DEAN BUCK TELLS
F INDIA'S PEOPLE
Addresses International Relations
Club at First Open .Meeting
Before Large Audience.
"India is a bundle of nations ot
people, criss-crossed by differences.
It is not a nation. The national
spirit is Just now showing the first
signs of arising. Hitherto, it has
been no more of a nation than
Europe has been a nation." These
were the statements made by Dean
P. M. Buck of the Arts and Science
College at an open meeting of the
International Relations Club In the
auditorium of Social Science Hall,
Wednesday evening, before a large
audience of students.
The theme of Dean Buck's address
on "India" was summed up by the
words: "A counrty the least under
stood of any other country, yet hav
ing within it a culture and a literature
approximating that of the Greeks in
some respects is India."
"The literature of India is very old
and draws its beauty from a culture
established many years berore the
birth of Christ. The India or today
is divided by the hard 'and fast lines
of caste. Twenty-five per cent or the
Indian women die as a result of too
early marriage. Only six per cent ot
the girls can go to school.
Multitude of Illiterate.
"The Illiterate in India." continued
the Dean, "number one hundred and
fifty million and they live in almost
absolute seclusion from the" rest of
the world. Compulsory education has
railed because native members vetoed
It The new constitution, now being
voted on, will perhaps famish basis

PRESIDENT WILSON
GIVEN MEMORIAL
Parchment Signed by One Thousand
Two Hundred Nebraska Women
Exhibited in Lincoln.
A Thanksgiving memorial to Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson as a tribute of
faith in the League of Nations and
to the retiring president's cause, con
tained the names of 1,200 Nebraska
women engrossed on a parchment
20 by 24 inches square. It was on
exhibition at Miller and Fame's store
before it was sent to Washington
Lincoln women furnished 469 names
on the seal leather roll.
On its way to the United States
capital, a roll of soft black seal
leather,' with a silver plate on which
were engraved the words: "Woodrow
Wilson," protected the parchment.
Dr. F. M. Fling, professor ef His
tory at the University, and a mem
ber of the U. S. Peace Conference
Mission, prepared the wording of the
memorial.
University Artist Contributes Work.
Philip Harrison, University artist,
had charge of the art or engrossing,,
in renaissance letters with proper
ornamentation. The work was done
in India ink.
Original signature sheets were sent
as evidence or the bonafide character
of the work. The letter accompany
ing the memorial was signed by Dr.
Inez Philbrlck and Mrs. Ida ThurberJ
of the University.
The memorial was described as "a
drop of antidote to the wave or
sordid materialism" manifest in the
election. The idea of the memorial was
conceived a few weeks ago in a con
versation between two Lincoln wo
men "sick at heart over the evident
slump shown by the election returns
rrom the spirit of ideal I'm in which
we entered the war."

DEVELOPING FAST
Big Squad Out Every Day Preparing
for First Game of the
Season.
Face Heavy Schedule.
Last Year's Stars Working Hard
Many Football Men Out
' for Team.
The basketball season is starting
with a big squad of men out every
day competing for places on the
Varsity quintet. Coach Schisslcr is
well pleased with the manner in
which the men are bucking down to
work and expects to develop a team
by the holidays that will do Justice
to Nebraska when the Huskers go
East.
The Huskers have a heavy sched
ule to face and on account of th
shortage of time, the development ol
a team to compare with last years
quintet will be a difficult task. Coacn
Schissler is starting at the bottom
and teaching the men the rudiments
of University basketball. This Is not
necessary in all car.es but the men
are developing an eye for the basket
and the necessary amount of endur
ance. Last Year's Stars on Job.
The Husker stars o Hast year's
team who have been in suit all week
are Captain Bailey. Patty, Newman.
Munn, Smith, Bekins and Jungmeyer.
A number of this year's football stars
are out already for the team. Coach
Schissler expects a large number ot
the football men out early next week.
He wants as many big men as pos
sible to get out early in the season
o that a heavy team as well as a
light team may be developed.
There are a number of open dates
on the Husker schedule that Coach
Schissler expects to fill in a day or
so. Negotiations are now under way
for a game with the quintet from the
University of Omaha and also with
the Wesleyan crew. These gam
will be in the nature of practice con
tests for the Varsity.
Early Games Doubtful.
On account of school closing a few
days earlier it is doubtful whether
any games will be scheduled for
December 17 and 18. The team win
practice all during the first part ot
!!o vacation and will then depart for
Illinois and the other games to be
filled on the Cornhusker schedule
while the team is in the East.
The Freshmen will hold their first,
practice tomorrow afternoon ai I
o'clrck in the Armory. The work will
be under the direction of John Pickett
who assisted in drilling the Freshman
