of series of article which Mr.

Nebraskan on the history, devel

tion of the University.
(By Munro Kezer)
Ve have discussed the develop
ment of the University, particularly
in regard to its spirit and ideals and
their significance to the state. The
next several articles will deal with
the administration of the University.
In our life on the campus, we see
only a small part of the administra
tive work that has to be carried on.
It is the purpose of these articles to
ioh information concerning the
general organization of the Univer
sity and the more important adminis
trative offices in detail.
In this article we shall deal with
the general organization of the Uni
versity. We have already noted that
provision for the establishment of the
University was made in an act of the
legislature on February 15, 1869.
Practically entire control of the Uni
versity has been vested in the Board
of Regent3. The legislature retains
control over appropriations. The
legislature has consistently followed
a wise policy in regard to the admin
istration of the University. It has
made no attempt to regulate the Uni
versity, leaving that to the Regents
who are elected directly by the peo
ple for that purpose. This has meant
that the University has had one au
thority. It has been able to carry out
a continuous policy while directly re
sponsible to the people.
Regent Similar to Corporation
Except' for the necessity of secur
ing appropriations from the legisla
trre, practically entire control of the
University is in; the hands of the Re
gents. The revised statutes of the
state provide that they may sue and
be sued like any corporation. They
may acquire real and personal prop
erty whenever the University can be
benefitted thereby, except that they
are not permitted to dispose of
grounds upon which, buildings of the
University are located without the
consent of the legislature.
Power to enact laws for the gov
ernment of the University is placed
in the hands of the Board of Regents.
They are given power to elect a
Chancellor, to prescribe the number
of professors and officers, their du
ties, and their compensation. They
also have power to remove the Chan
cellor or any professor or officer of
the University.
Restriction on Building Sites
One peculiar restriction was placed
on the Board of Regents. The legis
lative enactment, known as the Uni
versity Charter, provided that the
buildings of the University should be
erected within four miles of the
statehouse.
This so-called charter provided
that the immediate government of
each college should be by its own
faculty, but that no course of study
should be adopted or series of text
books used without the approval of
the Board of Regents. The Board of
Regents is given exclusive authority
to confer degrees and to grant diplo
mas. By legislative enactment all
meetings of the Board of Regents are
open to the public. The Board is re
quired to meet at least twice a year
From this we see that the Board

Kirby Page Speaks at Convocation on
Russian and Italian Political Life
"There are five aspects of life in
which the fascists and bolshevists
both agree," declared Kirby Page,
New York lecturer, at a Convocation
Thursday morning in the Temple, un
der the auspices of the Y. W. C. A.
"One thing that the fascists and
the bolshevists have in common is
contempt for democracy and popular
government. Mussolini's speeches are
full of contempt for popular govern
ment and democracy. Look at not
only Mussolini's words but his ac
tions. There is a king in Italy and
Mussolini is prime minister, but he
k the ruler and rules with an iron
hand."
Only one party exists in Italy, ac
cording to Mr. Page, and that party
is the potent party. "It is a crime
punishable by three or foir years in
Jail, to criticize the fascist party.
Thig party controls all of Italy. Elec
tions have been abolished and even
with the fascist party elections have
been eliminated."
"Russia has also abolished democ
racy as much as Italy," declared the
speaker, "and the Bolshevist party
is the ruler. The Bolshevist party is
the only party that is trying to keep
.down its size. There is, however, a
Senior Officers Art
Elected for Semester
Lloyd Wagner was elected vice
president of the senior class at its
meeting Thursday, November 17,
in Social Science Auditorium.
Others officers chosen to serve
during the first semester are Rich
ard Elster, treasurer, and Fred
Vette, secretary.
The advisability of renewing
the old tradition of a Junior-Senior
prom were discussed, and the
sentiment of the class seemed to
be in favor of it.
President Joe Weir presided at
the meeting. About fifty were
present.
FIRST YEAR
EAGER FOR FRAY
"Remember the Barbecue" Is
Freshman Slogan on Eve
Of Olympics Clash
"Remember the Barbeque", will be
the battle cry of the Freshman class
when they face the Sophomores in
the Olympics Saturday.
The Freshman class is indignant
over the annual Freshman Barbeque,
feeling that it did get the full benefit
of the sixty cents they spent to get
a weenie, a bun and a doughnut.
John Hedge, Freshman president
asserted that "the class spirit will be
at the highest ebb. We are going into
the Olympics with one purpose in our
minds. That is that we are going to
win."
Freshmen Confident of Victory
"We will win, of course," declared
Harold Trumbull, president of the
Green Goblins. "We are pretty well
organized and will show the Sopho
mores a good fight."
The Sophomores, however, feel
that the yearlings will have a much
harder contest this year to doff their
green caps. The Olympics of 1926
have been arranged to give the
smaller numbers of the Sophomores
a better chance to defeat the mob of
Freshmen that turn out annually.
Ramsey Chapman, president of the
Sophomore class thinks that the
Sophomores have a better chance
than in former years and states, "we
have made all possible preparations.
The teams are organized. Everything
is ready. I want to urge every sopho
more to turn out to give more com
petition than in former years."
"I think the Olympics will be fair
to both sides. The Sophomores have
a good chance to win and they will
be in there fighting." This is the
statement made by Harold Fulscher,
president of the Iron Sphinx.
May Bo Held Under Stadium
It was announced by Stanley Reiff,
chairman of the Olympics Committee
that the boxing, wrestling and relay
race will be held under the east stand
of the Stadium if the weather is very
cold. All other events will be out
doors. The Tug-of-War will probably
be run off with hoses playing in be
tween the sides. The losers will get
drenched when they are pulled into
the hose.
Ellsworth DuTeau in charge of the
relay says, "Both relay teams have
some good men it will be a close
race."
All contestants are urged to be
present in the Stadium promptly at 9
o'clock Saturday morning, as the
events will start on time.

