sounding out student sentiment in
regard to the proposal.
Walter Huber, ivy day orator
and president of Delta Sigma Rho,
was active in tne campaign to in
aueurate the program. Letters

Theta Sigma Phi Initiates
Mrs. Eberhard and Mrs
Weaver Monday,
Mrs. Mignon Good Eberhard
prominent Nebraska novelist, and
Mrs. Anna Dee Weaver, editor of
the Home Circle department of the
Nebraska Farmer were initiated us
honorary members of Theta Slgnm
Phi, honorary women's journalistic
sorority Monday evening. Eight
other girls were initiated as active
members. The Initiation was fol
lowed by a banquet at the Univer
sity club.
Mrs. Eberhard has gained con
siderable notoriety for her mystery
stories. Some of the best known
are "While the Patient Slept,'
"The Patient in Room 18, and
"The Mystery of Hunting's End."
She has recently returned from a
winter in Europe. Mrs. Weaver
was formerly in charge of a fea
ture of the University of Nebraska
radio program, on which she was
known as Mrs. True Homemakcr.

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.

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

torn play was suspected when
it was discovered that the three
side windows of the car were
smashed. 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.
