BURNETT PLANS CHANGES Chancellor Says Two Days Will Be Allotted Next Year. Approaching pre-depression figures, total registration at the end of the first week soared to 4,551, eclipsing last year's total of 3,985 students by 566, university officials revealed Sat urday morning. In order to accommodate the crowds of students who tried to register during the original one day period set aside for registra tion, officials in charge of regis tration found it necessary to ex tend the deadline for registering two days from September 19 to September 21. Opening of classes which was scheduled for Thursday was post poned until Friday when it be came known that a large number of students had found it impossible to register during the specified time. No Delay Next Year. Delay in registration encoun tered during the past week's regis tration at the university will not be repeated if plans of Chancellor EX A. Burnett are completed. An Increase In freshman enrollment ment together with a scheduled one-day period of registration are the causes attributed to the con gestion that kept hundreds of stu dents waiting for many hours. In the future, according to the Chan cellor, two days will be allowed for registration instead of the one day tried this year. The assignment committee. which was the principal cause of the congestion, will be enlarged so tbat its work may be handled without undue delay. It is also probable, according to the Chan cellor, that arrangements will be made whereby the assignment committee may start work earlier than it did this year. No delays were encountered in the work "of the advisers or the payment of fees. Last Day Figures Low. Friday, the last day of registra ( Continued on page 2.) Penny Savings Pay Tuition of Thrifty Omahan Pennies, 3,600 of them; Vincent Kelley of Omaha is shown giving them to Emmett Gillaspie, assist' ant finance secretary at the uni verslty. But Mr. Gillaspie said Kelley would need only 2,9000 of them to pay for bis registration, so the thrifty freshman gets to keep seven dollars worth. He is shown here with Gillaspie and Vel- ma Chandler, bis assistant. Seven years ago Kelley start ed out to save Indian head pennies. Near 40th and Farnam streets In Omaha, he and Lis brother, Floyd, ran an ice cream stand, and each day sorted out the one-centers. A year ago they decided to keep all their penny receipts for Vincent's tuition. Last week the brothers divided 300 Indian head pennies from the rest, and Vincent came to Lincoln with 3.60023 pounds (36.00. The Sig Ep fraternity house, where Kelley is a pledge, joined in to help wrap them in packages of 50 each. Tbey packed them into a strongbox, and that is the way they arrived this morning; at the coliseum. Doorkeepers let them dash through the registration lines when they said tbey were bank messengers. But when fees were counted k would only cost Kelley $29 one dollar for registration, two dollars for medical service, rive aoiiars for matriculation, and 21 dollars for general fees. The 2,900 pen nies have made him a freshman at the university, studying pre law. Next year his brother. Floyd, will also enroll in the university.

More caps, however, will ar rive the first of the week, he stated, and every freshman will be able to get his cap before Freshman initiation, which is to be held on Thursday. Sept. 27. "The spirit being displayed by freshmen this year is better man in several years, ' Kosman de clared.

Sicap Shop Becomes A Well Established Student Institution Another student activity, one of the many which are a part of the Y. W. C. A., is becoming an estab lished Institution on the university campus, although this is but the second year of its existence. It is the cozy nook just beside the stairs in the Temple building, the Swap Shop. The name is a bit deceiving, for the books aren't actually swapped. Instead of this, students leave their texts there to be sold. The attrac tive feature, however, is that the owner may set his own price for the books he wishes to sell. The books, in turn, sre sold for cash to other students. Up to this time, a total of over 700 persons have deposited books to be sold, and although no defi nite check has been made, a great number of them which are to be used this semester have been sold. The system is one which provides students with books for the least possible money and which gains as much as possible for those selling their old texts. At present, however, demands for books outnumber the supply. There is a special need for books which are In use the first semes ter, and r.U students are urged to bring in their used books. Theodora Lohrman is in charge of the shop, with the following members of the Y. W. C. A. as as sistants: Doris Cochran, Betty Beck, Betty Barrows, Dorothy De Kay. Faith Arnold. Lilette Jacques, Corinne Claflin. Grace Lewis. Elea nor Neale, and Dorothy Bentz. Checks for the books sold may be called for at the activities office in the coliseum at the end of Sep tember.
