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

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.

have to prove that he had the

pleaded, "all numbers . . , any

The guards at the doors re

used in attempts to get in ahead
of time. These included such
lines as, "I've got to get regis

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

get a handful of class cards.

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

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
DAILY NEBRASKAN
Shortage Seen
Of Graduates
In Engineering
A serious shortage of engin
eering graduates in Nebraska
and the nation is expected dur
ing the next few years, reported
uean.Hov M. 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."

Miss Helen A. Snyder, new as
sistant dean of women, is mak
ing plans for supervised housing.
She is taking the place of Miss
Elsie Ford Piper who resigned
last spring.
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.
