Associated Press Reports
Enrollment Drop in Nebraska
A survey taken by the Associ
ated Press discloses that the en
rollment in the Nebraska col
leges has taken a 12 per cent
nosedive.
The decline in enrollment is
blamed on the current national
situation and this country's mo
bilization of manpower, the
school official said.
After the second World war,
Uncle Sam exploded college en
rollments with the GI plan
whereby they were given a free
education in the higher institu
tions of learning. Now he is
swinging the pendulum the other
way.
College Check
A check of 17 Nebraska col
leges showed a total of 17.884
fulltime students this year. The
total last year was 20,330.
Creighton university 'dropped
its attendance from 2,829 to 2,541
in the past year. Their spokes
man said, "There simply are not
as many prospects around as
there were during the earlier
postwar years."
Vice-President G. W. Lindberg
of Doane college blamed his 47
enrollment drop on the follow
ing: 1. The induction into military
service of about 5 per cent of
Doane's freshman class.
2. The call up of about 3 per
cent of the upper class students
through the military reserve pro
gram. 3. The graduation of the larg
est "class in Doane's history last
Ag YMCA Hits
Rival Uni YM
In the battle of the Vs Wed
nesday night, the Ag YMCA
gridders defeated the University
YMCA, 15-0.
Floyd Lathrop scored the first
touchdown for the Ag Y team
in the first quarter. Denzil Clegg
added the extra point. Again in
the third quarter Lathrop
snagged a pass in the end zone
for the second Ag touchdown.
In the fourth quarter Clegg
broke through the Uni Y de
fense to catch the ball carrier
behind his goal line for a safety.
The losers were kept in check
throughout the whole contest
and never seriously threatened.
The win boosted the Ag Y's
record to two wins against a sin
gle loss, that a 2-0 setback at
the hands of Inter-Varsity.
Sig Alph Bees
Drop Sigma Nu
In a very closely played game
the Sigma Alpha Epsilon "B"
team defeated the Sigma Nu "B"
team 6-0 Wednesday afternoon.
Throughout the first half, tight
line play dominated the game.
Neither passer had a chance to
get set for a long pass and the
few short passes completed were
not enough to keep a sustained
drive going.
In the third quarter tne
team rallied enough drive to go
over for the game's only score.
The try for extra point failed.
- The fourth quarter was a repl
tition of the play in the first half
as neither team threatened to
score. A long punt by Sigma Nu
put SAE deep in their own terri
tory in the fourth quarter and
ended their hopes of another
touchdown.

Nebraska Enrollment
Here at the University of Ne
braska, the enrollment dropped
from 9,400 to 7,900. The Univer
sity spokesman pointed out that
the birth rate decline in the de
pression years of 1932 to 1936
has now caught up with the col
leges. The junior colleges seem to
have done the best job of hold
ing their enrollments. Fairbury

crease from 101 to 118 students.
TVipv rrfHitfrl the hoost to the
fact that it is a young cUege

The popularity of junior col- '

an explanation of an increase
from 170 to 175 students at Nor

"Even though the junior col
lege movement was slow to get
started in this state, it is now
moving along quite rapidly,"
commented Norfolk Dean Fred

