With the Orpheum theatre told completely out and a few seats leff at the Temple, the largest crowd that ever attended a University Night, pro duction is expected to pack both of these places aturday night for the thirteenth annual University Night. William O. Alstadt, In charge of tl,o ticket salo for the University Night committee, will have? the re maining few tickets on sale at the Temple in the Y. M. C. A. rooms today. It is expected that these tick ets will last only a short time. Interest among the student body is almost at a white heat over the ap preaching University Night, which la commonly known, as Nebraska's great e.st tra-Jition. In previous years the students have alwaya shown a great interest in University Night but never before has the demand been so great for tickets as it has this year.

There has been some doubt in some of the student's minds as to whether as high class a production wpuld be put on at the Temple as at . the Orpheum due to the lack of tal ent hut Chairman Ellor's statement in regard of this matter will prob ably convince the doubtful. Joe Ryons has been placed in charge of the property and will have ull charge o staging the production and will have an assiatsnt at he .Temple theatre.

Valentine Heroes Will Make Appearance on Campus Today Tonight when you see numbers of men slinking along the walls of city with their overcoats and mufflers pulled up over their faces and carry ing large boxes of nondescript shape, and if these men try to dodge you and act as if they have been caught in the act o bombin an orphanage, do not think they are Bolshiylkl hound on a tour of destruction, Ithey are merely lovers carrying Valontino mis seves. Today is Valentine's day. If there is any day in the year that is disgusting to a man it Is this day of loving missives, generally five pounds of candy, and sickening maudlin and affected sentiment. Why, we ask, should a person feel any more in love on a cold unromantic Wednesday than he should in some balmy June day? To begin with. Valentine's day is handicapped by Its date. Then there arc the symbols of Val entin's clay. As a rule they are .i couple of cooing doves and a few grinning Cupids. Adding to this most artistic background some veTse cf the "roses are red, violets are blue'' typo. However, the girls today are a little bit beyond the old-style Val entine idea. Candy, flowers, or some exquisite bit of handicraft from the Oriental shops are what are required now. It Is really a pitiful sight to see some full-grown man fussing around among the dainty things in a gift shop trying to pick out a suit I University Commercial Club Will Sponsor Affair with Talks from Visitors.

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1923. able offering to the goddess of love Valentine's day is said to have a anclent and honorable history, but we claim that it has outlived Its useful ness. Having a- day set aside for thi proclaiming of undying love is ai insane an idea as having the Pan Hellenic the date for hanging pins. Both events make the thing too cut and dried too blatent. Instead of be ing a subtle thing, Valentine's day makes love-making Jump up and hit you in the face. It has the sweet nauseating taste of candy hearts wit verses on them. Now there is one kind of Valen tine we always send. It has a pus pose, 1 is logical. That Is the comic Valentine. This brand of Valentine also has an old and renowned his tory. Despite their present state of decay the comic Valentine Is really a jwonderful ,irJstitu.lon. It is an ideal method of revenge. In a well selected assortment one can find one that will hit anyone who has it coin ing to him. You cun hit thcuror. that flunked you, you can get even with the girl thai turned you down, you can get even with the man that stepped on your feet at the Llndel) last week, you can get your room mate for borrowing your peC tie and wearing it to see your petting girl. And so on to infinity. It is truly , a wonderful thing and should bo re vived. LINCOLN CONTRACTOR BESSES EB6MEERS Tells of Relation Between En' gineer and Contractor from Lattcr's Viewpoint.

