FRESHMEN WIN
CLASS DEBATE
Get Unanimous Decision Over
Sophomores j Will Meet
Juniors in January.
FIRST-YEAR TEAM
ARGUES FOR KLAN
The freshman debate team earned
the right to enter the interclass finals
Thursday evening by defeating' the
sophomores by unanimous decision,
upholding the negative of the ques
tion, "Resolved, That state govern
ments should declare the Ku Klux
Klan illegal."
The members of the freshman
team are George Healy, Lincoln;
Charles Speedie, Lincoln; and David
Shor, Omaha.
The debate was' hold before a small
audience in Social Science Auditor
ium. The final debate between the
freshmen and the juniors will be held
the middle of January, the freshmen
taking the negative and the juniors
the affirmative of the question.
Torre? Ii Chairman.
Volta M. Torrey, '26, intercollegi
ate debater, acted as chairman. The
direct argument speeches were ten
minutes in length and the rebuttal
speeches five minutes. George John
son, freshman, and Archie weaver,
sophomore, were time-keepers. The
sophomore team is composed of Ber-
tran V. Tipples, Rudolph Hedges,
and Philip Leidenheim.
Bertan V. Tipples, affirmative
first speaker, established that the
Klan promotes lawlessness. "The
Klan has a bad psychological effect
upon the people of the United
States," he said.
George Healey, the first speaker
for the negative stated that the Ku
Klux Klai is not a great public men
ace. "The Klan is just another fra
ternal organization," he stated, "and
should be treated on a par with them.
We are not going to declare the Ma
sonic Order or the Knights of Colum
bus illegal; then why should we pick
out the Ku Klux Klan and declare
it illegal?"
Says Promotes Hatred.
The argument for the affirmative
was continued by Rudolph Hedges,
who pojnted out that the Klan .pro
motes racial hatred. This argument
was answered by Charles Speedie, the
second speaker for the negative, who
established that other organizations,
such as the Masonic order and the
labor unions, have had unfavorable
public opinion centered upon them
but still were not abolished.
Philip Leidenheim concluded the
direct argument speeches of the af
firmative. "The Klan is a political
menace for the following reasons,"
he said. "First, it is a direct threat to
politicians and brings undue pressure
to bear upon them. In the second
place it brings race and religious
questions into politics. The Klan ab
solutely controls politics by force
and corruption."
The negatiye case was concluded
by -David Sher, who challenged the
affirmative to prove that illegalizing
the Ku Klux Klan would be effective
in abolishing it "It is impossible,"
he said, "To illegalize the Klan.
There is no plan which will work ef
fectively toward this end without re
sorting to despotism."
The rebuttal speeches of the de
bate were lively and animated.
At the close of the debate the
freshman team met with a represen
tative from the junior team and it
was decided that the freshmen would
keep the negative side of the ques
tion in the final debate.
The decision was given by Prof. R.
S. Boots and Prof. L. E. Aylsworth
of the political science department of
the University and Mr. T. S. Dunn,
instructor in English and debate
coach at Lincoln high school.

Dean LeRossignol's Economics Book
Commented on Favorably in Review
"Economics for Everyman," by
Dean J. E. LeRossignol of the College
of Business Administration is review
ed in a recent number of The Ameri
ca Economic Review by Prof. John
Ise of the University of Kansas. Pro
fessor Ise says of Dean Le Rossig
nol's work:,
Economics for Everyman is not a
"potboiler" of the conventional type,
with the customary cut-and-dricd
chapters on economic history, produc
tion, consumption, business organi
zation, noney, banking, value, distri
bution, rent, wages, interest, etc. The
book differs in a number of respects
from most elementary texts on eco
nomics. In the first place Dean Le
Rossignol has made liberal use of ma
terial from all the social sciences,
particularly from history and soci
ology. The historical background of
modern questions is everywhere
stressed, and the historical material
is not dumped in a few chapters at
the beginning but is used in connec
tion with the particular problems it
is intended to illuminate. Similarly,
there js included material from what
would ordinarily be called commer
cial "eography, but it is used "where

Weller Comes Back
To Visit University
John H. Weller, ex-08, was a vis

Thursday. Mr. Weller was a civil
engineering student and football star

A gift that will make Minneapolis

it will do the most good," in con
nection with specific economic ques
tions. Professor Le Rossignol's years
of careful study and scholarly re
search are well shown by the breadth
of the field from which he takes his
material, as well as by the balanced
and judicious quality of his conclu
sions. There is little pointless abstract
reasoning, unconnected with concrete
problems. There is no chapter on
value, with the customary hair-splitting
about margins and abstract
value. On the contrary, supply and
demand are briefly but clearly dis
cussed in connection vith certain
specific problems, including those of
wages and interest. It seems to have
been the purpose of the writer to
bring up no abstract principles that
he could not clothe with some mean
ing by the use of illusti-cive material.
One result of this is that the book is
concrete and interesting; and it will
doubtless be read even by people who
do not have to read it The style
is clear and graphic, as would b&
expected.

