KIRSHMAN TO HEAD NEW
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
Announcement is made that subjects
relating directly to finance are to ba
grouped together under the depart
ment of finance with Dr. J. E. Klrsh-
man, professor of insurance and fin
ance, at '(.he head. This grouping of
subjects together has been done in a
number of loading colleges of the
country.
Some of the subjects to he includ
ed are money and banking, practical
hanking, corporation finance, trust
problems, and investments. Registra
tion in subjects relating to finance lia-j
increased in tho last year from fifty
eight to a total of 111 students ths
semester Any further increase would
eouire more instructors.
SECRETS OF BIZAD
FACULTY REVEALED
Ccnfidential Stories Told About. Dig
nified Business Administra
tion Professors.
It is the proud boast of the college
oil business administration that its
faculty equals that of any other such
college in the country. Tho lectures
delivered each morning, the work in
dued, the readings assigned, how
ei, give the students only one side
if their eentle !.:. ted, if at tnuea,
g.ul'f instructors. The teachers weie
all students at college on'.-e; they,
coo, once longed for some such holi
day as Bizad day, wherein they could
disport with their equals and super
iors, and do away with lessons for
a day.
Our faculty is a dignified body.
Its meetings on the third ilojr ot
social science hall are conducted ac
cording to the best rules of Hoylc ana
Roberts. But the instructors have
their foibles and their weaknesses,
and their anecdotes to relate.
So the Bizad edition of the Dati
N. braskan has collected and veritioil
all the "dope" it could secure on the
faculty numbers. Here it is; given
in confidence, it is expected that the
writers will not be flunked in their
ch'.sses because of their efforts.
Dr. George O. Virtue ought to be
cno most dignified man of the fac
ulty. He is a Harvard graduate, and
maintains in tho economics and com
merce department all the traditions
of "ilea old Harvard." He h b.v com
mon consent declaied to bo the wit
tiest member of the depaitnunt, al
though, of course, some of his jokes
...re of the Scotch variety. Dr. ir
Liie is coins to furnish, we under-
s..iud, typists for the student n his
.onises so that they can complete in
lime the many tests and papers ho
assigns. In his more serious mo
ni.-nts. lie nas wimeu uno
lepoits on stale finance ev-3i pub-
.shed.
I'.oiVssor O. It. Martin is a business
n.nn as well as an economist. He
... made a success in business and
is a conspicuous example of the type
of teacher who teaches business, not
li.in books alone, but fiom actual
hu,iness experience. He helped found
the commercial club and it was large
ly liirough his efforts that a chapter
of Alpha Kappa Psi was installed in
.he University of Nebraska, ms ol
uco hours are Horn 8:50 a. m. to 8:51

Martin's office at that hour will re

LINCOLN, NKBUASKA, FK1DAY, OUTOUKR 'IS, 1021.
Greetings from the Chancellor!
To the Bizad Students:
I congratulate you on reaching such a degree of college consclou
ness as to make this day possible. The laws, engineers, aggies, phar
macists and others have a longer history but none seem to have a
stronger group feeling. This Is worthy of note as Business Adminls
tration with Dentistry Is the youngest college on the campus.
Reasonable rivalry between the several colleges is wholesome and
healthful. The University Is stronger, not weaker, for being divided
into ten colleges Just as the nation is stronger and not weaker, by
being divided Into forty-nine states. State pride l not subversive of
national patriotism; college pride is not destructive to University
unity.
A comparison of these special days may show which of our col
leges has the most pep, the most enthusiasm, whose students can yell
the longest, cheer the loudest, or put on the most clever stunts. Fortu
nately for the pride of everyone there are no official judges; hencs
every organization can feel that it made the best showing. After
all it is not of great importance as to which college day may dent
the University's consciousness most. The real problem is to dent
the times in which we live.
I sincerely trust that the pep and enthusiasm generated on such
days as the Bizad Day may continue and be directed along the lines
of achievement in college and after college. May this day be prophet
ic of the pep and enthusiasm that you will show in your college work
and in your future business careers.
S. AVERY, Chancellor.
VALLEY CiiS
HERE TOMORROW
Oklahoma Sooners To Mix With
Huskers on Nebraska Field
Saturday.
OMAHA ROOTERS AT GAME
Metropolis To Have Crowd at Game
To Watch Presentation Of
Blankets.
Nebraska followers of the pigskin
sport will have a chance to see the
two strongest contenders for cham
pionship honors in the Missouri Val
ley in action tomorrow afternoon at
2:30 p. in. when the Cornhuskers and
Sooners mix on Nebraska field The
Nebraska-Oklahoma clash will be
watched with a great deal of interest
from all parts of the Valley and is
probably the most important contest
among the various conference teams.
Coach Dawson put. the Varsity thru
a terrific period of scrimmage last
evening in preparation for the Okla
homa giants. A few minor changes
will probably be made in the lineup
from last Saturday. Triplott will prob
ably start at center in place of Nixon,
who is out with a bad shoulder. The
rest of the lineup will be the same as
started against Notre Dame.
Reports from Omaha indicate that
a large delegation from the metro
polis will be on hand to witness the
i-ooner-IIusker contest. One of the
features of the game will be the pre
sentation of large "N" blankets to six
teen of the regulars on the squad. The
Sooners are due to arrive in Lincoln
sometime this morning and Coach
Bennie Owen will probably give his
men a light workout at the college of
agriculture gridiron.
Following the Sooner game all eys
will be turned toward Pittsburg where
the Cori:huskt rs and Clen Warner's
Panthers are due to mix a week from
Patuiday. The railroad strike has been
giving the athletic department some
worry but the trip will he made re
gardless of th-.' prevailing conditions.
NORMAN, Okla., Oct. 27 (Special!
Lawrence E. "Jap" Haskett, captain,

