska Alumnus.
"Ulmanis studied agriculture at
the University of Nebraska," says
the article. "He had educated him
self in Latavia before coming to
America, but he wished to learn
something of dairying and other
American farming methods, so he
enrolled in the University."
Ulmanis' activities were lost track
of shortly after his graduation from
the University ni 1909 .In 1919 The
Omaha World Herald printed an ar
ticle about his activities in Europe.
It said in part: "Over in Latvia,
Ulmanis is known. Forty-five years
old, with qualities of leadership
which have brought him to the top
through clashing rival interests dur
ing and following the great war, Ul
manis is the man whom the Letts are
depending upon to lead them out of
chaos.
"His integrity, conservativeness,
fairness and foresight backed by the
practical knowledge acquired during
his education in Nebraska, are the
hope of millions of oppressed people.
Ulmanis is remembered at the Uni
versity of Nebraska as a studious,
New Course Replaces
Study of "The Epic"
The course in Comparative Liter
ature announced in the Bpring under
the title "The Epic" has been with
drawn. In its place, and with the
same calendar number, is offered a
course in world literature. This will
be a survey in translation of repre
sentative works of the chief Euro
pean nations, from the time of the
early Greeks to the present, with the
double object of introducing the stu
dent to the masters of poetry and
prose, and of studying the gradual
development of European culture.
The work of the first semester is
planned to cover the period between
early Greece and Renaissance Eng
land. In brief the course aims to
be a complement to the general sur
very of European history as given in
most universities.
UPPERCLASSMEN
GALL ON FRESHMEN
Y. W. C. A. Will Acquaint
New Women With Customs
And Activities.
Freshman women will be called
upon today by one hundred upper
classwomen in the Y. W. C. A. ac
cording to plans for the second an
nual Calling Sunday. An effort will
be made to visit every home in which
new women are living.
Instructions were given yesterday
to callers at a meeting held r 2
o'clock at Ellen Smith Hall. Infor
mation concerning women's activi
ties and invitations to Y. W. C. A.
parties and Vespers will be given
new women as well as instruction
about rules governing organized
houses and absence from class.
Calling Sunday has been estab
lished by the Y. W. C. A. for the
purpose of helping first-year women
to become acquainted with Univer
sity customs and activities and to
meet upperclasswomen. The associ
ation plans to make Calling Sunday
traditional.
CADETS WILL DSHER
AT FOOTBALL GAMES
Application Blanks May
Secured at Military
Headquaters.
Be
Over three hundred ushers for the
football games are to be recruited
from the ranks of the cadets. All
cadets who' wish to usher may fill out
application blanks at the Military of
fice on the second floor of Nebras
ka Hall. Applications will be ac
cepted until September 27. The
ushers will be able to see the foot
ball games free and will also be giv
en tickets for all other athletic
events.
Because the sophomores are bet
ter acquainted with the Stadium and
the work, some having had experi
ence last year, they will be given the
first chance to usher. Advanced
course men will have charge of the
different sections. These will be
mostly seniors because the juniors
will not get their uniforms until
about November 1.
Gains Fame
As Political Leader in Latvia
capable, but by no means, extraordi
nary man.
" 'He was barely able to speak
English when he first came here,'
said Prof. J. H. Frandsen. 'He was
careful and deliberate and applied
himself closely to his work. He was
with the Roberts' Dairy in Lincoln
for a year after his graduation and
then went to Texas to engage in the
cheese and dairy business. That is
the last we heard of him.'
"Recent dispatches have told
briefly of fighting between German
troops and the armies of Latvia and
Lithuania, which are fighting to pre
serve their independence. Ulmanis
is the head of these armies, directing
them from his capital in Riga."
The former president Karl UJ-
manis, is evidently doing much to
Americanize the country. Magazines
which he sent to Mr. Haecker, copies
of which are in the University Li
brary, are printed in English. The
make-up follows American custom,
Mr. Ulmanis sent a $15 pledge to the
Nebraska Memorial Stadium.
In his recent letter to Mr. H.eck-
er Ulmanis explains that at the pres
ent time they are experiencing a per
iod of political unrest in Latvia.
More than twenty candidates are in
the race for presidency. The Peas
ant's Party, of which he is the lead
er, is the second strongest in the
country, the Socialists being the
strongest
In closing his letter Mr. Ulmanis
says, "The longer I live the more I
begin liking and admiring the history
and greet statesmen of America."
NEBRASKAN TO
HOLD CAMPAIGN
Sorority members will begin a
campaign Monday morning for sub
scribers to The Daily Nebraskan in
an attempt to secure the prize
awarded for the greatest number of
subscriptions sold. The business
management of The Daily Nebras
kan is offering the sorority selling
the largest number of subscriptions
the Daily Nebraskan free for one
year.
This morning, order books were
sent to the sororities. Subscriptions
will be taken until next Thursday
and at that time the sorority stand
ing first will be awarded the prize.
Standings will be figured each eve
ning and published in The Nebraskan
the next morning. The Business
Manager is requesting that sorority
members check in every even.ng so
that the standings will be complete.
A group picture of the winning so
rority also will be published in The
Nebraskan after the close of the
contest. As The Nebraskan is sent
to all the leading colleges in the
country, all the high schools in Ne
braska, and to a large number of
alumni, the business management
feels that the publicity received by
the winner will aloie be sufficient
reward.
Nebraskan Is Larger.
New equipment has been installed
in The Daily Nebraskan office, mak
ing it possible to publish a seven-column
paper. The paper will be a
column wider than last year and the
additional space will be used largely
for news matter.
Notwithstanding the increase in
size the prices this year will be the
same as in previous years. Student
and local subscriptions will cost $2
a year or $1.25 a semester. Mail
subscriptions will cost $3 a year.
The campaign will be directed
from a central booth located between
University Hall and Grant Memor
ial Hall. Tables will be placed in
University Hall, Social Science, and
the Library. Barbara Wiggenhorn
is chairman of the committee that
will direct the sororities in the cam
paign. A year's subscription will count 10
points and a semester's subscription
3 points for the sorority securing it
The sorority having the most points
