Students Say
Round-Up Week
Disrupts Work
"It is all over but the shouting and
the sobbing," wailed a fair co-ed.
''Why you just get to thinking about
working and then you have to give
it up for vacation."
That is what many are thinking
now just before the final examina
tions. It was so much more fun to
think about parties, masqueing and
tapping, and to let the studies slide.
As a result there will probably be
much midnight oil burned by both
sexes and much misery at the final
examinations.
Finals Not To Be Forgotten
"The last class has been over so
long that we've abput forgotten what
it was all about But we can't for
get about the finals." That was the
sentiment of one Wv'ary student af
ter three days of Round-Up.
Memorial day is the big loop-hole
in the week's schedule. The bulk of
the student body is assured of two
hours work from 8 to 1 o'clock Wed
nesday morning. But the rest of the
day ia closed to examinations. Which
means that the bulk of the student
body, anxious to return home will re
main in Lincoln an extra day.
Object to Staying Extra Day
Columbus day, Lincoln's birthday,
Washington's birthday, Arbor day,
are all school days. But when it
gets around to Memorial day when
students want to go home, then
school is not held.
That is the tenor of the average
student's major complaint of exam
ination week. In fact, being held an
extra day, really seemed to be worry,
ing students more than steady ap
proach of the zero hour for finals.
Summer Child Clinic
Will Be Held June 4
Twenty Youncsters Will Meet With
Special Guidance Director at
Bancroft School
Twenty children from varied parts
of the state and the city of Lincoln
will gather together 1 the Bancroft
school, June 4, under the guidance
of Miss Pauline Camp, director of
child guidance and special education
at Madison, Wis. for the second sum
mer child clinic to be held in the city.
The old idea that the child was
doomed to lisp or stutter because
his grandparents did is no longer be
lieved, and modern educationalists
scientifically go about it to correct
the slight defect while the child is
still young. The diagnosis and treat
ment of these children requires the
skill of an expert.
In diagnosing the cases the speech
defects are usually found to date

TRACK MENTOR
REFEREES MEET
Schulte Is Umpire of Western
Conference Field Events
At Evanston, III.
Coach Henry F. Schulte, Univer
sity of Nebraska track coach, refer
eed the Western conference track
and field championships at Evanston,
Illinois, Friday and Saturday, May
25 and 26.
Coach Schulte is known over the
country for not only producing cham
pionship track teams and notable
cinder stars but also for his wide
knowledge of track and his ability to
supervise track contests. .
Referees Many Meets
This season the Husker mentor has
served as referee of the Drake relays
and the Western conference games
as well as many college meets around
Nebraska. Many of the most famous
track stars point back to "Indian"
Schulte as the reason for their out
standing ability. He was the man in
many cases who found them and de
veloped them.
Only last week Charley Paddock,
"the world's fastest human," who is
not as strong as in former years
came to Lincoln to have a "special
ist" give him some pointers. That
specialist was Coach Schulte.
Has Famous Proteges
Bob Simpson, Missouri Valley hur
dle record holder, was one of Schul
te's boys at Missouri. Of recent
years such men as Ed Weir, Roland
Locke, and Fait Elkins have worked
out under the supervision of the Hus
ker mentor.
During his regime at the Univer
sity of Nebraska Coach Schulte has
turned out five Missouri Valley
track and field championship teams,
while his teams have not fallen be
low third place in other Valley cham
pionship meets.
Coach Schulte will soon take up his
active duties as assistant Olympic
coach for the 1928 games to be held
a Amsterdam, Holland, this sum
mer. The Husker coach has not been
notified as to where he will work
first but will know in a short time,
he announced.
