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 GOSPEL TEAM GOES T0 FREMONT Ten Men From University Y. M. C. A.

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. L. W. TRESTER. 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. T. A. WILLIAMS. 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 Wertz .g Fetz Gardiner-Riddel! .g Cozier DAILY NEBRASKAN WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED EXAMINATION WEEK The Daily Nebraskan, with this issue, suspends publication for the first semester. No issues will be put out next week, the week of final ex aminations and of registration. The you understand? Miss Armstrong is color-expert for Dr. Wolfe, In the psychological laboratory. She directs all the work In the adjustment of shades and tints. What belter per 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 mittee; but those who know this 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) JAS. T.