Piet Roest of Leiden, Holland, and Hans Tiesler of Berlin, German, who are touring the country under the aus pices of the National Student Forum, spoke at a special convocation Tues day morning at the .Temple. Mr. Roest told about the change that hi" taken place In the youth of Holland and the movement that has spiv.ng up to foster free thinking among the younger people. Mr. Tiesler told of 'Le situation In Germany and w'rai has Lit-tn i.oue by the youth of tint country. Jasper Kinr;, Chicago University '."0, who is the representative of the Ti lional Student Forum, Introduced the speakers and told of the reason whiU'. had Drought them to till country. Acc.oiding to Mr. King many of the young people c country have started ' to ask t:; .;. selves why they are doing eertai:. things and what the world and lit rear, to them. It is to help Individ that these foreign students have lorn' toAineiTcti, saiii' MY.- Kh:g. .. "During the last ten yenrs a literary revival has come to the s"h"';l a i; young people of Holland" announce.! Mr. Roest, who spoke first. Up to then, the youth of Holland had not. realized what life meant for them This revival implanted in them a fo.'. ing that they lacked something ami they started in to hunt for it. They wanted a life of their own, a spon tanious life tf their own k:'ui a:v spirit. They formed little groupr, I -the schools where they d'a. uu :r.' their own problems without restraint. As different groups were formed in the various schools, they felt a nce l for a compact organization, and iis a result, the Young Abstainers Loagufc was formed. The object ; of this league was to give a foundation for free thought of the youth of the country. They are trying to get away rom the customs and conventions that limited their thinking and actions. U is their belief that society need.; thinking and independent people, said Mr. Roest. There is no constitution, for this league is just a group ot young people simply and earnestly searching for the realities of life People from practical life were In vlted to speak to them, not in order to influence their opinions, but to give them an understanding of the problems that confronted people out in life. At first, this league made a rule that anybody who held any political convictions could not be a member, but this was later changed so that just those who propagated a political belief was excluded. Its pur pose was to get people to think for themselves, and not as a mass. When a member reaches the ago of twenty three he loses his membership. In this way, new blood Is continually coming in to carry on the work of the League. "I could tell you about the econ omic condition of Germany, how ninety-seven percent of the people only get meat once a week, but I am here to tell you about German youth," was the way Hans Tiesler opened his re marks. "The German youth move ment started about thirty years ago 1 ra little town near Berlin with a group of fifteen people. This move ment was against the Imperialistic system, and in fact, they were against everything that took away the free dom of youth," he went on. Mr. Ties ler then told .how there was a longing (Continued on Page Four).

