No Sections to Be Completed
Until After Middle
' of Week.
One of the heaviest first-day
registrations in the university's
history was made by students
Monday when an estimated
number of 600 filed for their
second semester classes, according
to A. R. Congdon of the assign
ment committee.
"Registrations were especially
heavy Monday morning," Mr.
Congdon stated, "and I believe it
is the largest number that have
ever registered during the first
half day. The heavy run also con
tinued thruout the afternoon."
No Exact Number.
The exact number of students
completing their filings was not
reported, the committee chairman
pointed out, as the secretaries in
the various colleges were so busy
that they were unable to make
complete checkups during the aft
ernoon. Reports from the dean's offices
of the various colleges were that
first day registrations were much
greater than in former years.
Many filings were reported in the
Arts and Science, Teachers and
Business Administration colleges.
It is believed no class sections
will have to be closed until after
the middle of the week. Students
wishing to register for certain
classes should do so during today

Hicks Asserts Government
Can Pay Money to Farmers
Through the "general welfare" clause of the roust itution,
the federal government can expend its money to aid agricul
ture, even though it cannot regulate it, thinks Prof. Clifford M.
Ilieks, bizad college faculty member. The only restriction
will be to refrain from levying a tax exclusively upon the com
modity or field to which the aldsO
or bounties are offered.
To get around the recent AAA
decision. Professor Hicks believes
production control in agriculture
might be set up in the following
manner: 1. "A federal law would
be enacted providing for the pay
ment of grants on stipulated con
ditions to cooperative associations
of producers, or to state bureaus
of production control. If such were
the corporation laws,' and such
amendments as may be required
to legalize control agreements.
Should Meet Demand.

take for their purposes the gather
ing of agricultural statistics, fos
tering production at a volume
which the demand can absorb, and
fostering soil erosion and crop ro
tation practices. Fostering the

Nebraska Always Ahead.
Specializing in a web-tight de
fense headed by Lew Young and
Stan Christensen, the Wyoming
outfit was kept too busy batting
down Nebraska's passes to do any
racetrack scoring of its own.
Coach Browne's pupils led the pa
rade from the starting signal to
the last, quite a different proced
ure from the four-period overtime
conflict earlier in the season, in
which the Huskers bare'y managd
to nudge out a 46 to 42 victory.
But while the Brownemen were
never forced to manufacture a
scoring spree and come from be
hind, they were never, after the
first few minutes, any too com
fortable in their position of advan
tage. Firing in 10 points in the last
five minutes, the Cowboys emerg
ed from a 14 to 5 underdog posi
tion to an 18 to 13 contending
booth at the half. And during the
entire final period, the Huskers
were never able to relax, for the
Cowboys were never more than 8
points behind until Harvey Wid

before the concluding bark.

wait for a split-second opening
and then dart thru with uncanny
rapidity.
And while some of the Nebras

quicker than the eye to the fans,
the Cowboys evidently saw them
coming a mile back, for they
