Not Thi is til thirteenth of of article, which Mr. Keer hat written for The Daily Nebraskan on the ae- Telopment, ideals, and adminis tration of the University. (By Munro Kezer) We have discussed two business offices of the University in the last two articles in covering the adminis trative offices of the University. To day we shall deal' with a third, the spent of student activities, discus sing also athletic administration, since the business management of University athletics is conducted from the same office as the control of fin ancial affairs of student orjaniza tions. The two positions, agent of student activities, and business manager of athletics are vested in one official, Mr. John K. Selleck. The office was organized to take care of the finances of student activities. Although it is rendering a very valuable service to the students in this function, the bulk of its work and care is now devoted to the business management of ath letics. Established to Check Funds Previous to the establishment of the office, considerable difficulty was had by the University due to failure of student organizations to pay bills due Lincoln merchants. This was largely the result of poor bookkeeping and lack of proper responsibility. The office was established in order that the University might have a check on funds taken in for any given func tion and be assured that local mer chants would be paid for the mer chandise purchased. Since then the functions of the of fice have been somewhat extended in the student activity field as well as making the agent of student activi ties business manager of athletics. All student organizations except so cial fraternities and sororities are now required to deposit their funds at the student activity office. The office has no control over how these organizations spend their money. It is concerned only with seeing that they have enough money to pay their bills. Through this office, each student organization secures the advantages of an efficient bookkeeping system which protects the officers of the or ganization, the organization itself. the University, and the creditors of the organization. Resembles Banking House Whenever a" organization has any funds, they are deposited at the stu dent activities office just as they would be deposited at a bank. The organization receives a receipt for the money and the amount of the de posit is recorded to the credit of the organization in the student activity (Continued on page 2) KLUB PLAY TO BE GIVEN TWICE Student Organizations Commit tee Authorizes "Dream" Pirate" Matinee TICKETS ON SALE MONDAY The Kosmct Klub was given per mission rnday afternoon by the Students Organizations Committee of the university to stage a matinee per formance of the "Dream rirato" Monday, December 13. Advance in terest shown in the production this year, not only by students and fac ulty members of tho university but also by Lincoln residents, convinced the Klub that one performance was not enough. Monday morning at ten, tickets will be available at the box-office of tho Orphcum theater. No tickets are to be reserved previous to this time, so that those who are early will nat urally get the best seats. Organiza tions wishing to sit together may do so because one person can secure any number of tickets. Conway Beaver and his augmented eighteen piece orchestra will play at both performances Monday. He pre sents the modern theater type of mu sic, and has probably the only theater orchestra in the state which special izes in classical jazz. Performance at Three O'clock The afternoon showing will begin at three o'clock in order that high school students, and university stu dents with two o'clocks may attend. A performance will also be given Sunday, Dec. 12, at the State Peni tentiary. Another state institution is to be visited Dec. 15. Rehearsals are occupying every possible moment of the time until the opening of the road tour at Nebraska City Friday evening, Dec. 17. Prices for the Monday matinee are 75 cents and a dollar.

Delegates Secure Con vention for Nebraska That the Student Council of the University of Nebraska is one of the leading organizations of its kind in the country is evidenced by the fact that the third annual conference of the International Federation of Student Councils will be held on the Nebraska cam pus during the first week in De cember, next year.

MID-SEMESTERS FATAL TO made by President Henry MacCrack en of Vassar College. "The study of the Liberal College," was the topic of the report made by Prof. Leon B. Richardson, of Dartmouth. Social life, activities and frater nities were named by Mr. Richard son as three of the important handi caps under which the college labors. "No one expects or desires the col lege student to become a social re cluse, but nevertheless it is a problem of the college to be on guard lest the intellectual purpose of the institu tion be completely submerged in the sea of social activity," Mr. Richard son pointed out. Discusses Fraternity Life "College fraternities," he said, "have never been free from attack, but the direction of the attack has often been at points at which they are not particularly vulnerable. The fraternity has gained in the college a place which it cannot lose. Aside from merely vested rights it does a (Continued on Page Three.)

Kingsley Will Speak I On Problem of the Negro In the North A discussion of the problems of the negro in the north will be pre sented at World Forum this Wed nesday by Rev. Harold M. Kingsley, director of the Department of Negro Work in the North under the Con- Igregational Church extension board. Secretary Hayes of the University Y. M. C. A. who arranged for Rev. Kingsley's appearance says that he comes very highly recommended as a speaker with an intimate acquain tance with one of the new problems of the times. Rev. Kinesley is a Negro and may be expected to pre sent the situation from a somewhat different attitude than is ordinarily heard here. The problem of the negro in the north is a comparatively recent prob lem having arisen within the last decade. Race riots which were for merly confined to southern cities have occurred in recent years in cit ies as far north as Chicago, showine the growth of a negro problem in the North. form, combined with the myriad shades of dresses worn by their part ners and the many formal black tux edo suits, presented an impressive sight. The Coliseum was decorated with imported Georgia Smilax, American flags, and lighted by Japanese lan terns. The corners of the ballroom were fitted with wicker chairs and davenports for tho convenience of the chaperones and sponsors. Unique programs covered in cellu loid with a Cornhusker "N" inscribed upon the cover were given for favors. Five Hundred Couples Attend Over five hundred couples attended the function and many took advan tage of the spectator offer by eainine admittance to the balcony. Mem bers of the military department be lieve this was the first time in the history of the affair that the ballroom was large enough to accomodate all who wished to attend. Music, furnished by Dornberger's Victor recording orchestra of Chi cago, with the aid of a loud-speaker amplifying system, carried well into all parts of the Coliseum. H. E.
