Editor'. Not TW.U th. tenth
t . series of article, which Mr.
N.br.A. o the development,
jfl..ts, nd .dmini.tr.tion of th.
University.
(By Munro Kezer)
With this articlo we turn to a dis
cussion of the departments which are
onstantly at work for the benef.
' the University but which attract
little attention unless something goes
wrong. The offices of the registrar,
finance secretary, and operating
superintendent handle an enormous
mass of business day in and day out.
To give some idea of the services
rendered by these officers is the pur
pose of the next few articles.
In this article we shall discuss the
work of the registrar's office, taking
up the work of the finance secretary
and operating superintendent, re
spectively, in succeeding articles.
The work of the registrar's office
my be summarized under three
main heads, information, records,
and publications.
The registrar's office is the in
formation center of the campus. It
attempts to be able to furnish in
formation of any nature concerning
the University or ' be able to tell
where that information can be found.
Full time for two persons is used in
waiting on students at the counter,
much of which is used in supplying
information, although a vast bulk of
checking and correcting errors Ss
handled over the counter.
Student Information Filed
The registrar's office attempts to
keep addresses, phone numbers, and
class schedules of students up to
date so that they can be located when
wanted, either by officials or by
friends. Students rarely appreciate
this sen-ice. It requires constant
checking on the part of the regis
trar's office to keep this information
up to date and it is rendered more
difficult by the failure of the student
body as a whole to appreciate that
this checking is for the students'
benefit. Provided this information
is kept up by the students, it is avail
able in accurate form to the general
public at all times.
Besides this information supplied
at the counter, one person is em
ployed practically all of the time
furnishing information over the
phone. A great deal of information
is also furnished by mail. The in
formation disseminated from this of
fice at the counter, by phone, and
by mail, covers an almost inconceiv
able range of subjects from mater
ial published in University bulletins
to matter that requires considerable
tracing to locate.
Publishes Bulletin.
The publication of University bul
letins is another function of the
registrar's office. All University bul
letins are prepared in this office and
Published under the supervision of
the registrar. Both the course of
study schedules and examination
schedules are published and issued
by the registrar's office. Each de
partment turns in its schedule. The
schedule committee meets to see that
there are no conflicts after which it
s turned over to the registrar for
publication.
The time of examination schedules
is determined by the registrar's of
fice with the approval of the Univer
sity Senate. The examination
schedules are published by the regis
trar. The same thing is true of the
calendar for the year. It is worked
ot in general by the registrar and
Published after the University Sen
ate has approved it.
All signs on the University bulle
tin boards have to be approved by
he registrar. No signs are allowed
go up which advertise things for
Pay unless they are University func
tions or are being held under the
auspices of the University.
Chief Duty Center, on Record.
The third and fundamental func
n of the registrar's office is the
keeping 02 records. Through re
cords, the registrar's office is ir. di
rect contact with every student cn
f camPus from the time he gradu
ates from high school until he gradd
tes from the University.

INTEREST TURNS
TO BASKETBALL
Squad Preparing for Opening
Game with Kansas Aggies
January 7 in Lincoln
The football season is over, and
now the griddcrs are reporting for
basketball practice. After six
weeks of training the varsity court
squad is rounding into shape, for the
coming cage season, which opens for
the Nebraska fans on January 7,
when the Kansas Aggies meet the
Scarlet and Cream quintet at Lin
coln. Coach Charles Black has discov
ered several stars in the course of
his practice, but no effective combin
ation has been tried, as basketball
men on the football team have just
reported. With the practice season
getting shorter, Coach Black is
very optimistic for the coming year.
Several letter men will be on the
cage team for the 1927 season..
Men on Grid Team to Report
With the football team back from
Washington, "Jug" Brown, Lawson,
Mielenz and Sprngue will all report
for practice. These men have been
busy on the gridiron so have not been
out for practice. Captain Smalm,
Tom Elliott, and Gerelick are the let
termen who have been out for prac
tice since the start.
The forwards are being drilled in
fundamentals and offensive plays,
and are being given every opportun
ity to perfect their shooting eye. Tom
Elliott who demonstrated his ability
to handle the ball last year is bid
ding strong for one of the forward
positions, and Captain Clark Smaha
will be back at his old position at the
other forward position. Gerelick, a
guard of last season's team, is back
at his regular post and is furnishing
competition for other guard aspir
ants.

