matter what her physical condition
is, as long as she is physically able
to attend the University, will find a
type of work offered for her physical
development.
This work has been carried on In
the past on a small scale for the few
who desired it under the direction off
Miss Lee, head of the Physical Edu
cation Department, who in prepara
tion for the work served for two
years in the Children's Hospital of
Boston under the supervision of Dr.
Robert Lovett. Now the department,

estimate. There were many people
in the building at all times, but the
museum was not thronged with visi
tors as in previous years.
Physical Education
and there will be no reason for ex
cusing students from the department
requirements.
Miss Rausch has had two years or
special training for this work in the
Central School of Physical Education

COLISEUM WILL
HOUSE WINTER
CLASS SPORTS
Herbert Gish Announces List
Of Intra-Murals for
Coming Year
BEGIN NEW POINT SYSTEM
Trophy Will Be Given Fraternity
Securing Most Counters
During Whole Season
Intra-mural athletics, under the
direction of Acting Athletic Director
Herbert Gish, will be introduced to
Nebraska students this year with the
University Coliseum completed, facil
ities have been increased so that a
complete program of winter sports
may be carried out. The program 'of
athletics has been divided into three
classes. The major class includes
basketball, mid-winter track and
baseball; the intermediate class in
cludes wrestling and cross country
running; in the minor class are
tennis, handball, volleyball, 'horse
shoe pitching and rifle shooting.
The most radical change in the
program will be the all-year point
system. By this plan a trophy will
be awarded the fraternity which has
the largest number of points for the
entire year. An example of this
point awarding may be taken from
basketball. Each team entering re
ceives fifty points and the winner
receive points according to the num
ber of games they win. This idea
will be carried out in the other
sports with some changes.
Ample Room
The Coliseum has six basketball
courts which will afford ample room
for tournaments. Acting Director
Gish plans on having about four
courts, eleven handball courts, four
wrestling rings and a number of in
door baseball and volleyball courts
will be prepared for the use of the
students.
Same At Ag Campus
With the addition of the student
activities building at the Agricultural
College, campus sports under the
program of the intra-mural activi
ties will be carried on there. The
system of points will be the same at
both places.
Although a permanent trophy will
be presented this year, the trophy
skins will still be awarded to the
winners of the various events as
has been the custom in the past.
The outdoor program consisting of
fall track and tennis will begin im
mediately. The indoor program will
not get under way until about the
middle of October. The Coliseum
will be fixed up within the next two
weeks bo that students may begin
practicing for the coming events.
Gish is having a pamphlet printed
on the intra-mural sports which will
include the rules, regulations and
schedule. This handbook wall be
distributed in the near future.

Zorbaugh, hockey chairman for the
year. "And our hardest work is go
ing to be reaching those girls not
the organization of the sports them
selves."

HAYES IS MADE NEW
Y.M.C. A. SECRETARY
Has
Twelve Year's Experience
Student Association Work
As Background.
Mr. C. D. Hayes, who succeeds Ar
thur Jorgenson as secretary of the
University Y. M. C. A., comes to Ne
braska with twelve years experience
in student association work.
Since his graduation from Lehigh
University in 1905 he has altered his
career, abandoning his chosen trade
of electrical engineering to take up
Y. M. C. A. work. He began in 1908
while in the employ of the General

