nmaber of critical world j.c...
wo; thy project will receive the support of the university
faculty.
One way to find a solution to world problems is for
representatives of organized groups to come together to
study thepe matters from many points of view. As a result
of such study should come recommendations and programs
of action. .
The nations of the world are coming to recognize that
they are now a part of the world community. Learning to
i;,. trailer in understanding and in peace presents many
of the problems which will no doubt receive the attention of
4v, nrvon TVrhans the students at the University of
Nebraska will be able to suggest the solution to some of
these critical problems that must be solved if world peace
is to be achieved.
As students you have great responsibilities. The leaders
of tomorrow will be chosen from your group.

Near 9,200
Second semester enrollment at
the University is expected to total
about 9 200, according to Dr. G.
W. Roseniof, director of admis
sions. A total of 8,750 had completed
registration Wednesday. This does
not include a number of late reg
istrants in the undergraduate col

The University graduated 532

replaced by over 500 new stu
dents who enrolled in the univer
sity for the second semester.