Eventually! Why not now?
There's a reason A 1922 Corn-hunker.
The Cornhusker staff have not tdked up new features nor are they
jolng to. They have promised a q eat book, however, and you will
se disappointed.
Ray Stryker confidentially told us, even tho they weren't talking
up the new features, he also addco that they wouldn't be absent. This
is the dope from the business manager of the 1922 Cornhusker and
it's the nude truth.
FOOTBALL RALLY
IS TRIS EVENING
Mamouth Bonfire, Songs And Yells
To Feature First Outdoor
Celebration.
THOUSANDS ARE EXPECTED
Crowds To Gather at Sixteenth And
O And Fifteenth And K For Big
Parade to Field.
Something a little unusual in rallie.3
will he sit aged tonight before the Ok
lahoma game on the drill field just
north of social science hall. A ma
mouth bonfire, symbolic of Cornhusk
er hopes of victory over tho Sooners,
will beckon thousands of students tD
the scene of yells and songs and short
speeches by Professors Cochran and
Scott.
The band wil begin to call students
together with a few spirited pieces
at 6:45 p. in. at the corner of Sixteenth
and R streets. All students who live in
fraternity, sorority and rooming
houses north of O street are asked to
meet at this intersection and march
to the drill field together behind the
Land. Those on the south side of O
street are asked to meet at the Delta
Gamma house, 1510 K street, at 6:45
nid march to the field.
Nebraska's three cheer leaders have
been practicing for several days so
that their methods of cheer-getting
will realize the maximum results from
the assembled students. The cheer
leaders received many valuable sug
gestions from the way in which th?
cheering was handled at Notre Dame
by one man.
This is the first open-air rally of
this year and the first one to be staged
since the years of 1002-3, when Ne
braska was "football crazy" to quote
a school publication ot those years.
Students are urged to co-operate
with the Innocents society in gettin'g
enough inflammable material on tin
drill field to make the bonfire a g'.
gantic fire of victory for Saturday.
It is expected that the students on
the north side of the city will try to
turn out in larger numbers than those
on the south side. "A little competi
tion will increase the attendance at the
rally mightily," said a faculty mem
ber yesterday afternoon.

ALPHA KAPPA PSI IS
Nebraska Chapter Only One of Many
in Profess. onal Business
Fraternity.
Seven years i.go, before the Ne
o.aska school of commerce had ex
panded into a college uf business aa
ministiation, the need of a protes
..donal business fraternity was keenly
felt. The oldest and strongest l'ri
t rnity of this kind was Alpha Kappa
Psi, which was founded at New York
university in 1904. Largely through
the effo.ts of Prof. O. R. Martin, who
was acquainted with the purpose of
the fraternity, Zeia chapter was in
stalled at Nebraska in 1014, with a
membership ot eight.
The object of this fraternity is to
lUitlnr the individual welfare of its
nu nibers, to fosier scientific lescirch
in the fields of commerce, accountJ
and higher ideals therein, and .0 pro
mi iv and advance in America l insti
tution of learning courses leading to
dog. ies in commercial science.
At the present time theie are twcii
iy-six chapteis with a total member
ship of over two thousand, hundreds
of whom are leading business men
and educators of this country. The
present membership of Zeta chapter
is one hundred and ten, sixty rive ol
whom are alumni and nine or whom
are honorary. Faculty nienibeis con
sist of Dean Le Rossignol, Professors
artin, Virtue, Ivey, Kirchman and
Cole and Instructors Conner, IX'.iling
.on and Pike. Zeta chapter has at
tempted and, to a large extent, has
succeened, in carrying out the objects
of the lratornUy. It has been active
in the support of every mo.enieni
u lining toward the advancement ol
the college. In the future it expects
to be of fill greater assistance in
idling the ever-increasing needs ol
the college and the university.
Wl.i.e membership in Alpha Kappa
Psi is b.v invitation, yet initiative,
character and scholarship are essen
tial qualities. To be eligible, a stu
dent must be regularly enrolled m
the college of business administration1
uii 1 muse have not le-ss than forty
five liotiis credit, with an average of
at le.;s-. So pei cent. Excellence in
,cholar:-hip is not lequired; it is a
combination of good scholarship with
the other qualities which make:; one,
eligible for consideration. Alpha
Kappa Psi desires those men whoso
qualities indicate that they will be
among the successful business men
of the future.
Zeta chapter has adopted the prac
tice ot having semi-monthly dinners
nt social fraternity houses or at ho
tels. Active members and alumni
gather to discuss topics of common

