Freshman Craniums Sport
Traditional Hnskcr Beanies
Like the pom-pom ort the Tas
sels' hat, the ice cream and choc
olate on the cribs in the Union,
the red beanie on the freshman
is an NU tradition.
All freshmen have worn bean
ies since way back when. Al
though in the days of the coon
skin coat, the caps were green,
a sign of the green freshman
there was the same spirit in the
wearing of the cap adorned with
the class numerals. As a sign of
school spirit and tradition, the
cap has always been the latest
thing in freshman fashion.
To be more blunt, freshmen are
just about required to wear them.
Only those with enough sales re
sistance and stamina to with
stand the salesmanship of the
Innocents and the pressure of
fraternity brothers can get along
without them.
Tradition also dictates that the
hats are worn until the freshman-sophomore
tug of war at the
Homecoming game. Then, if the
frosh are so short on muscle that
they can't out-tug the upper
classmen in this event, they are
doomed to wear the beanies until
the first snowfall.
Take heart, freshmen, at least
the beanies will keep your heads
warm on cold days.
Former Atom
Bomb Scientist
NU Director
A scientist who helped develop
the atom bomb is the new di
rector of the University depart
ment of physics.
He is Dr. Theodore P. Jorgen
sen. He succeeds Dr. Henry H.
Marvin who had headed the de
partment since 1922. Dr. Marvin
requested relief from his duties
as chairman to devote full time
to his research and teaching work.
In 1943 Dr. Jorgensen joined
the Manhattan project and went
eventually to Los Alamos, N. M.,
where he assisted in work on the
atomic bomb.
He returned to the University
in September, 1946, and since
then has been actively engaged
in research in the borderline field
between nuclear and gas conduc
tion physics. He recently was
awarded a $10,000 grant by the
Atomic Energy commission to
carry on this work. .

VA Announces
Delay in Gl
Subsistence
Several thousand ex-GIs attend
ing the University were warned
today to tighten their belts.
The warning came from Prof
J. P. Colbert, head of the Uni
versity's Veterans Consultation
board, who said he has been ad
vised by the Veterans Adminis
tration that the first subsistence
checks of the school year will be
six weeks late.
Address Changes Cause Delay
The regional VA office in Lin
coln said the delay is due mainly
to changes in address which ac
companies the start of a new
school year.
"Veterans who plan to enter
the University should make ar
rangements now to finance them
selves, and their families, until
the first subsistence checks ar
rive Oct. 31," Colbert said.
Three Forms Necessary
Prof. Colbert added that stu
dents who have not completed
their registration by Thursday,
Sept. 15, should report to his of
fice in Mechanic Arts 106 at once
to sign three necessary forms.
These are VA forms which:
(1) notify the veterans re-entrance
into training; (2) validate pay
ment of fees; (3) and authorize
purchases for such items as books.
The VA needs form No. 1 to
get the veterans correct address
for the mailing of subsistence
checks.
Two Students Top
Regent Scorers
Dorothy Joan Hyatt, Superior,
and Robert Viehmeyer, North
Platte, made the top scores in the
University of Nebraska Regents'
scholarship competition. Both had
identical scores.
Of the 2,532 students taking the
exams, 250 seniors won scholar
ships to the University. These
scholarships waive tuition and
certain other fees for the fresh
man year. 248 were alternate
winners and 230 won honorable
mention.
The medinn score was the high
est since 1945, Dr. G. W. Rosen
lof, director of admissions an
nounced. Superior can boast of high
achievement in these tests. Kath
erine Ann Boeisma, of Superior,
made high score last year and the
top alternate score for that year
was made by a Superior senior. In
1949 the top two alternate scores
were made by two Superior high
school students.
Confucius Says
"A young person should be
treated with the utmost respect.
How do you know that he will not,
some day, be fully equal of what
you are now? It is the man who
has reached the age of 40 or 50,
without ever having done any
thing to distinguish himself, who
is not worthy of respect."

EE BUILDING Shortage of bricklayers and stonecutters have
hampered work on the new Electrical Engineering building pictured
above. Work was begun in the latter part of June and according
to University officials, the building is a little behind schedule.
The first addition to the College of Engineering since 1904, this
new Electrical Engineering building marks the completion of the
1948 construction schedule. It is part of a ten construction program
sponsored by the University. It is being built on the site of Uni
versity hall, the first building on the Nebraska campus. Old "U"
hall was razed to make room for the EE building.

methods which proved successful
was the orientation class on reg

to attend this lecture before final
registration steps were compacted.
The orientation course, set up
by the University admissions de
