MISS OPAL WRIGHT OF Graduate Succumbs Sunday; Was Active in Players' Circles. Miss Opal Wright, '2!. former student of the University of Ne braska, died early Sunday morning from an unusual case of spinal meningitis at her home In Ken- nard. Neb. Miss Wright had been suffering for the past week and a half from the attack and had been unconscious several days before her death. Prominent In university circles, she was president of Alpha Delta Tbeta, social sorority, a member of the Tassels, University Players for two years, Dramatic Honorary so ciety, and of the National Colle giate Players. Miss Wright was graduated from Teachers' college in 1929 and for the past year nad been teaching in Mapleton high school, Iowa. Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 3 o'clock in Ken- nard. DECREASE OF 300 IN ENROLLMENT IS SHOWN BY REPORT Registration so far this year has dropped approximately 300 behind last year's figures for the same period, according to latest Infor mation from the registrar's office. Totals from the medical college at Omaha and from the agricultural college campus revealed a total which falls 282 short of the num ber recorded last fall during the same period. Registration from tne graduate college will probably swell the final number and equal last year's total, however, officials in the graduate college stated. Last year graduate students registered at the same time as did other students. This year, very few of the gradu ates have registered, as the time limit for the graduate college reg istration was shifted to Oct. 4. At the medical college, 329 had registered at noon Saturday, as compared with 317 last year. The total university registration Satur day noon was 5,261, as compared with 5,543 for last fall. The late graduate enrollment will probably make up most of this difference, officials believed. HOLD FIRST MEETING Rushing Complaints Head Calendar for Discussion Tcnirjht.

QUARTET TRYOUT IS T Professor Raysor New Chairman of English Department, Has Won Many Distinctions and Published Books as By BOYD VON SEGGERN. Succeding Dean L. A- Sherman chairman or the Engnsn de partment Professor T. M. Raysor has taken up his duties as a new member of the university faculty. Until a year ago his position bad been held, for over a generation, by Dean Sherman. During the past year the department was con trolled by a commiuee composea of Professor L. B. Gass as chair man and Professors R. D. Scott and Louise Pound. Taking charge of a graduate class which is studying poets of the Romantic movement and in structing in a course of Shake spearean plays, Professor Raysor began his work at the University of Nebraska this fall. Comes From Washington. Information filed at the office of Dean Hicks of the college of Arts and Sciences reveals the ex perience of Professor Raysor. He has for the pwet number of years been professor of English at Wash ington State college. Other institutions at which be has taught are Allen academy at Bryan, Texas; A. and M. college, Texas and the University of Min nesota where be was assistant pro fessor of English. An unusual accumulation of dis tinctive honors have coma down upon the shoulders of this new member in the English department Securing highest honors in Eng lish at Harvard, Professor Raysor became a member of Phi Beta Kappa, secured the Kirkland and Weld scholarships, i.nd won the Sheldon fellowship. He received his A. B. degree at Harvard in 1917 and his roastets degree at Har vard university In 1920. He ob tained his Ph. D. degree in 1922. In 192S be won the Guggenheim fellowship.

