The Daily Nebraskan y0L. XXIV NO. 71. AXLING SPEAKS IN CONVOCATION Speaker Points Out Unfairness to the Japanese Race of the Exclusion Act. "JAPANESE-AMERICAN RELATIONS" IS TOPIC .Japanese - American Relations" was the subject of the address by Dr. Willis Axling, '98, at the convoca tion Thursday morning at the Tem ple. Dr. Axling has for twenty-four years beea in missionary work in Ja pan and has an intimate acquaintance with many of the political and intel lectual leaders of the Japanese Em pire. While i Lincoln, Dr. Axling makes twelve speeches of which two have been on the campus, two to the houses of the legislature and others before various religious and civic organiza tions. In addition to his contacts with prominent Japanese, Dr. Ax ling had directed the institutional church in Tokio developed by the Baptist Mission Society which does work similar to the social settlement work in this country. The unfairness of the discrimina tory Exclusion Act directed against the Japanese Nation was pointed out by Dr. Axling in his convocation as he emphasized the importance and the desirability of American co-operation and understanding with Japan. Dr. Axling pointed out that the Japanese did not desire the immigra tion doors to be opened wide or even partially, but that the unnecessary discrimination made the Japanese feel a personal injury. . Had Con gress determined that two per cent of the number which came in in 1890 would be admitted, only 146 Japanese would come in to this coun try under the quota law. As it is, the Act attempts to build a wall on a basis of race between the Orient and the Occident. Urges Japanese Alliance. The speaker painted the picture of the position of America in interna tional matters and the opportunity now presented to her to preserve peace. With England, he pointed out, we can ally ourselves to pre serve the peace of the entire At lantic region. A peaceful alliance with Japan, he declares would pre serve peace about the Pacific. America has the chance to make for world peace, and is in a position to do so. Japan's friendship is one necessary step to be taken. The speaker repeated the thought that it does not require Japanese immi gration, but non-discrimination on account of race. The Gentleman's Agreement if continued or modified even more would have been satisfactory, ac cording to the speaker, and fewer Japanese would have come in than are now being smuggled across the borders. But a direct racial discrim inatory act which the Japanese feel threatens their position, the place they have won for themselves, will not make for better understanding or closer co-operation. World organization for peace and world brotherhood will remain dreams and floating ideals, stated the speaker, unless these fundamen tal and necesary steps are taken to insure a better understanding be tween the nations of the Orient and the Occident.

TAKES STRICT STAND FOR CLEAN ATHLETICS "The standard for athletics at Ne braska embodies strongly-contested and well-officered games played by bona fide students; it firmly opposes anything that is contrary to the spir it of real amateur athletics in the strictest sense of the term." That is the policy of the Univer sity Athletic Board of Control as set out in an article in The Nebraska Alumnus. "As a means of promot ing the welfare of the University of Nebraska and Nebraska athletics, the athletic board has formulated a well defined policy," says the article. "It is the belief of the board that proper athletic training and disci pline is a large factor in the develop ment of physical and moral charac ter. In conformity with this idea, the expansion of intramural athletics is favored strongly. "It is also the opinion that proper ly conducted athletic contests en courage participation in these intra mural sports and, in addition, help to develop a spirit of self-reliance and good sportsmanship. "The maintenance of this standard of athletics is largely dependent up on the character and personnel of the coaches and upon the stability of their positions. The board therefore proposes to use every effort in an attempt to see that the right man is in each coaching position. It furth- proposes to make that man, as nearly as possible, a fixture in Ne braska athletics-. "Such a right man is now being sought for head football coach. Af ter thorough investigation withou. regard for other considerations, the board proposes to select the man who will best fit into Nebraska system and best fulfill Nebraska's needs." The athletic board is composed of eight persons. - University officers are the executive dean, finance sec- retary, conference representat.ve, purchasing agent, student activities manager, and athletic director. Oth er members represent the alumni as sociation and the trust company hold ing the stadium bonds. SENIOR PICTURES COME IN SLOWLY Set Deadline for Those Whose Names Begin with Letters from A to J. Seniors are making their appoint ments for pictures at the two stu dios too slowly, according to Fayne Kmithherrer. editor of the senior section of the Cornhusker. All sen ior pictures must be taken by Janu ary 30. Those whose names begin with letters from "A" to "J" must make appointments at the Townsend or Hauck studios by the end of this week. They will probably not be taken care of after that date because of the lack of time. Seniors listed below should make appointments with the studio for Sat- uurday, January 17. Townsend Studio.

