Newly Elected Chancellor

Changes m Policy

Editors Note: The following,
article on the "Policies of the
University of Nebraska," was
written by Chancellor E. A. Bur
nett, who was elected Chancellor
of the University at the meeting
of the Board of Regents last
Saturday, to be effective March
1. I28-
The election of a new chancellor
in an educational institution always
TaLcs the question of whether or
not there are to be radical changes
in university policy. At the present
time we do not contemplate anything
vhich will be of that nature. We
have under way, .however, many
plans which will be of distinct value
in increasing the effectiveness of our
Present work and many other plans
which we shall endeavor to carry
out as soon as sufficient appropria
tions are available.
Things Under Way
A number of things have been
done during the past year to enable
us to serve Nebraska better. With
the completion of Morrill hall, the
museum was expanded and many
collections which had not before had
space for display were made avail
able to the public. The museum is a
branch of extension education which
makes a wide appeal to all classes
of people. The rapidly growing
School of Fine Arts also expanded in
its new quarters, so that now it is
one of the bestrcared-for depart
ments of the University and can bet
ter serve to develop the cultural life
of the state.
With the completion of Andrews
hall r.ext September the departments
of English and of German will have
new and suitable quarters. The
Dental College, ' which will occupy
the third floor of this hall, will have
new equipment which will enable it
to secure a first-class rating among
the dental colleges of the country.
Better Contact With StndenU
With the beginning of the present
year the work of the Dean of Stu
dent Affairs was enlarged to provide
closer contact with the life of stu
dents, and closer supervision of stu
dent delinquencies. The results of
this work have been gratifying and
f unher student contacts through this
office are planned. We feel that too
great emphasis can not be placed
on the matter of forming intimate
contact between faculty and stu
dents. riar.s are in progress to improve
the scholarship standards in the Uni
versity by an examination of those
i-tudtnts entering the University
whose scholarship records in high
school placed them in the lower quar
ter of the graduating class. These
tests and examinations are intended
to a d in the placement and registra
tion of students rather than in bar
rir.jf them from entrance. We hope

ST. PAUL WINS
VICTORY OVER
GRAND ISLAND
Saints Overcome Lead of Third
City and Emerge with
19-11 Final Score
EIGHTEENTH SERIES ENDS
Indianola Captures Class B
Title from Gothenburg
By 20-14 Count
St. Paul high school won the state
basketball championship last night,
trimming Grand Island in the tour
ney final, 19 to 11. The Saints staged
a desperate last half rally to over
come and eventually smother the
Third City crew's substantial lead.
Indianola captured the Class "B"
trophy, romping over Gothenburg,
20 to 14, while Tilden swept through
Peru Prep, 13 to 8, to carry off Class
"C" laurels.
Sweeping through the tournament
with wins over Norfolk, Kearney
and the highly touted Crete aggre
gations, St. Paul entered the final
round of play against Grand Island
with three hard games captured.
The Saints were slow in starting, and
baskets by Werner and Hunt of the
Grand Island contingent forged
their team ahead, 7 to 0.
First Half of Class A Came
Bahensky, Saint Paul forward
broke the ice for the Apostles with
a free throw and Capt Davis fol
lowed with a set up from the field
and a gratis toss as the half ended,
making the score 7 to 4. Davis ex
hibited some of his superior drib
bling in sinking his shot.
At the start of the second half,
Davis and Lynch of the champions
submerged the Islander with two
field goals. Olson, substitute forward
also counted four times from the
floor to give St Paul a substantial
lead. Schefrrins, Grand Island pivot
ace, put his team back in the run
ning with a side shot that sank clean
ly through the hoop. Both teams
milled considerably towards the end
of the game, with the St Paul five
playing a cautious stalling game.
The Third City aggregation fought
fiercely a3 the time became shorter
in the attempt to cut down the Saints
comfortable lead. Several shots from
the hands of Werner, Grand Island's
speedy forward, rung the hoop but
bounced out A the game ended,
Lynch, St. Paul center, tossed a neat
basket from the center for the final
marker of the tourney.
In the final Class "B" conflict,

Red Hair Is
Requirement
For Entrance
(By Bill McCIeery)
Baldheaded students will not be
admitted to the Orpheum theater to
morrow afternoon at The Daily Nc
braskan's theater party without a
letter from the dean of student af
fairs. Only redheads will get past
the doorkeeper to see Clara Bow in
Red Hair."
We just noticed some pictures of
Clara in the lobby of the Orpheum
(had to stand in line), and approve
very much of the star. We under
stand that the ticket taker at the
Orphcurn theater is a gentleman, but
he only prefers he doesn't admit
blondes. His eyes may be bloodshot
by tomorrow afternoon, though. Yon
might try it.
