Advisers to Meet Underclassmen Before Enrollment
"A pre-enrollment advising period will be held on Oct. 16, 17, 18 and 19, during which all freshmen and sophomores in the College will be required to meet with their advisers". Prof. Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, has announced.
The purpose of this advising period is to aid students in planning their schedules for the winter semester. No grades will have been turned in at that time. The conferences will be devoted to filling out cards which the students may take with them enrollment day to speed up the process scheduled for one day, Wednesday, Nov. 1. It is advisable for each student to select second choices in case a particular class may be closed. Unless their enrollment comes in the late afternoon, they should be able to plan ahead though.
All students enrolled in the 16-week semester should consult their advisers on the first two days. Monday, Oct. 16, and Tuesday, Oct. 17, before finals begin.
Names of freshmen and sophomores in the College are posted on the bulletin board opposite room 229, Frank Strong hall together with their advisers' names and their office hours. If the class schedule of any student conflicts with the advisers office hours, he should get in touch with his adviser and arrange a special appointment.

In private conferences they can discuss with their advisers their progress in meeting the various requirements of the College, ask questions, and plan next semester's schedule under conditions more favorable than those that exist on the enrollment floor.

Not Crazy Just KuKu's On Parade
Those weren't escaped lunatics you saw on the Hill this morning dressed in screwy clothes. It was the neophytes of the KuKu Club going through the process of initiation.
(continued to page two)
In addition, each of the KuKu fledglings were required to sport signs bearing the legend "Beat Nebraska." One of the signs weighting down one of the initiates was three feet long and a foot wide and carried the legend in screening red letters. The poor lad nearly took off as he struggled against the Oread gale.
All of the lads were required to wear their clothes in reverse. Consequently Joe was continually helping Moe get into his corduroy sarong after each class and vice versa.
Four boys had to chase a lone female down Oread Avenue between classes at a handicap distance of one block.
By tonight, all of the memymaking will be over for the day, members of the organization said, and the more serious part of the initiation will begin.
