Friday, November 6, 1942 DAILY NEBRASKAN High School Grads To Start Midyear . . . Says Rosenlof High school midyear graduates will be encouraged to begin their college work at the start of next semester, commented G. W. Ros enlof, director of admissions at UN, yesterday. It has been the policy of UN in the past to encourage incoming students to begin at midterm, and this year such students will be doubly urged to attend the univer sity in February, Mr. Rosenlof pointed out that the government wants students to get as much technical training as possible up to the time they are called for actual service. Students who be gin in February will be eligible for the various reserves offered at UN. Mr. Rosenlof is one of the 12 members of the advisory com mittee of the joint Army-Navy institute which meets in Chicago for two days every month. Rep resentatives from 12 U. S. colleges comprise this committee, which discusses questions pertaining to the needs of colleges in this crisis. Have Not Used Colleges. So far the government aas failed to use the colleges and their facilities in the war. However, universities are preparing to play 10 Pledge Kappa Phi; Entertained At Sister Banquet Pledeine preceded the annual Kappa Phi Big and Little Sister dinner, held Wednesday.

The UN regis trar believes that the army and navy will begin actually to train their men in colleges, and he Dointed out that UN will in all probability be one of the selected universities. There is a Dossibilitv that some form of the student army training corps which functioned during the last war win exist, unaer tnis nroeram the soldier students were housed, fed and clothed by the government. However, the uni versity will still be controlled by the administration as it is doubt ful whether the federal erovern- ment would take over state Insti tutions. Some influential men in Washington have hinted that the government would take over uni versities completely. Work out system. One of the functions of the com mittee in which Mr. Rosenlof is a member is to work out a system whereby soldiers who receive traininer in the armed forces in such subjects in physics, mathe matics and chemistry will receive credit when they return to the university after the war. He be lieves that most of the present undergraduates wno get in me conflict will come back from the war alive and will resume their studies for a vastly different world after the war. The registrar plans to release complete details on the function and discussions of the national committee next week in the Daily Nebraskan.

Inman, 'University of California anatomist, who maintains mat man's greatest mistake was learn ing to stand upright, Dr. D. D. Whitney, head of the Zoology de partment, yesterday said that his opinion was directly to the con trary. Dr. Inman stated that the hu man anatomy is very primitive since it does not have advanced, specialized structures such as the whale, dog and cat.