Several Male Groups Will Be Used Over KFAB States Dirks. Tryouts for male radio quartets will be continued at KFAB studios in the Cornhusker hotel at 7 o'clock tonight according to Diet rich Dirks, '24, manager of the station. Many excellent voices were discovered in the tryouts held last Wednesday, Dirks reported, but results on the whole were not quite satisfactory, due to the small number that were heard. Several good quartets composed of university men, to be used on KFAB programs, and on trips over the state, is the ultimate aim of the studio officials. Dirks said. "We hope to have four or five quartets, each group singing simi lar collections of songs, so that we may combine the voices and have a men's chorus of sixteen voices. The groups will give local pro grams, as well as do radio work and make several trips." The tryouts are conducted in the same manner as for regular glee club or quartet applicants, except that the men are asked to sing through a microphone. The voices are Judged for tonal quality from a loudspeaker in a nearby room. Dirks asked that all university men wishing to try out for places in the quartets call the studio' to day so that be might know how many to expect for the auditions scheduled for 7 o'clock tonight. He also wishes all men who were heard last week to appear tonight in order to try some new music. It is believed, according to Dirks, that the new radio chorus will take the place of the discon tinued university glee club. The latter venture was abandoned when officials could not secure ap propriations for expenses, and stu dent members were being forced to stand a part of the trip deficits. HISTORICAL GROUP EDITS VOLUME ON VARIED SUBJECTS The Nebraska State Historical society has Just completed Volume XXI of its regular bound series, the last of which appeared in 1922. The book was edited by Addison E. Sheldon who is super intendent and historian of the so ciety. An account has been written by N. C. Abbott who is president of the society about the origin of the name Lincoln with various his tories of places which bear that name. Much has been written about the various Indian tribes of Nebraska but the most complete report ap pears of the Otoe tribe by Major Green of Beatrice. Major Green was Indian agent to the tribe in 1860. The first official report of this tribe was made by Lewis and Clark on their trip up the Mis souri river. A map drawn by Lieutenant Woodbury of the Grand Island re gion in the year 1847 is shown in the back of the book. The society had to send to Washington, D. C for this and thus it appears In print for the first time. The Nebraska History majrazine has expanded from a thin pamphlet or tmrty-two pages to an average quarterly book of nearly one hun dred pages. This volume which is Just off the press will be mailed to all members of the society next week. G4MPUS CALENDAR The return of the Awgwan. closer contact between ths publi cation board and student editors, and a new method of selecting ths ! Nebraakan and Cornhusker staffs. is advocated by Dr. C H. Old father, newly appointed member of the student publication beard. Dr. Oldfather will succeed Dr. R. J. Twul liu served fur a yeat aj tem porary member of the board, fol lowing the death of Dean Carl C Engberg. a year ago. Dr. Oldfather. mho acts with James Lawrence. Lirector Gyl C. Walker, and Prof. H. E. Brad ford In the faculty supervision of student publications believes that more responsibility in staff selec tions should rest with the editor than does at the present time. Would Appoint Editor. "It seems entirely logical to me." stated Dr. Oldfather. "that the publication board should ap point only the new editor who should be allowed to select his own staff, subject to our approval. In such a case the responsibility for an efficient paper would rest with the editor. In case the editor hap pens to be a rank partisan who se lects his aides entirely from his own political camp or fraternal stronghold, he alone will be the one to suffer. And in case he car ried his political plumming to ex tremes there would no doubt be a way of removing him and his en tire staff." The contents of the student newspaper should be left entirely to the discretion of the editor. Dr. Oldfather believes. If the editor sees fit to criticize members of ths faculty, or student organizations that criticism should be duly wel comed by everyone interested in the university as a whole. "Of course," Oldfather stated, "the edi tor should leave his columns open to replies to his criticisms. If he is not willing to do that he is not a good editor." Warns Against Sensationalism. "I do not believe," remarked Dr. , Oldfather, "that a student newspa per, such as The Nebraskan for in stance, should degenerate into a rank bulletin of sensationalism un der the guise of freedom of press. I merely believe that a college edi tor has the full right to adminis ter criticism where criticism is due, provided he allows the criti cized or their sympathizers to re ply to his accusations." "In the' selection of an editor I firmly feel that it is the duty of a publication board to select a man of ability, experience, and in tegrity," said Dr. Oldfather. "The election of a young r""n with an insurance agent's handclasp and a jewelry salesman's grin should never be permitted as I see it" Favors No Interference. The faculty should stand aloof from interference with the campus (Continued on Page 2.) R. 0. T: C. CADETS TO TAKE PHYSICAL EXAM Tuesday, Sept 23. Vespers, Ellen Smith hall. 4 p. m.
