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.

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

The probability is that aii
graduates in 1955 cannot be

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

"College lives" were literally
saved for over 100 Senior
AFROTC students Friday. 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

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

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

Change Made
To Equalize
Income, Cost
The Daily Nebraskan is now
The Nebraskan.
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.
