DPPERCLASSM EN IN CHARGE BUT
ALL WILL BE WELCOME
Joy Party in Arnr.ory Will Mark Finale
of Examination Weak and
First Semester '
There's going to be another mixer.
The University has had some big
parties this year, but the press of
exams, studies, class hops and "other,
amusements has sort of crowded out
the mixers.
This fact, brought forcibly to the
seniors attention, nan reauneu m mai
class stepping forward as the spon
' sor, progenitor and chief booster of
another mixer to be yclept the "Sen
ior Mixer," and to be held in the
irmory the night of February 3.
The upperclassmea graciously
coupled with the announcement of
their party the further announcement
that everybody would be welcome.
They simply want it called th9 senior
mixer so that the class which will
wearcheese-box and gown next-June,
will go down in history as having done
something mighty good.
No More Announcements
. This is the first and the last an
nouncement of the party that will be
made. No Nebraskan wil be pub
lished during examination and regis
tration week, so this is the first and
last invitation.
This fact makes a complete descrip
tion of the program Impossible at this
time. Dancing there will be, refresh
ments, and some other good things.
But who hasn't been to a mixer,
and who hasn't had the good times
there?

TRESTER MAKES
REPLHO JENSEN
DEFINES HIS UNDERSTANDING OF
"UNFAIR TREATMENT"
3
Declares Church That Is the Center
of Extreme Pacifism Is Not the
Place to Attract Students
L. W. Trester, president' of the or
ganization of students who believe
that it would be a grave mistake to
do away with military drill "at the Uni
versity, yesterday defined his under
standing of what is meant by "unfair
treatment," he having accused Anton
Jensen and his pacifist cohorts of that.
In an article submitted to The Ne
braskan, Trester said that to take a
discussion of the question to a church
that was known to be the center of
extreme pacifism, was the surest way
to" "pack" an audience. . -
Then be accepted the challenge of
the pacifists to a debate at or near
the campus, about February 10.
The Statement
The statement follows:
' To say the least Mr. Jensen does
not put it mildly when be says that T
"must either put up or shut up." In
answer to. the "paid faculty" charge,
I will say that the one on the Uni
versity payroll whom you mention has
been openly and notoriously connect
ed with the movement from the very
beginning. The article accredited to
Mr. Jensen states that there will be
others. Hence, if our statement was
in accurate, it was because we com
mitted the error of falling to under
stand what was mean by "prominent
University men." The statement was
universally taken, about the campus,
to men faculty members.
In answer to Mr. Jensen's reply to
our charge of "unfair treatment," it
may be said that the best way to pack
an audience is to take the meeting
Into territory, favorable to your point
of view. To be sure everyone was in
vited, but many expressed their re
luctance to attend a meeting held In
a church in which the pastor is so
clearly Identified with extreme pacif
ism. In order to 1iave held a perfect
ly fair delate it should have been
held in or near the campus, and so
have been accessible to all the stu
dents. Tbey further charge that we are
seeking "to becloud the issue," and
again they state "we are In favor of
military defense or somo kind." So
far the opposition havo failed to show
absolutely what they really are fight
ing for and thus have laid themselves
open to a charge of Inconsistency. If
they are In favor of military defense
of "some kind" and sUll are opposed

T. A. Williams Declares Single
Tax To Be A Good Thing
T. A. Williams, agent of student
activities, having been requested
to express his opinions on the single
tax, yesterday submitted the follow
ing: The paramount issue before the
University student at this time is the
question of single tax. Every student
should be asking himself and his fel
low students the question, "Is it a
good thing ?"
I think Dean Engberg had made a
very wise move In having the matter
voted on at registration time, where
every student will have the opportun
ity of expressing his or her views
on the matter.
Every student should feel It his or
her duty to vote on this question as It
certainly "touches" every student.
The single tax will be a great im
provement in the student financial
plan at the University of Nebraska,
besides placing the different activities
ZUMWINKEL INNOCENT
TO SUCCEED GARRETT
ACTIVE MEMBER OF BODY TWO
YEARS AGO AGAIN GIVEN PEACE
Garrett, President, Graduates This Se
mester, and Leaves School to
Go to Buffalo, N. Y.
Otto H. Zumwinkel, an active mem
ber of the Innocents, the senior hon
orary organization, has been again
elected to that body, to succeed Mel
Tin M. Garrett who graduates this
semester. Garrett will leave Lincoln
this coming week and go to Buffalo,
N.'Y., to begin his work In engineer
ing. The new Innocent was captain of
the track team in his senior year. Al
though he is not carrying full Uni
versity work, he Is a regularly enrolled
student, and eligible to the body. The
Innocents' constitution provides that
when a vacancy occurs, an alumnus
member of the organization, still reg
istered in the University, shall be
elected to take the place. .
Garrett was president of the Inno
cents. A new president was elected,
but the Innocents. have not given out
who be is.
This is the second vacancy to be
filled this year. Homer G. Hewitt hav
ing been elected to take the place of
Axel Swenson, who did not return to
school. The serious illness of Jack
Elliott, and the improbability of his
returning to school this year will make
a third vacancy that may be filled
soon.
to the form which we now have In the
University It would certainly help to
clear up the Issue if they would state
clearly and concisely what they are
attempting to accomplish.
If the opposition wish to debate the
Issue on or about February 10, at a
place In or near the campus we will
accept their challenge.