THICK FIVE CKNTS
I COLLEGE TOLD
Dean J. E. Le Rossignol Reviews
Forward Steps In Development
To Present.
RAPID INCREASE IN SIZE
Enrollment Much More Both Of
Faculty Members And
Students.
The college of business administra
tion is an outgrowth of the dcp.irt
nii nl of economics and commerce. V-i
far hack as the year 10ml, when Pro
fessor V. (I. L. Taylor was head of
tho department, a beginning was
made in the way of special training
for business and Professor W. C. Web
ster gave work in Hie history of com
merce and similar subjects. Later,
Professor G. A. Stephens gave courses
iu accounting and commercial geo
graphy, and Professors Condra and
J'.eiigson of the department of geo
graphy also offered courses in tho
latter subject. Then, too, Professor
Virtue, Professor England, and other
members of the department gave
courses in general economics, railway
transportation, public finance, corpor
at ion finance, money and banking,
theory of crises, and allied subjects
all of which are closely related to
training for a business career, and
many students took them with that
end in view.
In view of the) rapid increase in tho
enrollment of the department and the
demand for a better organization of
the work, the school of commerce was
created in the year 1013 as a division
of the college of arts and sciences.
At that time Professor O. R. Martin
came from the University of Illinois
to take charge of the courses in ac
counting and business organization,
which have since expanded and de
veloped in a remarkable way. Later
Professor D. V. Cole, one of our own
graduates, was added to the staff in
accounting, and still later Mr. E. 0
Davis, now instructor in accounting in
Columbia University.
In the year 1919 the state legislat
ure created the college of business
adiiMiiistration, and thus the third and
latest stage in the development of
business training in the University
of Nebraska was begun. The late Mr.
J. Frank Barr, secretary of the Fed
eration of Nebraska Retailers, and Mr.
N. Lieberman of the Lincoln Associa
tion of Credit Men, took an active part
in securing the passage of this act.
As the college of dentistry was creat
ed by the same act, it is the twin
brother of the college of business ad
ministration. Since that, time the enrollment of
the college has increased very rapidiy,
and a number of new instructors have
been added to the staff, making it pos
sible to divide the work by assigning
to each instructor a special field. For
example, Professor T. T. Bullock has
charge of the work in business law:
Professor P. Ivey, marketing,
salesmanship and advertising; Pro
fissor J. E. Kirshman. money and
hanking, corporation finance and in
vestments; Professor F. E. Wolfe, sta
tistics and business research; Profes
sor E. S. Fullbrook, foreign trade an 1
tiade policies; Professor J. R. Le
Rossignol, labor problems and social
ism; Professor C. E. McNeill, railway
transportation and municipal econom
ics; Mr. Paul Conner, introduction and
principles of economics; Mr. G. M.
Darlington and Mr. H. W. Pike, ac
counting and introductory economics
All of these more specialized course
are given by the department of eco
nomics and commerce, but, on account
of the requirements for graduation,
certain departments of the college of
arts and sciences are intimately relat
ed to the college of business admin
istration, notably the departments of
English, modern languages, mathemat
ics, history and political science.
Moreover, students may take about
thirty hours of "approved electives" si
that practically a full year's work iu
law. engineering, agriculture, or other
special field may be taken as part of
the four year's course.
The college occupies the greater
part of the third floor of the new so
cial science building, where there are
the usual class rooms, offices and
laboratories. Two years ago every In
structor had his private office, but
lately it has become necessary to dou
