Museum Month Features Rare Deer Skeleton Museum Month at the univer sity's state museum now fea tures the display of a rare type of deer which roamed the North American continent 25,000 years ago. According to Dr. C. Bertrand Schultz, museum director, the new animal is the only one of its kind found in the United States which has been displayed and mounted. A similar deer, found in Mexico, is on display at the California Institute of Tech nology. New Mexican Find. The skeletal remains of the pre historic deer were found by a university field party in a un explored Carlsbad cavern in New Mexico. In search of remains of early man which the museum was seeking to link with remains found in Nebraska, the party ac cidentally discovered the deer skeleton. The cave, discovered by a Carls bad museum staff member, R. M. P. Burnett, was hollowed out of limestone by underground rivers millions of years ago and was used as a retreat by the ani mals. Related to the elk family, the deer on display, however, is somewhat similar in size to the present White Tailed and Mule deer.

Let the chips and splinters fall where they may . . . Sledge is ar riving Thursday night. To the uninitiated (those who have matriculated during the war years) Sledge is the great-grand-daddy of all senior class prophe cies, and is dreamed up by a committee of sadistically minded engineers for the mutual discom fort of all brave students of the Big E college. Excuse for the appearance of this blackmail sheet is the en gineers' banquet, held traditional ly as part of Engineers Week, and this year postponed till Thursday, May 16, at 6:30 p. m. in the Union ballroom. Dean Roy M. Green has an nounced that three special awards, given, during the year, will be presented that evening.

Significant Traces of Indian Culture Found in Scottsbluff A mass grave filled with hu man skeletons found two weeks ago on a Scotts Bluff county farm was described Monday as a "high ly significant" contribution to knowledge of an Indian culture which existed in Nebraska 700 to 1,000 years ago. Existence of this Indian tribe, known as the "Woodland Cul ture," was previously known but the Scotts Bluff discovery was the first human skeletal remains of the culture found in western Ne braska, according to John L. Champe, director of the Anthro pology laboratory. "The discovery is particularly important since these human skel etons show us what the people who had the woodland culture actually looked like," Mr. Champe said. "The artifacts such as pot tery and worked stone and bone also supply valuable information on how they lived." The western discovery appears to have been linked with previous finds in eastern Nebraska by two artifacts found in the grave. One is a small canoe-sbaped stone i tf ISussian SveIrliMilel),l, AWS Prexy Lists Exam Week Rules Rules for all organized women's houses to follow during exam week were announced Monday by Mimi Ann Johnson, president of AWS.

Nation' Observes Citizenship Day Sunday, May 19 In accordance with a congres sional resolution acted upon May 3, 1940, President Harry S. Tru man has proclaimed May 19 for national observance of "I Am An American Day," Richard Sinsel, Vets organization publicity head announced today. 'I Am An American Day" was the outgrowth of an idea created by the citizens of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, who felt a day should be set aside to observe national citizenship, Sinsel continued. The Lincoln Chamber of Com merce will sponsor the services this year to be held in the St. Paul's Methodist church. about three inches long, termed a "boarstone," and the other a particular type of arrowhead, both of which were peculiar to this Indian culture. These Indians were replaced shortly after 1300 by the "Upper Republican" Indians in the west ern part of the state and the "Nebraska Culture" Indians in the eastern part, both of whom were farmers living in permanent earth lodge villages. A workman levelling offa knoll on an erosion control project on the James Lane farm six miles southeast of Gering, accidentally uncovered the mass grave on April 29, according to Marvin Kivett, archeologist, who visited the site soon after its discovery was re ported to the university by T. L. Green of Scottsbluff, director of the State Historical society. Some of the skeletons were damaged by the scraper blade which removed the top of the grave, but a total of 33 individual burials were identifiable. The site was plowed for about 40 years without uncovering any evidence of the large burial, Mr. Lane said. In a statement to the Daily Nebraskan yesterday,' Dr G. W. Gray, associate professor of history, called for an under standing of the Russian system on the part of "this univer sity generation" and cited tomorrow's All-University Forum as an effective means to "start thinking about the problem." Fall Section Lists Show any Full With almost 150 class sections closed for fall terms, less than half the students have finished their registerations, George W. Rosen lof, registrar, announced yester day. Monday noon, completed regis trations totaled 7,323, less than 50 percent of the 5,992 students included in this year's student body. Even discounting the 500 students on the Omaha campus and the 400 graduating seniors, the figure still reflects a laxity on the part of students, according to Rosenlof. Early registration for the remaining 2,000 students must be finished this "week. "Registration now is the surest guarantee of getting into classes next fall at Nebraska, or any where else," Rosenlof said. "If the student registers now, he is guar anteed a place at school next fall. His chances for a balanced pro gram, classes at the best hours and for advoiding additional fees next fall are best if he completes his registration early." Final registration totals for next fall are expected to top 7,500, with the registrar's office already turning down many applicants. Monday noon 1,250 registrations for summer school had been proc essed, which means, according to Rosenlof, a total of 3,000 at least for the summer term, and possibly 3,600 enrolled. Five re-opened class sections for the fall term were announced Monday by Harold E. Wise of the assignment committee, as Eco nomics 103, Section II, Economics 107; Education 61, Section I: and English 21, Sections IX and X.

(See SECTIONS, page 4.) Veterans COMPLETION OF SUMMER REGISTRATION. All veterans who have reg istered for the summer session must report to the coliseum on Friday, May 31. or Saturday forenoon, June 1, or on Mon day, June 3, in order to have their registrations validated by the university comptroller. Each veteran will call for bis envelope and take it person ally to the comptroller's cage after the fees have been com puted. No registration is com pleted until this is done. REQUISITIONS. No requisitions for the cur rent second semester now end ing will be issued or honored after May 15. All yellow copies of requisitions which are now outstanding and still in the hands of individual veterans must be turned in to the Regents bookstore in the Temple by May 21. Dr. Gray, who will take part in the panel of the Y.M.-Y.W. spon sored forum, said: "At the present time there is only one state in the world which is able, physically, to carry on war against the United States with any prospect of suc cess and that state is Russia. To day," he continued, "America fears Russia, and Russia fears America fears and distrusts America. "Regardless of whether our rela tion with Russia today is a tem porary armistice devoted to pre paring for a future war or an im mediate war, or whether it is a sincere effort to produce world peace, we Americans must try to find the reasons for the fears and feelings between Russia and Am erica. We must learn the exact nature of the Russian system, and grasp every possible opportunity for peace, but yet realize the price of that peace. These are among the most important things that Amer icans can do." "The All-University Forum," Dr. Gray concluded, "should form a means by which this university generation can start thinking about this problem. And it's the university people of this genera tion who will have to answer this problem.' The student participants of the panel are Gerry McKinsey, mod erator; Gladys Jackson, speaking on the economics of Russia; Phyl lis Warren, minority groups, re ligion, education; Don Meaders, the Russian people; Elmer Sprague, present government; and Bob Gillan, Russian foreign pol icy. Dr. Gray will sketch the his torical background of the present situation. The panel will be presented at 7 p. m. Wednesday in the Fac ulty lounge followed by a social hour and refreshments, according to Pat Lahr.
