(By Munro Kezer) in the Inst two articles we dlscuss A the duties of the dean of men and t in womcn Th'8 ""I1" concludes the consideration of the u, deans of the University by dealing briefly with the functions of the deans of the colleges. The deans of the colleges are tho chairmen of their respective faculties and are the executive officers for their colleges. Although actually oossessed of broad powers, their posi tion is uniquo in that their power Is indefinite. It comes largely as a result of ability and Influence rath er than' from direct written author ity. The deans of the colleges are In somewhat of a buffer position, act inj as a means of contact between their faculties and the Chancellor i,d the Board of Regents. Likewise, their position often deals with prob lems of harmony between the stu dents and the faculty of their col leges. Each dean has a fundamental interest in the working of his col lege. It devolves upon him to study the workings of all parts of his col lege in order to promote its general effectiveness and efficiency. The lack of power to put improvements into effect is not as serious a handi cap as it arrears on the surface. Fixes Responi ibility for College The point of the dean of the col lege's position is that it makes some one responsible for the college. There is a definite personality look' ing at the college as a whole and at tempting to improve it. Recom mendations coming from such a source are generally acceptable to the college and approved by its faculty. The dean of the college is looking out for both his faculty and student body. The welfare of the student body is considered the ultimate end. The faculty is respon sible for the course of study of the college. Through its dean, contact is kept with other schools, so that cooperation is secured in meeting changing conditions. Responsibility for the teaching staff rests upon the dean of the college and tho chancellor. Recom mendations for appointments gen erally come from the chairman of the department concerned. The dean in his position of general director and advisor of the college is vitally interested in the efficiency of the teaching staff. On its efficiency de pends much of the value of the col lege to the student, whose welfare, we have already pointed out, is con sidered the ultimate factor govern ing the policy of a dean and his col lege. Presides at Faculty Meeting The dean presides at all faculty meetings of his college. Unless com mittees are appointed by faculty vote, they are selected by the dean of the college. From his position as wad of his college, he exerts a vital influence in unifying his college. Likewise, beino- n voennneiKIa knij he ' " - O bUJIVIIOIWlte I1V.UU) serves, through his connection With the other deans and th Chan. wllor, as an important factor in link "g the University together into a working whole. The duties of the deans are some what dependant upon the size of the Hege. In the smaller colleges, the wans do work that is handled by committees in the larger colleges. all cases, however, the deans of colleges act as points of contact with the general public.

PLANS FOR BALL ARE COMPLETED Dornberger's Victor Orchestra Is Chief Attraction Ar ranged for Affair The .eighteen annpal Military Ball which is to be held in the Uni versity Coliseum Friday night ap- nears to be the most elaborate for mal season opening in the history of Nebraska. The executive commit tee has arranged for Dornberger's Charles Dornberger, of Chicago, whose nationally famous Victor recording orchestra will play at the Eighteenth Annual Military Ball next Friday at the Coliseum. Victor Recording orchestra, import ed Georgian wild flower decorations, novelty favors, refreshments, and doormen. The orchestra has been brought to Lincoln from Chattanooga, Tenn. Previously it appeared with the Ziegfeld Midnight Frolics and at the Ritz in New York. They are rated in the east as one of the outstanding musical organizations. Anyone may attend the ball this year, and those who do not wish to take part in the dancing may get tiMrnt nrlmittinz them to the balcony of the Coliseum. Students intending to purchase tickets to the formal opening should secure them from the fraternity representatives before Wednesday. Ticket sales will close tomorrow save for those who will be oiroiiohlo at the Student Activities office, The College Book Store and Latsch Brothers. Yaternity repre sentatives report that the allotted fifteen tickets are practically all re served or sold.