Old Hazards,
Tests, Face
Students Again
Four weeks of school are gone
and in two more those old haz
ards of high school, six-weeks
tests, will be upon us.
Though many students are
convinced that tests are unfair
and uncalled for, most professors
are hard to convince.
Regardless of personal feelings,
though, tests, like tomorrow, will
always come. The thing to do is
to concentrate on a reason for
being caught 'unprepared.'
To avoid frustration and ob
scenity, here are some of the
stock excuses for failing various
tests that may be given.
Objective test: "It doesn't let
me express myself."
Essay test: "It's so vague. You
don't know what's expected."
Many small tests: "Why not a
few big ones? This keeps you on
edge all the time."
Few maior tests: "Too much
j depends on each 0ne."
No tests at all: "It's not fair;
how can he possibly judge what
we know?"
Sound Familiar
These sound familiar? Well, go
ahead and use them. There's no
patent on them yet.
Tests are not the only objec
tional part of a course. The value
of lectures, for instance, is quite
questionable. Detailed speeches
are no good, you forget it all in
And these discussion groups
tne students do all the
j tailing while the instructor Just
sits around doing nothing are
just about as bad as a lecturer
who talks the whole period.
Complaints
These and many other com
plaints are made about classes
and courses at our University.
So, if you feel like cutting a Phy
sics class, go ahead they will
probably just talk about familiar
principles, you've known about
since grade school. Either that,
or some silly thing you've never
heard of and can't hope to un
derstand. So go ahead cut classes, fall
tests, flunk courses. If you do,
just remember the common cry
of the students, "It's all the in
structor s fault; he doesn't run
THE
It Happened at NU
Two clothes-conscious fresh
men girls were overheard the
other day. It was a Wednesday
afternoon before the first Fresh
man know-how program. The
two girls were silent when a
member of the Mortar Board in
the familiar black suit walked
by.
"Say,' said one of them, "what
dc you think of that black suit?
That pocket is sort of cute, don't
you think?'
Well." replied her friend
"they're all right, but I wouldn't
want one; I ve seen six or 7 on
the campus today just like it."

Union to Hold
Talent Tryonts
Are you talented?
If you can do any act from hog
calling to ballet, the Union would
like to see you on Wednesday,
Oct. 11, in the ballroom.
Those students selected for the
Union talent show will have a
chance to make public appear
ances in the future.
The Union receiver requests
from various Lincoln and cam
pus groups for acts at their meet
ings. The tryout will be closed to the
public. A special talent show open
to the public will be presented
on Oct. 29. The show is co-sponsored
by the Red Cross College
Unit and the Union general en
tertainment committee.
Either group or individual acts
may enter. The first three win
ners will receive cash awards.
Entrants should sign up in the
Union activities office before Oct.
11. Information may be secured
by calling Anne Barger at 2-7742
or 3-6072.
Winners will be eligible for
booking with other groups. Num
erous calls have been received
from local groups such as the
Chamber of Commerce, Red
Cross, Veteran's hospital. Ortho
pedic hospital and campus groups
for dances.
Miss -Barger emphasized that
students in the program will
have a chance to be of service,
to spread fame and to make their
talent a paying proposition.
Music Service Tells
Top Campus Tunes
If your favorite popular song
is "Thinking of You," "Orange
Colored Sky" or "A Woman Likes
To Be Told," then you are right
in step with the majority of Uni
versity students.
These three tunes are tops in
the request-bracket according to
Lincoln program service. "Think
ing of You" by Andre Previn,
"Orange Colored Sky" by King
Cole and Stan Kenton and "A
Woman Likes To Be Told, by
Kay Starr constitute the type of
music most popular with college
students.
Of course, unusual arrange
ments like Gordon Jenkins'
'Manhattan Tower" are favor
ites, too. The requests for this
innovation in modern music
cannot all be filled.
Perhaps students don't under

Have you had your picture
taken? If you have yet to go
through this routine, here are a
few tips and hints about the
picture-taking process.
Picture for what? The Corn
husker pictures are what we are
talking about. From the last
week in September until the
first of December (until Dec. 1,
the studio hopes) University stu
dents will be trudging down 13th
to the Warner-Medlin photog
raphy studios in order to have
their pictures in the 1951 Corn-
husker,
There must be something rad-
ically different about having
one's face photographed for the
yearbook. The students seem to
be acting very hush-hush about
the whole affair. Nothing is seen
in the studio of the usual ex
citement and gaiety that is as
sociated with being photo
graphed. More Serious
Perhaps having every student
trying to look his or her best,
and realizing that all University
students will see this picture,
makes the business much more
serious than usual.
The student walks into the
main office of the studio. He
looks around, wondering what
he is supposed to do.
A lady at the desk motions
to the student and asks for his
appointment slip and from
fice and is kept open during the
hours previously given for rec
ord requests.
Muzac is the program that
makes up the fifth channel. This
is programed from New York
City and cannot be changed or
interfered with by the service
here in Lincoln. Muzac begins at
8:30 a.m. and goes off the air
at the same time as does the re
quest channel.
. Chooses Channels
The program service operates
on the basis of leased telephone
lines. These lines are run directly
into the subscriber's house. A
selector button is placed on the
radio for purpose of choosing one
of the five channels.
Regular disc jockeys employed
by the company operate the ser
vice during the day and students
fill these positions at night.
This form of service has been
in operation for the last 25
years.-The popular request pro
gram has gained its development
during the past 10 years.
Atom Bomb Drills . . .
In the current issue of Time
magazine it tells of School Su
perintendent Alexander Stoddard
of Los Angeles not wanting par
ents to become alarmed at any
wild tales their children might
tell of the new doings.
So he wrote a letter telling
each pupil's parents that from
now on atomic bombing drills
would be a regular part of the
1950-51 school program.
These- drills were worked out
to precision timing, but it was
hoped that they did not have to
be used.