It is believed that concentration
of medical facilities of Minneapolie
with those of the University will pre
sent increased facilities for medical
research, as well as better treatment
of patients in the city hospitaL
At the present time cooperation
between the city and the University
iii medical and dental work is very
pronounced, but the gift would allow
even more of this. Minneapolis could
become the medical center of the
world, occupying the same position
as Vienna in Europe.
If the University obtains the re
nnired amount from outside sources.
the total amount of the fund would
be $3,600,000, which would help to
further work along the general pro
gram of the University.
BIZADS HOLD
CONVOCATION
Program Is Entirely by Mem
bers; Dean LeRossignol
Gives Keynote Speech.
TELLS RELATION OF
COLLEGE TO WORLD
The largest business Administra
tion convocation in the history tf
the college was held in Social Scien e
Auditorium at 1 o'clock yesterdaj.
The dean of the college was the prin
cipal speaker in the discussion of the
relation of the 851 Bisad students
to the college, the University, the
state and the world.
The program was presented entire
ly by the members of the Bizad Col
lege. Sutton Morris, chairman of the
committee, presided, and the Kandy
Kids played a few numbers at the
beginning of the meeting. The col
lege program for the year includes
regular convocations, the purpose of
which is to promote unity and spirit
in the interests of the college.
Are Leaders.
"I am proud to be a senior in this
college," declared Maurice Hanna
ford. "We have a recognized stand
ing among the other schools of the
country. Many of our fifty instruc
tors are recognized as leaders in
their own particular field."
Although only one among twelve
colleges, the Bizads furnished half
the material for athletic letters last
year, he showed. "Talk, live, sleep,
and dream the banquet and when
January 23 omes eat the darn
thing," he asked in a plea for sales
men for the commercial students'
banquet
"The world doesn't owe us any
thing, while we owe the world every
thing. Start in to pay your debts
now," said Dean J. E. Le Rossignol,
in speaking on "851 for the World."
Should Have Object.
"Everyone should have a fighting
instinct don't fight among your
selves, but be proud to fight for
some object" asked the dean. "Too
much competition is war, of course,
but a little is a good thing. You expect
to go to the business man, when you
graduate, to ask him to give you a
good position and salary. He asks
what you have done You have sung,
danced, played (all very good in their
place), but you must have some fur
ther qualifications for life. Study
with an idea of your future voca
tion," he concluded.
A. G. Hinman, assistant professor
of advertising and sales management,
spoke of "The 851 plus 50." "The
teaching force of fifty should not
merely be your instructors," he said.
"Give them your friendship and de
mand theirs of them.
"How are you preparing to take
your place in the world?" he de
manded. "If you are not interesting
yourself in others you will fit poorly
in to the scheme.

Alumni Office Receives Letter Telling
Of Work at Hospital in Madura, India
A letter which Mr. and Mrs. (Har
riet M. Wyman, '14) Edward W.
Wilder recently sent out telling of
their work at Albert Viccor Hospital,
American Madura Mission, Madura,
South Iindia, has been received by
the alumni office and was reprinted
in the December number of the Ne
braska Alumnus.
The letter says in part:
"During March the weather be
came progressively warmer. Al
though we both stood our first hot
season on the plains pretty well, we
were glad to pack off to the hills of
Kodai which we had left only five
months before.
"We came down from the hills in
the middle of June. The great heat
of the sun was somewhat tempered
by the switching wind of the mon
soon, which deposited dust on every
thing and everybody, all the time.
Five days later, the Ford arrived,
and my (Dr. Wilder) spare time wa
spent in learning how to drive it
"A little more than a month later,
I received the wire which called me
to the bedside of Dr. Van Allen. It
was then that the Ford was invalua
ble, and hardly a day passed that I
did not make the trip one way over
the eighteen-mile road, as I tried to
take care of him, and at the same
time keep an eye on the hospitaL
It was a month of wearing strain, and
when at last he passed peacefully
away, I felt the need of a few days
of rest ... So Harriet and I
made arrangements and went down
to a little town on the southeast coast
for a week-end by the sea.
. "We came back much refreshed, I
to the hospital, and Harriet to her
school work, which now included the
supervision of the four city schools
