All the deans, as we noted in the article on organization of the uni "5 versity are responsible to the chan- cellor. Whereas the nature of the Chan ,nnrg office is such that he is to a ereat extent removed from contact with the student Doay, me the deans are such that their offices 'probably have greater personal rela tionship with the students than any office on the campus with the excep tion of the offices of scattered, in dividual, professors. This is especial ly true in regard to the dean of men and the dean of women, with whose offices we shall deal first A card index of every student's registration, copied from the records in the registrar's office, is kept in the dean of men's office. All in structors report absences weekly and delinquencies quarterly. The records are all compiled in the dean of men's office. Data on the women students is sent to the dean of women, who is responsible for checking on the attendance and scholarship of the women. Absence Problem Peculiar The absence problem is a peculiar one. Often students drop out of courses without getting a drop slip. Many times students are absent be cause of illness for extended periods. Occasionally a student cuts a class. All these absences are reported to the dean of men's office. Students with excessive unexcused absences are called into either the dean of men's or the dean of women's office as the case may be. In this way the dropping of courses is uncovered and the records clarified at the regis trar's office. The dean's office is always check ing also, on absences from illness. All students forced to remain away for more than a day or two should report the fact to the dean's office. The inst-uctors can then be notified by the dean's office of the student's illness. Records can be clarified and the situation made easier for the stu dent Actually, only a small per centage of those sick report to the dean's office. Consequently, the of fice has to be constantly on the alert in its attempt to help both instructor and student Aid to both instructor and student the fundamental purpose of the of fices of the dean of men and the dean of women. There is a great deal of mechanical record-keeping in their work. But back of it all is a Personal interest in the welfare of to student, a sincere desire to help (Continued on Page Two.)

NEW GRID PILOT WILL BE NAMED At Cornhusker Banquet Held December 10 Captain's Identity Known The annual Cornhusker Banquet, to be held in the Scottish Kite Tem ple, December 10, will have as one of its features the announcement of the newly elected football -captain. Last year, the men attending the banquet looked forward to that part of the program with a high degree of interest, and were much impress ed with the novel method used to introduce the new Varsity leader. This year the same procedure will be followed. "Lonnie" Stiner will pre sent the oval pigskin to the man that is elected to lead the Varsity against next year's opposition. Shows School Spirit It has been noted that the banquet attendance can be forecasted by an analysis of the school spirit prevail ing during the football season. When Notre Dame fell before the mighty Cornhusker eleven four years ago, and again last year, the enthusiasm of Nebraska fans knew no bounds. As a consequence men were eager to know who would bo chosen to fiil the captaincy in 1926, and were more desirous of supporting the annual banquet which is held for the purpose of bringing Nebraska men together. Valley Leader The spirit of the occasion should be highly enthusiastic this year due to the fact that Nebraska is a Val ley leader in football, and if the sea son ends successfully, it is probable that the men will be attracted to the banquet in large numbers. It is hoped that the attendance of this year's banquet will evidence an in crease over last year's affair, if only for the reason that Nebraska wishes to pay tribute to the splendid team that has fought its way to a top-notch position in the Valley. Fraternities are asked to close their tables in order that the efforts to promote attendance may be made as effective as possible. CROSS-COUNTRY MEN HERE ON THDRSDAY Mid-Western A. A. U.

Indeed a great deal of work is performed by the Reference Bureau that no one ever hears about.