PICK CITY FOR ENGINEER TRIP Upperclassmen Choose Kansas City as Destination for Annual Inspection. PARTY OF 100 WILL LEAVE ON APRIL 6 Kansas City, Missouri, was chosen in preference to Omaha as the desti nation of the annual inspection trip by upperclassmen of the College of Engineering at the balloting Wed nesday. This is the first time for some years that Kansas City has been the destination of the short trip which alternates with the long trip. Oma ha or Chicago has usually been visited. The party of approximately 100 engineering students will leave April 6, according to present plans, and spend five days at Kansas City, visit ing places of professional interest. The engineering faculty is corres ponding with the Kansas City Cham ber .of Commerce and the represen tatives of various engineering con cerns, in order to determine the itinerary. This will be published in The Daily Nebraskan as soon as com pleted. Addresses Students In Home Economics Miss Bess Roe, field editor of the "Farmer's Wife," a magazine pub lished in Minnesota, talked to the stu dents of the Home Economics depart ment on "The Opportunities in Jour nalism and Business for Women with Home Economics Training."

Detail Police to Avert Rioting at Cross- Word Puzzle Contest Oklahoma College Teams Will Contend For State Col legiate Title. A special detachment of police will be detailed by Mayor Cargill of Okla homa City, Oklahoma, to keep order among the cross-word puzzle fans when the University of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma A. & M. College of Stillwater meet in Oklahoma City for the collegiate title. While actual rioting can probably be averted, it is thought best by the officials of the contest to take pre cautionary measures against disor ders. Three students, one faculty mem ber, and one alumnus will compose the team from each school which will meet under the auspices of the Oklahoma chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalis tic fraternity, for the collegiate championship of Oklahoma. Thirty students participated in the tryouts that were held at the Univer sity of Oklahoma last Tuesday eve ning. It was from these tat the three students were selected. The general opinion of those interviewed was that women would probably make poor members of the cross word puzzle team, because of their proclivities for having the last word instead of the first. Dr. J. B. Chea dle, professor of law, was to be the faculty member of the Sooner team while Attorney General George Short has been chosen the alumnus member of the team. A training table has been estab lished in Stillwater, according to ad STUDIES TWO DEPARTMENTS Danish Visitor Examines Methods Used at University. Miss Ulla Christonsen of Denmark spent considerable time during the week with the Home Economics De partment and the Extension Service. Miss Christcnsen has been Bent to this country by her government to study the work given in Home Eco nomics to the college students, as well as that offered the women snd children in home-makjng, especially in rural communities. Miss Christcn sen hopes to establish courses In home-making education when she re turns to Denmark. MANY TEAMS ARE ENTERED IN MATCH UrRe Fraternity Rifle Teams to Complete Scores as Soon as Possible.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON At a recent charity affair some of the high and mighty senior? did their bit by shining shoes. vices received, and it is rumored that an intelligence test will be given all candidates there before the first team of word battlers is selected. Ed. Gallagher, national wrestling coach, and Johnny Maulbetsch, football coach have been selected as trainers. In view of the extreme mental pressure under which the word con testants will have to work, permis sion has been granted to carry five substitutes into the contest. Each school will also be permitted to choose a coach who will occupy a ringside seat during the battle. When ever a member of the team appears to be on the verge of a mental col lapse the coach will be permitted to send in a substitute. No member of the team will be allowed to appear on the lineup more than twice, it was announced. "Avoid all pastries and heavy food Drink milk, eat eggs and meat. Get plenty of rest" is the training pro gram adopted to get the University of Oklahoma team into the pink of condition. "Judging from the English used by the average college student in speaking and writing, and the limits of their vocabularies, they seem to have more knowledge of the football than their mother tongue"- is th statement of Fredrik Holmberg, dean of the college of Fine Arts, when in terviewed in regard to his attitude toward the contest. He was whole heartedly in favor of 'the plan, as were all the other members of the faculty who were interviewed. Cross-word puzzle boards at least six feet square art to be erected so that the fans can easily see the work.
