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

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.
A telegram received at the
Daily Nebraskan office early Sun

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

Sixty-Four Students Dropped
From School When Mid
Term Reports Made
MEN OUTNUMBER WOMEN
The official mid-semester report
from the office of the Dean show that
sixty-four students were dropped
from the University after the mid
semester reports were turned in from
the colleges. The men students pre
dominated in the number that were
dropped from the various colleges on
account of poor scholarship, only
eight being women and fifty-six men.
There are 6,105 students registered
and 1,297 of this number were re
ported delinquent in one or more sub
jects at the end of the mid-semester,
thus giving a delinquent percentage
of 21.8. There are students enrolled
in 32,340 subjects and out of this
number 2,306 were reported delin
quent giving a per cent of 7.1.
Men students down in two fifths of
their registered hours numbered 201,
while the woman's department turned
in 32 down in two-fifths of their reg
istered hours, thus giving a total of
233 students delinquent. There were

COLORED MINISTER
TO ADDRESS FORUM
Rev. Harold M. 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. BRADFORD GOES TO
NATIONAL CONVENTION
Prof. H. E. Bradford, chairman of
the department of vocational educa
tion, attended the national meeting
of the American Vocational Associa
tion in Louisville, Ky., last week. He
will return late this week.
