OKLAHOMA DO YOUR
DUTY
Tomorrow afternoon those of us
who were not fortunate enough to
get to go to Seattle will be clustered
around newspaper offices and radio
sets listening: to the returns on the
Turkey Day conflict between Nebras
ka and Washington. But while our in
terests will naturally be centered
around the stadium in Seattle, there
is another part of the country which
will be watched closely by Cornhus
ker followers and from which any
news will be eagerly received. That
part of the country to which we refer
is Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Down at Stillwater tomorrow will
be a football game between the Uni
versity of Oklahoma and Oklahoma
A. & M. That game will decide the
Missouri Valley championship for
1926. If Oklahoma A. & M. wins, it
will win the championship ; if it loses,
Nebraska will win the championship.
No wonder we will be interested in
the outcome of the battle at Still
water. On November 11 we printed an
editorial headed "Our Duty to Okla
homa." At that time, Oklahoma hud
just defeated Missouri, thus eliminat
ing the Tigers from the Valley race
and Nebraska vas about to meet the
Kansas Aggies, undefeated in the
, Valley at that time. Oklahoma and
Nebraska could have tied for first
place in the Valley by winning the
remainder of their Valley games.
Oklahoma unexpectedly lost to
Kansas since then, and is thus out of
the Valley race although they still
have to meet the Oklahoma A. & M.
team which is as yet undefeated in
Valley circles.
Thus fate and peculiar schedules
again put our chances for the myth
ical title in the hands of Oklahoma.
If they win, we win ; if they lose, we
lose.
Nebraska fulfilled her assignment
when she defeated the Kansas Aggies.
It is now up to Oklahoma. Although
we know that the Sooners always
give the best that is in them, we feel
that a hopeful word of encourage
ment from Nebraska would not be
amiss. With our fate in your hands,
Oklahoma, we cannot help but say,
"Good Luck, and Do Your Duty."
and after vacations have been treated
rather harshly, and the same treat
ment will probably be dealt out this
year. Some instructors have been
known to have given "double cuts"
as the penalty.
Classes should be attended today
and next Monday out of pure sports
manship, and not because of any pen
alty .to bo inflicted by Instructors.
The " administration has shown its
willingness to cooperate by giving an
extra day of vacation this week, and
the least the students can do to show
their gratitude is to attend classes
today and Monday.
DISCUSSION GROUPS
The University Y. M. C. A. is at
tempting to start discussion groups
in the various fraternity houses.
Questionaires have been sent out and
It is hoped that the work can start
in the near future. The fraternities
were asked to pick the six topics they
preferred from the following list:
1. Is the fraternity fulfilling its
function on the campus?
2. What are we in college for?
3. What place should activities
hold in college life?
4. Why not second-semester
pledging?
5. Are probation weeks justified?
6. Why date? A discussion of re
lations between men and women.
7. What and where is God?
8. Are the teachings of Jesus
.. practical?
9. What about football? Does it
play too big a part in our life?
10. What shall we think about the
international situation?
11. Does the church have a real
place in modern life?
12. What does it mean to be hon
est in college work?
Most of these topics are ones
which should be acceptable to the
students for discussion and debate.
The fraternity discussion group has
become an established thing at many
schools, including Chicago, Illinois,
and Pittsburgh and there is no good
reason why it will not be a success
at Nebraska. It is the sort of thing
which tha Y. M. C. A. should be do
ing and we hope they will succeed
in this undertaking.
Women's Dean
Advises Girls
In University
(Continued from Page One.)
These two officials are largely re
sponsible for carrying out the stand
ards projected from the dean of
women's office. That office can not
individually check on the students.
But by cooperation with the house
mothers and house 'presidents, satis
factory standards are maintained.
Chief among these responsibilities
is proper closing hours. Three things
lie back of this, conventionality,
health and scholarship. From the
standpoint of the fate of the Univer
sity and from the standpoint of a
progressive society, the maintenance
of a sane conventionalism is not only
necessary but exceedingly important.
Often the foremost consideration in
rulings concerning the girls of the
University is the health of the girls.
The University realizes that unless its
students maintain their health, they
are of no value, either to themselves
or to the Btate. The dean of women
is responsible for protecting the girls'
health by limiting their work and ac
tivities.
Employment Bureau
It is in the employment field that
another bureau under the direction
of the dean of women plays an im
portant part. An employment bureau
is handled by Mrs. E. W. Lantz. It
has two functions, securing employ
ment for girls and adjusting their
University registration so that their
school work and outside work to
gether will not prove too great a bur
den. No woman may carry more than
fourteen or fifteen hours scholastic
work if working four hours a day un
less the work comes at meal times or
on Saturdays.
Besides the housing bureau and the
employment bureau, the work of the
dean of women is supplemented and
aided through several student organi
zations. Mortarboard, the board of
the Associated Women Students, the
board of the Women's Athletic As
sociation and the Y. W. C. A. cabinet
furnish needed assistance in helping
to maintain proper standards. Of
course standards are not perfect, but
considering the fact that there are
2400 women on the campus and that
criticism of their conduct is rarely
heard, the work of the dean of wom
en has been decidedly effective.
The dean of women's office is re
sponsible for the social calendar, for
the enforcement of the regents' rul
ing against mid-week meetings last
ing later than eight o'clock, is in close
touch with the various student loan
funds, and looks after anything con
cerned with Ellen Smith Hall.
Not Rushing Rules
Contrary to the general concep
tion, the dean of women is not re
sponsible for the enforcement of sor-

tributors look over the exchange
mairasines in the office for ideas
Copy may be submitted at the office
or given to Betty Bell or Dwight

