in the last article we discussed the
de n of men's office and its relat.on
to then of women pointing out
It its purpose was to aid and pro
2 he student. In this article, we
l dcuss the functions of tly.
den of women's office.
0 . j t women holds a paral-
Id position to that of the dean of
Jen, dealing with the girls instead
3 the nen. But in the scope of its
"ork and the method of carrying it
it U eiy different, sufficiently
n'to iu n separate article, tell
ing of tr - f the office of the
dean of "en' ,
The aim of the dean of women s
office, as expressed by Miss Amanda
Heppner, is to help the grls of the
University to reach their fullest self
realization. The dean of women is
not the only official on the campus
working toward this end of course.
AH the teaching staff is interested in
encouraging scholarship. But the
dean of women has a broader con
ception of individual development
than scholarship alone. She has two
aims in particular. She tries to keep
the girls going toward a well-rounded
development and seeks to protect the
girls' scholarship and health.
Home Standard.
On the dean "of women falls the
responsibility for maintaining, among
the girls, the same standards that
would be maintained at home. In a
few cases, it is necessary to demand
higher standards when the home stan
dards fall below tb6se of the Uni
versity. There is no intention, in any
of the University re ilations, of un
justly or unnecessarily restricting
the girls. The University, however, is
forced to demand the maintenance
of certain standards in order to pro
tect both co-eds and University from
criticism.
One of the biggest problems in
maintaining suitable standards is the
housing problem. The regents have
passed rulings prohibiting women
students from rooming in the same
house with men roomers and also
against rooming in apartments unless
with their own family or other close
relatives. Otherwise, most of the
housing problem is handled by Miss
Elsie Piper, who has charge of the
housing bureau.
Through the housing bureau, con
tinual observation is made of houses
where girls room or wish to room to
see that proper standards are main
tained. The housing bureau attempts
to standardize standards, equipment,
and prices. It thus renders a valuable
service to the girls of the University.
It handles any problems arising be
tween the students and their land
ladies, thus removing sources of fric
tion and trouble for the girls.
Homing Bureau
The housing bureau attempts to
secure and maintain for the girls an
environment which will be suitable
for Btudy. It is a bureau of service
and aid to the students, protecting
them from exorbitant prices, insur
ing suitable conditions for study and
rest, and adjusting difficulties that
arise.
Much of the maintenance of suit
able standards is carried on through
the cooperation of the girls them
selves. Each sorority house and dor
mitory where girls room has a house
president as well as house mother.

CLAPP GOES TO
STATE MEETING
Professor of Physical Education
Organize. Wrestling League
For High School.
Doctor R. G. Clapp. professor of
physical education, recently at
tended the State Teachers' Conven
tion at McCook, Nebraska. While
there he organized a wrestling league
for the high schools in the southern
part of the state.
The nuroose of this league is to
stimulate interest in wrestling in the
state hieh schools. This means that
among the youths coming to the Uni
versity there will be many who will
have learned the fundamentals of
wreatline. that the material for var
sity teams will be much greater, and
of higher caliber.
Dr. Clapp plans to organize similar
leagues in other parts of the state.
Any school can have such a confer
ence, but the conferences are gener
ally to include from ten to twelve
different schools.

ZEININGERTALKS
TO JOURNALISTS
Philippine Islands and News
paper Work in Orient Are
Topics of Address
Charles Russell Zeininger, field rep
resentative of the United Press,
spoke to the students of the School
of Journalism Tuesday morning at
11 o'clock, on "Newspaper Work in
the Philippine Islands." For the past
seventeen years Mr. Zeininger has
been with The Manila Bulletin, the
largest newspaper in the Orient, and
has been in the United States only a
few months before his visit to Ne
braska. Mr. Zeininger discussed the history
of the Island, relating the nature of
the different classes of Filipinos. He
laid emphasis on the fact that the
United States could never give the
Island their independence, but it
could withdraw and leave them to
"paddle their own canoe."
World Wide Reputation
"It is no secret," declared Mr,
Zeininger, "that American journal
ism is world wide in reputation."
"Get the other fellow's point of
view is a sound maxim in any line of
business," is this famed journalist's
recommendation for keeping the na
tions at peace.
Mr. Zeininger gave a brief outline
of the government in the Philippines
and told how it functioned. He re
lated the history of the Island, citing
incidents of the Spanish-American
war. He described the political situa
tion and declared that there was no
danger of any Eastern power invad
ing the Island as long as the Ameri
can flag waved over it
SOPHOMORES TO
ARGDE FRESHMEN
Tryouts for Teams Will be
On December 14; White
Will Take Charge
Trvouts for the freshman-sopho
more debating teams will be held at
4 o'clock on December 14. The place
will be announced later. This tryout
is open to all freshmen and sopho
mores interested in the class competi
tion for the debating honors.
The question "Our jury system in
criminal trial should be revised," is
the one on which the two classes will
clash for supremacy. This will give
the defeated sophomores a chance to
get back at the freshman class for
their defeat in the Olympics.
Seven-Minute Speeches
Tryout speeches will be seven min
utes long, and will contain both the
main speech and the rebuttal. Mater
ial bearing on the question can be
found on the reserve- shelf in the
library. The exact place of the try
outs has not been designed yet, but
will be announced later.
Those wishing further particulars
concerning the tryouts can obtain
them from Professor White. Each
contestant is to do his own work and
is to receive no outside help in pre
paration for the tryout.
Previous to last year, this debate
was an annual affair. Two years ago
the freshmen won the debate by a
decisive score.

