BEAUTY TALENT Just where do the styles come from, anyway ? In England, of course, the matter has been made very simple. The whole thing is left up to the Prince of Wales. You can see at once how easy that makes the clothes question for the Britishers When the Prince takes a quiet stroll about London, accompanied by a regiment or two of cavalry and six military bands, all the vil lagers take careful note of the royal costume. Then each loyal subject rushes overtoBond Street and buys one exactly like it. Over here, we have no Prince worth putting in the saddle, and the movie heroes are too jealous of each other for any one of them to , take the lead. There's nothing to do when it comes to college clothes at least but let the styles be decided by the men who are going to wear them. Sounds rather reason able, at that. Our college men know clothes and they have their own ideas as to what they want to wear. We'd back their judgment against that of royalty any day! P.S. We carry Society Brand allege clothes because they are designed exactly as college men have said they should be. You'll not find any more distinctive clothes anywhere.

A collodion of Moro weapons has boon received by II. T. Martin, cur ator of the anthropology and paleon tology collections in Dycho muacum at tho University of KanHns, and has been added to tho growing collection of native Philippine articles. Tho Moro collection was nindo by Henderson Martin, former vice-governor of tho Philippines, during his term in the islands, and was sent by him to tho University. Tho collec tion consists of two nmcliotos or "barongs," two swords, and a long spear, with Bcabbards. "These weapons are especially valuable to tho University," Mr. Mar tin, the curator, snid, "for wo know they are genuino ones, having seen uso in battle. In a few more years it will bo difficult to get such speci mens, for they will have gone out of use, and will be manufactured solely for sale to collectors." However, their very genuine na ture makes the curator nervous in handling them, for, as he expressed it, "one never knows what kind of virulent poison has been put on their blades, nor when one will get cut." Waddcll Criticizes Engineering Education in Blue Print Article South Dakota Selects Womens Debate Team Vermillion, S. D., Nov. 29. Se lection of the debating teams which will meet the women's debate organ izations of Dakota Wesleyan and South Dakota State college, Decem ber 2, was announced today by Harry G. Barnes, debate coach at the Uni versity of South Dakota. The question for the triangular debate is the adoption of uniform marriage and divorce laws in the United States. The debates will be of the open-forum type without judges' decisions. Constructive criticism of engineer ing education is given in J. A. L. WadellV 'article entitled, "In What and Why Does Engineering Educa tion Fail to Attain Its Greatest Pos sibilities?" tho second of a scries, in the November number of tho "Ne braska Bluo Print" published by tho student chapter of tho Nebraska En gineering Society. Improvement should bo made, ac cording to Mr. Waddoll, along three chief lines, namely better Instruc tion, more thorough and simple courses, and students of higher clnss. All frills such as foreign language, elaborate courses in economics, lit erature and tho like, should bo elim inated. Specialization with more coni Dlete reauiremcnts and tho electives restricted, condensing of courses so as to cover as Bhort a time as pos sible; thorough knowledge of the use of mathematics as required in prac tice; a working knowledge of the English language; good knowledge of the fundamentals of physics and chemistry: training In mechanicul drawing and the rudiments of sur veying and measuring, and a descrip tive course of engineering materials and general business methods are among the writer's recommenda tions. More care should be exercised in the selection of entrants to the schools of engineering, Mr. Waddcll believes, so that only those of high caliber, sound basic education, and large futures may be trained as far as possible. Carrying of incompetents is unfair to themselves and to the competents. A constant supply of high caliber applicants might be in sured by establishments of prepara tory schools in connection with the higher schools. Longer Course Proposed Indiana Coeds Have Better Health Coeds at the University of Indiana are losing "that graceful silhouette" according to the woman's physician at the school. She says that fewer girls are deliberately starving them selves to keep down their weight and as a result the health average has been raised materially.

