The Cornhusker team has won
seven games this season so far, and
lost the same number of contests,
giving them a percentage of .500. The
Huskers have been bauiy handicapped
because of the fact that thei cap
tain, Austin Smith has been unab'e
to practice with them because of his
studies being at the Omaha medical
school.
The announcement that the Mis

GLEE CLUB
IS NEW ORGANIZATION
Tryouts for New Club will be Held
Wednesday Night. Place
Announced Sunday
A new organization was born on the
campus yesterday and is under the
name of tha Cornhusker Glee Cldb.
A number of loyal Nebraskans in
terested in seeing Nebraska have a
glee club gathered together in the
Alumni office of the University and
drew up a constitution for the new-
organization.
Harold F. Holtzz, alumni secretary,
is one of the men back of the Corn
husker Glee club and he feels that
the University is in need of some
singing and this is one of the best
wavs of obtaining it. The organiza
tion is open to everyne but a limited
number will be accepted after the
tryouts arc completed.
The tryouts are to be held Wed
nesday night, the place will be an
nounced in the Sunday Daily Nebras-
kan. Every' Cornhusker who has any
ability in the vocal line is especially
requested to make an attempt to be
a member of this organization. The
real purpose of the Cornhusker Glee
club is to stimulate singing in the
Uniersity since the spirit of a college
or university is exemplified in this
manner.
Parwin Whitte, Director
In securing Parwin Whitte aS the
director for the Glee Club, the Uni
versity has been extremely fortunate
in geting a man with an internation
reputation. Mr. Whitte was the dir
ector of the Ohio Wesleyan Glee club
last year where he attained a nation
wide reputation as a director. Mr.
Whine's club was one of the glee
clubs chosen to go to the Panama
Canal, which is considered one of tne
greatest honors that can be received
by any musical organization in this
country.
Following is a copy of the Con
stitution adopted by the club:
The Cornhusker Glee Club
Constitution.
The name of this club shal' be ihs
Cornhusker Glee club.
The r.urpoee of thr organization

hands of some 2,000 Nebraska high
school basketball players who will
invade Lincoln for the annual cage
classic on Thursday, Friday and Sat

future student of the University and
the actions of the present student
body toward them will do much to
ward determining whether they will
enter the University of Nebraska,
some other college or university, or
not go to any school of higher edu
cation whatever.
The anual high school basketball
tournament is one of the best ad
vertising mediums which could ever
be devised to bring future college
men into close contact with the univ
ersity. The University of Nebraska is
proud of its school and it is proud
of every record for which it stands,
and every student at Nebraska knows
well that no Nebraska boy or girl
would make a mistake by enrolling
here. Yet how important each in
dividual's part is in the r'univers

whether next year and the following

give them a favorable impression oi
the University and will serve to carry

Results Of Arms Conference To
Be Measured With Little Realism
Two international Conferences
ought to teach us something. This
last one at least ought to lead us out
of the bogs of garrulity on to the
solid ground of acuality.
We have just adjourned sine die
the Conference on Limitation oi
Armaments and Pacific and Far East
ern Problems. U is time to meas
ure the results of that conference
with a little realism. It has on iu
credit side a great contribution. It
has spared us the insanity of a naval
race on two oceans aud a war on at
least one as a consequence. So far
bo good, and let the editor and poli
tician voice ring out But that is only
half. The other half Is the Far East.
As to that half let us not deceive
ourselves with our favorite national
clicheB idealism, justice, democracy
and all that and befuddle ourselves
into contentment by the national pas
sion for optimism. We have not suc
ceeded w ith respect to the Far East.
One reason is that we have brought
to the test little more than words
We were self-frustated by our own
rah-rah spirit We stuck by the team,
without watching the play, without
thought of what was the game, why
we were playing it and whethei the
game was worth (playing. College

years, the Cornhusker institution will
or will not have these boys for their
students.
From every corner of the state
these followers of the cage sport will
come. Battling their hardest to take
elorv home to their towns and their
high schools, these' boys are going tJ
spend a good share of their time in
vestigating Lincoln and the Univers
ity of Nebraska. The impression which
they get during their three-day visit
will largely determine their future
course along educational lines.
Students should bear in mind con
stantly that these boys represent
every kind of person living in the
state of Nebraska. Sons of farmers
merchants, bankers, ministers, doc
tors, and lawyers, will take part in the
tournament. Many have not had the
advantages of training which the stu
dents in the University have had. Few
oi the schools have had any particul
arly envious basketball training and
when they get out on the floor to fight
their hardest to win. their brand of
basketball may not be the best. But
no matter, they are future students
of Nebraska and the present students
must act toward them as they would
wish others to act if they were in the
same position as these boys.
Good treatment of the boys on the
ART EXHIBIT DEVOTED

Special Program Given Thursday
Evening Board oi Trustees
Met Wednesday.
The art exhibit was devoted spe
daily to the Matinee Musical, Thurs
day evening. A program was pre
sented by Madame Gilderoy Scott,
Miss Mariel Jones and Miss Katner'ue
Kimball. The special committee of
hostesses for this occasion consisted
nf .Mra Alhprt Watkins. Mrs. L. E
Mumford, Mrs. D: M. Butler, irs. J.

