IS T Students Urged to Complete Enrollment in Early Part of Week. Registration for the first semes ter of next year and for the sum mer session, to be conducted at the same time this year under a new plan adopted by the assignment committee, began Monday and will continue throughout the week. Indications were that little reg istration was done Monday in any of the colleges although no defi nite figures were available. Prof. A. R. Congdon, chairman of the assignment committee, estimated that not more than 125 students completed their registrations Mon day, which he said would mean a grsat rush toward the end of the week. He urged students to regis ter early In the week. Registration fees for next se mester will not be paid now, but must be in by Sept. 1 or a late registration fee of J3.00 will be assessed. Summer school fees may be paid at any time until June 11. Regular summer session registra tion will be conducted June 10 and 11 for students not in school at the present time. Students who are in school at the present time need not enroll for summer school now, but they are urged to do so in order to eliminate some of the changes in registration which occur as a re sult of the fact that often courses are taken in summer school which have been registered for for the next semester. The assignment committee felt that by conducting the registrations simultaneously, some of these changes could be done away with as students would be able to plan both courses at the same time. Credit books may be applied for at the registrar's office but iden tification cards must be presented. Students who desire to have all classes in the morning must file application blanks with a state ment of outside activities or work ing hours in the office of the dean of the college in which the students are registering. A university regu lation requires that at least two sevenths of the total number of hours carried must be carried in afternoon classes. Miss McGabey, registrar, de clared Monday, that on account of the large number of activities which would break up the latter part of the week, that students should complete their registration if possible on Tuesday or Wednes day. Many of the colleges will not be in session either Thursday or Friday, and professors and advis ers will probably not be in their offices. SOGAL DANCING CLASS PICNIC IS THURSDAY, MAY 5 The social dancing club picnic is to take place Thursday May ! at 4:30 in Belmont park. Audrey Cameron is the chairman of the committee for the picnic. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Y. W. C. A. or Audrey Cameron. The tickets are twenty-five cents and the members will meet at the armory. Presentation of the May Queen Differs Used to Present Her honor, the twe . ---first REGISTRATION SLOW MONDAY IN 1 COLLEGES of Nebraska Ivy Day ceremonies, will be crowned Thursday tnorninsr following traditional events incliidinp: the interl'ratern- ily King contest sponsored by Kosmet Klub, the daisy and ivy chain processionals and the triumphal processional of the Queen and her attendants. The first aueen who ascended O- her throne in 1912, was Miss Louise Barr, now Mrs. Lewis R. Anderson of Lincoln. She was elected at a coed mass meeting. The 1932 May Queen was elected by senior and junior women at an election held for that purpose some months ago. That Ivy Day was a different affair from those of to day, according to Mrs. Anderson. It was a very colorful affair, she herself being adorned in cream satin while she carried a staff topped with a sheaf of red and white roses, thus tarrying out the university color scheme. Instead of walking to her throne, she rode FRANKLIN OAVIS ASPHYXIATED IN HIS HI GARAGE Senior Bizad Student Found Dead Monday Morning By His Father.

The windows were broken from the inside, and shattered glass was scattered about the floor of the garage. A careful examination of the bodv. however, by Dr. Leonard J. Owens, failed to reveal any evidence of an attack. No bruises or abrasions on the body were found with the exception of a scratch on the left leg, apparently caused by glass. Davis and two of his fraternity brothers, David L. Sisco, a junior in the College of Business Admin istration, and George Zimmerman, a senior in the College of Business Administration, had been on a picnic early in the evening, it waa learned. About 11 o'clock Sunday night, Davis arrived at the Pi Kappa Phi house, of which frater nity he is a member, and left about midnight, presumably for home. Mr. Davis said he awakened about 2:30 Monday and noticed that the boy was not at home and that the garage doors were closed. He investigated and found the body in the car. He immediately summoned Dr. Owens who pro nounced the boy dead. At that time Davie had been dead about an hour, he estimated. Papers May Print Items of Sorority Projects for Social Welfare.
