DEAN LERDSSIGNOL SPEAKS
TO FRESHMEN ON SOCIALISM
Says That This Social System Attack:
thd Present System That It Is
Theory of Social Evolution.
Socialism can bo defined in four
ways, said Dr. J. E. Leltosignol, dean
of tho College of Business AdministiM
tion, in his lecturo to freshmen Tue
day, in speaking on tho subject o:
"Socialism and Other Isms." Social
ism is an attack on tho present socl-il
system; it is a theory of social evolu
tion. It is a scheme of social evolu
tion and, lastly, it is a missionary
movement. Tho negative way of stat
ing tho idea Is to say that society b
al lwrong.
Karl Marx was tho father of social
ism. He was a German Jew and be
cause ho was a Jew a great many
people make a broad statement that
all Jews aro socialists, but this is njt
true. Socialism is really a religion
with many people, and like all relig
ions it has it's prophets. Karl Marx
was it's Moses. By it's followers it
is called a science, but by those who
disbelieve it, it is said to bo a Utopia
a condition that can ever exist, an
mpossibility.
"There are several different kinds of
socin'ism," said Dean LeP.ossignol.
"There is scientific socialism, Utopian
socialism, christian socialism, state
socialism, I. W. W. socialism and gild
socialism. Each of these has good
points, but all have yet to bo proved
successful."
In conclusion tho Dean called at
tention to the socialism practiced in
Russia. This is commonly known as
Bolshevism. It deals with anarchy,
violence and revolution. The whoie
world is awaiting tho success ot this
government or lack of government.
If it is successful more than likely the
whole world will take socialism for it's
guide.

NEBRASKA QUINTET
.PREPARES FOR AGGIES
Pi Phi Chi, A. T. O. and Delta Tan
Delta win in the Third Round
of Interfrat Tourney.
Coach Schissler put the men through
a stiff workout yesterday afternoon at
tho Coliseum. The entire squad is
showing up well and from all indica
tions Nebraska should win the double
bill from tho Ames agregation on Fri
day and Saturday of this week.
Practically tho same men will face
the Aggies that started against the
Colgate quintet. Ames is well repre
sented this year and being able to
take tho measure of the Huskers enca
speaks weill for them. Tho Iowa
quintet is composed of little fellows
but what they lack in size is made up
in speed. The Huskers were forced
to the limit to defeat tho Ames quintet
in the contest at Ames some time a?c.
These two games will wind up the
season for the llusker basketball
squad. Nebraska has thus fai made
a very good record, winning thirteen
games and losing three. Nebraska has
successfully come back at the tean:s
that have defeated them and hav-3
come out with the larger end of the
score in every contest.
Inter-Frat Games.
Tho third round of tho inter-rrat
contest started off with a bung yester
day when three games were played.
In the first contest the Pi Phi Chi
quintet defeated the Delta Chi five by
thes core of 23 to 7. Ability of tho
medical men to locate the basket was
responsible for the victory.
The second game went to the A. T
O. team, winning from the Acacias by
the coutn of 16 to 5. The Acacias put
up a good battle but could not put
tho ball through tho hoop when neces
sary. In tho final contest, of the aft:
noon the Delts continued their winning
streak, snowing the Alpha Sig un.i-r
by the score of 23 to 1. The final
contest of tho third round will be
played tomorrow when tho Sig Alph
team will meet the Silver Lynx men

IT ABOLISH IHE
STUDENT
COUNCIL
Mass Meeting, Last Night, Passes
Motion to Hold Election in
Weeks.
ASK A SPECIAL MEETING
Council Would Coerce Executive Dein
and Dean of Women if Allowed
to Exist.
At a mass meeting called by L. W.
Melzger, president of tho Student
Council, a petition was presented for
the purpose of considering the holding
of an election to voto upon the quen
tion of abolishing the Student Coin
cil. A, motion was made and carried
to hold this election within two weeks
after the mass meeting.
Unden the constitution of tho Stu
dent Council a mass meeting may bi
called at any time. A petition circu
lated among students of tho Univer
sity made the meeting possible. The
petition as it. was circulated follows:
The Petition.
To tho President of the Student Coun
cil of the University of Nebraska.
Greetings:
Whereas, the Student Council of
the University of Nebraska, as do
signed and existing at the present
time, would if it should 1'unelioD,
coerce the well defined and properly
placed powers of tho Dean of Women
and the Executive Dean.
Whereas, in the future, the Student
Council, would, if it should function,
supplant tho faculty committees and
bodies which have heretofore directed
well, the supervision of Student Or
ganizations, Scholarship, Eligibility,
Student Activities, School Elections.
Publications, University Lyceum, etc.
Whereas, the Student Council
would, if it should function, sup
plant the traditional committees,
organizations and societies which
have been a part, some for the past
thirty year?, of University tradition
and life.
Whereas, although the Student
Council was originally designed and
brought into being for the explicit
purpose of functioning as stated, it
lias to date failed absolutely in every
irspect and further, it has failed to
promulgate during two years of its ex
istence, one single piece of construe
tive legislation for the benefit ot the
University of Nebraska.
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
President of the Student Council, a?
specified in the .constitution of the
Student Council, call a mass meeting
for the purpose of duly considering
i he holding of an election to vote sole
ly upon the question of abolishing the
Student Council, which is and always
has been a non-functioning, super
Hons and unneedod student organiza
tion. We. the undersigned, all students of
tho University of Nebraska, are
heartily in favor of the above resolu
tion. DEAN FORDYCE SPEAKS