which house on campus he
comes.
At this point, the student sinks
into a soft chair and begins to
fill out an information blank.
Just routine information. Just
the same, endless questions that
a University student answers on
the average of five times per
day for 36 weeks.
This questionnaire is handed
into the desk and the student
goes back to his easy-chair. Just
as he is sinking into the soft
cushion, he is notified that he is
to go into the dressing room and
j change into the specified blouse
or sweater that his house or or
ganization has chosen for the
picture.
Windy Trip
In he goes. Now that the stu
dent has gotten this far, he real
izes that his hair does need
combing. After spending a hec
tic 15 minutes at home getting
the locks properly arranged, the
windy trip downtown and the
speedy elevator ride have rather
disrupted the effect. So the stu
dent rearranges and comes out
of the dressing room slowly and
carefully so as not to spoil the
"new look."
Back to the sitting down and
waiting. There are a few maga
zines laying around and the stu
dent picks one up and begins to
ieaf through it disinterestedly.
The photographer opens a
studio door and calls a student's
name. Our student (we'll assume
from now on that we are fol
lowing a particular person
through the routine of picture
taking) goes to the door and
rather hesitantly enters the
studio.
The photographer indicates
where the student is to sit. In
stead of soft cushions, he now
has a small bench upon which
to rest. Winking and blinking
under the lights, the student
waits rather expectantly for fur
ther instructions.

Foreign Movie
Begins Tonight
"A richly humorous movie
that pokes savage and derisive
fun at humanity" is Life maga
zine's description of "Volpone",
French film to be shown by the
YMCA tonight and Saturday at
Love auditorium at 8:00.
The movie, based on Ben
Johnson's play, is the story of a
crafty old man who is out-swindled
by his clever servant.
This modernized version of an
old masterpiece has been adap
ted by Stephen Zweig and stars
Harry Baur and Louis Jouvet.
Bauer, who portrays Volpone,
"at once lovable and evil, silly
and profound", according to re
views in Time.
Admission price is 65 cents.
Season tickets for the 1950-51
foreign film series are available
at the University Y.M.C.A. in
the Temple building.

make his subject relax and feel
at ease. So the Warner-Medlin
photographer jokes with the stu
dent and tells him how to pose.
The next ten minutes are
spent with the following typical
conversation carried on.
Typical
"Turn to the right and lean
on your left arm. Yeah, that's
right."
"I never have taken very good
pictures. You see, I . . ."
"Would you mind turning your
head just a little more to the
right?".
"Like this?"
"Just a little more. There!
That's it."
"My but that light is bright!
I can hardly keep my eyes
open."
"How about smiling a bit? Oh,
can't you do better than that?
Ah! Still now. There!"
"May I go now?"
"Oh, no. We're not through
yet."
So we go through the same
process of posing and adjusting
again.
After 7 to 10 minutes the pho
tographer has taken a few pic
tures and is ready for another
student.
The students come out of the
studio smiling rather shyly at
the other students in the wait
ing room.
The proofs are mailed to the
students in about four days. Ap
pointments are made to have
the proofs returned and checked.
Now What?
The student leaves the studios
and from then on begins to
wonder just what his Cornhusk
er picture will look like.
Have we been of any help to
those of you who have yet to go
through the enchanting experi
ence of being photographed?
