i u V 5 ... f M -1 PAGE 4 Chins Up Frosh, Only Seven More Registrations By Jerry Bailey Some two thousand freshmen got their introduction to the Uni versity in the past couple weeks, going through the registration mill. For them it was rugged; to the transfer students and late registering upperclassmen, it wasn't quite so bad. They went into the Coliseum with eager steps, bright eyes, he-ds up, chests . . . well, they v ore full of confidence. By the ti -c these hundreds of lambs cf."!C out of the other end of the tr ktration assembly-line, they v, : e weary, beaten pictures un c':: their bright red beanies. The f ;V"en were now reduced to hol?s in IBM cards. Met By Girls Tie prospective students were n- ; inside the Coliseum by girl cr i-'uctors. These took their prof feed appointment cards and con ducted the freshmen to the pro per advisor amid row on row of assembled Deans, professors, and assorted instructors. That didn't happen to all the freshmen, though. Some lacked the proper credentials and were sent the few steps across the way to the registrar's office. They had to be gin from the beginning. "You'd think that high schools would give them the P's and Q's of registering here!" mourned one etudent helper A good many freshmen were pardonably con fused. One high school graduate brought his diploma, just in case. Once seated with an advisor, the new student would find that all of his plans and schedules were In for a ruthless working over. "So you want to take Na tural Science?" his advisor would sneer. "And what if I don't want to give it to you?" The story would be "This section closed . that class full . . ." Getting In Next stop on the line for the freshmen, by this time clutching Tyouts Open For 2 Campus Choral Groups Tryouts for two University choral organizations, the Uni versity Singers and the Madrigal Singers, are continuing Friday and Saturday. Singers will hold tryouts from 9 a. m. to 12 noon and from 2 to 4 p. m. in Room 104, Music build ing. Madrigal Singers will try out from 4 to 5 p. m. Friday and from 10 a. m. to 12 noon Satur day, in Room 112, Music build ing. Three sections of chorus are open to University students. Try outs are not necessary for these organizations. Two sections of the general chorus are offered on city campus and one is of fered on Ag campus. Students may register in any section for one hour credit. Chorus rehearsals will begin immediately in preparation for the annual presentation of "The Messiah" by Handel in Decem ber. Both University Singers and the Madrigal Singers held try outs Thursday. According to Dr. Arthur Westbrook, director of the Singers, all students are eli gible for tryouts and member ship. Westbrook indicated that membership in the Singers group will total close to 100 members. The mixed Madrigal group is the most recent choral organiza tion on campus. The 16 singers will be selected for musicianship, adaptability and possibility of voice blend. The ensemble will perform literature beginning with the earliest Madrigal com positions to recent arrangements.

Here the student would have to prove that he had the right number to get in. The out side sign read "numbers over 2 thousand . . . numbers over 3 thousand . . ." By Wednesday it pleaded, "all numbers . . , any numbers." The guards at the doors re ported a good many dodges were used in attempts to get in ahead of time. These included such lines as, "I've got to get regis tered so I can go on my vaca tion" and "I just want to help a fraternity brother fill out his cards." Would the guards let a member of the fair sex past, with tears in her eyes and a gorgeous figure? "Well, we're only hu man . . ." All that was just to get a handful of class cards. Possibly the most painful step of all was that in the P. E. Build ing, where fees were paid. All they wanted here was a check for the full amount, and if it bounces, .

