the atate government at the capitol
are carried on through this office. It
also has charge of all financial rela
tionships with the federal government.
The finance secretary also super
vises the expenditures for student ac
tivities. He is responsible for auditing
all tickets taken in at all athletic
events. As soon as a game is over,
the tickets are brought to the office,
counted, checked, and filed away in
steel boxes in case of arguments
where the visiting team has a percen
tage split of the gate receipts. Con
trol of the ticket taking is vested in
the finance secretary. This function
furnishes a protecting check, both to
students and to the University,
Office Very Efficient
The office is a strictly financial of
fice. And it is probably the most ef
ficient in the state. It is checked
every six months by certified public
accountants. This is the only state
department which has a certified
check of its books and records made
every six months. This check is an
all-around protection. It protects the
office from errors and criticism, pro
tects the University, the state, and
as a result, the people. It is all part
of the basic aim of the University
to serve the people of the state. Ef
ficiency in performing its duties,
which are necessary for the carrying
on of the work of the University, and
careful checking of the work done,
are the contributions of the finance
secretary's office to the University
ideal of service.
Ag Professor
Declares Germs
To Be Helpful
Not only are the great majority of
bacteria harmless, but many kinds
are extremely helpful to man, de
clared rrof. T. A. Downs of the de
partment of dairy husbandry in an
address on "Helpful and Harmless
Bacteria" which was broadcast over
KFAB from the University radio
yesterday.
"The great mass of bacteria are
continually tearing down the complex
animals and plants that have been
built up from the r.ir, water, and
soil," Professor Downs said. "If it
I were not for these bacteria the worn
out animal bodies and the dead plant
forms would remain on the surface
in the way of progress. As it is, the
bacteria and other small life tear it
down, making it available for plant
life again. The plant grows, the ani
mal eats the plant, and eventually
dies and returns to the soil. Thus the
cycle is continuous through the aid
of the invisible bacteria."
Professor Downs also spoke of the
use of bacteria in industry, espec
ially in the manufacture of dairy
products. He explained that the char
acteristic flavors of butter and the
various kinds of cheese are due to
the bacteria in them.

MUSEUM SECURES
NEW SPECIMENS
Rose Quartz from Black Hills and
Osprey Killed Near Lincoln
Are New Displays
A large specimen of rose quartz
from the Black Hills was received by
the Museum Monday. This specimen
is a large block about two feet by
one and one-half by one. Rose quartz
is gem material found only in the re
gion of the Black Hills. Much of it
is sent to China where it is cut into
beads, statuettes and various orna
ments. It is carved in a way similar
to the carving of jade.
A very fine osprey, a bird which
preys on fish, was killed on the farm
of Carl Adair northwest of Lincoln
and was also brought to the Museum
recently. It was mounted and was
put on display Tuesday morning.
With the other osprey which the Mu
seum already had, the specimen
makes an interesting display.
AG ENGINEERS WILL
MEET ON THURSDAY
Illustrated Lecture on "Soil Conser
vation" Will be Given by Stu
dents Under I. D. Wood
The Nebraska Student branch of
the American Society of Agricultural
engineers is holding a special meet
ing on Thursday evening at the Agri
cultural Engineering Building on the
Agricultural College campus.
The meeting is in the form of an
illustrated lecture on "Soil Conser
vation". The lecture will be put on
by the students under the personal
supervision of Mr. I. D. Wood, Ex
tension Agricultural Engineer, of the
University of Nebraska.
Following is the program for the
evening:
Importance and Soil Conditions
Donald Walker.
Control of Small Ditches by Brush
Dams Wayne Kinsey.
Soil Saving Dams Richard Covell.
Terracing Francis Young.
Approximately twelve thousand
students were registered in the Uni
versity of Nebraska from June, 1925,
to June, 1926. A comparison for the
present year with the past indicates
a slight increase of 119 students in
spite of the unfortunate financial
conditions in the state.
The statistics of registration in all
colleges and schools of the Univer
sity are made up on June first. Inas
much as a student may change his
registration from one college to an
other, the sum of registrations is in
excess of the actual number of reg
istrants. By deducting the repeated
names, the total number of students
is obtained. These include all, col
legiate, secondary, in residence, and
in absentia.
The errand total from June, 1925,
to June, 1926, on the above basis
amounted to 11,714. We have no way
of telling what the number for the
current year will be. It is, however,
possible to make a comparison of the
present with the previous year on the
basis of actual registrations on No
vember 15.
The collegiate enrollment on No
vember 15, 1925, was 6105. The
collegiate enrollment on the same
date of 1926 was 6124. The total en
rollment on November 15, 1925, was
8283. For the corresponding date in
the present year the enrollment was
8582.
Increase Due to Extension
The total increase is due largely
to extension. The increased registra
tion in Extens: - has been due to the
natural srrowtl. f this work and es
pecially to the fact that economic

