OF MONEY STINTS SCI Chancellor States Reason of Plea for Funds in Forum Talk ASKS $330,000 INCREASE More Funds Will Bring New Departments and Hold Best Teachers "Increased appropriations are asked by the University of Ne braska this year because as we now stand we feel a handicap in the operation of the University," said Chancellor E. A. Burnett In a talk on University finances at the) World Forum .luncheon, Wednes day noon, January 16, at the Ne braskan hotel. The Chancellor continued, "We . are unable to do many of the es sentials. The reason for this dates back to the time of the world war. There has been an increase of two thousand students or 23 per cent since the war, and an increase In appropriations of only 3 per cent. The University suffered from the financial depres sion after the war, as did the whole nation, and the increased number of students made matters even worse." Dr. Burnett pointed out that one of the plant of the University was to install a department of voca tional guidance to aid freshmen students in choosing their courses. However, lack of funds prohibits this valuable work. Frosh Nssd Guidance "Any student who really tries should be able to do University work," said the chancellor, "and we feel that the reason, or at least one reason, many freshmen are dropped each year Is because they have not become adjusted to their course or have not taken the light ConttmMl oa race t.

Hardwood Artists Get New Formations for Next Big Six Game ROUGH SPOTS WEAR OFF Grinding out a mid-week scrim mage preparing for the fast Kansas game scheduled for Saturday night, the Varsity squad last night worked out on the Coliseum court in var ious combinations. Work waa on the calendar for the practice ses sion last evening, and Coach Charles Black sent his Varsity aspirants through a long, tough drill in preparation for the Kansas quintet. Memorizing of new play ing formations, practice on passing and dribbling offense and basket tossing were emphasized in the ses sion. Coach Black used two line-ups In his scrimmage which were of equal strength, both making consistent gains in the score column due to fast passing and accurate basket shooting. Fisher, Davey, forwards. Maclay, center, Lewandowskl and Olson, guards composed one com bination while Wttte, Grace, for wards, Munn, center, Holm and Coach Black, guards, constituted the other aggregation.

Since the opening of the court season Olson has been playing baneuD basketball, guarding well besides aiding materially In the of fense. Lewandowskl and Holm have been turning out well during practice, both dependable for a good brand of basketball.

Trained Men in Departments Attend Conferences in an Effort to Keep Abreast of Business in Nebraska Editor's Note: This Is the third of a series, of articles dsal, ing with ths contact of various departments of ths University of Nebraska with ths cititens of ' the state. Ths series Is designed to describe some of ths ways in which ths departments are serv ing outstate Nebraskana, along with ths regular students instruc tional work. (By Edgar Backus) The chief duty -of the College of Business Administration, as ex plained by Dr. J. . LeRossignol, dean of the College of Business Administration, Is the training of young men and women for their future work in the business world, but the activities of the college are extended to keeping contact with outstate developments. The college faculty is composed of trained men, who are specialists in their fields. One gives his at tention chiefly to the subject of public finance, another to trans portation, others to such subjects as accounting, business organ lia tion and management, marketing, advertising, salesmanship, bank ing, insurance, Investments, labor problems, and business statistics. AU of these subjects are closely related to questions of public and private Interests, so members of the faculty are frequently invited to give addresses on such topics before chambers of commerce, clubs, churches and other organisa tions in various parts of the state. They do this in order to render service and because such work brings them into direct contact with public and private affairs. Professors Attend Conferences Members of the faculty attend numerous conferences and con ventions of business men, such as the annual and occasional meet ings of the Federation of Nebraska Retailers, the Nebraska Manufac turers' association, the Nebraska Bankers' association, the Nebraska Clothiers' association, credit men's associations, building and loan as sociations, associations of realtors, and others.

F IS Chancellor Decries Effort to Establish Educational Control Board BURNETT SAYS UNWISE Change Is Designated as Move to Centralize the School System "Changing "of the control of the University from the board of re gents to a stale board of education having Jurisdiction over both the university and the normal schools of the state would be unnecessary and unwise from the standpoint of the University," declared Chancel lor E. A, Burnett, yesterday after noon, in regard to the proposal said to be in course of preparation by the committee of education at the state legislature. The change, designed to central ize the educational system of the state, would abolish the board of regents and - the state normal boards, which has control of the four normal schools, and would substitute a state board of educa tion which would have control over both the university and the nor mals. "There is no need for a change at the present time," added the Contlaard on rare t. EARLIER THIS YEAR LeRossignol and Ferguson Notice Improvement In Enrollment CANDY DOES NOT AGREE That students are registering earlier this year than last in the general opinion of Deans O. J, Ferguson . intUlmfr .lieRossutnaL of the College of Engineering and days in the College of Engineering and Business Administration, re spectively. Dean A. L. Candy of the Arts and Science college, however, does not think the students In that college are registering as early this year as last. A total of 601 registered during the first two days last year compared to a total of 290 for the first two days this year. Friday of last year was the heaviest day of the whole registration week in that college. Registration for the first two days in the College of engineering were 203. They are not running as strong ss last year but, according to Dean Fergeuson the students are coming through more promptly. He said that they expected to get through early. By Wednesday noon, 201 had registered in the College of Busi ness Administration. That number indicates a heavier registration for the first part of the week compared to last year, and Is probably a third of the entire number which will register in that college.

To prepare "Arms and the Man" for presentation as the fourth sea sonal University Players production means a lot of work and diligent study. Actors and actresses re hearsed again last night for George Bernard Shaw's satirical epoch of the stage, typically set with "back stage" raiment. Rehearsals for University Play ers productions are Interesting, es pecially from the point of view of. Knowledge, i no spectator, oesiaes enriching his ever-growing vocabu laty, gets a glimpse of theater life behind the scenes, watches the actors and actresses who aspire to achieve the success of the Barry more family, try for clarity, expres sion and ultimate success. Love Scenes! Informal work, not the kind of work from which one expects pe cuniary reimbursement, and good humor mark the regular rehearsal of Miss Howell's dramatic proteges. From rage and anguish to frivolity and laughter within the space of a few short minutes ranges the tem perament that the successful dra matist must possess, i In "Arms and the Man," Herb Yenne, actor and Instructor in the department of dramatics, and Gret chen Meyer love in a manner that even the dark figures In the dimly lighted auditorium could appreciate. But drama Is drama and George Bernard Shaw must satisfy himself with his merry satire on love and war. To be sure, Yenne Is a Swiss army officer, but not while he shifts one set on and off the stage between scenes. His assurance and charming man ners in his Juvenile parts has given University Players a touch of the professional type of acting, that which much is often paid to see. The plot of the play is clever, espe- daily when the thirty-four year old army officer, Yenne, finds out that his lost love, Ralna, otherwise Cantlnaed on Pace 3.

Recommendations for changing the policy of holding varsity par ties aud of electing class officers constituted the principal business to come up before the Council meeting. Lack of previous notice that the meeting was to be held was the Student Council's reason for declar ing the election of minor class of ficers void.
