News editor Tom Wood ward urged all students inter ested in reporting to fill out qualification blanks in the Ne braskan office, Student Union basement. No experience is necessary. Registration Increase Due To Vet Influx Floyd W. Hoover, director of registrations and records, an nounced today that the total en rollment is expected to reach 7,000 students by the end of reg istrations on October 3. Applications from new stu dents for admission to the uni versity are running about 16 per cent ahead of last year, re ported Hoover. He said that ap plications received to date as sure a larger freshman enroll ment than the 1,461 of Septem ber, 1952. "We attribute the increase largely to the G.I. veterans of the Korean conflict," stated Hoover. While this group does not compare with the 1946 in- flux of veterans, it is expected that within four years the total veteran population will be around 1,500 students. In 1948 the university had an all-time high of 10,250 students. However, the enrollment fell nearly 10 per cent each vear in 1949, 1,050, and 1951. In 1952 the decline stopped and leveled off at between 6,800 and 6,900. The 1949 to 1952 decline during the Korean War was relatively small in comparison to the 4,000 total enrollment figures during the World War II period. With the majority of the new Korean veterans coming in as freshmen, Hoover expects the total enrollment to remain nearly the same for the next four or five years. In Tomorrow's Nebraskan . . .

ROTC Cadets May Not Receive Reserve Army Commissions in '55 Number Of Officers To Depend Upon Service Needs university Army ROTC ca dets have been notified that all students graduating in 1955 that have taken the prescribed course may not receive their commissions. This announce ment was made by Col. James H. Workman following notifi cation by the army of policy changes. The probability is that aii graduates in 1955 cannot be used as officers on active duty at that time. The number to be commissioned and ordered to active duty will depend on the needs of the service, Army Re serve requirements, and the Welcome All Students The University of Nebraska is beginning its eighty-third academic year, and all of us who are members of the University family faculty and students hope it will be one of the finest years in Cornhusker history. During the past week 1 have had the opportunity to appear on the New Student program but not until now have I had a chance to say "Welcome Back" to upperclassmen. With us this year are a number of Korean veterans and I want to give a special welcome to these members of our family. We are proud to have you with us. Our experience with the veter ans of WorM War II taught us to expect better-than-average per formance for veterans. I am sure that all of you, whether new students, veterans, or returning upperclassmen, understand that the University family is a unit which recognizes the cquulity of membership in our com munity. Those of you who are on the campuB for the first time, I hope, will appreciate that. There are no "second-class" Corn huskcrs. JOHN K.

In a telegram from Washington Fri day morning the AFROTC de partment was instructed to "dis regard all instructions and in formation previously sent out." This means that these seniors who received letters stating "that if they did not enter the flight program they would be dis charged" may now continue in the program. The previous letter sent out listed the following informa tion: Budget limitations set bv the Congress of the United States have reduced the objective of the Air Force from 143 wings to 120 wings. The officer require ment associated with the re duced force is computed at ap proximately 30,000 less than that associated with the 143-wing structure. Thus since 85 per cent of the officers of the new force will be flying personnel, more flying officers are needed. "For these reasons," an nounced Maj. John B. Truell of the Air Science Department, it is necessary that those advanced Air Force ROTC students who are not medically qualified for flight training, or who will not commit themselves to same upon graduation, will be discharged from or not accepted to the ad vanced AFROTC program. This does not apply to certain se lected engineers and science majors." Some persons will receive a certificate of completion in lieu of a commission. It is requested that students report o Maj. John 3. Iruell for fuiifiJr details. Maj. Truell said, "These stu dents who are physically quali fied and willing to apply for flight training will undoubtedly receive commissions while those who don't go into flight traning may or may not receive commis sions depending on the need for officers in the Air Force pro gram. However, students would continue to be deferred and re main under the same salary con ditions as before." status of selective service at that time. Graduates not com missioned will be awarded cer tificates of capacity as second lieutenants. They will be sub ject to selective service call after graduation. Those commissioned may not receive their commission in the branch in which they received ROTC training. The policy is to make branch assignments in accordance with capabilities, training and preference, but the over-riding consideration is the need of the service. Graduates must therefore be prepared to accept appointment in any In Tonight's Fall Jackie Frost the Yell Squad took over the responsibility of design and per sonnel.

Workman emphasized that standards for advanced course selection have been raised and these standards must be conformed to. Definite quo tas for advanced course enroll ment are established. This quota stands at 175 for this year and will undoubtedly be filled. There have been no basic changes made in the NROTC program. Forty freshmen have been selected as regular mid shipmen for the 1953-54 session. Sixty more freshmen will be se lected as contract midshipmen. Selleck Discounts Inter-College Fight The new chancellor of the University should be broad minded both academically and business-wise, Acting Chancel lor John Selleck said Wednes day. Selleck said he would serve as acting chancellor anywhere from a month to a year, until the Board of Regents is ready to select a chancellor. At this time a five-member faculty committee is studying qualifications of candidates and presenting its results to the Board. THE ACTING chancellor gave his views concerning the contro versies involved in the selection of a new chancellor. He said f the controversy between liberal arts and Teachers College pro- fessors has probably been exag gerated by the press and that it should not be considered in the appointment of a chancellor. Selleck said letters from the Chambers of Commerce of sev eral Nebraska cities have said that, the new chancellor should be "conscious of private enter prise." He pointed out, how ever, that any special interest group would want a chancellor who was conscious of the wiuhes of that group. Wnen asked what his plans were as acting chancellor, Sel leek rtlied laughingly, "There NEBRASKA Nl eek Sc Look but resumed the Daily title in February 1946.

Previously published four,and five times a week during th school year, the University' newspaper now begins a Tues day, Wednesday and Friday publishing rchedule. A three-issue week, according to standards of the Associated Collegiate Press, does not qual ify a paper as a daily. The word "Daily" has there fore been removed from the flag and the masthead. The cut in the publishing schedule was ordered by the Committee on Student Publica tions in an effort to equalize expenditures of the paper with the income available from stu dent tuition and advertising. At the same time the Com mittee reduced the staff salaries and eliminated two paid posi tions from the editorial staff. The new publishing and salary schedules should save $3,348 a semester. THE DAILY Nebraskan, ac cording to W. C. Harper, treas urer of the student activities fund, lost approximately $6,300 last year $3,500 first semester and $2,800 second semester. The second semester loss occurred despite a cut in the publishing schedule, from five to four is suse a week, and reductions in staff salaries and positions. The economy measures saved ap proximately $2,938 for The Daily Nebraskan. The $6,300 deficit for the 1952-53 school year completely wiped out the student publica tions fund, accumulated during" the postwar years when the Uni versity's enrollment was fre quently around 10,000 students and when The Daily Nebraskan was a tabloid-sized paper. Since the paper grew to seven columns in 1950, The Daily Nebraskan has been un able to balance its expenditures with its income. licome for the paper consists of SI from each student se mester (paid from tuition) and of revenue from advertising. Major expenditures are for printing aid engraving, salaries and photography. LAST TEAR'S income, ac cording to Harper: Advertising and sub scriptions JM.lSfi.??'

The "loyalty oath" subject came up at a meeting of state chairmen, but the controversial issue was temporarily side tracked.