DEBATERS WILL
BEGIN SEASON'S
WORK MONDAY
Interested Students Asked To
Report; Professor White
In Charge
AN EXTENSIVE PROGRAM
Kansas Aggies, South Dakota,
And Grinnell Arranged;
Others Pending
A call for all students intending
to be candidates for Nebraska's de
bating teams this year to report at
the University debate seminary, Uni
versity Hall 106, at 3 p. m. Monday,
November 29, was issued yesterday
by Prof. Adelbert White, who has
charge of the debating work this
year, succeeding the late Prof. M. M.
Fogg.
The debate program for the year
is not yet definite, but will be con
siderably more extensive than it has
been for several years. Debates
with Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege, University of South Dakota,
and Grinnell have already been ar
ranged and others are pending. Pro
fessor White states that a definite
date for tryouts has not been set but
that he hopes to hold them about
the middle of December.
Two Question.
Two questions are to be used this
year. Professor White hopes to be
able to use twelve or fifteen men in
the intercollegiate debates. Nebras
ka will take the affirmative of the
question: "Resolved: That the cabi
net form of government should be
adopted in the United States"
against the University of-. South Da
kota here the third week in January.
The question which will probably
be used more, is: "Resolved: That
the essentials of the McNary-Haugen
bill should be enacted by Congress."
Nebraska will meet Kansas Aggies
here about the third week in Febru
ary on this subject, and-will meet
Grinnell on the same subject some
time in February or March. Refer
ence material for these questions
will be reserved in the University
library this week.
Two Team. Meet
Arrangements for having two
teams from Nebraska meet two teams
from each of these schools on op
posite sides of the question instead
of just having the one debate, are
being considered. Attempts are
being made to schedule several other
debates on this year's program. For
several years, Nebraska has had but
two debates a year, one with South
Dakota and one with the University
of Iowa. The debates this year will
be continued on the no-decision basis
which has been followed by Nebras
ka teams for several years.
MISS WILLIAMS
TELLS OF CHINA
Student Mevement Discussed
Tuesday Afternoon at
Vespers Service
"The Chinese Student Movement"
was discussed by Ethel Jay Williams,
secretary of religious education of
the city Y. W. C. A. at Vespers Tues
day afternoon. Miss Williams work
ed in China under Grace Coppock for
five years.
The Grace Coppock staff had
charge of Vespers. The meeting was
lead by Marjorie Sturdevant. Alice
Etting sang a Chinese Lullaby and
Lola Eberly playing the piano ac
companiment. "Scholars enjoy the highest rank
of society in China," said Miss Wil
liams. "Next in order of their im
portance come the farmers, the arti
sans, traders, and in the lowest rank,
the soldiers.
Take Responsibility
"Students have always borne the
burden of responsibility of the wel
fare of their nation. Illiterate peo
ple form the bulk of the nation's
population. The appeal to the need
of social service workers has always
been accepted by the students. They
are now endeavoring to extend
education to the common people and
thereby obtain an intelligent public
mind.
"Unfair treatment by foreign
powers has been abolished, to a great
extent, due to the untiring efforts
of the students. In 1919 and 1925,
revolts by united students resulted
in fair treeatment for China. Chinese
national consciousness was realized
on these dates."
Examine Candidate.
An examination of candidates for
the title of certified public accoun
tant was held at the University of
Kansas two days last week. The
examination was given under the su
pervision of Frank Stockton, dean of
the school of business of the University.

