Including medical students and nurses, the number of students was 6829, well over the expected 6500. The final fall semester total, however, will probably be slight ly larger with more than a week remaining for late registrations. This is still a drop of approxi mately 1200 students from last fall, representing a 15 decline. More than 12 of the total drop has been caused by a decrease in veteran students. Last fall 1937 veterans registered under the G.I. bill, while less than half that number, 944, have registered this year. Despite early Indications that the new freshman class would be slightly larger than last fall's, the sizes of the two groups are sim ilar. Last year there were 1314 freshmen., By Wednesday 1304 had registered for the coming 8 Prepared1 Is NU's Rally Committee By JANE RANDALL Feature Editor Rally, rally! Whoa! Is this the real deal or is It one of those last minute im pulses that someone thought up all by himself? If it is one of those Impulses hold it. Arally may look like a spon taneous affair to the observer. It's exactly the opposite. The crowds that assemble along with the pep gathering may look like someone said, "Come on let's have a rally!" Big idea sure but someone had to think It up at least a month ahead of time. Yes, that's the scoop straight from Don Devrles, 1951-52 yell king. According to Devrles, the red tape which the rally committee has to go through In order to schedule one of these school Jerry Jensen, Homer Kenison, Al Karle, Wayne Nicholas, Bill Gie senhagen.

Agnes Moorehead, Displays Same Charm Off Stage As On By CHARLES ROSSOW Staff Reporter A-a-gi-ee, as Charles Laughton would call Agnes Moorehead, real ly is as tremendous off stage as she is on. Before she left Lincoln yesterday, I htd a chance to see and talk to her twice. Immediately following her Der- fnrmflnrti anH nftr lAnHncr this I Coliseum, students wanting autographs. She signed almost everyone's program and didnt leave until Charles Laughton finally called for her. Considering that the Quartette hadn't slept in a bed for the last five days, this shows was a mag nanimous attitude she has toward her fans. Wednesday a press confer ence was held at 12:30 p.m., in her suite, but when I arrived the conference was over. Still she insisted that it would be all right to come in and chat with her. The thing which impressed me most was that she maintained the same vitality off stage as well as on. Miss Moorehead also expressed her interest in students and young people, as she feels that it is up to them to become the future lead ers in politics, education and drama. She stated very frankly that she was an idealist. That is one oi the reasons she and the other members of the Quartette ventured out on the form of theatre that they are presenting. Many people told them that the venture was not financially sound. However they felt that the people semester. Number of transfer students dropped approximately 65 from last fall. The figures are 633 last year and 566 this year. Totals for the present semester are not official. Until Oct. 6, when late registrations clone, they will probably change slightly. Last year's figures were compiled in November. IVCF Members Meet Tonight Inter-Varsity Christian Fellow ship will meet Thursday, Septem ber 27 at 7:30 p.m. in Room 315 of the Union.

Knowing well how uncomfort able the bleacher seats are, several financial geniuses grabbed the seat cushions being given away to all patrons. They took them up into the south bleachers and sold them at 25c each. One of the boys followed his buddies through the crowd selling his product for 10c of those who wouldn't come through with a quarter. When anyone asked him about the price difference, he as sumed a blank look on his face and said, "Gee, maybe I'd better check with the union." When asked about the sales men, the , union workers had a blank look on their faces, too. could learn much by this type of tour, and that it definitely has been a success. Miss Moorehead also stated that she thought working one's way through college is a great asset to any one. One should not feel bitter about his situation. She also felt that her failure had been her strength. She said with a snap of fingers, "I just said to myself, 'That's bad Aggie; the next one has got to be good.' " One question was raised about the fact that she usually played wicked roles and how she liked playing Donna Anna. To this she 'replied, that she liked the change but m Los Angeles many people believed that it just couldn't be Agnes Moorehead. Miss Moorehead plans to stay in contact with drama after as she puts it, "the audience doesn't want her." She will coach talented novices in drama. "She never sees her own pic tures for she is afraid that she will be too critical of herself. Besides, she commented, "It's much more fun to hear other people tell me about how well I did this, or I just loved that role." I told her that the audience ap preciated the way Laughton rear ranged the p. a. system and her cordiality. There here in the Mid west we get distorted views of actors on Broadway and in Holly wood was also the subject of one of my statements. "Some are distorted" was her reply. She also said that as a board member of the "oreen Actor's Guild, she has st ' many times that acting is a Jession. The actor should and li.ust, she said, perform a duty to his public. epsters Set For first Home QttlBi Attention pepsters!! The first home football game of the season will be Saturday, Sept. 29.

The Mortar Board society asked the law-makers for approval of and aid for their two projects set up thus far. A leadership conference, open to all students, was first on the senior women's proposed sched ule. Although the plans for this conference are in the formative stage, Mortar Boards are inter ested in perpetuating this lead ership conference on the University campus. Second proposal from the Black Masque women to the Council was an activities workshop. This workshop, as it is now planned, would include presidents of all campus activities. Line of thought to be followed and discussed in the workshop would include: importance of campus leaders, overlapping of organizations as to publicity, cal endars, leadership and purpose, the problem of interesting more Independent students in campus activities, the relation between faculty and students and the place of politics on the campus. Mortar Boards Sharon Fritz ler, Peggy Mulvaney and Miss Willey, presenting these plans to the Council, added that the University of Illinois and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have held these ac tivities workshops, usually on weekends. The Solons received the sug gestion that the workshop be held some Saturday and referred both Mortar Board proposals to the Student Activities committee.

This award consists of two large traveling trophies with the names of each organized house that wins and the year it is won by them.

Then two weeks in advance of the date when the big send-off is to take pluco, the rally committee holds a meeting by themselves to plan the route of the crowd and to agree on some novel idea around which to center things somewhat like a theme, but more generalized. The people who do this work are Jane Jackson, Jo O'Brien, Ira Epstein, Larry Anderson, George Hancock, Aaron Bohm'dt and Don DeVries. Underneath all this scurrying around they do, the yell lead ers have yet to work on rou tines and formations that they Intend to use during the noise and confusion. There are still more details, but this is enough to leave anyone out of breath even before he has to run to catch up with the rally crowd! i When the Brit- ish announced that they were eltring 400 parachutists for possible duty protecting Brit ish interests the Iranian army was mobilized. When special envoy W. Averill Harriman's peace mission to Teheran re sulted in deadlock, Iranian Prime Minister Mossadegh gave British oil experts until next Tuesday to get out of Iran or sign contracts with the government. This latest over ture from Teheran might be interpreted as a last ditch move before the fireworks.

He also added that the order was not intend ed to curb news coverage, and would not do so. Red Intentions talks were off again with hopes weakening that they would be resumed in the near future.

Till almanac By MARLIN BREE Staff Reporter A man who had dropped in at his favorite bar for a beer noticed an old fellow gulping down glass after glass of beer as fast as he could be served. He reached out with his free hand for the next glass while the first one was still at his lips. The onlooker watched in amazement, then tapped the old fellow on the shoulder. "Hey," he asked anxiously, "is that anyway to drink beer?" "Sure is," answered the old- timer with a chuckle. Can't do it any other way since my accident." "What accident?" "Brother," answered the old fel low as he blanched at the mere memory, "I once had a beer knocked over."
