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.
The new exhibit is shown on
the museum guided tours held
each Sunday at 2:30 and 4:30
p. m. During Museum Month
sound films of natural history
subject will be shown at 3 and
4 p. m. Today's film is the Pa
cific volcano "Krakatoa."

Sledge Appears
For Engineers'
Dinner Thursday
BY MARTHELLA HOLCOMB.
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. The Sigma
Tau award to the outstanding
senior in the college has been
awarded Charles D. Lantz, and
the W. H. Sawyer scholarship to
the outstanding electrical engineer
went to Simon Delisi. Edwin J.
Busch has received the O. J. Fee
award for high academic achieve
ment. Keys to Blueprint staff mem
bers will also be presented.
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

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.

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.
