The complete program for the

"There are many different types
of work that one may take up in the
church," said Dr. D. R. Leland, Pres
byterian student pastor in comment
ing on the need for more workers in
the churches. "There are opportun
ities for work in social settlements
and as religious directors. The unique
feature of the plan this years is
that the several teams that have
heretofore come individually will
come simultaneously."
The meetings will open with a ban
quet for all visiting secretaries, the
students pastors at Nebraska, and the
committee, which will be held at the
Temple at 6 o'clock Saturday. The
women secretaries will be guests of
the Y. W. C. A. at the big and little

U, S, HEEDS COURAGE
IN FOREIGN POLICY
HAMILTON HOLT
Convocation Speaker Believes
European Civilization Is
Evaporating.
"What we need In Washington is
a foreign policy with someone at the
helm with the courage of Roosevelt,
the humanity of Taft, and the vision
of Wilson," Hamilton Holt declared
at convocation yesterday mrning.
MlTmATia is e511 cinlriYio TnlitiAllv And
AMAtfr I. DV... kJ""
civilization is evaporating. If Eng
land had not been standing in the
breach while the United States was
on the sidelines, I don't knew how
things would be," he stated.
Mr. Holt said that the League of
Nations has two purposes: To pro
mote world peace and to promote
world progress. He pointed out that
the kind of criticism offered against
the league four years ago was bo
longer valid since the league had
proved its value in the intervening
time. Health, work, sanitation and
suppression of epidemics, the sav
ing of Austria from rum, suppres
sion of white slavery and opium traf
fic, straiehtening of world transpor
tation routes, and planning for the
compensation of scientific discover
ers are some of the accomplishments
of the league according to the speak
er.
The distinct difference" between
the World Court and the League of
Nations was pointed out during the
address. The United States can join
oither of the two or can use the
ronrt without ioining it If she joins
the court she will have to pay $27,000
voir. The leaeue is in no way
connected with the court and has
no power over it as the latter body
is concerned wth legal questions
only.

Saturday. The Iowans have met and
defeated both Michigan and Minne
sota. Nebraska lost to Ames last
week after leading the Iowa state
squad to the end of the fourth match.
The Iowans have a slight edge, as
two of the Husker performers are
likely to be out of the contest with
injuries. Coach Mike Howard of the
Old Gold team reports his proteges
to be in the best of condition. The
Husker mentor stated yesterday, con
cerning the Saturday classic, that,
win or lose. Iowa will know she has
been through a real wrestling match.
Coach Clapp and his assistants
have been putting the men through
a week of tough workouts and, with
the exception of Uhlir and Highly,
they -are in the best of condition
Uhlir received a dislocated shoulder
in the Tuesday drubbing. Highly is
just recovering from injuries re
ceived in both the Northwestern and
Ames meets. Nebraska has defeated
the Hawkeyes for the last three
years.
In the bantamweight division Iowa

conference champion in the 115
pound group, while Nebraska colors

exhibition seen in the Ames meet
in the featherweight division.

the invaders, will meet Mooberry,

of Uhlir for Nebraska. Mooberry
has given Uhlir tough competition all

class. Gratten and Thomas will grap
ple in the light-heavy department

a fall in 29 seconds against the Goph
ers three weeks ago, will tussle Rob
ertson in the 158 meeting. The heavy
weight class which has caused the
Huskers much trouble throughout the
season, will be represented byeither
Highly or Hamsa, the latter being the
choice of Coach Clapp should Highly
be unable to don the tights. The
Husker grappler will meet Krasuski,
the 215 pounder from the tall corn
ste.

NEW ORGANIZATION
DISPLACES A. A, E,
Nebraska Engineering Society
Takes Place of Local
Chapter.
TO ELECT OFFICERS SOON
A new engineering organization,
the Nebraska Engineering society,
was formed at a meetingxrf engineer
ing students yesterday morning. A
constitution and a set of by-laws were
adopted and a pin selected. Officers
of the organization and of the Blue
print, student engineering magazine,
will be nominated at a meeting to be
held next Thursday.
The society will take the place of
the local chapter of the American
Association of Engineers. Engineer
ing students felt that the returns
from the national organization were
not commensurate with the dues paid.
All engineers who belong to a de
partmental organization will auto
matically become members of this
new society.
Under the terms of the adopted
constitution the society proposes to
support University athletics, and the
sudent engineering publication, the
Blueprint It will sponsor the an
nual engineers week.
The pin adopted was the insignia
of an engineering organization that
existed at the University many years
ago. It is a gold "N" on a blue field
with the words "Nebraska Engineer
ing Society" around the edge. Stu
dents who desire to have one of
these pins should leave their names
with the treasurer of their depart
mental organization.
The committee which drew up the
constitution and by-laws was as fol
lows: Judson Meier, Max Shostak,
Roy Randolph, Robert Slaymaker,
Warren Pillsbury, and Orve Heddon.