CHORUSAPPEARS
IN OPERA FAUST
Presentation Is Effective;
Pan-Hellenic Awards
Are Announced
Effective singing by the five solo
ists combined with skillful work by
the rest of the University chorus to
make the repetition of Gounod's
Faust yesterday morning at the an
nual Thanksgiving Convocation in the
Armory one of the musical events of
the year.
Announcements of the Pan-Hellenic
scholarships were also made.
Seven hundred students, faculty
members, and towns-people made an
appreciative audience for the produc
tion. An eighteen-piece orchestra
conducted by Mrs. Carrie B. Ray
mond, director of the chorus, accom
panied the opera.
Impressive
From the first selection, "The Stars
Grow Pale", when Faust is weary of
life and desirous of regaining his
youth, till the final chorus, "Re
deemed, Christ is Risen", when Mar
guerite is set free, the opera was im
pressive and powerful.
Leading parts were sung by Carl
S. Schaefer as Faust; Hermann T.
Decker as Mephistopheles; Oscar
Bennett as Valentine; Harriet Cruise
Kemmer as Marguerite; and Sylvia
Cole as Siebel.
Daily Nebraskan
Inquiring Reporter
Every day he ask. a question from
different students picked at random
on the campus.
Today'. Questioni What do you
think about surprise quizzes?
Asked at different place, on the
campus.
Donald William., Eng., '30, Omaha.
"A surprise quiz gives the instruc
tor a chance to make a fair judgment
of the student s ability to remember
what he has been given."
W. B. Kenagy, A. S., '28, Beatrice.
"I do not believe in surprise quiz
zes, they are not fair to the student."
Marjorie Hall, T. C, 29, Lincoln.
"A surprise quiz is unfair to the
student. When he is taken unaware
he is nervous and is not able to write
all that he knows, and does not do
as good as he would ordinarily do."
Edwin Hanson, A. S., '30, Manning;.
"They are alright but the resulting
grade is usually not so good. I don't
think that this gives a fair estimation
of the student's knowledge of the
course."
Homer Marshall, Bizad, '30, Ft.
Worth, Tex.
"A surprise quiz doesn't give a
fellow a fair chance, although it will
show whether a student is keeping
up with his work or not."
Mrs. Irene Prercott, A. S., '27, Lin
coln. "A surprise quiz is not fair to the
student, and gives one the impres
sion that all he is taking the course
for is to remember mere facts. It
also produces nervousness in the stu
dent which is not seducive to good
work."
Ivan Hall, A. S., '29, Neligh.
"I am not in favor of any kind
of quizzes, and especially not a sur
prise one. A person is thrown off
balance when a surprise quiz is given
and is not able to give a true rep
resentation of his knowledge of the
course."
Harold Marks, A. S., '28, Alexandria.
"I don't mind them so much; I
guess quite a little and generally
come out pretty lucky."

GREEK PARTIES
Passes Motion Asking Help
In Improving Varsity
Dances
WANT GOOD ATTENDANCE
Students Should Not Miss
Classes Today and
Next Monday
To make the Varsity Dances more
representative of the student body,
and to assure their success, the Stu
dent Council at a meeting held Tues
day afternoon in the Temple, passed
a motion to the effect that a recom
mendation bo sent to the committee
on student organization asking that
a measure be passed prohibiting so
cial organizations in the future from
scheduling parties on Varsity Dance
evenings. All parties now scheduled
will not be affected.
The Varsity Dance Committee will
be asked t post a complete list of
their party dates, and such a list for
the following year will be asked for
in the spring of this year.
This rule, the Council pointed out,
will apply to all formals not already
scheduled, all house dances and
spring parties.
Attend Classes
Other matters considered at the
meeting were the request for stu
dents to attend their Wednesday and
Monday classes according to their
respective schedules, and the sugges
tion that a general survey of student
representation on Athletic boards of
other universities be made. The dele
gates from the Nebraska Council will
be present at the International Fed
erated Student Council Conference
at Ann Arbor, Michigan, December
2, 3, and 4, are to make a careful
survey of all problems relative to
those present on the Nebraska cam
pus and report them at next Student
Council meeting.
Regular Council meetings will be
held every two weeks starting with
January 5, and the rule made at the
last meeting in regard to absences
will be enforced.
RELIEF DRIVE
IS DISCUSSED
Presidents of Fraternities And
Sororities Consider Near
East Aid Plans
A meeting of fraternity and soror
ity presidents was held in the Temple
auditorium, Tuesday noon, to consid
er supporting the Near East Relief
drive which is now being held.
Robert Davenport opened the
meeting by saying that the purpose
was to bring the attention of fra
ternity and sorority presidents to the
drive, and to the observance of Gold
en Rule Sunday, December 5. The
idea is for the houses to serve a
simpler meal on this day, turning the
difference between its cost and that
of the regular meal, over to the N'ear
East Relief fund.
Work for Drive
Several teams are working for the
drive, visiting all houses and present
ing the plan to them. It was felt
that if the presidents kneW about the
movement they could discuss the
matter with their groups, and have
their decision ready by the time the
teams call. So far, every group that
has been talked to has approved the
plan, and agreed to observe it.
Chancellor Avery gave his hearty
support to the plan saying, "I am
very glad to add a word about my
approval of the plan. It is a flue
thing to realize how others live, and
to think of their problems." The
Chancellor said that this will be a
splendid thing for the starving peo
ple of the Near East, as well as hav
ing a desirable reflex action on the
students from the altruistic point of
view. He emphasized the fact that
some human lives of tremendous im
portance to the race may be salvaged
by saving the lives of these oriental
children.
California Professor

Prof. Derrick N. Lehmer, '95.
professor of mathematics at the Uni
versity of California, has published
recently a considerable number of
songs based upon the music of the
Pacific coast Indians. Due to the
quality of his work, he has been com
missioned to write the music for a
large historical pageant given by the
University at Bozeman, Montana.
Kansas Women Arm Penalized
Two women students of the Uni
versity of Kansas have been penal
ized failing grades in ten and five
hours respectively, for withdrawing
reserved library books from the
building and keeping them from use
by classmates for two and three
