From one department a desk or a table would disappear. It was found in the Nebraskan off ice At another time all of the copy paper would be gone. It was found in the Cornhusk er office. Thus everything was car ried back and forth except the steam pipes, and there was said to have been great enmity that grew with the age of the two pubications until the situation became so serious that the publications were moved into the same office and the typewriters scattered about evenly and the copy paper purchased indiscriminately apd the chairs issued with great profu sion but the situation was but ag gravated. There was no peace.

There were more wounds and there was more salt and there were tender spots and there were coarse weapons. Even, 'tis said, t.iere was alarm. Mighty and worthy peace pow -s were called to rescue. The case was heard with justice-seeking ears and there were many days of haranguing over the evidence. The decision has been handed down. It came with a stroke of the hammer and the buzz of a saw. To day you walk into the combined of fices and their is a forbidding parti tion and above all there is harmony harmony bought at the price of a carpenter's wages and a woodman's saw. PAN-I1EL FORMAL PLANSJ10MPLETE Fraternities and Sororities Are Asked to Turn in Crests by Friday. USE STREAMERS, CRESTS, PINS, FOR DECORATIONS With all the tickets sold and plans nearly completed, the annual Pan Hellenic formal, scheduled for the Scottish Rite Temple Saturday night, will exceed in splendor and beauty any formal of the season, according to committeemen and decorators. Fraternities and sororities that will have their representatives at the for mal are requested to turn their pins and crests in by Friday so that the plan of decoratiou may be completed in plenty of tune for the opening of the ball. Streamers, crests, pins, and other well-planned decorations will convert the Temple into a mass of color that will lend an artistic air to the ball rooom. An orchestra the same one that furnished the music for the Mili tary Ball and which proved so pop ular at that event will play for the formal. As a special favor, the Kos- met Klub will allow the orchestra to play a selection from "The Wishing Wing", the play to be presented this spring. Quite in keeping with the reform that has been advocated on the cam- cos this year, members of the Kosmet Klub have asked men not to send cor sages, and to trade dances as often as possible during the eveniag. This, they maintain, will lend more enjoy ment to the formal Chancellor and Mrs. Avery will chaperone the party. Other chaper ones and patronesses will be an nounced tomorrow. "Mud" Gardner to Be Back Second Semester Maurice "Mud" Gardener, captain of the track team and president of the N club will be back in school next semester, according to informa tion received yesterday. "Mud" is one of the main cogs in Nebraska's cinder squad and his loss would have hampered competition considerable. "Mod" has shown exceptional speed in the quarter-mile race, holding the Nebraska record for that event.