ZEININGERTALKS TO JOURNALISTS Newspaper Work in Far East Is Convocation Subject This Morning IS HONORED AT DINNER "Newspaper Work in the Far East" will be the subject of an ad dress by Charles ltussel Zeiningcr, United Press field representative, to be delivered before a convocation of the students of the School of Journa lism this morning ut 11 o'clock in Social Sciences 107. Mr. Zeininger returned to the United States but a few months ugo from the Philippine Islands where ho has been engaged in newspaper work for the past sev enteen years. He was for several years managing editor, and is now part owner, of the Manila "Bulletin", the largest newspaper in the Orient, Mr. Zeininger will discuss the methods of news-gathering in the Far East, the influence of American newspapers there, and will touch briefly on the political situation in the Philippines. Ho will also tell something of the history and activi ties of the more important news papers in that part of the world. The convocation has been arrang ed by the convocations committee of Sigma Delta Chi, of which Horace Goman is chairman, in cooperation with the Acting Director of the School of Journalism. Entertained at Cub Mr. Zeininger was entertained by Sigma Delta Chi at an informal din ner at the University Club last eve ning. Several newspaper men of the city, as well as representatives of the United Press and the Associated Press were also the guests of the fraternity. The guest of honor gave a very interesting, though brief, re sume of newspaper work in the city of Manila and of the movement for Philippine independence as he has observed it during the years he has spent in the Islands. It is Mr. Zeininger's opinion that the Philippines are not yet stable enough from an economic standpoint to enable the United States govern ment to relinquish control. Govern Themselves i "It is undoubtedly true," he stated "that the Filipinos would be able to.,,.,. . pinp.. rfeeoratine- denart- govem themselves equally as well as some of the small European coun tries that were created at the close of the World War, but the govern ment would be unable to support it self by taxation as conditions now exist." Jhe speaker asserted that the citizens of the Philippines are now taxed as heavily as they wisely can be, and, that with the assistance or our government, me annual Dua get is just sufficient to cover the ex penses of government although the strictest economy has been practiced. No Danger of lntica Mr. Zeininger declared that in his opinion there was no danger of any invasion of the Philippines by the Japanese or other Eastern powers in the event that the United States should step out, but that the business life of the Islands would soon be in the control of the Japanese. At the present time the retail establish ments of the Philippines are largely the hands of the Chinese, who compose half the population of the territory, although the Japanese have complete control of the Manila hemp industry, one of the most valuable products of the entire region. The speaker was introduced by Gayle C. Walker, Acting Director of the School of Journalism. Kenneth Cook, secretary of Sigma Delta Chi, acted as toastmaster.

WOMEN'S PARTY IS DECEMBER 10 Annual Cornhusker Dance planned for Armory; Costume Affair Is Tlans for the nnnual girl's Corn husker party, to be held in the Ar mory Friday, December 10, are well started, and everything indicates that it will be a good one this year, Tho nnrt.v is a vearlv event, snon- d b the A w. s boardi This " . . year Doris Pinkerton is in charge, as sisted by Audrey Beales. The other committees, which are already at work are: Music Laura Margaret Raines Arrangements Geraldine Heikes. Publicity Elice Holovtchiner. Letters Eloise Keefer. Posters Ruth Palmer. Other committees are to be ap pointed later. Come in Costume Every woman in the University is invited, and is to come in costume. During the evening there will be clever entertainment, dancing, and a grand march, when prizes will be awarded to those having the prettiest the cleverest, and the most original costumes. Many honorary organiza tions, Silver Serpent, Xi Delta, Mystic Fish, and Tassels, are giving skits. The first party started in 1911, when the women decided to have something for themselves the evening they were excluded frotn the men's Cornhusker banquet. Curiosity Shown Because it is strictly for women, there is always much curiosity on the part of the men. So in 1915 a boy went to the party, masqueraded as a girl. He was discovered, his picture published, and he was temporarily suspended from the University. Every costume imaginable will be seen that night. The costumes need not be elaborate or expensive, but are to be judged on their cleverness. Last year, Raggedy Ann and Rag gedy Andy, who "flopped" around the place the entire evening, were awarded first prize. This year the prizes will be much more worthwhile, and it will be profitable to spend a little time and preparation on one's outfit. Concessions are a part of the eve ning fun, and Mortar Board is in charge of this booth. Ice cream, cookies, pop and confetti will be available.
