CHANGED REGISTRATION.
NTO more proRrensiv movement could b initialed
' at the L'niveraity of Nebraska today than
camraign to change the, present tem of register
inr 9.000 atudenta In five dayi time.
Th-a week Mudenta and Instructora are undergo
ing registration. The melee will get Into full awing
hy the middle of the week and will assume large
proportions Friday when the procwlinator of the
Mudent body rush to their advi.ers.
Registration should do two things. It should con
centrate the a'udent'a attention on lila eiillie college
course and it should provide a personal contact be
tween him and the adviser that otherwise would
not exist
Aa now conducted It does neither. The student,
with a hazy Idea of what he wanta to take the next
semester, approaches his adviser. The adviser
scans the student's program, checks it to aee if the
proper number of requirements are being arranged
for, and signs it after a ery brief conference. The
student ia Interested In running the registration
gauntlet of red tape as quickly aa possible. And the
adviser Is anxioua that he do so.
As carried on at the present time, three things
are wrong with registration at fhe University of
Nebraska:
1. Registration week focuses the student'a at
tention only on the work of one semester in ad
vance and does not require him to make plana for
his complete course.
2. The student does not get a complete knowl
. edge of the courses for which he registers. He
walks blindly into many of them without suffi
cient examination of what they have to offer him.
3 Hla contact with his adviser during regis
tration Is very limited because of their mutual
desire to get it over with aa quickly as possible.
SOME may argue that this is all the fault of the
atudent And from one point of view Uiis would
seem correct The student is theoretically bis own
master and should Investigate carefully his courses
and his field of work in college before registering.
Mistakes made are attributable only to his own
carelessness. If he so desires, he may arrange ln
foriai chats with his adviser and other professors
throughout the semester.
The university, however, is r ot doing its part in
encouraging students to take care in their registra
tion. Kaste on the part of advisers makes for haste
on the part of students. But the advisers are not
solely to blame. Their work la distributed so un
equitably that many can not possibly give proper
consideration to all registrants. Some of the 200
listed in the catelog register as many as 150 stu
dents each while others have as few as five or six
throughout the week.
The undesirable condition which now exists anent
registration could be remedied if the following plan
were put into effect:
1. Registration would continue two weeks in
atead of one.
3. The first half of the students, selected on
an alphabetical basis, would register the first
week, the second half, the last week.
3. Each student would outline his college course
and discuss his scholastic interests with his ad
viser for a full hour. Appointments would be
made and posted in advance.
4. Advisers would include only assistant, as
sociate and full professors.
This plan would be practical, would carry out the
ideals that should be apparent Jn registration of
university students. It would obviously be confined
to the registration of present students as such a
plan could not apply to the great influx of fresh
men in the fall.
REGISTRATION is the one compulsory direct con
tact t?at students make with any faculty mem
ber during the semester. Because their association
is almost entirely with young people, atudents keep
a youthful point of view that lacks the soundness
and maturity that should be developed in college
that can be cultivated much more rapidly through
association with learned adults.
A conference hour in connection with registration
would be of immeasurable value. It would draw
each individual s attention to the underlying purpose
of his college career which becomes obscured in
the technical registration process. It would give
him a persp-tiv of his entire curriculum. It would
permit him to get the personal ideas of a leader in
the field In which bis interests fell.
The university seeks to promote scholarship. It
fails to take the proper initiative when it ignores
the importance of the registration period and does
not make the most of this moment in the student s
college life. .
Nothing the university could do would be of
greater worth in engendering a scholastic atmos
phere in the atudent body than a conference hour.
It would provide the neglected contact with the best
men on the faculty. It would focus student atten
tion on the work ahead. It would inform the stu
dent of the exact nature of courses he chose. It
would change the interests of a number of sudenls
which are now diverted from scholarship to social
lines. It u!'1 eliminate lb ituJt-M'i dir to

the advancement of a political cause, unworthy of

honest vouns men and women ar taking the reins
of atudent government. Their intelligence and the
merit of their aims should defeat any attempts of
the caucus-taller to prey off th gullible student
body.
PENSIONS.
j MOVEMENTS ate on foot In various stales at this
time to establish pension systems for univer
sity professors. In a few colleges, pension are now
provided for faculty member who have served
faithfullv and lone.
Inauguration of such a plan at Nebraska would 1
be apropos If the salary raid the Cornhusker fac
ulty were high enough to allow the professors to
save a part of their wages to build up a portion of
the pension fund.
All pension systems are promoted on the basis
that the professor set spait percentage of his sal
ary each year. At the end of a given time, usually
about twenty years, faculty members may draw on
this pension fund and receive from one-third to two
thirds of their former salary. Removal to other
Institutions of any professor is accompanied by a
refunding of the amount he has contributed with
interest added.
Nothing seems more pitiable than the professor
who has spent his whole life in teaching and mu.it
end it in poverty. Aged, infirm, he must either be
kept on the faculty at full pay while unable to teach
effectively or be turned adrift to eek out an exist
ence on the pitance he has been able to rave from
the inadequate salary paid him.
It is this situation that the pension plan seeks to
remedy. Faculty men and women who devote the
better part of their lives to the advancement of
education and the promotion of culture certainly
are deserving of a stipend which will permit them
to spend their declining days in comfort and in
freedom from financial worries.
But pensions will be possible only when taxpay
ers of Nebraska elect legislators who will appro
priate enough to pay adequately the financially un
dernourished instructors at this universiity. No
better investment could be made with state money.
No greater returns could be obtained from any other
security.

