HUSKER EDITORS GET INTO LITERARY DIGEST Gayle Grubb and Story Harding Write Editorials on Modern Feminine Dress. Articles written by Gayle Grubb, '21 editor of the Awgwan. and Story Harding, '22. editor of the Daily Ne braskan, appear in ho Literary Digest for May 11 as part of a resume of the present day mode of dies.-? for the younger generation of the feminine sex. Editors of college publications throughout the country were asked to contribute criticism, suggestions, de fences and advice as to the dress of the modern girl. Nearly every uni versity paper and comic in the coun responded with an article. The following excerpt from the dis cussion shows what Awgwan has to say on the subnet: "The editor of the Nebraska Awgwan assures us that ho approves of the Digest's attempt to make this world safe for masculinity and adds his own comment thus: 'Dress reform is sorely needed. This cry has never seemed to materially affect the kind and cut of modern feminine toggery except, for the worse. Modesty has given way to daring beauty to undisguised attempts to exhibit charms, and form has been supplanted by shape. " 'The hobble skirt, slit skirt, and decollete waist of the short, long-ago brought a cry for dress reform. What have the reformers to say about the modem knf-length, kidglove-flttir.g gown, with abbreviated top and bot torn, to say nothing of the short- sleeved or sleeveless waists which accompany these modern 'creations.' The bathing girl of today is merely a foresight of the average girl of to morrow, it would seem, from tho Irend of modern feminism toward elimination of essential apparel.'" The Literary Digest quotes tho Ne braskan as follows: "The Daily Ne braskan says that they have not been bothered much by 'the Eastern dances,' but does admit that the 'knee length dresses of the modern girl have cast modesty from the diction ary,' and says that recently some of the srhis in the miner classes, 'who are by no means the prudes at this school,' at a large mass meetinp 'passed resolutions to the effect that an era of simple dress for co-eds should be launched at Nebraska Uni versity,' and advises: "'If our country is to return to normalcy again in regard to dress, wemust not look on with a critic's eye and take on the guise of reform ers, but we must wear sensible clothes ourselves. If we start this as the 'fad' of the day, it will not be long until every body is wearing simple garments" because it is being cone.'"

CATHEDRAL HIGH WINS STATE DEBATING TITLE Takes Honors from Wayne School Decision Was Unanimous. High The Cathedral high school of Lin coln won the state debating title from Wayne high school, champions of the northeaster district and conquerors of the Wymore team, champions of the southeastern district, in Memorial hall yesterday afternoon. Although the first year that the Cathedral high school has entered the tournament, the team composed of Clarence Riordan, Faul llaberlan and James Cody, won the decision by a unanimous vote of the judges who were Trof. G. N. Foster, Prof. H. H. Foster, and Frof. G. O. Virtue. Trof. M. M. Fogg presided. The Cathedral boys upheld the negative cf the question "Resolved that, the literacy test restricting immi gration should be repealed." The Wayne team, composed of Ruth Ring land, Valdemar F. Feterson and Leila Mitchell defended the affirmative of the question. Prof. M. M. Fogg, director of debat ing of the University and manager of the tournament introduced Miss Ringland who opened up the affirma tive at 10:15. The main line of arguments used by the Wayne debaters was based upon the assumption that the present literacy law had failed to restrict suf ficiently and that an intelligence test similar to that used by the army would be much better. The winners used as their basis for attack the idea that the present law was sufficiently restrictive, that a test of literacy excluded those who could not be readily assimilated. W. A. A.

LcRossignol of the col lege of business administration, spoke Thursday before the freshman en gineer orientation group, on the "Righl of Industrial Workers to Strike." The speaker went far back into history, tracing the rights of laborers from the time of the serfs. through the period of the guilds, with their free journeymen who did not hate tbe right to strike, and through the great industrial revolution of the last century, which has so greatly in creased the power of the laboring classes. According to Dean LeRossignol, the right to strike, is comparatively a modern privilege, as it dates only from 1824. In his conclusion, he gave some limitations of the right, such as those Introduced by the systems In Zealand and Canada, in which compulsory arbitration is put into effect in the greatest extent possible.
