Goal of Fifteen Hundred Dollars

More than eight hundred dollars
lias been raised toward tho Grace
Coppock Memorial Fund drive for
$1,500 up to twelve o'c'.oek Thursday,
This la a very encouraging total. The
average per member Is high and the
train workerB report that a high pet
centage of the girls aro contributing.
A very thorough canvass is being
made and careful records are kept
of Hie contributions.
The canvassing will continue until

the luncheon.
Aside from the religious purpose of
the V. V. C. A. the greatest duty of
tl.e association is to help educate the
wi-int'ii of China. Ii has only been In
rec nt years that women of the low
er class have been allowed the privi
lej,e of an education. The expense
today of the most elementary school
ing is beyond the limited means of
the working women. A free educa
tion is something entirely unknown'-
lou'ity is quite widespread, due
paiiiy to tho ideas of respect ami
obedience to every member of the
family. . well to do man must siiaic
ill, he lias with all of his lelatives.
Hi ina, as a country, is very backward
along the lines of industrial develop
nil nt and makes very little use of
the modern inventions.
The most prominent g;oup in China
today is her students. Since the do
vchipimnt of the "student movemen '
in connection with the Shantung con
tivveisy, they have come to be an
tvptession of China's idealism. Only
a low of China's girls are members
tit' her student movement. Eighty
nine student branches of the Y. V.
('. A. are at work enrolling members.
The Y. V. C. A- is constantly cn
1. Hying its fcrtign work for Chinese
vuuuen and girls. A staff of 128 sec
it l avios, 32 of whom are native Chi
n so, are carrying on educational and
i.e.ilta activities. The executive at
the head of this immense organize
tim is dependent on the support the
NVbiaska girls will give. That means
every girl in school must recognize
1 er responsibility.

"More Men out for track," is the
appeal made by Coach Schulte. The
track mentor declares that Nebraska
must have more men uai for the cin

ui ied to report for track at once, as
t least five hundred track candidates
aie needed. Schulte states that he is
anxious for the men to come out, re
gardless of whether or not they have
Participated in track athletics before.
Coach Schulte is planning on mak
ing tie inter-college meet next week
the biggest intra mural athletic event
ever staged at the Cornhusker insti
tution. All track men are being
urged to enter the meet, and no ef

Engineers Hear Prof. G. N. Fos
ter of the Law College at
Wednesday Eve Meeting
An unusually large attendance
marked the meeting Wednesday eve
ning of the A. A- K. held in the Me
elsanieal Engineering building.
Professor Foster of the Law Coi
logo gave an interesting talk in which
he brought out the advantages and
tho possibilities of the engineer as
seen by those outside the profession
He emphasized the need of a broader
appreciation of the sciences than the
average engineer gets in his college
course. Scientific research was men
tioned as likely the most profitable
source of development along this line.
Ho ended his talk by saying that he
wished to pay a tribute to the scien
tific man by the statement. "I fee!
comparatively speaking, that the men
of science have never received their
Just credit. The man who develops
a new step in science that is to be
beneficial to the whole world, re
ceives hut slight mention as compared
with the man who writes a story or
poem.
Directly following the talk, election
of officers for next year took place.
The final ballot resulted as follows.
President, Paul Kreuch.
Vice President, Lloyd Shildneck.
Secretary-Treasurer, Ferd Bing.
Assistant Editor Blue Print, K- F.
Rurnett.
Assistant Business Manager, Noel
Smith.
Assistant Circulation Manager, Roy
Randolph.
Installation of the newly elected of
ficers followed, and the newly elect
ed president presided for the remain
der of the meeting.
The rest of the evening was given
over to the enthusiastic reports of the
chairmen of the various committees
in charge of the annual Engineers'
Week, which is to be held the last of
this month. Shildneck, general chair
man, gave a short outline of the pro
gram for the week. He said "Engin
eers' Week this year is to be one of
the largest events of the school year
We plan to have it not Just remem
bered as Engineers' Week, but as En
gineers' Week of 1922."
Wilcox-, chairman of publicity, re
ported that not only the Omaha and
Lincoln papers are to herald the im
portant events of the week, but that
papers in most of the other towns
within a radius of iw) miles are to
carry announcements of the occasion
He also mentioned the small silk em
blems to be worn during the week
and said Uiat ttie committee' felt
that due to the absence of the fairer
sex in the college, that the young
ladies who have friends that are en
gineers might also wear the emblems.
Upton spoke of Engineers Night,
which is to be on Thursday. He told ,
of how great a value this night is to
the University as an advertisement.

LADDER SAYS
New Cornhusker Will Penetrate
Globe From France To California
The fact that a prominent manu
facturer of Davenport, Iowa, sends
each year to the University of MIu
ncsota, his Alma Mater, for a copy
of the college annual, does not worry
CoruhuskorB. This la a common oc
currence ut Nebraska. '
Right now on the hooks of tho 1922
Cornhusker are the names of Nebras
ka alumni who are scattered in the
four corners of the globe. Some ol
those names are well known now, too,
but the memories of Nebraska still
linger with them so vividly that they
never forget to order a copy of the
Cornhusker yearbook.
The H22 Everybody's annual will
penotrnle the heart of India, it will
go to the famous Island of Japan, i.
will venture Into the "Powder River"
country, it will make the rounds on
Lonk Island, it will pay a visit to
sunny , California, it will invade the
Cascade runge and will even make
its presence known in southern
France.
Former Cornhuskers are now scat
tered, but their minds are still con
tered nrouug the college nucleus that
they knew so many years ago. They

No Decision Rendered in Argu

aling teams vied with each other
r foicnsic supremacy in tho Temple
theater Thursday night with the ques
tion, "Resolved: that the United
Stales Should Cancel the Allied
Debts." Nebraska upheld the affirm
ative of tiie question and no decision
was rendered as has been the cus
tom in the debates of the past year.
Chief Justice A. M. Morrissey of
the Nebraska Supreme Court presid-
: over the meeting in the place of
Governor McKelvie who was unavoid
ably detained in Omaha due to illness
of a brother. Chief Justice Morrissey
briefly explained the question of the
debate and introduced the speakers.
He was presented to the audience by
Piofessor M. M. Fogg, coach of the
Nebrsaka team.
The. cases of botli teams were well ,
developed and a heated discussion
marked the conflict of points. The
question was de-alt with from every
angle and the honors were very close.
Nebraska carried t'.irough a very well
developed line cf argument and each
speaker was forceful in his defense
of the question. A number of clev
erly worked out points of the negative
were sprung in the rebuttal which fol
lowed the direct argument and the
cases were strong on both sides. Ne
braska seemed to have the edge in
the presentation.
This debate, the second half of
which was carried on by the Nebras
ka negative team in Iowa at the same
time as the South Dakota-Nebraska
argument, is the thirty-second debate
since 1902. The first thirty of these
debates carried decisions and Nebras
ka carried twenty one of tho thirty
decisions. Since the War Nebraska
has participated in six no-decision de
bates. This is the first appearance of the
Nebraska debating team this season
and the affirmative team is made up
entirely of men who have not handled
the case for Nebraska in previous
years.