U. Next Season VALLEY MEETING DEC. 4 Games With Valley Opponent! Will Be Arranged at Dei Moines Nebraska, to date, has practically completed its 1927 football schedule. According to Herbert D. Gish, direct, or of athletics, only one game is lack ing to fill the book. As a special treat, three interscc- tional contests of major import have been scheduled. New York U will return hero next Thanksgiving, Syra cuse will also display their goods on Memorial field, and Nebraska will journey to Pittsburgh early in the season. Missouri Valley contests have been ! definitely arranged with Kansas, Mis souri, Kansas Aggies, and Grinncll. Nebraska has not met Grinnell for twenty years, so this game should at tract quite a bit of attention. Mis souri and Kansas Aggies, due to a homc-and-home agreement, will en tertain Nebraska on their own grid irons. Drake or Ames Possibilities Game number eight has caused some speculation. Drake or Iowa State seem to be the probable op ponent but official announcement will probably be withheld until after the conference meeting at Des Moines, December 4. This schedule, which will be placed for Valley approval at the conference meeting at Des Moines next Friday and Saturday, constitutes an ideal list both from the viewpoint of the fan and the coach. The New York, Missouri, and Kansas Aggie strug gles which were so hotly contested this season promise to be a tender morsel for the followers of 1927 football. The Syracuse and Pitts burgh games will have a great ap peal to the multitude who desire to see "East vs West" clashes. 1926 Schedule Tough Enough The- Huskers, returning from their Pacific coast fray, have just complet ed a schedule which turned out to be as stiff a proposition as has con fronted Nebraska in many seasons. The games which " were classed as "breathers" proved to be difficult op ponents. The last three games, in which Nebraska met and defeated two of the trio of teams rated as the best in their part of the country, the east, middlewest, and west, was con sidered the hardest task placed be fore any squad this season. Al though dropping two of the eight contests, the Huskers gained more yardage and first downs than their opponents in every game on the list, and scored a total of a 123 points to their opponents' 46. According to percentage rating the Oklahoma Aggies have a clear bid to Valley honors with a record of three victories and a tie. These vic tories, however, were over Grinnell, Ames, and Washington the weaker teams of the Valley. In outside circles they dropped a game to Michi gan by a lopsided score of 42-to-3, and another to Tulsa University by a 28to-0 score. To rate the Oklahoma Aggies as the leading team in this section places Valley football in an unfavorable comparison with other leagues. Huskers Met Leading Teams On the other hand Nebraska play ed the leading teams of the Valley, defeated the Kansas Aggies who were heading for a clear title, defeat ed New York University, and lost by a scant margin to the Huskies of Seattle. The results of the 1926 season fol low: Nebraska 21, Drake 0. Nebraska 7, Missouri 14. Nebraska 20, Washington (St. Louis) 6. Nebraska 20, Kansas 3. Nebraska 31, Ames 6. Nebraska 3, Kansas Aggies 0.

Freshmen in the college of engineer ing at the University of South Dakota will entertain all student engineers at a banquet, December 21, the eve ning before the Christmas recess be gins. The banquet is an annual erent and is usually attended by a number of prominent professional engineers. Prefacing the articles, me editors of the magazine say: "The destruc tion of mu?h of the older class room space through the loss of old U-Hall and Nebraska Hall has made the Uni versity cramped for room. Even dor mitories and parts of the old Tcmplo building have been converted into classrooms to accommodate tho over flowing student body. In ten years, the classrooms and laboratory space has barely kept on even keel while the increase in tho number of stu dents has been enormous. The com pletion of Morrill Hall will tend to relieve tho situation slightly in the School of Fine Arts and tho Museum, but even this building does not solve the problem." Briefly, the recommendations of the various officials follow: R. A. Lyman, dean of the College of Pharmacy A new building for his college, to replace the present structure which he says is entirely inadequato and unfitted for the pur pose for which it is now used. There is no room for microscopic work, an important part in the instruction of physiological and pharmaceutical sciences, and for physiological work; the pharmaceutical laboratories are cramped. George R. Chatburn, dean of men "It is my personal belief that the University should have at least suf ficient dormitories to house all fresh men, men and women, under twenty years of age. It takes some time to bridge the gap between home life with parental care, and college life with its absolute freedom during those hours when the student is not in the classroom. Statistics show that about one-third of all students are eliminated from college during their, first year. The dormitory system, , with the tight kind of supervision, may materially decrease this mor tality. "The dormitory buildings should be near enough to the University so there would be no excuse for auto mobiles. They should compare favor ably with the best fraternity houses, about the same size, with rooms to accommodate two students each, a large living room, dining room, and kitchen. It would be well if the dor mitories could be intermingled with the fraternity houses so the men could become acquainted with each other. "As to the cost of dormitories, I presume it would be about $1,000 per student Possibly, it might be better to encourage building by frat ernities and sororities, thus throwing the cost on tho individuals who use the houses and not on the general taxpayer. Gilbert H. Doane, librarian "Tho present building was completed in 1895 to accomodate a collection of approximately 30,000 volumes to be used by a student body of 1,500 with 80 members of the faculty. Since that time, the student body has in creased to some 10,000, and the fac ulty to 381, while the books number approximately 200,000. We have been obliged to place some 20,000 of these in storage.
