STUART DALES TO REMAIN . wi Pattern After Illinois In Ar rangement of Offices and the Administration The reorganization of the finance office of the University is progressing acon'ing to plans diagrammed by Comptroller Morey of the University of Illinois. Mr. Morey was brought ,,, Lincoln in the late summer to give expert advice on the conducting of the administrative offices,, according to the plan introduced at Ilinois. Ti e office of comptroller for Ne braska was offerel to a man at Mi ami. O., on Mr. Morey's secommend atioii, and it has been expected that ,e vot.ld undertake the duties of the 0ffiCf rue first of next January, out i line if still doubt as to his accept ance. Meanwhile adjustments are be li-B' n.ade so that everything will be runni!. smoothly in acordance with the 1 -w plan before a financehead arrive-. The office of comptroller has been cp;ati' in various universities in ol der to relieve the chancellor or presi dent from too great burden of execu tive duties. In Nebraska the chancell or will retain the responsibility for the annual budget and fixing of salar ies. Dut when the budget has once been fixed it will fall to the comp troller to carry out its provisions. He wlil sign all vouchers, arrange for repairs and improvements of build ings, and shifting of funds, when nec essary, from one department to an other. If advice on finance matters is needed., the comptroller may deal directly with the board of regents, lie will probably attend meetings of the board. If information concerning back history or previous salaries is required he will deal with the record ing secretary. Dales Will Remain J. Stuart Dal-s will remain pemr. nentiy recording secretary to the board of regents. Mr. Dales has been connected with the university since its organization t-nd la familiar with every detail of its history, financial and otherwise. The purchasing agent, a position h!J by L. F. Seaton. appointed last year, will have general control of buildings and repairs. He will be re sponsible to the comptroller. A new Potion, that of bursar, has been cre ate i. L. K. Gunderson of the secre tary's office, has ben appointed bur rar this fall. He will have charge of ilr- bookkeeping and accounting of ur.i-.ersity funds. The bureau will be iir ' r the comptroller. S'.ji.f. of the details of the plan, such as shifting of present employes iu'-i (if-finite positions, are not de f t. i- fixed. Charges have already been made in t!

Notice Those Limps The Girls Bear Up With on the Campus You have been noticing the mini eri:a girls who have been around the campus this week. This is not due to any strange disease, but is due to the f'-t that so many of the girls are Maying soccer, and when they make connection with the ball and their foot, they make the connection on the wrcng part of the foot. The re '"It is a painful foot for a time, and that's what causes the limp. 1'erhaps after a while the girls ""! learn to kick, and then the soccer game will progress more rapidly.
