CAPTAIN HAGAN EXPLAINS
REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDAL
Active Service Not Necessary to
Receive War Department
Honor.
Capt. James II. I lagan, in charge
of the Victory medal distribution.
2nd floor, Nebraska Hall, states that
there seems to be a general mis
apprehension as to who is entitled to
the Victory medal, also that only a
few applications for the medal have
been received, that the reasons given
Tor this are: "Men who saw no active
service feel that they are not entitled
to them and would be sailing under
false colors." and "Others do not wish
them feelins; that they have no value
under the erroneous belief that any
slacker honorably discharged from
Leavenworth is entitled to one."
As to tho first it was not the man's
fault, that he saw no active service,
for comparatively few did. He did as
he must do, obeyed his orders and
served wherever those orders re
quired. There Is no deception or sail
ing under false colors, for the clasps,
or absence of them on the medal tell
all where he served and what engage
ments he took part in.
Just who are meant by "slackers"
is not quite clear, but the war depart
ment orders state that Victory medals
will not be issued to conscientious
objectors who refused to wear the
uniform or accept service in a branch
of tho army, nor to men accepted by
the local boards but rejected at camp
before entering on regular duty there.
AH that is required of one deserving
to submit appl'cation for Victory
medal is to present his discharge cer
tificate to Captain Hagan or Sergeant
Patton of the Military department
they will prepare all necessary papers.

Schulte Writes
Letter To All
Loyal Huskers
It Is truo that such men as Wright,
Deering, Moulton, Dale, Gibbs, Smith,
Stromer, McCarthy, McDonald, Allen,
Kretzler, Meyers, and Dorn have up
held Nebraska's honor very accept-
auiy in meets this year. But Nebraska
is asleep while the ether uniersitiei
are going at great speed and gathering
momentum.
Kansas, Missouri, and Ames in the
Valley, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan,
in the Western conference, Penn, Cor
nell, Yale, Pnnroton, and Harvard in
the east all have great teams.
Nebraska should be in their class
and Nebraska can be with the right
sort of Interest on (the part of the
student body. The men' who should
carry the burden for the years to
come, the three hnudred men that we
need out for daily work are loafing
on the job. They are holding back the
old school. They ire losing momen
tum instead of adding punch to the
game.
It is up to the student body. I havo
pleaded and begged with at least 500
promising-lokiiig men. In today's try-
outs for the Missouri Valley Fresh
man meet less than thirty men turned
out.
Is this the sort of thing that tho
student, body wants that you want?
MR. READER? Give us the men and
we can put Nebraska at the top. With
out men and lots of them we shall
stand In the row of mediocrity.
The dally jazz dance and the cozy
limousine will not produce Wrights,
Thompsons, Simpsons, Merediths,
Reeds, or Paddocks.
It Is up to you. We want 300 men
out In regular daily training. Can
we have them?

Track Coach.
Debaters Debate
Debate Once More
Professors and members of the two
debating teams that met Iowa, April
28, on the closed shop question held
a "post-mortem" Monday afternoon
in U 106. Dean Warren A Seavcy
and Prof. II. H. Foster of the College
of Law and Prof. M. M. Fogg and the
six members of the teams discussed
the merits of Iowa's and Nebraska's
work. O. A. Drake, Law '22, of Kear
ney, of the negative team, and C. C.
Strlmple, Law '22, Omaha, of the
affirmative team, reviewed the cases
in detail.
That the Iowans at Iowa City did
a good deal of unsupported assertion
was the impression of the Nebraska
team. The Iowans, promptly put on
the defensive by the Nebraskans soon
abandoned their affirmative case.
That Nebraska in the debate at Lin
coln excelled both in the use of evi
dence and in form was the impression
of thei professors.
The Open-Forum discussion "which
ran warmly for sixty-five minutes
after the close of the formal debate
i
n the Temple theater, during
hour a large group of labor unionists
of Lincoln pelted the Iowans and the
Nebraskans especially the visitors
with pointed questions giving the de
baters capital training in off-hand
rebuttal, was bot matched at Iowa
City, where only a few questions were
shot at the Nebraskans. In closing
at 11 o'clock the Open-Forum dis
cussion at Lincoln, Professor Fogg
expressed, In behalf of the University,
gratification that bo many Lincoln
labor unionists had come to that Uni
versity event and that they had ex
hibited such live. Intelligent Interest
in the discussion.