"On of thes women who hang

average young girl seen on th

FACULTY GROUP SEES
JAMES'
LINES.
SOMEONE once included the art of conversation
in enumerating the recognized professional arts.
At Nebraska it is a lost art and one that is sadly in
need of cultivation.
Intelligent conversation 'is interesting, but the
superfluous babble that runs forth in an unending
stream from the mouths of Nebraska boys and girls
is insipid and sickening.
Men find particular cause to object to the stand
ardized line they discover without much of an ex
ploration in most coeds with whom they associate.
The gushers that erupt on the Nebraska campus
rival the oil wells of all Oklahoma in volume, in
number, and in apparent intelligence.
This standard line is easily discernable through
the excessive use of superlatives. "Most perfect,"
"simply glorious," "heavenly," "just wonderful,"
"awfully sweet," "positively grand," are terms
which fit easily into the coed's depleted vocabulary.
From the masculine point of view, this tommyrot
seems obnoxious and very tiresome. Nebraska co
eds need to revamp their line of chatter to suit their
own personalities instead of making a valiant el'fort
to conform to type. This individualistic doctrine of
the democratic party in coed conversation, at least,
is basically sound.
Sororities that want to perpetuate the popularity
of their choice sisters should add .activity credit or
remove black marks if they develop original lines.
Sends Letters to Seniors
Urging Them to Enter
School in June.
R. D. Morltz, director of the
summer session, and alf director
of the department of educational
service, has recently sent a letter
to high school seniors stating a
number of reasons why they should
commence their university work
during the summer session which
begins at the university June 10.
His reasons are:
"A student may receive more
helpful advice. Advisors are not
so rushed during the summer ses
sion as they are during registra
tion preceding the opening of
school In September.
"A student deficient in entrance
requirements In languages, mathe
matics, English, science, etc.. may
remove these deficiencies during
the summer session.
"After graduation from high
school, amny students are unable
to find employment in their home
communities. Such students may
continue their schooling by at
tending summer sessions and
shorten the time requirement in
securing a university degree by
one year. The saving of a year's
time is quite important for those
who plan to complete their work in
engineering, medicine, law and
dentistry.
"A student who must work part
time to help defray expenses while
attending the university may earn
nine college hours credit during the
summer session and thus lighten
his academic work sufficiently
during the regular college year to
enable him to devote some time to
outside employment.
"Attending the summer session
affords a student an added advan
tage in finding employment. It
acquaints h i m with conditions
u-hirh will mftteriallv assist him in
finding suitable work in the fall. I
"Rooming facilities are better
and cheaper during the summer
session than in the fall."
lors. The English tests are for
the classification of students in the
three .different English courses,
English 0. 1 or 3. The algebra
test is given only to prospective
eiiKliieeiiiig students and is used
also to clussify these students In
mathematic courses.
For students who are going to
register for beginning chemistry,
an aptitude test in that subject
will be given in the high schools
of the state. This also to aid in
making class adjustments more
speedily.
If the tests are not taken in
high school, or if a atudent fails
to pass one of the tests taken in
high school, they arc required to
come to Lincoln the Saturday be
fore registration and take the
tests under the supervision of the
university.
Prof. A. A. Reed, university ex
aminer and director of the exten
sion division, has charge of these
tests and is furnishing all mater
ials through his department.

There is a lot of adventure in the
editor's day's work sometimes.
For example, this incident at a
Southern coal mine where con
vict labor was then employed ex
clusively. A McGraw-Hill editor
had gone down the shaft to get a
story, to investigate some new
processes that were being used.
McGraw-Hill editors are not out
seeking thrills. Their job is to
cover the field, to know what is
'going on, to be where things are
happening, to see the right men,
to get the news, to study every
important development and trend.
They must be . . . they are . . . the
eyes and ears of the readers and
must brine to tnem tne ever-
changing picture of modern in
dustry and business.
That is why McGraw-Hill Publi
cations are so vital to the business
and industrial world today. That
is why they are playing such so
important part in the nation s in
dustrial development.
You who are about to step out
into industry should make it youi
business to learn what industry s
present leaders are doing a"0
thinking now.
You can do so by reading the
McGraw.Hill Publication in you'
chosen field. Copies of these
Publications are-or should
in your college library.