Initiation of the students who ap
plied for membership in the Art club
and whose work was satisfactory to
the membership committee, will take
place following an Art club supper
in the art gallery at 6 o'clock this
evening. Lillian Aspegren, Dorothy
Bell, and Mildred Nissen are the
members of the initiation committee.
The new members, are: Louise
Austin, Emelyh Avery, Peter Conig
lio, Dorothea Dawson, Ernva Guhl,
Gertrude Haslam, ' Lewis Hastings,
George Herron, Torgny Knudsen,
Hulda Reidler, Elizabeth Roberts,
Olivia Van Anda, Wilaniae Harvey,

THIRD PLACE TIE
CRASHES TONIGHT
Nebraska Cagers to Meet Pik
ers in Second Encounter
at Coliseum.
VICTOR MAY PLACE
SECOND IN VALLEY
The tie for third place in the Mis
souri Valley basketball race will be
broken tonight at the coliseum when
Husker cagemen clash wit hthe Pi
kers for the second time. The los
ing team will drop to fourth place,
and the victor will have a fighting
chance for second., place honors
against Oklahoma.
The lineup tonight will probably
be the same that faced Grinnell last
week: Capt Billy Usher and Cozier,
forwards, Goodson center, and Volts
and Tipton guards.
Entertainment will be furnished
between halves by the band which is
getting up some clever places for the
ten-minute rest period. Duke Glea
son will lead the cheering. R. O. T.
C. men will have charge of ushering.
Dopa Favor Nebraska.
The Nebraskan camp has been pre
paring for the battle strenuously all
week. According to familiar bmut
unreliable old man dope, Nebraska
should win the fray tonight if the
game two weeks ago at St. i uis
counts for anything. Nebraska
trounced the. Pikers 32 to 24 :n the
Husker invasion of the Southland.
The game tonight is crucial. Wash
ington is coming north with blood
in her eye, after revenge for the
neat defeat handed them by the
Scarlet and Cream aggregation at
St Louis. The Pikers were first
place contenders at the beginning
of the season, and they are putting
up a hard fight to keep from sinking
into second division.
Regulars and Seconds Race.
Second team men who were in ac
tion in the Grinnell game last Friday
have been giving the first string men
a stiff race for their berths in the
practice sessions. It is coming to
the point where there is no second or
first team but one big team of ten
men interchangeable in any position.
Ekstrom, Beerkle, DeWitz and Black
are reserves who may play tonight.
GLEE CLUBS WILL
FORM CONFERENCE
Eight Valley Schools to Con
duct Contest for Singers
Next Year.
Eight universities belonging to the
Missouri Valley athletic conference
will send representatives to Kansas
City in 1925 to compete in a glee
club contest. The tentative d-ate c-
lected for this meet is February 14,
1925, according to the announcement
made yesterday by the Missouri Val
ley Intercollegiate Glee club associa
tion, the organization responstbie for
the contest
The association met January J 5 in
Kansas City and at that time per
fected the details of its organ teation
and the rules which will govern
the proposed glee club meet. Ropr;
sentatives from every Valley confer
ence school with the exception of
Grinnell were present at this meeting.
Grinnell is -already a member of a
similar organization 'which has its
headquarters at Chicago.
A Kansas City alumni committee
working with the committee which
met January 26 will form a council
which will meet on October 4 to com
plete the detailed plans for the an
nual contest. T. A. Larremore and
Guy W. Green are the Nebraska
alumni on this council. Nebraska
men in attendance at the first meet
ing of the council were: Harold F.
Holtz, Sutton Morris, James R. Far
ney, Guy W. Greon, Dwight McVick
er, and Allan StuLbs.
Work on Outdoor
Track In Delayed
Work on the outdoor quarter-mil
track in the stadium has been delayev -due
to the frozen ground and to the
scarcity of top cinders. According to
E. E. Church, foreman in charge, it
is doubtful whether the track will be
in good condition for the interfra
ternity meet March 10.
Some smoothing of the- Lack has
been done, bat it w almost impos
sible to accomplish much on account
of the cold weather.
