FLEHERTY EXPLAINS PARTY DIFFERENCES Democratic Candidate for Attorney-general Addresses World Forum. The fundamental differenca be tween the Republican and Democrat ic partiea were explained by Harry B. Fleherty, Omaha attorney, and Dem ocratic candidate for attorney-general of Nebraska, at the World Forum luncheon Wednesday at the Grand Hotel. The proposed constitu tional amendment to remove the party circle and party designations from the ballot was attacked by the speak er. "Since the time of Alexander Ham ilton those in the party now known as the Republican party have believed in the absolute sovereignty of the gov ernment. They have held the govern ment is supreme and that the people have only such rights as the govern ment gives them," decalred Mr. Fle hcarty. Parties Not Sam. "The followers of Thomas Jeffer son, the Democrats, believe that the people are supreme and that the gov ernment has only such powers as the people confer upon it. The idea ad vanced recently that the two parties are fundamentally the same is ab surd," continued the speaker. Following up the difference be tween the parties, Mr. Fleherty showed how this difference was evi dent in the tariff policies of the two. The Republicans aid certain individ uals by erecting a high tariff wall irotecting a certain industry while the democrats favor tariff only as a means of raising necessary revenue. Tariff Not for Farmer. "It is absolutely impossible to help the farmer by putting a high tariff on agricultural products," said Mr. Fleherty, "because the farmer is not confronted with an incoming supply which h mnt comnete against: his problem is to market a surplus." Mr. Fleherty opposed the amend ment to take the party circle and designation off the ballot. He said that the principle of the parties, which he held were fundamental and necessary differences, would be lost and the entire responsibility thrown on the individual.

STUDENTS ASKED TO TRY OUT FOR SQUADS The Question selected by Delta Sigma Rho, national intercollegiate debate society, for the interclass de bates this year, has been changed. The question now reads, "Should State Governments Make the Ku Klux Klan Illegal?" The change in the question was made because of a lack of definite understanding of the meaning of the word "legislate." The subject for the debate as the question is now stated, is that of making the plan illegal, and not merely legislating against it. Students who wish to' try out for the teams should leave their names with Hugh Cox in the Daily Nebras kan office, by Monday evening. The time and place of the Tuesday try outs will be anonunced Tuesday morning. Each speaker in the tryouts will be given five minutes and should use both direct argument and refutation in his speech. The first speaker will be limited to four minutes of direct argument, but will be allowed two minutes for rebuttal after the other speeches. Debates will be held within a month after tryouts. The fieshmen debate the sophomores and the jun iors and seniors meet in the first round debates. The two winners will meet later in the finals. Last year the freshmen came out winners, de bating on the question of the uni cameral legislature. All students with debating experi ence in high schools or in University are urged to compete in the tryouts. Judges will be composed of the fac ulty and alumni debaters in the city.

IAHTS HARiSMEN;' FOR RIFLE SQUAD Captain Eggers Says Letters Will Be Given to Men Shooting in Matches. Captain L. W. Eggers, director of rifle marksmanship, has issued a call for men to try out for the rifle team. As a result of the action of the Athletic department last year, men shooting in a specified number of matches will receive an N. This classifies rifle marksmanship as a minor sport at the University. Bui recently the N club announced that men receiving the letter awarded for marksmanship would be eligible for membership. Any man eligible for any other sport is now eligible for competition in rifle matches and eligible lor competition for the N, according to Captain Eggers. Placed upon this new basis, it is hoped that instead of winning forty-eight of fifty-one matches as the team did last year, it can every one of them this year. No matches have been scheduled yet. It is thought possible that the team may make one trip to fire on another course and invite one team here to fire on this course. As soon as a schedule is arranged and the team is picked, record fire will start. DISCDSS ENGINEERING WORK Wiikendon Confers with Dean Fergu son ob Investigation. W. E.

PRICE 5 CENTS sororities have been placed on . the University Senate commit on prooauon: SORORITIES. Kappa Alpha Theta Delta Gamma Pi Beta Phi Gamma Phi Beta Alpha Phi Chi Omega Kappa Kappa Gamma Delta Delta Delta The following motions were unan mously passed by the committee at its meeting at 4 o clock at tllen Smith Hall: 1. One downtown representative party and one house party shall be subtracted from the minimum num ber usually allowed during the year and this shall constitute the max imum number of parties given. 2. Any organiztion violating any University rule is thereby automatic ally placed on probation. 3. Any organization on probation again violating a rule shall become subject to the penalty of being for bidden the privilege to schedule any further during the year, and to such other penalties as may be imposed. Investigations have not . been com pleted, it was stated by members of the committee, and fraternities and sororities later found to have given "sneak-night" parties will be pun ished with the rest. Miss Amanda Heppner, dean cf women, issued the following state ment: "When it comes to harmless pranks such as have been played in the past by unmixed groups, and not until the second semester, such seri ous action is not necessary; but when they violate laws of the University and set a precedent for other groups, then it is really a serious matter and one that requires action on the part of the University authorities." Infractions of two University rules were committed by those who attend ed "sneak-night" parties, Miss Hepp ner stated. The holding of mid-week parties is one, and the holding of a party not scheduled with the author ities and without chaperones is the other. The motions passed by the com mittee are retroactive, beginning with the present school year. Gen eral indignation was felt by members of the committee, it was stated, but more stringent action was not taken because it was thought that ths freshmen were not acquainted with University rules. Some of these parties, it was said, were held at parks and clubhouses outside of Lincoln, and others at party houses in town. One of the ob jections was that the parties lasted later than 10:30, the hour at which all University women are expected to be at home. Usually the parties were informal dances. :'SCHDLTE NEEDS MEN Graduation of Hartman and Bassett Leaves Nebraska Weak Track Team. All men who intend to try out for the 1925 Cornhusker track team in the weight events should report for workouts at once, according to Head Track Coach H. F. Schulte. Ced Hart man, Nebraska weight man on the 1924 track team, is on hand every day at 6 o'clock to coach the aspirants in the weight events. Hartman and Bassett, Nebraska's representatives in thii event last year, have been graduated, leaving the Husker track team weak in these events. Coach Schulte declares that it is necessary fo candidates in the shot put, discus, und javelin to repr.-t for this fall training, because the track season will start off with a rush in the spring, and it will be too late to develop any irien in these events at ?hat time. Hartman, who is doing the coaching this fall in these events, was a consistent winner in Kansas and Drake relays, as well as all tie Val ley meets, for the last three yexrs. to needed.