BARKER TALKS ON HEREDITY IN MAN Says Education is Important Means of Improving Fu ture Generations. SHOWS PICTURES OF ABNORMAL CHILDREN Sterilization, segregation, legisla tion, and education are the means by which the future generations will be bettered and the tendency toward ab normality decreased. The most im portant of these is education, declar ed Dr. F. D. Barker of the depart ment of zoology before the freshmen lecture students of the College of Arts and Sciences, Monday evening and Tuesday morning. The subject of his illustrated talk was "Heredity in Animals and Mankind." The characters of the next genera tion are up to us, he said. It is a question of whether we shall have abnormal people such as are filling our prisons or whether we shall have the type of great leaders, such as General Pershing. There is a law in the State of Ne braska against marriage betwen first and second cousins. It is a good biological law, according to the speaker as it tends to allow for the destroying of abnormal characteris tics which might otherwise be per petuated within the family. Show Pictures of Shacks Environment plays a large part in the development of normal and ab normal people and the perpetuation of those characteristics through here dity. Some pictures of delapidated shacks in Lincoln which were used as homes, and pictures of the chil dren reared in them, were shown. The-children who are forced to live in such places are frequently abnor mal. Heredity, explained Dr. Barker, is the phenomena and laws that regu late the relation of the young to the parent. It is a characteristic of all living things, whether plant or ani mal. Man is the most complex of all animals, both with regard to his structure and the working of the structure. It is due to this complex ity that the study of heredity in man is particularly interesting. Have Simple Reprodactioa " In studying zoology it is found that the existence of an animal is controlled by two very definite pur poses that of preserving and that of producing progeny. All animals hunt food to sustain life, and they in turn try to keep from becoming food for some other animaL Progeny keep the specie from becoming ex terminated. The lower animals reproduce very simply. Paramecia, for instance, merely divide in two. Others, like the hydra, bud. In higher animals, however, nature has provided a better type of propa gation with respect to heredity. All animals have two parents, even f .-om the sponges up to man. Each par ent contributes equally to the off spring the characteristics of heredity. ChroMioaoaDe Deteraaiae Heredity. Chromosomes, found in the cell nucleus, are thought to be the deter miners of heredity. Chromosomes carry both physical and mental char acteristics such as color of eyes and hair, size, and insanity. No disease can be inherited, de clared Dr. Barker, but the tendency toward certain diseases is inherited. Such is the case with tuberculosis, cancer and insanity. Club Offers Prize for University Night Skit The Ag Club is offering a prize for the best skit written to represent the Ag College at the University night program. The contest is open to any pro fessor or student in the Ag College. The winner will receive two free tickets, and bis name will be printed on the program as author of the skit. All entries must be in by Jan uary 20. Missouri Entries in the twenty first annual corn show, to be held at the College of Agriculture, indi cate the 1924 show will be the larg est ever held in Columbia. Speci mens are being brought in by the bushel as wel las in single lets for the first time. Student Delegates to Speak at Forum Dinner Wendell Berge and Josephine Shramek, delegates to the Student Volunteer convention held in Indian apolis during the holidays, will talk at the World Forum luncheon to morrow at the Grand hotel. Berge spoke before the convention on the League of Nations and the World Court. Of the seven thousand students six thousand voted for this method of war prevention. lie was one of the eight students to be chosen from the United States to speak ex temporaneously on the problems considered. BAR FRESHMEN FROM HUSKER RIFLE TEAM First-year Men Declared Ineli gible for Intercollegiate Gun Competition. The entire University rifle team announced by Coach Huskea yester day has been recalled, and a new list will be published tomorrow if the new team can be selected by then. The reason for the cancellation of the appointments announced yester day is that a University ruling pro hibits freshmen from representing the University m intercollegiate sports. The rifle team ranks as a minor sport now, and all freshmen are barred on that account from in tercollegiate contests. Four freshmen who were put on the University in tercollegiate team are affected by the ruling, and their places will have to be filled by upperclassmen. Captain Huskea said yesterday however that this ruling applied only to the intercollegiate matches that are being fired each week with col leges from all parts of the United States. Freshmen will be allowed on the twenty-one man team which will represent Nebraska in the William I Randolph Hearst trophy matches, be cause that is an R. O. T. C. contest and not intercollegiate. To HTe Threa Teams. There will be three teams of seven men each entered in Hearst trophy matches. The dale for the match has not been set but will prob ably come some time in the spring after the intercollegiate matches are over. Freshmen will be eligible for the teams. Captain Huskea is planning to have a freshman team composed of those men who are not allowed to participate in the intercollegiate matches and who will make the Hearst trophy matches. In addition he will have other good shots among freshmen on the freshman team, as suring competition. Have Two Coaches. The gallery is open for men three days a week all day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and on Sat urday morning. All men who were on the list announced yesterday may come up and practice on these days. Individual coaching will be given by Captain Huskea and Sergeant Rich ardson as soon as the program is un der way. The Hearst trophy matches are arousing nation-wide interest, and practically all R. O. T. C. units in the United States are entered, as well as the various military acade mies. The headquarters of the match are at Chicago. There will be prizes for the winning teams as well as gold medals for members of the win ning team and for high men in the whole shoot. Members of the intercollegiate team are expected to practice as often as possible in the gallery. The regular weekly required shooting for each member is forty shots in the four standard positions on a prop erly registered target, with the fir ing attested by an army officer.

Studies Educational Methods of England I. S. Cutter, dean of the Nebraska College of Medicine is back in Omaha after spending thirty days in Eng land studying the methods of edu cation. Early last fall he was grant ed a leave of absence and a sum of money to enable him to make the trip to England find to give him the opportunity of bringing back meth ods that might be used in the College of Medicine. "We are much superior to England in some of our methods in medicine and they are superior to us in others, he said. The trouble with them is they are bound .down with traditions and can't make the changes and im provements they really want to make. "They are waking up to American ideals, and they are much impressed with medical schools in America." Dr. Cutter spent k' time in in tensive study of the medical colleges in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Ox ford and other points, and for the last three days of his stay abroad went to Paris to study the medical schools there.