M. C. A., of that city for three
years.

STUDENT DEMAND
FOR WORK LARGE
Employment Bureau Reports Excess
Of Applications Over
Openings
The University Y. M. C. A. Em
ployment bureau has accepted 521
applications by students for employ
ment since September 6.
The Lion's club drive for student
employment! held Thursday and
Friday. September 2 and 3, netted
over 130 positions in Lincoln avail
able to students. In spite of the
fact that this was one of the most
successful drives ever held here,
William Trumbull, employment sec
retary, declares that the situation is
not much improved. He points out
that the dry year, with the resulting
crop failures, has placed more than
the ordinary number of students
. . .
upon tneir own resources, conse
quently the employment bureau is
anxious to hear of all possible open
ings. Secretary Trumbull announced;
"The employment bureau would
appreciate the reporting of any stu
dent found unreliable or unsatisfac
tory in his work. We do not want
a few men jeopardizing the possibili-
ties of a working student body which
is almost wholly reliable, hard work
ing and conscientious.'
Nine Fraternities and Sororities
Locate New Homes Near Campus
A residential section near the city
campus dotted with nine new fra
ternity and sorority houses greets
the students returning for the new
school year. Since laBt spring seven
new sorerity houses and two for fra
ternities have been erected. In
accordance with the "Back to the
Campus " movement all are located
within easy reach of the University
buildings.
On fraternity row, R Street west
of Sixteenth, Delta Teu Delta and
Beta Theta Pi have constructed new
homes. The sororities which are
building include Alpha Omicron Pi,
Alpha Delta Theta, Pi Beta Phi,
Kappa Ddta, Delta Delta Delta,
Alpha Chi Omega, and Delta Gamma,
all on sorority row, which runs along
Sixteenth Street from B to T and
includes University Court, at Seven
th enth and R Streets.
The remaining Creek letter
organizations on the campus will be
found in the houses occupied last
year, with the exception of Sigma
Kappa, which has moved to 1515 L
Street
5000 STUDENTS
ENROLL; EQUALS
MARK LAST YEAR
Chancellor Avery Predicts the
Figures Will Not Beat
Those of 1925-26
TWO REASONS ARE GIVEN
Says Poor Crops Kept Many
Away; Higher Standards
Also a Factor
Reports from Chancellor Avery's
office late Thursday showed that the
enrollment for the coming year had
equalled that of the first semester
of 1925. Chancellor Avery predicted
that there would be no increase over
last year's number. Approximately
5000 students have registered in the
University proper. This does not in
clude the School of Medicine at Oma
ha, the secondary agricultural cours
es or the Teachers College high
school.
Chancellor Avery stated that there
were two outstanding reasons why
the registration d'4 pothow-any ad'
vance over list $'jiai Tfce first -Was
the bad crop's " in'' the" Middle-West
and western- parts ffi' jtsite.' This
kept many .boys frpin; .attending the
University. The second, ;ia the 'fie
that the standards of :theS-hooIare
much higher than they were a few
years ago. The University was un
able to handle so many students.
.. Increase la Military Department.
Reports from the Military Depart
ment show that there will be a prob
able increase. About 1500 men from
last year are already enrolled and
with the new class the total will no
doubt exceed that of last year.
The Agricultural College reports
the largest increase. Until Wednes
day, September 15, ninety-eight boys
and seventy-six freshmen girls had
registered. This is more than 200
percent greater than last year. This
is due partly to the addition of "the
Liberal Course in Agriculture' and
"A g r i c u 1 1 u r al Administration
course."
Green Buttons in Vogue
For Freshmen Women
Green buttons will be the fashion
this fall for freshmen girls.
The decree is issued by Xi Delta,
honorary sophomore women's organi
zation, which will enforce the rule
more rigidly than ever before. They
promise punishments for those who
neglect the wearing of the buttons
which proclaim them members of the
class of '30.
The wearing of the buttons is not
a hazing process. It will not open the
wearers to ridicule as is generally
supposed. They serve the purpose of
helping the freshmen to recognize
their classmates, and promote a help
ful spirit in upper classmen.
Freshmen girls are urged to obtain
their buttons as soon as possible at
the hosiery counter at Rudge and
Guenzel's 6tore at Thirteenth and N
Streets.
Architectural Exhibit
Shown in Art Gallery
A small architectural display is
now on exhibition in the Art Gallery
of the Library. The display is com
posed of pictures, paintings and
sketches of public buildings, monu
ments and bridges, and homes. Some
of these are in colors and are very
attractive. This architectural exhi-
ition will be here for a short time,
and students interested in architee-
ture are urged to take advantage of
this opportunity.
To counteract the increasing
tendency of fraternities to locate in
the residential district of South Lin
coln, the idea of a definite and per
manent place for the organizations
was brought forth. In the future as
new houses are constructed, it is
planned that they will be added to
the present rows of buildings to
make a solid section of Greek letter
societies. In the early days of the
University the fraternities and
sororities were all located in the
territory near the campus until more
favorable residences were offered in
South Lincoln.
The same general idea of construc
tion has been followed in all the
new houses. The dining - room,
kitchen, storage-rooms, and chapter
room are all in the basement, while
the first floor contains a suite of
living-rooms with the study rooms
and dormitory on the second and
third floors. With the exception of
the Delta Tau Delta house, which is
finished in white stone, the ether
houses present the same extend