Clataics Club
The Classics Club will not hold its
weekly tea Thursday, November 25.
The next tea will be given Thurs
day, December 2, in the library on
the second floor of the classics build
ing, from 4 to 6 o'clock.
SPORTSMANSHIP
Statistics of the past show that
there has been a marked tendency
for University students to Intention
ally miss classes on the days preced
ing and following vacations. This
same tendency may probably crop
out again this yeaf tpfor? and after
the Thanksgiving holiday.
Classes shoal4 be attended as reg
ularly as possible today and Monday
of next week. The administration has
shown itself willing to cooperate with
the students in granting an extra day
cf vacation and the students should
H to reverse the situation.
In the past students who have
! ' 1 cVsvs immediately before
ority rushing rules. Their enforce
ment is in the hands of the Pan-Hel
lenic board of which the dean of
women is an ex-officio member but
no responsibility in regard to sorority
rushing parties rests with the dean
of women.
The dean of women is secretary of
the student organization committee
which has supervision over all cam
pus organizations. She is also a mem
ber of the scholarship committee. All
absence excuses for women must be
obtained from the dean of women.
No woman is permitted to withdraw
from the University without the per
mission of the dean of women. This
ruling is designed to help the school
keep in touch with students leaving
and to prevent withdrawal when the
action seems unconsidered by the student.
So far we have dealt largely with
the restrictive functions of the dean
of women and her assistants. We
have seen that they are necessary and
oftentimes render a valuable service,
aiding rather than handicapping the
student. Perhaps the greatest part of
the time of the dean of women is
taken up with work of an entirely
different nature. She is the personal
advisor of every girl on the campus.
Her office is at all times at the ser
vice of the girls, ready to try to help
them solve their problems.
Encourages Girls
She encourages the girls who have
become disheartened for one reason
or another, confers with students
concerning their delinquencies, seek
ing to get at the cause of the trouble
that it may be removed. The girl who
is working her way through school
generally has little trouble scholas-
tically but is often worried on the
financial and social sides. The dean of
women attempts to advise these girls
and to remove or at least lessen their
difficulties.
She spends a great deal of time,
also, trying to help girls discover
their aptitude and to select their
courses accordingly. Many problems
are cleured up when the girl is put in
courses in which she is interested.
The office feels that the girl with a
definite aim, generally has less trou
ble and causes less trouble than the
girl without.
It is in this function of conferee
and advisor that the dean of women
performs her most valuable services.
The whole policy of the office is to
protect and to help the girls, to help
them reach the highest possible plane.
The office of the dean of women
wants to develop the girls of the
University into fine citizens of the
state, believing that the University
graduate should have higher stand
ards and should be a better citizen
as a result of attendance at the Uni
versity. The dean of women's office
is an actively working, integral part
for the carrying out of the whole
University of Nebraska conception of
progress for the individual and the
state, through the training of the
state's youth.

Little stories about the
Historical
In our Foreword we promised
to tell the readers of "The Daily
Nebraskan", in short instal
ments and by easy stages, the
story of the rise of the Central
Cafe to its present high esteem
with the public.
We said then, and we say
row, that it is a "tory of the
success of an ideal.
Something like thirteen years
aeo a young man named D. H.
Harris took over the manage
ment of the Central Hotel at
1325 P Street.
Although only a block and a
half from the heart of Lincoln's
business district, the Central
then was apparently in an out-of-the-way
part of the city.
Across the street a few old,
dying crtonwoods and a group
of ramshackle dwellings made a
far from attractive picture.
To comply with the Nebraska
hotel law, a cafe was run in
connection with the Central
Hotel, but it was under separate
management from the hotel.
This did hot prove wholly
satisfactory to Manager Harris,
inasmuch as there were a num
ber of changes in the cafe man
agement and at times very fsr
from satisfactory service, which
tended to hurt the hotel.

High School Students
Are Museum Visitors
Fifty-eight students of Miss Dctt-
man's Zoology class of Lincoln High
School visited the Museum Friday.
The teacher and pupils of District
103, Lancaster County, also visited
the Museum Friday and were inter
ested in the geological displays. They
have been sent specimens of some of
the common rocks, such as limestone,
sandstone, and granite.
It is the aim of the Museum to help
all schools in this way as much as
possible, particularly rural districts
which cannot afford to buy speci
mens of this sort.