L. H. Watson and Mrs. A. S. Ra
mond. The board of trustees of the art as
sociation met Wednesday at the gal
lery to discuss the progress of tie
exhibition and plans for extending
memberships. The attendance at the
exhibition has been very graiifying.
There is a steady stream of visitors
whenever the gallery is open. The
attendance has 'been better than in
any former year, which shows that
the public appreciate the exhibition.
Great quality, loyalty, if not dissoci
ated from intelligence.
We brought to the test. I say, little
more than words, so we goi uuij
words new resolutions, imore prin
ciples, fresh promises; but in deed
nothing. Naturally, since we were
satisfied with words a'one, and the
cheerleaders- press and politician
and public figures generally worked
us up to a great boost frenzy over
that.
Satisfied we may pe, but let us
cherish no illusions as to where these
platitudes have left the Far East
They have lert it substantially where
it was. China, for all the magna
charta, so-called, written at Washing
ton, is still at the mercy of any des
poiling nation in the future, and past
Tor. The clash of national interests
in China has not been checked. The
status quo has been sanctified. There
have been promises not to do in the
future those things that have been
done in the past; but until thos?
things that have been done in the
past are undone there is little pros
pect that they will not be done agair
in the future. The principle of bal
ance of (power and the desire or
each nation to even up for advantages
trained by other nationB In the past
will propel tach nation to betcr its
own position as compared wu-n me

STUDENTS TO TRY OUT
FOR PLACES IN SHOW
Personnel of Acts in Variety Show
to Be Put on Next Month Will
be Selected by Competition.
Students wishing to take p'.rl in
the variety show to be put on b tne
university lyceum board next month
at the Orpheum theater will bt giv
en a chance to try out for places in
the show next week. All applications
of students wishing to -.y out must
be in the student activities office by
next Tuesday evening, March 7. Stu
dents should hand in their name and
the kind of an act in which tley pie
fer to take part.
Acts of every naUrr, irom comedy
to dramatic, from musical revue to
feature stunts, will make up tlx vari
ety program. Suggestions of students
having ideas for the show will be
gladly received by the board.
The variety show will be an annual
affair in Lincoln home talent circles
if the program this year goes off as is
expected. . Every spring vacation lor
many years, the university iyceum
has sent university talent cut into the
state to advertise the university but
they have never before put on a
Droduction for the benefit of Lincoln
people. It is for the purpose of chow
ing Lincoln people what the ui.ivcr
sity can do and what the stuJeuts oi
the university can do that the variety
show is to be produced.
Want Best Talent
Realizing that Lincoln people are
the most nearly correct judges oi
university life as it exists at Nebras
ka, the lyceum board is anxious that
the best, and only the best, talent (t
the university be presented at tne
show. Skits, comedy acts, musical
numbers, dance acts, and H-ature
stunts of any kind appropriate ior a
variety program are wanted foi the
show. Any student or rrcup Ci stu
dents can try out for the acts.
Some of the numbers which will be
sent out in the state as a oi
University week will be presented at
the Lincoln show. But the fact that
transportation expenses will be chm.
nated in the home production will
serve to allow for much better and
larger acts than could possibly be
sent to distant towns.
Organizations having students with
talent among them are asked io try
out for an act in the name of ae
organization. Such groups as the
Green Goblins, Iron Sphinx. Mystic
Fish. Silver Serpents, Xi Deltas, and
Vikings and particularly urged to h' 3p

FINGER PRINT EXPERT
AT
Hans Nielsen Explains to Mem
bers of Club the importance
of Finger-prints.
"Its just as easy to f in.l a man
amonc a million as it is among a
hundred by means of fing'j, prints.
Hans Neilsen said in his talk to the
university commercial club yesterday
morning. His talk was very interest
ing as well as practical.
Fingerprints were used as Identi
fication as far back as a thousand
years ago in China. They a;e U6ed
mostly in the detection and idcntiiica
tion of criminals today, pholograpcs
and band writing being used to some
extent but these are not accurate.
Fingerprints are absolutely correct,
it being impossible to find two finger
prints alike in all the world. Mr. Nefl
sen pointed out what t. reat pro
tection to banks fingerprints on
checks were. There is so much for
gery and swindling going on that the
fingerprint system is going to be used
a great deal In the commercial wnrld.
He expressed a hope for a univer
sal fingerprint system. He snowed
where this could be used as identifi
cation In wrecks, fires and drown
ing where identification was net pos
sible otherwise. Mr. Keilsen had a
number of interesting charts showing
how a man was Identified end l.e told
