UNIVERSITY OF
Prints Paper to Prove Travelers
Should Abandon Yuma Highway
Several copies of the "Salome
Sun" of Salome, Ariz., "Where she
danced," edited by DeForrest W.
Hall, ex-98, have been received by
Harold Holtz, alumni secretary. The
undying purpose of the' " as its
publisher announces, is to give the
reasons why the Arizona roadway
should go through Salome, "Where
she danced," wther than through
Yuma, as it docs now.
The editor, better known as "Dick
Wick" Hall, admits that Salome,
"Where she danced," is surrounded
on all four sides by Arizona, and
that it is within 100 miles of Yuma,
but aside from that, the town is a
perfectly desirable place.
The paper is a satirical criticism
upon the "Yumaresquo" road, which
is supposedly "100 miles out of the
way and takes more time, and costs
more money" when one 13 traveling
from Phoenix to Los Angeles."
According to "Dick Wick" Hall,
The Sahara desert and hell are
shady oasis compared to the glisten
ing, glaring, drifting sand dunes on
the 'Yumaresque' trail. There is no
bottom to the sand; if there is, no
auto owner has ever been ahle to
find it."
"Dick Wick" advocates that you

NEBRASKA, LINCOLN,
lome and Blythe, "About 100 miles
the shortest and 100 per cent the
best way." He advises traveler to
"go by Salome, where she danced,
and fill up on laughing gas; play golf
on the greasewood golf course, and
sleep at the Blue Rock Inn.
Mr. Hall describes the Yuma road
as picturesque and grotesque; a
plasterers dream with plenty of sand
and Dante's inferno, up to date.
Hall's publication comes in mime
ographed form, and has attracted no
tice all over the country. Reprints
of the "Sun" have appeared in the

HENDERSON SPEAKS
AT WORLD FORUM
Detroit Bishop Lectures on
, Isosceles Christianity at
Luncheon.
Dr. Theodore S. Henderson, Meth
odist bishop of Detroit, Mich., lec
tured at the world forum luncheon
Wednesday noon at the Grand hotel
Bishop Henderson spoke on Isosce
les Christianity." He was intro
duced by Chancellor S. Avery.
Dr. Henderson told about a Cor
nell university student who asked
the question, "What does it mean to
be a Christian?"
"To be a Christian," the bishop
answered, "is to treat God like a
father, to live like the Son of God,
and to treat everyone else like a
member of the family."
"It is impossible to have a brother
hood of man without a fatherhood
of God," said the bishop. "God, as
a Father, has expectations of us,
and we have obligations to the
Father. If we are going to treat
everyone else like a member of the
family, there must be no' recognition
of caste (financial, intellectual or
social), race, creed, color or nation
ality."
Dr. Y. Y. Tsu, professor of St. John
Colleee at Shanghai, will speak at
the next world forum luncheon March
19. His subject will be, "China of
Today."

DEBATERS CLASH
ON IMMIGRATION
Nebraska Defends Prohibitive
Proposal Against South
Dakota.
STAGE HOT CONTEST
IN CRr OED ARMORY
The immigration problem was
turned upside down, dissected, ex
amined, and solutions proposed by
Nebraska and South Dakota debaters
before a crowd that filled nearly
every scat in Memorial hall last night.
The arguments were broadcast by
the University radio station WFAV
to a crowd, the size of which will
never bo known.
Nebraska maintained the affirma
tive of the question, "Resolved, That
the United States should prohibit
immigration for five years." Ne
braska's negative team will clash with
Iowa at Iowa tonight. Sheldon Tef ft,
former debater and winner of the
Rhodes scholarship, has been actively
in charge of the work in Nebraska s
think shop" this year.
Professor M. M. Fogg, director of
the School of Journalism, who has
been in charge of debating at Ne
braska for twenty-three years, stated
that this was the fortieth debate
which has been held on this campus
since he came here. The debate was
held on the plan adopted in 1920 of
having no judges. Justice G. A. Day
of the supreme court, who presided
as chairman, said after the debate
that if he were to be asked to decide
it, he would prefer to take the mat
ter under advisement.
Eyer Opens Dicuion.
Devon C. Eyer, Law '26, opened
the debate as first speaker for Ne
braska. He proved that present im
migration as a class is undesirable.
The-utheastern Europeans are
racially unassimable, their economic
standard is exceedingly low and
their political training is different.
The northwestern Europeans who
come here lack permanency and are
not adapted to manual labor. These
countries try to send us only the
undesirable element. North Ameri
can immigration is confined to those
who come but temporarily to take
advantage of economic opportuni
ties.
Edward L. Peterson, Law '25, was
the first speaker for South Dakota
and proved that present European
conditions are such as to cause a bet
ter type of immigrant to come. We
are now getting the middle class of
Europe which includes scholars, doc
tors, poets, artists, musicians and
others who will make good Ameri
can citizens. He advocated a policy
of selection abroad. A system could
also be worked out, he said, to send
them to the sections of the country
in which they are needed and prevent
congestion in large cities.
Gayle C. Walker, '24, second
speaker for Nebraska, argued that
prohibition is desirable for our eco
nomic welfare. He showed that it
will help maintain American stand
ards of living, that cheap labor does
not prove cheap in the long run, and
that present labor conditions do not
warrant more immigration. There
are twenty-one surplus workers for
every hundred jobs, he said.
Advocates Selection Abroad.
Charles B. Penfold, '25, second
South Dakota speaker, maintained
that Americanization . and assimila
tion can be carried on without pro
hibiting immigraton. If immigrants
are selected abroad, he said, they
will be the type that are easily as
similated. The second generation of
mmigrants present a serious prob
lem because of the unfavorable
vironment .in which they have been
thrust, but prohibition cannot af
fect or alleviate those conditions.
That proper Americanization does
demand prohibition of immigration,
was the contention of Wendell Bre,
'25, Nebraska. Only 52.3 per cent of
our, population is native white of
native parentage. We are behind in
our Americanization because foreign
ers are not becoming naturalized,
many cannot speak English, and few
of them know what Americanism
means. They are disturbing factors
politically and socially.
Howard Kramer, '24, concluded
the direct argument for South Da
kota by showing that to prohibit im
migration would retard the growth
of American industry because indu."
try is dependent on immigrant labor
and we now have a labor shortage.
The south is in need of immigrants
