Bight distinct services to the peo

the department of geography as a
Pa-t of its program In addition to

divides, while an Integral part of

PREVIOUS MARK
More than half the students
registered in Teacher's college dur
ing the first semester had regis
tered for the second semester by
Wednesday night, January 16.
Seven hundred and thirty students
have already registered, indicating
that the registration for the com
ing semester will probably be
larger in this college than it has
ever been in any previous, second
semester.
This semester 1466 students, the
large majority of whom were
girls, were registered in Teacher's
college, but In the entire week of
registration for the second semes
ter of last year, only 1311 people
were entered in this college.
DATE FOR PROBATION
v
Inter-Fraternity Body Holds
Original Time Would
Be Inconvenient
NEW PERIOD IS SECRET
Definite postponment of proba
tion period, set previously for Jan
uary 30 to February 2, was enacted
by the Inter-Fraternity council at
their meeting last night. The new
probation date was withheld by
action of the council.
The earlier period, announced in
accord with the rules set up last
year by the interfraternity council,
provided for the probation period
to begin Thursday, January 30, at
10 o'clock. This time was defended
on the basis that it would interfere
very little with examinations, and
would not Interfere with regular
class work, which would be the
case at a later date.
Original Date Inconvenient
In deciding upon a later date the
council expressed the opinion that
the earlier period would interfere
with examinations, on the part of
botb the pledges and the upper-
classmen. A motion to the effect
that the date be withheld was car
rled after the period had been set
An amendment to cut the proba
tion period to twenty-six hours, be
ginning at 10 o'clock on Friday
night, and ending, as before, at 12
o'clock on Saturday night, was lost
when it failed to receive a second.

council, read the editorial pub

adoption of a program toward the

He-tlected . President
Of Council
WORK IS INCREASING
Earl 8.' Fullbrook; associate pro
fessor of marketing in the college
of Business Administration was re
elected president of the Lincoln
Council of Social Agencies yester
day at the annual meeting of the
Council held at the chamber of
commerce.
Dr. Ray E. Hunt was elected
vice-president with Mrs. Eugene
Levy, recording secretary, and Mrs,
C. E. McOlasson, treasurer.
In the annual report of Louis
Horn, secretary, he declared that
the spirit of co-operation In wel
fare problems of the community is
growing and the ernciency or sucn
work is steady due to the interest
and co-operation that civic and
welfare agencies are giving the
Council of Social Agencies.
Horn Makes Comment
In speaking of the Council as a
clearing house for the use of va
rious welfare organizations- Mr.
Horn states that during the last
year the volume of Inquiries that
are sent to the agency has doubled.
The naving in time and money has
more than paid for the bureau.
Because of the spontaneous out
bursts of sympathy t for the poor
around Christmas time, a special
holiday bureau has been instituted.
No criticism of the spirit of gift
were offered by Mr. Horn' except
that often gifts were given In a
maudelln spirit and sentimentality.
When this Is tbe case, then It
means harder work for the
agencies to get the families back to
a self-reepectlng and seir-support-Ing
bssls.
In tire past several years many
families have received two or morel
baskets of food while others have
received none. Through the meant
of the agency the baskets are dis
tributed more evenly.
The health problem has been one
which the agency also bas to con
tend, said Mr. Horn. The Red
Cross and City Health department
have been doing exceptional and
valuable health work.
.The council secretary suggested
that a health committee should be
created In the council to aid in cor
relation of the health program and
prevent duplication and friction.

