HEADING,
kitinc;
hix.istkation
Registration comes hut twice a
year, so take advantage while it's
here.
Remember, only two more shop
ping days for snap courses, so fin
ish weighing all the pros and cons
and get registered. Of course, you
could have gone to your advisor
at any time during the semester,
but he would probably have been
somewhere else, anyway. That, as
the editorial in yesterday's rag
pointed out, would have been the
logical procedure. It would also
have been an unprecedented pro
cedure and one that doubtless
would have given your advisor a
terrific mental shock.
The Millenium.
For a minute or two, let's imag
ine that a puzzled student goes
to his advisor for advice seven
weeks before registration!
The student look at the
number on the door twice to see
if it's the right one and enters.
The advisor's secretary takes
time out from her perusal of the
latest copy of Life or the morn
ing paper long enough to say:
"Go right in." (She thinks the
stude is one of the prof's pupils
who wants to make up a mid-semester
test.)
"Uh-hello, professor, whatcha
say er, I mean I want your
help."
"I mailed my community
chest donation in last month."
(coldly).
"No, this is different. I'm a
little puzzled about what to take
next semester. I kinda thought
I'd like your advice so I'd know
what it was all about."
"Miss hey, you, c'mere. The
prof, just fainted."
Bolt From the Blue.
The foregoing illustration is an
example of what might happen if
students suddenly started going to
their advisors in the middle of the
semester without giving two
weeks notice. This is an excellent
iden but would be apt to be quite
a strain upon your advisor's
nerves if you descended like a bolt
or nut-out of the blue.
Consequently, the host procedure
to follow would Ik to have your
roommate, write your advisor a
little note in advance warning him
of your future arrival. It should
go .something like this:
"Dear Prof. Arndt: (the name
is optional, of course) This is to
warn you that Sucha A Name
will come knocking on your door,
pushing opportunity aside, enter
and ask for advice on things
and stuff of an academic nature
two weeks from today. He is of
round mind and body and is
normal In every way except reg
istering. Please humor him.

Anton Nelson, 51, Plaster
Helper, Drops 40 Feet
To Death.
Construction of the student un
ion building took a toll of one life
yesterday when Anton Nelson, a
laborer on the university project,
was almost instantly killer alter
falling down a 40 foot elevator
shaft about 8:15 a. m. Nelson was
pushing a wheel barrow of plas
ter on the third floor when un
noticed he fell into the shaft
opening.
Workmen said that Nelson did
not cry out as he fell and that
the tragedy was not discovered
until his body was seen lying on
the shaft floor, about eight feet
lower than the basement ten or
fifteen minutes later. He may
have knocked his head on the
brick side of the shaft or the
steel plate and have been uncon
scious when he hit the bottom.
A saw horse had been placed in
the shaft opening to prevent Ac
cident but men woiking nearby be
lieved that it may have been re
moved the night Ik-fore when the
adjacent wall had been plastered.
Nelson died on the way to St.
Elizabeth hospital. Dr. N. E. Mil
ler said that he had a fracture nt
the base of his skull and injuries
to his neck and shoulders. The
fracture had probably caused
death.
