Championship Contest Will be
Held in the Middle of January.
Sponsored by Delta Sigma Kho
Juniors and Freshmen put forth
the beat arguments in the prelimin
ary debates held last night. The sen
ior team lost to the Junior aggrega-
gation by a two to one decision of
the Judges. The yearling squad tri
umphed over the second-year men by
a unanimous decision. The upper
class debate was held In Law 101,
while the underclassmen argued In
the Social Science auditorium.
The question for debate: "Resolved
That the United States Government
Should Grant Adjusted Compensation
to the Veterans of the World War,"
was hotly contested by both sides.
Following the argument In the Social
Science auditorium between the
Freshmen and the Sophomores, an
open Forum discussion was held.
Nearly everybody joined In the dis
cussion, which lasted over an hour.
An open Forum discussion was also
held at the Junior-Senior contest, but
diA not wax as warm as that at the
underclass battle.
The teams clashed on the ability
of the government to pay adjusted
compensation, and on the means of
paying it. They also struggled over
the obligation of the country to the
veterans.
It was announced that the final
contest for the Inter-class champion
shipi would take place at about the
middle of January. Inter-class debate
was revived this year by the mem
bers of Delta Sigma Rho, honorary
debating fraternity. One of the pur
poses of the open Forum discussion
was to arouse nterest In class de
bates so that they would be continued
In the future. Another purpose of
the discussion was to give the au
ditors a chance to have answered any
questions which puzzled them. The
discussion was not taken Into account
in the decisions of the judges1.

Beulah Butler Draws Cover De
sign for Smackers' Issue
Work During Holidays
The Smackers are out on the cam
pus today.
These "Smackers" are the Decem
ber issue of the Awgwan, which is
distributed from Station A today. It
is the snappiest number of the month
ly comic this year, say the members
of its staff.
It smacks of snappy stories from
cover to cover, and the cartoons bris-
:le with the spirit of the book. Every
thing about this issue of the Awgwan
lives up to its name.
Beulah Butler is the artist for
Awgwan's cover this month. It is
done in black and white, and Is ap
propriate to the Smackers' number.
Orvin Gaston, editor of the Awgwan,
announces that the entire staff will
be In Lincoln during the holidays to
complete the work on the January Is
sue, which is already started.
The January number will be the
New Year's edition, and will be the
feature issue of the year. The cover
will be especially novel, and Is worked
out in four colors.
Excavation Unearths
Remnants of Peat Bog
Remnants of an ancient peat bog
estimated to be more than 50,000 years
old have been discovered In the ex
cavation for the new literary bulld-
lne. None of the fragments discov
ered are large, while most of them
are exceedingly small. Nevertheless,
they are enough to indicate clearly
the former existence of a bog in the
near vicinity of the campus.
When the discovery was made in
the literary building excavation,
search was made in the hole for the
,.h-vina hull ill no- which resulted in
the discovery there of similar evi
dence.
Prof. H. H. Bartlett of the botany
department has made a number of
photographs of the places where tne
seat was found. Prof. I. D. bcou oi
.he geology department has also been
?nsaged in photographing the loca
tions for more intensive study.
According to Professor Bartlett, the
movements of the glaciers that at one
time covered the spot, are responsible
or the formation. In the sweeping
backward and forward small pieces
of peat were washed into the gravel

they remained for thousands of years

FRESHMAN LEGTORE
Tells First-Year Students They
Should be Well Versed in Fun
damental of Government
Declaring that "the conditions of
our existence are largely determined
by the form that government takes,"
and tracing the development of mod
ern states. Prof. John P. Sennlng of
the Department of Political Science
lectured to the freshmen of the Arts
and Science college, Monday evening
and Tuesday morning on "The Rise
of the Social Order."
Frofessor Senning emphasized the
reason why students should have some
knowledge of government, pointing
out that there is nothing quite so
universal as government, that all of
us live under some government and
are regulated by it, and that the gov
ernment can be no better than the
people who make it up.
"Your whole lire is regulated by law
and the government makes and en
forces the laws," Professor Senning
declared in describing the relation of
government to every-day life. "The
kind of life you live," the professor
continued, "depends upon the kind of
government."
Professor Senning characterized the
government as "the one great agency
hrough which one's whole life is reg
ulated," and pointed out that, "as
participants in the government we
should realize our rights and obliga
tions under the government."
In taking up the origin of modern
states, Professor Senning defined the
term "state" and explained the dif
ference between a state and a na
tion. The professor also declared that
the fact that governments have de
veloped Is one of the most wonderful
facts in all history.
. Professor Senning pointed out that
the history of any modern state
started with a group of small states
or principalities that were usually
fighting among themselves. How these
small principalities came to be formed
is explained by a number of theories.
All of these theories start with
condition of nature when every one
was his own law-maker and law-en
forcer. In this state of nature every
man was supposed to have certain na
tural rights, such as the rights to
life, liberty, happiness and property
According to one school of thought
people decided that this state of na
ture was Inconvenient, and realizing
that their interests were common,
they formed an organized society,
which later developed into a govern
ment. Professor Sennlng pointed out
that the "divine rights" theory of gov
ernment held that princes received
their right to govern from God. Pro
fessor Sennlng then explained the
evolutionary theory of the develop
ment of the state, saying that this
theory was the one most generally ac
cepted. According to this theory, the
states developed little by little through
natural processes and natural forces.
Force In the form of conqquest played
an Important part in the development
of the state.
In concluding. Professor Sennlng
pointed out that the purpose of every
state was. to promote the interests of
the people living under it.