Dinner Program
Dr. A. V. Hunter, Methodist su
perintendent of the Hastings area,
speaking with a direct frankness
that caught the attention of his
hundred and sixty hearers with the
first word and kept them listening
with an eager tenseness to the last,
delivered an address last night on
"Students at the Crossroads" as
the' climax of the All-Methodist
student banquet, held at the Grace
Methodist church.
"There is a message In every
cross road for us," pointed out Dr.
Hunter. The sign there seems to
say: 'Watch Your Step.' On the
highway and in life cross-roads
represent an emergency that must
be met.
Dlecuss Life's Problems
'The cross road sign says more
than that. It says: 'Every decision
you make will not only affert you
but will affect someone else as
well.' Usually when we come td a
crossroad, we can do one of four
things. We can go, stop, or turn to
the right or left, But there are
times when we can only stop or
go. We must either do the right
thing or the wrong."
Dr. Hunter spoice or tne cross
road emergencies that the student
has to meet in his every day life.
Vocational cross-roads are vital
these days, he said. So also are
financial, ethical, and social cross
roads. 'One of the greatest cross-roads
that the young man and woman
meets up with," declared Dr.
Hunter, "Is that of physical rela
tions. It la a problem that I have
been following for years. My study
of It has helped much to give me
confidence In young people. Many
are facing this decision and coin
ing through to win victory.
"Every normal man and woman
bas a dream of a home of his or
her own. It Is the conquest and
the battle against eiery influence
which might tend to destroy this
dream that makes this problem
one of tbe most vital cross-roads
that the young man and the young
woman meets."

of the most elaborate affairs

ON STUDENTS' FUTURE
Dean Points With Optimism
To Mass of College
Graduates
-r-
YOUTH FORGES AHEAD
As the first semester of the col
lege year Is drawing to a close T. J.
Thompson, dean of student affairs,
looks with optimism on the futures
of the great mass ot college stu
dents. This he expressed In an in
terview with a Dally Nebraskan re
porter Thursday.
Dean Thompson especially notes
with optimism the competitive spir
it which Is driving the American
youth onward.
"Several years ago," he said,
"there was a great deal of comment
and editorial writing concerning
the 'Youth Movement.' This move
ment, fostered by a few 'unbutton
ed' individuals, lacked the cool,
calculating, competitive spirit that
is driving American youth into the
colleges and universities and out
again into the industries, profes
sions, and vocations of life."
Few Here for Good Time
Dean Thompson recognizes there
are some students who come to tbe
University to ruthlessly waste their
time and are content In merely get
ting by by picking "pipe" courses.
However, he believes that the great
mass of students are interested in
getting an education. .
Speaking of this type of student
he says, "they -come seeking learn
ing and r,ultwe,Xh!-.wl8b. to have.
their sensibilities quickened, tneir
imagination stimulated, and their
appreciation of the beautiful en
larged. T'.ey are willing to toll for
hour op hour that they may in
crease their discipline and their
minds, strengthen their will power,
and doubtless acquire considerable
learning.
"Eventually it will be these per
sons who will be the country's
leaders. I say thlr because tomor
row America will be a nation of col
lege-educated Individuals. That
this will be true is easily visualized
when it is pointed out that there

HOVISWlULD
OUST REGENT BOARD
Bill Is Also Drafted to Bar
Fraternity Pledging
First Year
Abolition of the university board
of regents and the stale normal
board Is proposed in a bill which
Victor M. Hovls, of Lexington, will
Introduce in the house of the state
legislature If he can secure the
backing of the educational com
mittee, of wblch he is chairman.
His plan calls for tbe formation of
a state board of education, made up
of one member from each congres
sional district and the state super
intendent of public Instruction as
an ex-offlclo member.
The plan, If adopted, would pro
vide for the submission of the plan
to the people In 19.10. If ratified,
the board would organize in 1930
with members of the board of re
gents holding over until the ex
piration of their terms. The new
members will have six year terms,
two members to be elected every
two yoars, In the same manner as
the regents are now elected. Pay
ments for services Is to be on a
per diem basis, the rate to be set
by the legislature.
To Unify Education Cause
Unification of the educational
work of the state Is the basis for
the proposed bill. Under its pro
visions three educational branches
will be placed in one department,
the common schools, normal
schools and the university.
"Unnecessary and unwise" is the
war Chancellor E. A. Burnett de
scribed the proposal when mention
of the plan was made earner in tne
week. The chancellor believes that
the present board is functioning
very successfully, and that there Is
no need for a change. He also sug
gests an Increase in expense in
connection with the new board.
In addition to bis regents bill,
Hovls has drafted a bill which pro
vides for expulsion as the penalty
for fraternity pledging or rushing
during the freshman year. Al
though he will seek the support of
his committee on this bill, he la not
so anxious for such support as In
the case of the regents bill.
Opposition to the first measure

Representative E. P. Wilson, of
