BURSAR SAYS
FEES NOT TO
BE INCREASED
Rumor Unfounded as to Prob-

ACTION IS YET UNDECIDED 1
Rrtard Considers Advisability
B Of Raising Fees 1928
Summer Session
"Contrary to the rumor which I
understand is prevalent on the cam
pus, there will be no increase of reg
istration fees this coming semester,"
announced L. E. Gunderson, bursar
of the board of regents, late yester
day. "The finance board has considered
the advisibility of raising fees at the
beginning of the first summer ses
sion of 1928," Mr. Gunderson
stated, "but as yet nothing specific
has been decided about the matter.
There will, however, be no increase
of fees next semester."
The board of regents announced
in October that students' fees must
be raised, and that Acting Chancel
lor fJurnett declared at that time
that the university was going bank
rupt. A committee apointed in October
to investigate the question of stu
dent fees with the Intention of in
creasing them to help the university
meet its pressing need of additional
finances, discovered that fees at the
University of Nebraska were com
paratively low.
Mr. Gunderson's statement is in
tended to answer the question in the
minds of many university students,
as to whether or not the increase of
fees would likely become effective
next semester.

DEBATERS TO
BEGIN WORK
Government Interference
Rights of Individual to
Be Discussed
in
TWO SCHOOLS ARE SLATED
Both the affirmative and the nega
tive debating team will begin work
on the question, "This house deplores
the tendency of the government to
interfere in the rights of individuals"
immediately after the close of Christ
mas vacation, Prof. H. A. White,
debate coach, announced.
Six men for the two teams and two
alternates were chosen in the try
outs held Monday afternoon. The
men who won in the tryouts have not
yet been placed on teams, and will
probably be placed according to their
belief on the subject, or in a way to
better proportion the teams, Profes
sor White pointed out.
At present two schools are on the
Nebraska slate, and it is probable
that several others will be added be
fore the close of the season. The
question which will be debated, how

in the Valley standings.

'Dumb Dora9 is Ready to Take Place
In Morrill Hall Museum Exhibition
By Beulah Montgomery
"Dumb D r&" is about ready to
take her dace among the exhibits
in the museum. "Dora," as her cre
ator, Miss LaVada Zutter has chris
tened her, because she looks so
dumb, is a baby rhinocers. She and
her parents will form a group in one
of the cases on the northeast corner
of the first floor of Morrill Hall.
"Dora" is a full form figure, but
her parents are made in relief. The
work of modelling these animals has
been done by Miss Zutter. A clay
model is first made. From this a
plaster of paris negative is taken. A
positive cast of plaster of paris or
papier-mache is made from this ne
gative. The figures are then painted
in life colors. i
The rhinocers group is being as
sembled by Mr. Edwin H. Colbert, a
senior in the University. The male
rhinocers stands back from the front
of the case. The fossil remains of a
male rhinocers are set up in front of
the cast and fastened to it. These
bones come from the excavations at
Agate, Sioux County, Nebraska. This
type of rhH'cers is known by trie

Delegates to National Student

ciation of Work
DEAN HEPPNER THANKED
Cooperation from Members of
Faculty Is Especially Com
mented Upon by Group
The Nebraska Student .Council,
the members of the faculty, Dean
Amanda Heppner and the Nebraska
student body have received the high
st praise from the delegates attend
ing the third annual convention of
the National Student Federation of
America, according to a letter of
thanks received by the local confer
ence chairman.
"The hospitality shown by the
Nebraska student body," the letter
of appreciation stated, "was an out
standing thing at the conference. It
is with the deepest sincerity that the
body of delegates wish, as a group,
to express their appreciation to Ne
braska students who gave their
homes, to the Student Council and
university faculty who aided in the
conference."
"It was a pleasure," the letter
continued, "to meet with Miss Aman
da Heppner and her hospitality and
cooperation was outstanding. We
wish to thank her.
"We could not have wished for
better circumstances or conditions
under which to hold the conference.
The Nebraska people have stamped a
most favorable impression on far
east as well as far west."
The conference meetings closed
here Saturday evening with some two
hundred delegates from all over the
world in attendance.
Miss Marvin Breckinridge of Vas
aar college, retiring president left

of the third annual conference finish
ed all remaining details in closing the

Children Will
Be Given Party
By Elks Club
The University Coliseum will be
the scene of excitement Christmas
morning when the Elks of Lincoln,
continuing a custom begun more
than twenty years ago, will provide
Christmas entertainment and treats
for the children of Lincoln.
In the past, with the exception of
the first two or three years, the city
auditorium has been used for this
purpose, but as the building is no
longer available or suitable, the
Coliseum on the University campus
has been secured. Due to the size of
the auditorium, it has been necessary
in the past to limit the affair to
children. There will be, however,
plenty of seats in the balcony of the
Coliseum for any adults who care to
attend.
The doors of the Coliseum will be
open at 8:00 o'clock and the cnter-
tainment will begin an hour later,
technical name of Dicertherium, a
species which i snow extinct. This
species has two horns set side by side
on its nose, while the two-horned
rhinocers of the present age has its
horns set one before the other.
The bab-f rhinoceros will stand in
front of the male. Near her will be
placed a fossil snapping turtle, about
which she seems very curious. Dr.
E. H. Barbour, curator of the mus
eum, says "Dora" may get her cur
iosity satisfied before she thinks she
will, if she gets too close to the tur
tle. But "Dora" appears to be having
the time of her life as she thinks she
has found a new playmate.
The female rhinoceros will stand
a little behind "Dora", wondering
what she wall do to save "Dora". She
has her ears laid back, and appears
to be in deep thought, or, as Miss
Zutter says, "she is in as deep
thought as such a brainless thing
could be."
The background for the group re
sembles the scenery of the place
where the fossil remains are found.
It was painted by Miss Elizabeth
Dolan.
