Scaton, operating superin tendent and purchasing agent, has just returned from Ithaca, New York, where he attended a meeting ot the College and University business of ficers association. From there ho went to Washington, D. C, to look over the government supplies, that are being offered for sale to t-tate-supported institutions. At the meeting in New York, plans were discussed for University and col lege finance and dormitory systems. University finance was the biggest and most important question raised, the final decision being to standard izo methods of accounting by basing costs of operation on the basis ot the number of students and the number of hours that the students are car rying. A ratio is taken between th actual number of students enrolled and the actual number of hours that the students are taking. The results are compared with those of the other institutions in the association. It may be that some of them will find that plans may be remedied or modified to enable the reduction of expenses. Dormitory systems were discussed and new ideas submitted by men from tho college and Universities that have large systems. In the east most of the institutions are endowed and are built in small towns so that it is necessary to build dormitories and make provisions for the students, ac cording to Mr. Seaton. Consequently the eastern colleges have the better systems and told the state University officials many interesting accounts of the manner in which they were con ducted and some of the mlnormeans of making the systems pay. One man told of the dormitory at his school (Continued on Page Four). CLEVEH STUNTS FEATURE GO-ED PARTY FRIDAY Costumes Represent All Styles of Feminine Apparel Ever Known W. S. O. A.

T TO BE FEORGANIZEO Pharmaccgnoscists of National Reputation to Aid in Build ing up Gardens Out cf 330 Drug Plants Grown in United States, Nebraska Gar den Grows 110 (University Publicity Office). Dr. W. W. Stockberger, head of the office of Drug, Poisonous and Oil riant Investigation for the United States Department of Agriculture, has written to the College of Pharmacy to ascrctain the condition of the drug plant garden of the Univer sity and to inquire about the future plans for it. His letter states that of the 3,10 drug plants that have been grown in the United States, 110 have been grown at the Nebraska garden. Under the care and super vision of Miss Elsie Day, who w-as an instructor in the College of Pharm acy, the garden gained a nation wide reputation. Photographs and articles concerning it appeared in scientific magazines. During the war, the difficulty in securing help, seeds and shoots handicapped continued ex perimentation, The garden has been placed in charge ot Prof. H. R. Lewton, who has secured the consent of several well-known pharmacognoscists to work with him in an effort to put the garden back on the former plane.

Several thousand Russian students got up this morning, each one started the day off with a cup of weak tea, and will have nothing more until evening, then perhaps only a boiled potato and some soap made of har ness, grass, bark, or straw. The situ- tion looks hopeless to them. They are facing a cold, hard, Russian win ter, with sufficient clothing, no money, perhaps with no lodging; the only future they can hope for, if they survive at all, is one handicapped by several physical weaknesses. And one hundred and fifty pennies will save a life for a month. The Christmas candles will go on sale at no set price, for they are to represent a free-will gift of students to students. Although those young people in war-ridden Russian cannct live on sympathy, good will and love, yet a gift prompted by those motives will accomplish more than" its giver would think. EIGHT SENIORS TO BE HONORED lil CORNHUSKER Pictures of Four Men and Four Women of Clasas of '23 Will Compose Section REPLACES BEAUTY DIVISION Student Body Will Elect Seniors Who Most Clearly Portray Nebraska Spirit A "representative set tion," to re place the beauty section, will fea ture the 1023 Cornhusker. Complete plans for the selection of the students who will bo honored by position In this section of the big annual are an nounced as follows hy the staff: The section will contain the pic tures of eight seniors four men and four women. Selection will bo made by the en tire student body soon after the Christmas holidays. The students chosen are to be rep resentative of true Nebraska ideals. Consideration will be given to schol arship, student activities including work in athletics, on publications and other campus activities, and social , activities. The representative section is de-' s'gned to overcome all objection which were raised against the beauty section of the annual last year. Only seniors are eligible to places in the section, as the awards will be a rec ognition of real service to Nebraska. During the campaign for subscrip tions to the Cornhusker, which will be hold in January, ballots will be distributed to all who enter their or ders for the year-book. This ballot will have spaces for the names of four men and four women. Eight names must appear on each ballot in order to have it count bo that as much of 'favoritism and cam naienine for individuals as possible may bo eliminated. The ballots will be numbered to correspond to the sales slips. In this way, danger of dunlicate voting will be eliminated. The new plan of voting is expected to meet with the approval of students who are anxious to have a fair and accurate election of eight seniors who deserve especial recognition four years of boosting Nebraska In tbe right way. The Cornhusker management has suggested that not scholarship, not athletics, nor social prominence- be taken into consideration alone, but that all of these points be taken in!3 consideration in the balloting. No soliciting will be allowed at or around the polls on the day ot the choice of the eight representatives. The management hopes to do away with the "blind'' voting which has sometimes characterized student elec tions. Each vote is supposed to rep resent the true opinion ot the voter uninfluenced by professional cam paigners or "favorite son" enthusi asts. The date for the election ot the four men n.id four women has not been announced, as the lime for the subscription canipigan has not been decided. Last year the sales for the annual were made during the week of registration for the second se mester.
