Dean Warns Against
Poor Administration
Student (Government Must Improve
Or Go, Bradshaw Tells Legislature
By Hayden arruth
The student body at the University must lect the best officers
and the best government this year- that the college can offer or
resign themselves to serious curtailment or cessation of student
government. Student democracy meets ;
its crisis now."
Dean F. F. Bradshaw, dean of stu
dents, spoke these words at the meet
ing of the Student legislature this
week.
Quibbling Over
"Quick action symbolizes the entire
mode of administration today and stu
dent government is no exception. The
time of quibbling over minor budget
adjustments is past; capable, quick
thinking officers must today deter
mine policy and instigate administra
tive changes with no time lost," he
said.
"Students who will seriously face the
problems that confront a university
student body during war time are es
sential. Politics must be subordinated
to quality," the Dean stated. "Now is
the time to think about next yeas and
anticipate severe problems. Any or
ganization that is inefficient must go;
it has happened and is happening in
all other phases of American life; the
University must be no exception," he
added.
Dean Bradshaw also announced that
a survey of student opinion would be
made concerning the University cal
endar, probably some time next week.

ams ahead by eliminating or cutting

Three textbooks by members of the
University Mathematics department,
which have just been published, are
attracting much favorable attention
and are being adopted as texts by col
leges and universities throughout the
country.
In an effort to improve teaching
conditions and secure the type of text
books specifically needed in classes
here, members of the staff have pre
pared standard work for the approxi
mately 1,000 students who annually
take first-year mathematics.
Those recently published are "Di
mension Theory" by Dr. Witold Hure-
wicz and Dr. Henry Wallman, publish
ed by the Princeton University Press,
which is described as a particularly
timely study of spaces of varying or
ders of dimensionality; "Modern High
er Plane Geometry," (Christopher
Publishing House, Boston), by Dr. Ar
thur S. Winsor, a subject efficiently
taught by Dr. Winsor to large classes,
and "Brief Trigonometry," Reynal and
Hitchcock, New York, by Dr. Edward
A. Cameron, which is said to present
the essentials of plane trigonometry in
a lucid and readable manner.

the money originally voted for keys for

The money will be equally divided

members of the various women's gov

The Senate also approved the final

interest in student government. The
money will come from the WGA surplus
and the first award will be made on