First Workout Since Return From
Kansas Held Last
- Night.
Couch Schissler put the Husker
baseball squad through their first
workout last night after the return
from Kansas. On account of the ex
tremely cold weather of last week a
number of men have reported with
sore arms.
The Huskers will leave early Fri
day morning for Ames where the
Scarlet, and Cream nine neet the
Iowa State Farmers , '. . o-ganie
series on Friday ami Saturday after
noons. The team will leave directly
following I he Saturday contest and
arrive in Lincoln the same evening.
The opponents for the Varsity in
last night's game was a picked team
composed of part of the Varsity and
a few of the scrubs with Pickett and
I killings worth as the battery. The
final outcome was 3 to 0 in favor of
the Varsity. Coach Schissler will
probably lake about the same crew
to Ames that made the tyip to Kansas.
Inter-Greek Tourney.
Inter-fraternity baseball will be the
next sport, in which the Creeks will
participate in. All entries for the
tournament must be in to John
rickett or the athletic office some
time before 6 o'clock tomorrow night.
A few entries have already been
turned in and the tardy fraternities
are asked to get theirs in as soon as
possible.
Last year practically all of the fra
ternities on the campus entered tho
tournament and this helped to create
a great deal of interest in the national
pastime about the University. The
schedule for the tournament will be
ranged as soon as the entry list is
completed and will probably be an
nounced in the Friday edition of the
Daily Nebraskan.

The junior nine walked over the
senior aggregation at the first game
of the girls' inter-class baseball Tues

ing the first two innings things were
pretty evenly matched. At the last

juniors clear through the game, with
Bob Henderson and Annabelie uans

speedy pellet. The seniors changed
pitchers at the fifth inning and were
able to hold the juniors to a smaller
collection of points. Mary Shepherd,
sport leader, pitched the first four
Innings, was relieved part time by
Ruth McKenney, who in turn handed
the twirling over to Martha Krocmann
for the remainder of the game. Ruth
Carr did some good base stealing.
Bob elinderson and Eleanor Snoll
both registered home runs for tho
juniors. A distinctive feature of the
senior team was its ability to register
errors, and thus allow' the Juniors to
race around the diamond at their own
free will.
Miss Janza and Miss Clark umpired
the game. Miss Mann and Miss
Donati were score keepers. The sec

'UNKNOWN LATIN AMERICA'
DESCRIBED DY WARSHAW
Professor of Modern Languages Tells
Freshmen Importance of South
ern Countries.
Trofessor Warshaw of the Modern
Language department addressed tho
freshmen Tuesday on the subject of
the "Unknown Latin America." He
spoke of Latin America, as being un
known to us in a way that wo do not
appreciate its worth and importance
enough to study its people and coun
tries. We sometimes think that when
we trade with its countries we aro
trading with bead-buying Indians.
They are not that class. "Most of
the people of South America are as
much Europeanized as we. They use
the modern machinery and methods
that we use," said Professor Warshaw.
Ho also quoted statistics to his au
dience to show that Latin America is
by far our most important trading
field. In proportion to its size and
population it surpasses any other field
with which we trade. The silver and
meat industries are larger than we
realize. The Armour Tacking com
pany has a $10,000,000 plant in Brazil
and all of the other large companies
of a similar nature are buying land in
South America.
Most of the countries in Latin
America resent .the attitude of the
United States in regard to the Monroe
Doctrine. Brazil is the one exception.
The majority of them regard us as
an unwelcome big brother. They real
ize the immeasurable benefits they
have received from our protection but
they believe they are now ready to
"walk alone."
Latin America is yet In its infancy.
It is our duty to become acquainted
with the circumstances which sur
round the relation of the two grand
divisions, both so rich in natural re
sources and both holding such subtle
power.

Beautiful Repast
At Party Staged
By 'Near-Phys-Eds
The Near-Phys-Eds treated the
members of the Physical Education
department to a feed Tuesday noon
after the baseball game. The table
groaned and sagged under the weight
of home made cakes, sandwiches
cookies, and all sorts of good food
Over forty hungry girls made quick
work of the food. The members o
the winning team were presented with
candy from the president of the W
A. A. who is a charter member of the
"psuedoes." Mrs. Jessie Begthol Lee
was informally made an honorary
member of the society. Miss Louise
round and Miss Delia Marie Clark
were present.
The "Near" society is an informal
gathering of girls that play around
the gymnasium, love the sports, and
do all they can to wear out the gym
nasium equipment. This is the sec
end large meeting of the group and
probablv the last one of the season
unless some members calls her sisters
together, with an order to bring all
the food that she can swipe from
home, as well as all the paper plates
she can swipe from the supply of
more rpsppctable organizations
Every member is a live wire, and de
cided that the best way to control
such superfluous pep, was to form a
band that met under the satisfying
influence of food.