Bet ter ways of augmenting tho output can be found, such as developing in tho students a true lovo and admira tion for tho profession of engineering and a consequent increase of their capacity, or shortening tho useless and interfering holidays which cut down so materially the working hours of tho students. There is much abuse of tho lecture system which is one of the fundamcn ta lcauses of lack of efficiency in en gineering education. Principal ob jections as summarized by Mr. Wad dell are: the lecturer does the hard thinking instead of the student; lec tures are quickly forgotten unless notes are taken during tho discourse; it is not feasible to simultaneously take notes and listen attentively to all tho lecturer is saying; numerous mistakes arc made in taking lecture notes, and when the records are stu died or referred to later, tho said mistakes are both misleading and ex asperating; any lecture that is worthy of being taken down as notes by the hearers is certainly worth being printed in pamphlet or book form by its author;, lectures and lecture notes involve an extravagant use of the stu dent's time and are, therefore ob jectionable on the basis of true economy. The writer recommends the divis ion of the training into three stages of advancement bo that each student may find and be taught in his own level. In the lower levels specializa tion should begin with few elective courses so that discipline could be more severe, training more broaden ing, and talent more developed as the students get deeper into their pro fessional education. Bethany Circle Pledges Named Theta chapter of the National Bethany circle, an organization of university women who belong to the Christian church, held a pledging service recently, at which the follow ing girls were pledged: Lolta Mc Neal, Velma Wood, Frances Boomer, Helen Knapp, Ruby Sanstead, Ber nice Pardee, Elva Erickson, Esther White, Olive Seymore, Faye Martin, Helen Anglis, Lucille Hac, Arvella Hanson. Earlier pledges were: Dorothy Mercer, Mary Harmon, Sylvia Cole, Marguerite Hac, Lois Oberlies, Eloise McAhan. The officers of the year are: Genevieve Miller, President; Ruth French, Vice-President; Edna John son, Secretary; Arlene Sherfey, Treasurer; Dorothy Knowles, Cot- responding Secretary. Theta chapter was installed at Ne braska last spring. The organization was formerly local and was known as the Ecclesia Club.

In recent years, there have been a number of foreign students whoso standing has been determined In this manner. High School Credits Filed A iplete file of the credits of everv trraduate of an accredited high school in the state hug been kept Bince 1892. All any Nebraska high school eraduate has to do is to notify tho regiHtrar's office that he will at tend tho University and a transcript of his credits will be forwarded to him ready for regintration. A complete record of all students attending the University in kept. The only reports from tho instructors are those made at the end of the semest er. Tho grades are recorded from the cards to tho registrar's records, checked from the record to see that they agree with the cards, and then the cards are mailed to the students. Secretary of Faculty The registrar is the secretary of the faculty of every college. In this capacity, the registrar has to keep the minutes on every faculty meet ing. The registrar recommends the seniors to their respective faculties for graduation. The faculty in turn recommends their graduation to the Board of Regents. Full time for one person is used in checking credits. One person gives half time in the winter to trans cripts, that is, just copying the cre dits for records. Anotner half per son's time is used in compiling statis tics which have to be furnished by the registrar. Statistics have to' be compiled in regard to all scholarship requirements of the University, eligi bility for fraternity or sorority in itiation, and for averages for honor fraternities. Full time for two' per sons is spent checking on seniors' re quirements, delinquencies, etc. Fees are) Checked Here The registrar's office has to check on all fees. The registrar is respon sible for seeing that all fees are. paid although having nothing to do with collecting them. The enforcing of the military science and physical education requirements also requires constant checking from the regis trar's office. With the increased enrollments of recent years, the identification of students has become quite a prob lem. Students with identical or very similar names are no longer unusuaL It is this d:fficulty which is respon sible for insistence on accurate re cording of full name and related data at registration. In several cases confusion has been caused due to similarities in name which more com plete information might have avoid ed. Another trouble has been the tendency of some students to use one name one time and another name another time. The records of the office are brought completely up to date at the end of each school year. At the be ginning of each year, a vast mass of material has to be inserted in the records. It takes two or three weeks to get the records back on a work ing basis after registration. Joint Service and Recording Office The registrar's office is, then, a joint service and recording office. A tremendous amount of records has to be kept in order to have the par ticular records which may be want ed from time to time. Accuracy and speed are the fundamental aims of the office. The records must be right. And they must be kept up to date. Balancing the close mechanical ness of the record-keeping of the re gistrar's office is its miscellaneous information service. Beth functions are valuable to the student The in formation is a help, a distinct service and one which could be rendered with difficulty by any other office on the campus. The records are a neces sity. Both make the registrar's of fice a spot of prime importance to every student and one whose continu ed efficiency is to the interest of every student.