No Price Set on Tapers but Stu
dents Urged to Remember

Choir to Sing Carols in Front of
Homes Where the Lighted
Candles Are in Windows
"To the students and faculty In
connection with drives on the
campus:
"My attention has been called
in a letter from Regent Webster
to the fact that another drive for
Wednesday and Thursday for
starving Russian students. . Mr.
Webster says in part: The stu
dents at our University are there
mostly because their parents are
making great sacrifices to give
them an education. If they give,
it is not their own money, nor
their own donations, nor their
own sacrifices, but that of their
parents who may be unable to af
ford the gift.
"An investigation shows that a
free-will offering only is to be
taken and that a drive has not
been endorsed by the Student
Council. Tk ;. efore I especially
request that there be no personal
solicitation other than to explain
the purpose of the offering to
those who express interest in the
matter.
"Hereafter no canvass for funds
involving students will be permit
ted until expressly endorsed by
the Student Council and approved
by the Executive Dean. In de
tached plants like the Medical
College, the Agricultural College
and the school at Curtis, drives
must be approved by the Dean of
the College before being put into
effect.
S. AVERY, Chancellor.
Today the candles go on sale on the
University campus, the proceeds to go
to help the students in Europe, par
ticularly in Russia. There will be no
set price for the tapers, but students
are asked to give all that they can,
so thnt to the practically starving stu
dents in across the seas, there may
ho the feeling of the Christmas spirit,
which may last throughout the year.
After the community singing around
the campus Christmas tree, which will
be decorated and managed by the
members of the All-University party
committee, those students who have
purchased candles are asked to place
them lighted In the windows of
their homes. Later, the members of
the Vesper Choir of the University
Y. W. C. A. will Ping carols In front
of the houses where the candles are
lighted.
The students in Europe are studying
under untold difficulties. Russia
where there Is no really stable gov
ernment, presents the wiedst field for
the aid of the future statesmen of
the new Russia. The Russian gov
ernment has promised to help all
medical and technical students, but
this will only be about forty per cent
of the students there.
It costs one dollar and fifty cents
to give a student In Russia one meal
a day. Fifteen dollars will feed him
throughout the University year. A
Russian professor's salary is equiva
lent to about $10.00 per year plus a
scanty and frequently tardy food ra
tion, which, though meant for one per
son, often has to be shared by other
memebrs of the family.
Russia is in a pitiful condition with
disease raging at many places and
practically no doctors to check it.
The minimum estimate is that over
two million people have died in' Rus
sia from starvation. A concentrated
section of the country as large as Chi
cago has perhaps one physician to
look after its needs. Only a frac
tional per cent of the educated lead
ership destroyed by the world war
has been replaced, and Russia cannot
recover without this, leadership.
Today when Nebraska establishes
her new tradition of the White Christ
mas, she will be doing her share to
ward laying firm foundations of friend
ship which will exist between the two
nations. Such bonds as will result
from this Student Friendship Fund
will make International relations
stronger for the Intellectual life In the
old countries must not die.

Finger Printed
Use Is Favored
Finger prints will in time take the
place of all other forms of identifica
tion, according to James J. Ratti, a
local expert on the subject, who has
been lecturing in the criminology
classes of Prof. Arthur E. Wood.
Mr. Ratti explained the methods
used by those engaged in this sort
. of work. The print left by the crim
inal is photographed by a special cam
era, equipped with miniature electric
lights, which is placed directly over
the finger print. The photograph so
obtained Is compared with any record
which may be on file and the person
is identified. "The trouble is," said
Mr. Ratti, "that only a small propor
tion of the finger rrints of the people
are available through the files."
An attempt Is being made at the
present to pass a law requiring every
person in the United States to have a
print made and filed in central sta
tions throughout the country. Mr.
Ratti said that such a method would
facilitate the capturing" of criminals,
make easier the Identification of dead
bodies, serve to identify unknowns.
lost children, and the like. The lack
of it handicaps the fingerprint men
greatly.
During the lectures Mr. Ratti took
the fingerprints of Professor Wood in
order to show the classes the method
used. At the time he pointed out that
the only way in which the line on the
ftneers can be destroyed is by the
loss of practically the entire finger.
If a record were available of all ten
flneers it would be Impossible to es
cape Identification unless, all of the
fingers had been destroyed. Tne
