Eastern Colleges Relieves Strain
on Chancellor
j. 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! ' atangements of the offices devot
ed t the accountants. The spare on
the fir.-t floor of the administrative
building has long since been out
Rr v.n. u is understood that Secretary
I'aW. who is no longer conected with

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

game will progress more rapidly. The

thf'ir field JUt eaf,t of the social

FOR MAN TEAK
Tentative Varsity Will be Selected by
Coach Dawson Today Officials
to be Known Soon
Varsity football practice last even
j consisted of the regular prelimin
ary work followed by a long signal
.iractice. Coach Dawson didn't put
the Huskers through the usual
thirty minute scrimmage grind that
up to last night has been one of the
chief factois in the Cornhusgers prac
tice. Foity men reported for work last
evening and Coach Dawson with his
-.ssiitants, Frank and Day, kept three
elevens going all during the workout.
Coach Farley Young of the yearling
crew is bringing his men around into
shape and will be ready to battle the
Varsity in a few nights.
The Varsity teams will continue to
battle each other until the first year
men are ready to meet their more
experienced opponents. Followers of
the Husker football athletes are due
for a pleasant surprise' Saturday when
he 1921 Scarlet and Cream aggre
gation get into action.
A tentative lineup will be printed
in tomorrow s Daily Nebraskan with

idea as to the strength of the 1921
combination. The Weslyean lineup

Valora Hullinger Is Presented With
"N" Blanket For Securing Most
Subscriptions.
MANY STUDENTS SUBSCRIBE
Campaign To Continue This Week-
Record Number of Subscriptions
Hope of Management.
Valora Hullinger, a member of Alpha
Omicorn Pi, was the winner of the
prize given to the individual selling
the largest number of subscriptions to
the Awgwan on Tuesday of this week.
The prize is an official "N" blanket.
Mis-! Hullinger solicited 1S1 sub
scriptions the. first day of the cam
paign, nearly double that of her uear
st com let iter Miss j.oi.i Thompson,
Kappa Kappa Gamma, ranked second
with a total of 92 subscriptions. Madge
Morrison, Alpha Phi. stood third with
a total sale of 69 subscriptions.
Announcement will be made of the
winner of Wednesday's blanket in tho
Daily Nebraskan on Friday. A complete
report of the outcome of the campaign,
together with the winners of Thurs
day's and Friday's blankets will bo
ready for announcement on Sunday.
The number of subscriptions sold
has not approached the number yet to
he sold. The person who came close to
winning one day may win the blanket
fie next day. The awards are made to
the one person who sells the most
Awgwans on one specific day. The
number makes no difference as long
as it stands highest. Those working for
subscriptions are earnestly solicited to
keep up their efforts and swell the
number of subscriptions each day by
as many as were obtained Tuesday.
Campaigns of past years have al
ways dwindled down during the last
few days but the management says
that it is not always the best policy to
follow precedent. It is to be hoped
'hat this year, as some years previous
have proved, will he unusual and that
fhe number of subscriptions will break
all records.
The formal awarding of the blankets
will probably take place Monday.
T."ese blankets are highly valued and
coveted by L'niversity of Nebraska co
eds. More interest than usual has been
shown this year and the final results
if the campaign will be keenly anti
cipated by the students.