FRESHMEN WOMEN
ASKED TO MEETING
All Those Interested in Y. W. C. A.
Work Invited to Freshmen
Commission Thursday
All Freshmen women interested in
Y. W. C. A. are invited to attend the
first Freshmen Commission meeting
of the year Thursday evening De
cember 2, in Ellen Smith Hall. Any
university woman who attends the
first meeting will automatically be
come a member of this Freshmen
organization.
Freshmen Commission has been a
branch of the Y. W. C. A. program
for eight years. It trains women for
work in the organization and enables
them to hold executive positions in
it. It will meet every Thursday eve
ning throughout the school year.
Discussions on campus problems, re
ligious themes, and matters of pres
ent day interest will be led by the
President Elizabeth Tracy.
Coeds at the Adventist College of
Walla Walla, Washington, are re
quired to wear their dresses within

this edict were sent home.
conditions in the agricultural west
have made it more difficult for stu
dents to attend the University. Hence
they have sought to continue their
studies through Extension. Many ol
these students will be in residence at
the University when times are more
prosperous.
In spite of regional crop shortage
and unsatisfactory prices, there is a
slight increase of student in resi
dence. The increase would have been
larger except for the policy of elim
inating the less desirable as inaugur
ated by the several faculties. Prob

have been back this fall if the older, I
less exacting standards had been fol
lowed. - !
The colleges and schools showing
an increase of registration are Agri
culture, the Graduate College, Tcach-
lers College, School of Fine Arts.
School of Journalism, and School of
Nursing. Most of the decreases are
caused by a change of standards for
'admission, or for remaining in the
college.
A slight draft from the general to
the specific courses, from those
termed "cultural" to those termed
"practical", is seen. Students coming
to the University at a financial sacri
fice are naturally more impressed
with the need of remunerative em
ployment after graduation. The in
clination of students to take courses
to fit them for "living", rather than
to fit them for "making a living , is
stronger in times of general prosperity.

to the splendid libraries of these or:
ganizations and their interest in col
lecting good libraries.
"The loyalty here," he added,
"Seems primarily to the f- ttrnity
and not even secondanlr to the Uni
versity. This is another great differ
ence between Yale and Nebraska."
Dr. Harwood closed by point'r.g out
the fact that both Yale and Harvard
had campuses, without unity of archi
tecture, cramped into email areas.
Methodist Students
Plan Christmas Party
The annual Christmas party given
to all Methodist students will be held
Friday night, December 8, in Ellen
Smith Hall. Each Methodist student
coming to the party has been asked
to bring some ten cent toy to put on
the Christmas tree, provided tor tne
distribution of giftf .
Christmas games and a special
skit, presented by eight men students,
will be among the entertainments ot
the evening. Refreshments in keep
ing with the holiday atmosphere will
be served.
K. U. Adopts Advisory
System For Freshmen
Lawrence, Kansas, Nov. 30.
A new freshman advisory system,
designed to give first year students
in the college of liberal arts of the
University of Kansas opportunity to
obtain further contact with the facul
ty has just been announced by Paul
B. Lawson, assistant dean of the col
lege.
All freshmen students have been
assigned to one of eight men and
seven women members of the facul
ty. These advisers will hold special
office hours for the next two weeks
to confer with students regarding
the progress they are making.
Just before the close of the semes
ter, the advisers will again hold of
fice hours to meet these students
who wish advice in the choosing of
subjects for the following semester.
These preliminary conferences are
expected to simplify the enrollment
work at the opening of the new semester.