Color Experts Enlisted. To
Aid Red-Haired Decisions
To all appearances. Miss Amy Arm
strong, graduate student and mem
ber of Phi Beta Kappa, has been
called upon to assist the "eligibility
Judges" for the coming dinner of the
red haired. In a tableau viewed by a
reporter, a candidate was standing
with bared head, and a hopeful smile
upon her face, while her auburn-haired
"Judges' consulted with Miss Arm
strong. When the reported asked what Miss
Armstrong, a marked brunette, not
even a "near," might have to do with
the projected "dinner of the brick
tops." the answer was, ' "Don't
enumerated in The Daily Nebraskan
on an absolute financial basis, it will
effect the greater result of interest
ing every student in these various
activities. Which is nothing moro
than college spirit ,
"Where one has something invested
one is bound to be interested." This
is a business phrase. - For instance,
get someone to invest in a business
enterprise and he at once becomes
Interested In that proposition and will
work and boost to make It a success.
In the past I have been asked by
parents In regard to necessary ex
penses of the studenfattendlng the
University, and in making the esti
mate, I have always put in a liberal
allowance for strident activities. I feel
sure that there will be no objection
from the parents where the matter
has been laid before them in the right
light.

THRILLS PROMISED -FOR
SATURDAY NIGHT
WESLEYAN COYOTES AND CORN
HUSKERS WILL CLASH
Line-up of H inkers Still in Doubt
Coach Stewart Hopes Nebraska
Will Land on Top
Wesleyan is coming.
Next Saturday night on the Armory
floor the Cornhuskers will battle the
Coyotes in what promises to be one
of the most thrilling basketball games
seen on the local floor in years.
The Methodists are confident of vic
tory, believing that their period of
basketball prosperity has not yet end
ed. They have a strong team this
year as usual and will not go down
to defeat unless forced to do so by a
much better team.
The Nebraska authorities are very
doubtful of victory and will be thank
ful for a very slight margin in the
Cornhusker's favor if such a margin
can be found at the end of the game.
The line-up of the two teams is very
doubtful pi orf sent, especially that of
the .Corahuskcrs. The showing of the
men In the last two practices will
have much to do with who will start
the game Saturday night
The possible , line-up:
Nebraska Wesleyan
Campbell-Pickett . .f Anderson
Jackson Flothow .f -Grubb
Jackpon-Flotbow . .f Grubb
Nelson-Flynn c Grubb

son could we consult?" The reporter
was silenced.
It is said that already the candidates
who have passed the Judging commit
tee, Melba Qulglcy, Eva Miller and
Elizabeth Brown, number more than
twenty. Some comment has been
heard as to the consistency of hav
ing a "Brown" on the Judging com

Judge say that there Is no doubt as
to th3 validity of the selection. '
NEW' FACULTY RULE
ON REQUIREMENTS
TWO . SEMESTERS WORK IN A
"group subject NEEDED
Amount of Work That May Be Taken
in a Given Department .In-'
creased to 45 Hours
Two semester's work In a group
subject that is a requirement for grad
uation must be completed for accept
ance of any credit in the subject to
ward graduation, according to a ruling
recently adopted by the faculty of the
arts and sciences college.
This simply means that a student
who registers, for example, for five
hours of French the first semester,
and then drops it before completing
his second semester's work for ten
hours, cannot apply the five hours as
credit in a group requirement for
graduation.
In other words, every required sub
ject the freshman takes up must be
completed for two full semesters, or
It will not count at all for the degree.
- Faculty Favored Rule
Many of the faculty have been anx
ious to have the rule adopted for some
time, just to save the students from
themselves. Among the principal mov
ers for the rule in the past few years
has been Miss Clara Conklin, head
of the department of romance lan
guages. During vacation Miss Conk
lin saw the committee, secured the'
help of other members of the faculty,
and the rule was adopted.
As officially worded, it is as follows:
To the Faculty of the College of
Arts and Sciences:
At a meeting of the Course of
Study committee the following changes
were recommended to the faculty:
"That the -Irst semester's work in
any foreign language" and in any
subject in the group requirements
shall not count towards graduation
until the second semester's work in
that-subject is completed.
That the present rule limiting the
amount of undergraduate credit in any
one department to forty hours be in
creased to forty-five hours. (Signed)

Secretary.

SINGLE TAa UP
FORJINAL VOTE
LONG AGITATED QUESTION TO BE
DECIDED NEXT WEEK
Every Student Will Be Given Chance
to Vote His Wishes Move
ment Expected to Carry
The single tax, agitated for many
years at Nebraska University, will be
finally decided next, week, when, as
a part of their registration, each stu
dent will be asked to express his own
and his parents' views on the propo
sition. The tax has been clearly defined,
and there is no misunderstanding of
its terms. It calls for a compulsory
tax of $3.50 a semester upon each stu
dent registered for twelve hours or
more, unless financial inability or oth
er good reason can be advanced as
an excuse.
By paying the tax the student auto
matically gains admission to all gen
eral student activities, a subscription
to The Dally Nebraskan, and freoi
medical supervision. He has no other
costs to pay for these events.
That Is to say, he will be admitted
to these things:
Everv home football game.
Every home basketball game.
Every home baseball game.
Every home track meet.
Every home gymnastic exhibition.
Every home wrestling event
Every home girls' athletic event.
Every home debate.
Every play by the school of drama.
The senior class play.
The Junior class play.
Every mixer.