Physical Exam Somewhere along the line was Book by Ex-Teacher Draws Praise of Literary Figures Autographed copies of the new book, Every Day Was New, by a former University teacher, Dr. H. Clyde Filley, will go on sale Friday. Dr. Filley will personally auto graph all books purchased at the Prarie Book Store, 204 12 Street, between the hours of 2 and 4 p.m. today. Louise Pound, professor emeri tus of English wrote: "Every Day Was New is not, thank goodness, a dreary book of the type so much in the fore ground at present. Far from it. Its author knew what it was to work, to rely on himself, to help others, to like his relatives and colleagues, and the world about him We need more men like him." In a setting down of the "things that I have seen and a few that I have taken part in," Dr. Filley mirrors the development of the rural Midwest region of our country. Upon reading Dr. Filley's new est release, B. V. Holmes, Master, Nebraska State Grange, wrote, "Not only farm folks, but everyone whose parents or grand parents settled in the Great Plains States during the early years will enjoy reading Dr. Fi ley's book." "The book presents a delight ful record of the development of Nebraska from the time of early settlement to the present." So says Frank Miller, professer of agriculture economy, University of Missouri. The one-time farmer, legisla tor, teacher and author was born about ten miles from Beatrice. He attended the present Peru State Teachers College (only then it was called the Nebraska State Normal School," he relates) and completed work for a bachelor's degree at the University. He was later granted a master's degree by Nebraska and a doc tor's degree by the University of Minnesota. During these years of study he became well established as a teacher and a research worker in rural economics. University Instructor In 1900, he came to the Uni versity as an instructor in farm management. From 1919 until he retired in 1949, he was chairman of the department of rural eco nomics. In short, Every Day Was New is a tracing of the author's de velopment from farm boy to 705 No. 14 Rev. E. R. Stolz 17th f A s a & d 2225 Washiniton THE the physical exam. This included being tickled with a stethescope, having a chunk of wood shoved down the throat, being robbed of blood samples. (The little nurse must get a permanent pucker from sucking on the glass tube all day.) "Roll up your sleeve," it goes, "jump up and down," "now cough twice!" A nurse hands the victim a little glass bottle. "Now what do I do with this?" In the end one is stabbed with needles. When he revives from his faint he is handed a card and told, "Congratulations! You have just had your tetanus shot." Oh well, the nurses aren't so bad . . . At any point between the stops on this assembly line, the new student is approached by a Corn Cob selling magazines, a Tassel selling Cornhuskers, a brunette selling N books, or an All-University Fund member with a hand out. Somewhere the fresh man will be given a sheet illus trating the Regents Book Store's new painless method to buy books. one of the foremost farm econo mists in the country. In the course of his busy career in teaching and business, Dr. Fil ley has found time to write two other books Cooperation in Agriculture and The Wealth of the Nation. He is also author or co-author of about twenty experiment sta tion bulletins as well as several articles for agricultural publica tions. At the age of 71, he is now economist for the Union National Life Insurance Company of Lin coln.

Green of the Uni versity,. .College of Engineering and Architecture Friday. Dean Green cited a report pre pared by the American Society for Engineering Education and representatives of the industry which shows that the anticipated freshmen classes in the nation's engineering colleges in 1950 and 1951 will not fill predicted man power needs in 1954 and 1955. This fall about 225 freshmen will enroll in the University Col lege of Engineering, Dean Green said, which is just about the same as last year. During 1951, the college expects to graduate 350, which compared with 420 graduates in . 1950. "We are getting requests from many engineering and govern ment concerns for engineering and architectural graduates," Dean Green said. "We cannot be gin . to fill the demand and the manpower shortage looks worse in the next few years ahead un less more young men enroll in engineering." Dean Green said that a ma jority of University engineering graduates are taking jobs in Ne braska, partly because of the in creased amount of industry in the state. He said the college's graduates have been described by employers as "industrious, re sponsible and conservative."

Her duties consist of finding a suitable place to live for the women students. At present, there is one large dormitory, five other houses and several private homes on city campus equipped to house University women. On Ag college campus there are two large dormitories. Three cooperative houses are located on city campus. Resi dents of these halls are able to live at a low cost by doing all of the housework except cook ing. For those coeds entering Ag college, a similar residence plan is in effect -Alice Loomis hall is run much on the order of the cooperative houses on city cam pus. About 475 women live in so rority houses, and the remainder are housed near the campus or in rooms in Lincoln. All residence halls are under University su pervision, with University regu lations concerning hours and rules. The halls are under the direction of social directors whose staffs include trained women who promote a program of recreational, social, cultural and educational activities. The office of the assistant dean of women also supervises coed employment. BAPTIST STUDENT HOUSE Welcomes you to the Campus and Invites you to Worship . . .
