Lliirti 'tftft''""" Hi THE DAILY NEBRASKA!! Enrollment of 2,194 Students In Extension Work Indicates Interest Extension work is now being ta ken by 2,194 active students, the largest number ever enrol)ed in this department. Over 500 of these are evening students.. Interest in this work, taken by the teachers, business men, and more ma ture people as a rule, has been in creasing steadily. Students often take a course i". the summer time, drop it during the winter, and finish it the next summer. Failures are few. Courses are terest in the subject, because of eventual failure, or because the work didn't meet the need of the individ ual. By 2,903 students who have taken this work, 12,160 hours have been completed, while from a total of 2,685 students, 0,535 hours have been dropped. Among all the stu dents who have taken extension work, 55 per cent completed it, and 44 per cent dropped it . Given College Credit Of 155 courses given, the most popular are English, Education, and History. From the total number of students, 25.7 per cent have finish ed courses in English, 23 per cent In Education, and 15 per cent In His tory. Practically all courses are ac credited ones of college credit. On an average, one student car ries four hours. Tuition is four dol lnrs a credit hour, and the registra tion fee is one dollar. A fee is de- nosited for books and when they are returned two-thirds of the money is refunded to the student After three times the books, which come from the Extension department 8 own book store, pay for themselves. Done Through Mailt Assignments with references and questions are printed and sent to the students. After they are returned to the reader they are graded, com mented on, and again sent back. Ex aminations are sent to the superin tendent, principal or person approved by the county superintendent, of the the school nearest the student. Te examination is conducted by this person who afterwards sends it in to the Extension office to be graded. Nebraska A Victim Of Grasshopper Scourge In Years 1873 and 1874 Everyone has heard of the grass' hopper plagues of ancient Egypt. Few people have heard of the grass hopper raids of pioneer Nebraska Yet hopper raids, an account of which is given in the "Nebraska His tory and Record of Pioneer Days," occurred in Nebraska in the years 1873 and 1874. About 3 p. m. Sunday, the 26th of July, 1874, grasshopers coming from the northwest appeared by the millions near the present village of Alvo, Cass County. Few came at first, then clouds, then not as many, then another cloud, and in a short time they swarmed everywhere. In the cornfields the blades were loaded with red-legged, long-winged hoppers. They ate up most of the corn, the gardens, and the leaves of the trees that afternoon, and in the morning were busy depositing eggs for the next year's crop. Though the hard road was a favorite place, they were busy in the culti vated fields, and everywhere else. Their eggs were deposited, 20 or 30 in a little sack, in a hole an inch or so deep. At about 10 o'clock a. m. the 6th day, they all arose and journeyed to the southeast after having eaten everything green ex cept the grass and potato patches. About the 15th of April, 1875, the eggs began to hatch out As they hatched, the little fellows dug their way to the top and hovered round the mouth of their den. After the cold rains which fortunately came in April and May, scarcely one of them could be found. But every sunny day there were millions hatched, and in May 'many were still alive. Their bodies were large and their hops were rather clumsy. Little in closed, pads on their backs broke open after awhile and liberated their wings, which were full-grown, but doubled up. After a flap or two young hoppers were ready to fly, and soon after their wings came out they took flight to the northwest. All spring they could be seen flying away, but by early in June they were almost gone. Late in October, 1876, there was a small visitation which did little damage. The loss of crops to those who stayed by their homes was about 50 per cent in 1874, 10 per cent in 1875, and 5 per cent in 1876. Those who gave up their lands suffered a loss of almost of all they had in vested. Witto connected with the hoop from the foul line to bring the score to 13 to 12 for Omaha. Lincoln called time out. Skelly fouled Kimball but the Lincoln center missed his chance to knot the count. Drummond's team worked the ball down with long passes and Houston made one good from the side to give Tech a 8-point lead over Lincoln. Tech called time out and Swenson returned to the lineup for Skelly. Nelson returned to center and Swenson played a guard position. Witte made a technical foul and both teams missed shots under the basket. Morrison went back for Lincoln as Buechners guard. Wittee dribbled ah 1ft L .t' Witte dribbled half the length of the floor and put his his third basket throusrh the hoop from the center Tech stalled an instant with their lead of one point. Prcrost took the ball down the floor and made good a set up under the basket. Lincoln called time out, with thirty second to play. Tech put on a pretty exhibition of stalling for the rest of the game. Score: Omaha 17, Lincoln 14. Basis of Admission Requirements Shifted (Continued From Page One) of a major (3 units) and 2 minors (2 units each), which shall include English and mathematics for all col leges.

Shepardson Stresses The Idea of Service (Continued From Page One) in one direction we will find the power house, and at the other end we will discover how the power is used." Mr. Shepardson went on to ex plain that a power line is of no use if the power house is inadequate. The source of power may be extreme ly humble, but it is the use of the power that counts. Library Like Power Houe An anology was drawn between a library and a uower house, and men were taken to be the transmission lines. The speaker showed that the power house was useless without the lines and that each needed the other. We must take the ideas from other thinirs and transmit them to our fellowmen. for it is not the quantity of the ideas that count, but the ser vice which they do. Mr. Shepardson illustrated the idea that the source of power may be humble and yet accomplish a deal of cood bv a few concrete illustra tions. He said that the influence might be only a statue or a sentence, yet it might shape the whole course of a life. Mr. Shepardson leaves Lincoln to day for Vermillion, S. D., where he will install a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Speak to Frat President The central purposes and ideals of the National Interfraternity Council were set forth by Dr. Shep ardson in an impressive address, at the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce Saturday noon, at a meeting of the members of the Nebraska Interfra ternity Council and of fraternity presidents, attended by University deans and the directors and Chancellor Avery. In introducing Dr. Shepardson Prof. M. M. Fogg spoke of his fine life, devoted to doing good to the young people, going about the college world help ing young people steer thtir way straight and high. Dr. Shepardson emphasized rais ing of scholarship as an outstanding purposo of the National Interfrater nity Council, organized seventeen years ago, for scholarship is the main thing in a college course. Fostering the spiritual side of college life is another fundamental purpose of tho Council premiuming the finer things. He mentioned the custom at Kenyon College, Ohio, where one fraternity never interrupts another fraternity in its singing. Interfraternity meetings of under graduates and of alumni is another end the National Council is WorV ing for. ' WANT ADS LOST: Shell rimmed glasses, Sioux City mark on lens wiper.

Second Quarter Lincoln worked the ball through the Tech defense early in the quarter but Fisher missed the shot. Tech stalled for a minute, worked the ball down slowly and Houston put one through the hoop from the foul line. Drummond's team worked the same thing again but failed, under the basket Fisher fouled Millhollin, who made the toss good. Millhollin held Sawyer a minute later, but the Lincoln forward missed his chance to score. Witte blocked Millhollin under the basket; the Tech forward added two more points to his- point column.

S. Kresge Company is the result of efficient operation. Every link in the great Kresge chain of stores is made strong through the selection of men of integrity and ability. The men who manage the Kresge stores were chosen because of their desire to establish for themselves worthwhile futures. They were willing to start at the bottom, for training in the Kresge stores, and work their way forward. And because they had faith in them selves and the Kresge Company they reached their goal. The Kresge Company is constantly add ing new stores to its long chain, and for these stores new managers are needed. If you are the type of man who believes that success awaits him who works, here is an opportunity well worth investigating. Write at once to our Personnel Depart ment and we shall arrange for you to meet a graduate of your own college who has already found success in the Kresge organization.