I II. JGSHi TALKS TO LECTURE GROUP Traces History of India and De velopment of Civilization and Social Classes. Dr. Joshi, exchange professor from Baroda College, India, spoke to tlit tmlinien of tlio College of Arts and Sciences, Monday evening, and Tues day morning, tracing the history of In dia and the development of her civ ilization and social classes. In opening his lecture, Dr. Joshi pointed out that as a result of the war. the peoples of the world have tiovS. oped a closer bond of relationship ami have had their Interest in the customs and history of each other stimulated "The course of human history has been largely determined by the rela tionship between the two great con tinents, Europe and Asia," declared Dr. Joshi. "This relationship has had three aspects, the commroial aspet, the political aspect, anil the religion aspect." India, Dr. Joshi explained, occupier, an ii:ip nLmt pusltio.i o:i iha contin ent of Asia. Geographically it lie? between the Near East and the Mehem mendan civilization, and the Far East and the Buddhistic civilization of China and Japan. Buddism, one of the three great missionary religions, was developed in India. From India it spread to China and Japan, hand has been the determining factor of the history and culture of those countr ies. j.: jo-.l foisted oui that two great religious developed in India. Hinduism and Buddhism. Of these two, Budd htsm was the missionary religion', training converts and spreading ovo. a large part of Asia. It was a dyna mic religion while Hinduism was a static creed which did not spread be ;-o.!il the boundaries of India. Dr. Joshi drew an analogy between Hind :'.:.:') aril Jndasiam and Buddhism anefchristianity in the maner in which the religions sperad. T!-.o development of Indian civili-.:::s;.-.;i was then traced by Dr. Joshi. I- , xii'.i'.iu-.1 th it the Indo-Aryan? were the builders of the Indian cul ture. These people migrated to India through the passes of the mountains in the northwest, about 2000 B. C. Where these people came from, is a matter of dispute. Some historians hold that they came from the Artie circle, others that their original home 3 In Central Aisa, while some maln aln that they mirgated from the cen tral part of Europe. These people first occupied the Punjab, the terri ory around the Indus river. From here, the Indo-Aryans marched south o the region of the Ganges river. It was during this conquest, fo In Ua. that the caste system developed. "r. Joshi explained that this system was based on a peculiar philosophy hat held that certain classes were created by providence to perform certain social functions. Indlvidulas were born inCV these classes and ould not hope to move into a higher social class, although otherwise the actions of the individual's freedom was not interfered with. rr. Joshi then explained the three highest castes. The Bramhlns made up the highest caste. They were the priests and wise men of India. The second caste was made up of the men who had charge of the military organ ization of the country, and it was from this class that the rulers of India were usually chosen. The third caste was composed o fthe producers of -veilth. There was a fourth caste made up of the peoples that the Indo (Contlnued on Page 3) for Nebraska Students to Hear Germany and to Get the People of Those Conditions. Wednesday Program Bl.ad Convocation Hoick, . 10:00 King. 11:00 Yaw Convocation. 12:00 Lunch with various frater nities. 3:00 to 5:30 Peisonal conferences with students held in Y. M. rooms of Temple building. 6:00 Dinner with CosmopolItaB Club Hoick, King. 7:30 Math Club, Social Science 17 Roest. 8:00 General Committee meeting with all Ellen Smith Hall. Piet Roest, the Dutch representative of the group of foreign students, spoke at Vespers Tuesday on the manifesta tions of the various youth movements in Ills country. Mr. Roest is a member of the Practical Idealist Association. The central thought of this society is that society can only be Improved when men improve in a conscious and definite way. The movement has manifested it self In two Important groups, the first is intimately connected with the Y. M C. A. of America. The other is the Liberal Christian Movement, and they are not theologlsts, they do not con cern themselves with the history of the Bible, but they do appeal to the intellectual and Intuitive side of life without being associated with any par ticular dogma. These two groups do not oppose each other, rather thy overlap end Include much of the same ideals. The great change in beliefs of the young people of Holland, came in dur ing the years 1900 and 1912. Keen in terest is now taken in the social af fairs of the Individuals in a community and his responsibility to all other memberso f the society. They believe that as Christians they have a def inite mission which they should ae- cept. In explanation of the first move ment, Mr. Roest stated that its origlm was spontaneous; various conferences were held where everyone discussed the unrest and conflict that was so prevalent In that country and so evi dent to everyone who gave the matter thought. Ti:ese conferences seldom ended in any definite and common con clusion as to the solution, but they showed that life of the world, waa changing, and that a new era was about to break in. The movement is idealistic in that it tries to expresB itself in the lives of people. The church is the only organized repre sentative of Christianity, and churches make what is called a Christian na tion, but these nations have not lived up to the teachings of Christ. Mr. Roest is of the opinion that, heretofore, nationalism has been ex pressed in negatives, and that the new idea of nationalism embraces the fact that every nation has its own taekfl to perform, that no nation should forge ahead In sheer competition, but that each one must do his best and that the human world Is a family of Ba ttens, In which the interest of eie nation cannot be disregarded. Mr. Roest made it very plain that the purpose of this tour of America was not to spread propaganda, that it was farthest from their minds to start such a movement in America for the reason that conditions are bo vast ly different that it would be almost impossible, but rather their obpect was to make fliis tour a pilgrimage of friendship, to give American students some first hand information about the almost hopeless economic and politi cal conditions in Central Europe. He stated that the great majority of stu dents associated with the youth move ment in Holland were not socialists, because they do not approve of the strong class consciousness and class war which socialists advocate; rather this class consciousness is something; that is entirely lost in the associations (Continued on Page Four.)