BENEFIT PARTY
PLANS COMPLETE
Varsity Party Benefit to Send
Band to Seattle in Col
iseum 'Saturday
A live turkey will be given away
at the Band Benefit party, Saturday
night, as a part of the entertainment
features. Each ticket holder will
have a number. During intermission
a drawing will be held to decide who
will drag the turkey home. Interest
in the drawing is reaching a high
pitch, according to Don Campbell,
chairman of the ticket sale. Tickets
are being sold rapidly on account of
it .
A saxophone quartette will furnish
part of the entertainment program
The members N of the quartette in
elude the leading saxophone players
in the band. They will present sev
eral numbers during the intermission.
According to present plans there will
also be some solo numbers. It has
not yet been decided definitely which
instruments will play these.
Beck's ten-piece band will furnish
music for the dance and the mem
bers of the New York university foot
ball team have been invited to be
guests of the band. Refreshments
have been donated by Lincoln firms,
and the turkey also was donated. It
was contributed to the band cause
by Max Mozer & Co.
A final drive on the ticket sales
is being made today by the members
of the band. A canvass of the cam
pus will be made before the final
check up Saturday morning. A com
mittee from the band is calling all
fraternity houses tonight to urge
them to attend the party, not as a
charity dance but as a real all-university-mixer.
Stress is being laid
upon the fact that this is the students
last opportunity to give the team the
support that only a band can give.

worth while organization; the student
council should be given more Dower,
because it is only fair that the stu
dents have a part in the govern
ment." H. Herbert Howe, A. S., '28, Table
Rock.
"I don't think the student counc'l
does eveiyching it is supposed to do;
it should wke tteps to make and en
force an adequate rule against smok
ing on the campus The student coun
cil is not a true repiesentation of the
different colleges on the campus."

"The student council as it exist
now is much of a figure head, because
even though they rop-ne measures
that would be of baim'St to the stu

display its eastern prowess against
the Huskers Saturday afternoon in
an intersectional battle which is at
tracting national interest.
"Beat Nebraska" was the farewell
cry of New York as the Wolverine
Special carried the Varsity squad of

Riordan and Losa at the ends, Lass
man and Miller, tackles; Skudin and
Bunyan, guards; Dunn, center; Con

Alma Mater Song
By Duncan M. Cenns, '00.
I.
O grim gray Palisades, thy shadow
upon the rippling Hudson falls,
And mellow mingled tints of sunset
illumine now our classic halls;
While Btudents gather round thine
altars, with tributes of devotion
true,
And mingle merry hearts and voices
in praise of N. Y. U.

Here as the evening Bhades are fall

We gather, and the campus echoes
with laugh and shout of students
gay;
Thy sons well guarded from all sor
row, linked firm in bonds of violet
hue,
Forget the cares that come tomorrow,
and praise old N. Y. U.

But college friendships all must sever,
And fade as does the dying day,
And out in life we wend our way;
And yet wherever be life's fortune,
Tho' memory fail and friends be few,
We'll love thee still, our Alma Mater,
Our dear old N. Y. U.

BANQUET GROUP
Noted Writer and Editor Talks
At Methodist Student
Banquet Thursday
"One problem is before the world
today which must be solved if we
are to build a decent world," declar
ed Kirby Page in a talk at the Meth
odist student banquet last night be
fore 150 students at the Grand Hotel
on the subject, "The Modern Mean
ing of the Cross."
"That problem which we must face
deals with the methods of doing with
evid-doers. The world has not yet
found a satisfactory way of overcom
ing evil doers. We can look at evil
in world affairs, in industry, in every
human relation. The question must
be solved. We must find an effec
tive way of handling them.
"War Only Method"
"Modern war is the only method
we have at the present time of deal
ing with this problem. The methods
of destruction are approaching such
magnitude that we must do some
thing. Civilization is unable to meet
the evil today. It is incredible", de
clared Mr. Page, "that advanced
civilization has found anything to
do but war."
"I am a believer in religion," con
tinued the speaker, "and so let us
look at religion and see if we cannot
get some clue to solve the problem.
The problem of today was also a
problem in Jesus' day the methods
of dealing with evils.
"Return Good For Evil"
"The teachings of Jesus were that
the way to overcome evil is by doing
good. Man is inherently equipped
by nature," was the opinion of the
speaker, "because man is made in the
image and likeness of God.
"When we look at the cross of
Calvary we look at one of the most
realistic things of Jesus' life. The
tragedy of Christendom" said the
speaker, "is that few have followed
his ideals. Wars have been waged,
not only in the name of religion
but for resources, politics and con
quest. "The meaning of the Cross is the
answer and only answer to the ques
tion of how to overcome evil", con
cluded Mr. Page. "And that is by
doing good. We must have good will
and appropriate mechanism to settle
disputes. Our disputes must be
settled upon a basis of peace. We
must deal with evil by doing good."
