treBhmen and sophomore debating
teams lineup for the annual forensic
battle in Law 202. All has been ar
ranged for the regular class debates
except choosing the Judges and it is
expected that the talent to be dis

Bibly exceed that of any year previous.
The teams for the two classes are
as follows: Sophomores: It. A. Robin
son, Harriett Ashbropk, John Koehler,
(or the affirmative.
Freshmen; Reuben Clausen, L. E.
Slater, Leo Sturgeon, for the negative.
The subject for debate : "Should the
government control the Railroads," is
one of national importance and deals
directly with conditions confronting
the present administration. It is
therefore of universal interest and a
large attendance is expected at every
debate.
The Juniors have already organized
their team and promise to give the
senior representatives a good fight as
soon as the latter have formed a team.
The winners of these two dbates will
then meet to decide the class cham

READY WITH PLANS
FOR CODY CAMPAIGN
Campus Will Be Solicited To-
morrow for Fund
A QUARTER OR MORE IS KEY
Students and Professors Will Be Asked
To Give Price of Six Car Checks ...
for Soldier Baseball Equipment
Tomorrow you and your room-mate
will be asked to surrender uncondi
tionally one quarter of a dollar two-
bits, two shillings: the . price or two
narkaees of clearets at a respectable
dealer's; or any other way one might
designate the sum or equivalent or
twenty-five cents. The basis for sur
render will be that the person who
solicits you believes that you would
rather give that quarter to help a form
er Cornhusker at Camp Cody enjoy
himself at the great- American game
of baseball than you would to invest
It In a nackaKe of smocking tobacco
or a "popular-priced" matinee. The
surrender is termed unconditional De
cause this same solicitor believes
when he gives you "the once-over"
that vou are financially able to pay
out that amount from the exchequer
without depriving yourself of any or
the contemplated luxuries aforemen
tioned. ..
Tha am mint needed for the Camp
CnAv division of former Cornhuskers
and other Nebraska boys in the na-
DeminK is $250, whlcn
means that one thousand students and
professors can raise the amount by
donating a quarter apiece.
The campaign has been thoroughly
planned and few University people
will be missed in the canvass.'Whether
or not the amount is raised, then, will
depend upon whether or not Ne
braskans are willing to give a quarter
that soldiers may have baseballs,
gloves, basketballs, footballs, and
other athletic equipment which will
make their leisure time worthwhile.
University co-eds have volunteered
to take over the burden of the solicit
ing, and they will be under the direc
tion of Katharine Newbranch. The
complete list of the workers win u
run in The Nebraskan tomorrow.
The way University men are taking
to "one old cat," university co-eu
to the sunny campus benches, and
University professors to tedious lec
..,..,, u would seem that the cam-
facilitate a "merry sprlng-
time" to one little corner of a great
army training camp would De succcbb-
ful.

WILL OMIT PICTURES
Those Falling to Make Final Settle
ment Immediately to be Refused
Representation
A large number of students and
organizations of the University still
remain delinquent in their payments
for Cornhusker photos, despite the
urgent requests that have been made
by the management. A few paid for
pictures Tuesday, but there are many
more who have as yet failed to mako
the payments. If they lire not made
within the next few days, the pic
tures will be omitted entirely from
the Cornhusker, and the time spent in
taking the pictures will have been
spent for nothing. In order that the
nhotos be published it is necessary
that the final payments be made. The
deposit made at Townsends when the
pictures were taken is not sufficient,
and the remaining fee must be paid
before the pictures will be sent to the
engravers. '
All payments for Junior and senior
photos must positively be made today.
The time has been extended for the
sophomores because they have had
less, time to arrange for their pictures.
The time limit for sophomore pay
ments has been set for Friday. If
payments are not made by them, th3
work of publishing the Cornhusker
will be commenced anyway, and the
unpaid-for pictures will be left out of
the Cornhusker altogether.
In order that Ctuoems may nave
rfmiht about the matter, and so that
the delinquent students and organiza
tions may know that they nave not
been credited fcr making their pay
ment, a list is minted below of those
who have yet to v&y their fees.

AMERICA HAS SCORE TO '
- SETTLE WITH GERMANY
Prof. H. H. Wilson Says We
Must Fight to Revenge
Huns' Outrages '
"This struggle was, essentially
started by America, not in August,
1914. but- in April, 1774, at Concord
and Lexington, the first gun was fired
not by the Germans but by the minute
men." said Prof. H. H. Wilson at Con
vocation this morning. He said that
when America declared her freedom
she had thrown the gage of battle to
autocracy which It was bound to re
sent and to try to punish some day.
pconr wii?mn -answered tne
mixtion of why we are In this war
It was inevitable, although we are a
neaceful people. When President w u-
,rm nrnr-ialmerl our neutrality in 1914
he acted in accordance with the wishes
of the majority of the American peo
ple Rut he exnected that our rlgnts
would be respected. When pacifists
and pro-Germans protested against our
aonriinp arms and munltionsi to the
belligerent nations Bryan answered
that if we did not sell arms to wnicu
ovar noHr-iTwwns. able to come after
1
them we would not only be unneutral
hut w would Dut- ourselves In a post
Hon where we could not buy arm's from
any other nation ia the even of our
going to war.
Professor Wilson then reviewed the
sinking of the Lusitania, the relentless
snhmarine warfare of Germany and
the proposal she made to us about our
Rhinnine. America refused all of these
offers and entered the war because
she could riot help herself U sne
wished to keep her self-respect. And
n h concluded. IhU war will not
end until we have forced the robber
to give back his loot and avenged the
murders of our innocent citizens and
the outrages on the women and chil-

in the history of the school and prob
ably the greatest in the country star-
mo- them in the face, Coach btewan
and Captain Dusty Rhodes Issued a
call Tuesday afternoon for spring
football practice, to begin next Mon
day. Preparations for filling the
nlaces of the eleven letter men from
last fall who have already withdrawn
from school will occupy much of the
coach's time during the spring work
out. Kdson. Shaw, Ted RiddelU Hugo
Otoupalik, Ed. Kositzky "and John
Cook, the five third year men on the
1917 team were automatically lost to
the squad at the close of the Syracuse
game on Thanksgiving day. Since
that time five men who have played but
one year with the team have with
drawn. Day, Kellogg. DeTeau,
Teter and Kriemelmeyer, have
left school and are in war service or
soon will be. In addition to these
there is a possibility of losing Rhodes
and Wilder by the draft.
In spite of the great handicap oc
casioned by the loss of some valuable
material the coach hopes by hard
work to develop new stars to take the
places of the old. As a nucleus for
the 1918 team there will probably be
Rhodes, Wilder, Dobson, Schellenberg,
McMflhon, Hubka, Munn and Aathes.
Several promising candidates are
among the freshmen and should de
velop into good material.
Speed Will Feature
Whatever Nebraska may lack in ex
perienced veterans next year there
being only three third year men pos
sible, she will make up in speed. Three
of the Freshmen candidates weiga
well over two hundred pounds and
these with huskies such as Munu.
Hubka and Wilder will give plenty of
beef to the Cornhusker line. Speed
will be plentiful, as McMahon, Schel-
. m 111
lenberger, Dobson and Antnes wm bb
available in addition to a number of
speedy flr6t year men.
Coach Stewart puts mucn iann iu
cm-inir nrar.t.icA and has shown several
times that spring work develops the
men along lines that cannot De given
so much attention during the fall. The
work this year will, be light at first
and only track suits will be worn, out
later scrimmage, tackling, blocking
and open field running will be taken
up and full football armour wn. De
donned. . .
Equipment will be distributed Sat
