Rush Plans Start
HE WAS RIGHT
"I do the best I know
how, the very best I can. I
mean to keep on doing this,
down to the verv end. If the
end brings me out all
wrong, then ten angels
swearing I had been right
would make no difference.
If the end brings me ont
all right, then what is said
against me now will not

This semester's registration
went very smoothy. Accord
ing to Registrar Floyd
Hoover, and Mrs. Irma Laase,
assistant registrar.
They attribute this ease to
the plan w hich w as w orked out
to allow the students as much
time as possible to pay his
fees. As a result, no student
had to spend the full 30 min
utes to pay his own fees.

has established a Nebraska

Triangle was founded in the
fall of 1906 at the University
of Illinois by 16 members.
The second chapter was es

Triangle Fraternity is
unique in the National Inter
fraternity Conference in that
it selects its members from
those students who are ma
joring in engineering, archi
tecture, chemistry, physics
and mathematics.
The colony members are
making plans for housing,
participating in their first!
rush week on the University
campus, and their first social
event.
The Nebraska Colony is
sponsoring the selection of
the "National Calendar Girl
of Triangle Fraternity." Each
sorority on the Nebraska cam
pus was invited to nominate
two of its members for this
selection. Sunday a tea was
held to interview the 13 fi

By TOM KOTOUC
Over 70,000 international
students study in United
States' colleges and Univer
sities each year. Most of
these 70,000 return to their
own nations to become lead
ers of their countries.
But the impressions that
they carry back with them of
the United States, and its citi
zens are many times unfa
vorable.
One former overseas stu
dent at the University of Kan
sas wrote KU Chancellor
Clarke Wescoe last spring
that "of every 10 students
that go back to their coun
try, nine carry ill feelings to
ward the American people.
"You can notice that they
live in cliques while they
stay here. I was sorry to find
that the great majority of stu
dents at KU don t give a
damn for these people and
do not know, nor do they
want to. know their prob
lems."
Chancellor Wescoe received
another letter from an inter
national student who had;
been exposed to American
life through living in a KU
fraternity house:
I mean it when I sav that

substituted other classes.
Another benefit of early
registration was that the in
structors knew how many stu
dents were going to be ia
their classes before the first
class session was held.
Out of 6.400 early registra
tions only 200 were cancelled
because they did not pay their
fees on time. The majority
of these students were back
in school on Monday. If they

of their lees.
Although "registration "was
not 100 effective it has been
pointed out by many of the
people working on registra
tion that they had never seen
the students so considerate
and easy to work with.
Students were very cooper
stive because they realized
that the system for paying
fees had been established for
their own good, said Dr.
Hoover.
Several University students
said that tbey felt the new
system ef paying fees was
very- effective. Less time
was required ta complete the
registration forms and the
student could choose the time
he wanted fa pay his fees.
These students weren't the
only people who felt that the
new , system was , effective;
several University instructors
also felt the same way. They
said that the new system was
a vast improvement over the'
previous system in that the
departments and the individ
ual instructors knew sooner
how many students were go
ing to be enrolled in their
courses.