Upperclassmen Must Specify Choice
Of Pictures for Class Sections
Within Next Three Day.
Prints of junior and senior pic

panels will soon be arranged and sent
to the engravers, according to the
editor of the 1927 Cornhusker. Over
a thousand upperclassmen will be
represented in the two class sections,
although the number is not quite up
to last year's total.
Seniors and juniors who have not
specified their choice of picture to
the studio must do so jthin the next
three days. Those who have not made
their selection by Saturday will have
to accept the choice made by the
studio, for the panels must be made
up within the next ten days and any
delay by students who cannot pick
their pictures cannot be counten
anced.
The class section panels will be
more beautiful than ever this year.
A new arrangement calling for two
panels of six pictures each per page,
instead of the customary twelve
picture panel will lend variety to the
section. Two other ideas will be in
corporated in the pages to make them
attractive.

RABBI STARRELS
GIVES ADDRESS
"Beauty and Simplicity" is
Topic Discussed at
Vesper Service
"Beauty and Simplicity" was the
subject 'chosen by Rabbi Starrels of
Lincoln for his address at the regu
lar Vesper service on Tuesday at
Ellen Smith Hall. Audrey Beales
led the meeting. Special music was
played by Grace. Modlin, Ruby San
stead and Thelma Starr.
"The glory of nature speaks to
man of his Creator," said Rabbi Star
rels. "In my travels in Greece and
Sicily, I viewed glorious settings of
nature upon which rested the art of
an ancient civilization. These exper
iences lift one above his ordinary
self and bring us closer to Him who
is the source of beauty and truth."
"The Greek people made wise
choices for the sites of their temples
and theaters. Many times they were
situated on rugged hills, with the
blue waters of the Mediterranean at
their edge, and in the distance could
be seen the smoking volcanoes. One
is literally buoyed up by such sur
roundings." Genius of Greeks Emphasized
"The simplicity and beauty of the
Grecian art convinces one of the
overmastering genius of the Greeks.
This was impressed upon me when
I visited St. Peter's at Rome. The
hugeness of the structure quite
swept me away. Yet it was so or
nate in its furnishings in comparison
with the beautiful simplicity of the
Grecian art we had recently witness
ed, that St. Peter's appeared cheap
and tawdry."
"Beauty is a joy forever. It is im
perishable. Righteousness and duty
wear just as well. To see such works
of art is a truly religious experience,
if we remember that the greatest
tHr.gs in life are marked by simplici
ty and beauty."

Washington, where he was instruc
tor of civil engineering. In connec
tion with this work he acted as as
sistant to the chief engineer of the
Seattle Park Department.
Experience gained while he was i
South America, as well as work with
the G. & Q. Railway, was the founds
tion of his work ten years later in
Washington and Oregon, where he
had very much to do with the loca
tion of the Columbia River Highway,
the Pacific Highway, as well as sev
eral others of lesser importance.
Following his service in France
with the 43rd Engineers, one of the
units which he organized and his
promotion to lieutenant colonel of
engineers in the same year, he was
honorably discharged in 1919, and
then entered the United States De

tion ond distribution of approxi
mately $300,000 worth of motor

equipment and supplies.
Leaving this position in 1924, he
was appointed chief engineer of the

until he accepted his present posi
tion last July.

The most striking new feature of
this year's show is the change from a
mixed cast to an all-male one, in
cluding the men's pony chorus. Sev
eral excellent female impersonators
were discovered at the tryouts, and
this new feature promises both a
touch of novelty and comedy in the
acting.
The male lead is played by Vance
Greenslit, Law '27, of Hastings, who
will take the part of "Wally." The
female lead is played by Herbert
Yenne of the dramatic department.
He is also the author of the play,
and had a great deal to do with the
selection of the cast to fit the char
acters around which he has developed
the plot.
With the play only two weeks off,
the cast is practicing every evening
in preparation for its appearance at
the Orpheum. When the Christmas
recess starts, the show will begin its
week's tour which includes Nebraska
