DISCUSS PEACE
AT WORLD FORUM
Rev. Inglis Asserts Thi Coun
try Must Make Plain a
Desire for Peace.
SAYS GOVERNMENT IS NOT
SHOWING BEST ATTITUDE
"Tho only panacea I can see which
will lead to good feeling among na
tions and relieve the existing animos
ity is for the American people and the
American government to settle the
next problem in a way that will show
the nations with whom wo are likely
to become involved that we want
pcaco and that we will sacrifice to
get peace," declared the Rev E. T.
Inglis, pastor of the Vine Congrega
tional church, in speaking at the
World Forum luncheon Wednesday
noon at the Grand Hotel on "Trying
to Oct Somewhere."
"We are not taking that attitude.
The government officials exclude the
Japmese, prepare for war, and then
make speeches tfrgins peace. I do not
like it. I believe that with the mind
to do those things whlcn win Dring
which will lead us toward
that goal we will bo able to see and
make the next move when the time
comes.
"Shall we enter the League, or the
world court, or the protocol? I am
willing to see them tried. I believe
we should make some .move that will
point forward, not backward."
The Rev. Mr. Inglis discussed the
National Defense Act of 1920 atBome
length. "It seems to be possible," he
stated, "for the military to put their
fjngers out and touch anything al
most that it wants, and get away
with it. What the Dred Scott decis
ion was for slavery, the National De
fense Act is for the military.
"It crystallized the war psychology
of the year in which it was born and
brought it down to today. It gives
the power to militarize business and
industry on a war basis, to conduct
the red, white, and blue summer
camps to interest the high school
boys, a thing which even Prussia
never did; to develop the military
idea in institutions of higher learn
ing by subsidizing courses; it made
possible the 'Defense Test.' "
The unbalanced method of handl
ing the situation was shown by the
fact that $590,000,000 was appropri
ated to the military and naval forces
and only $14,000,000 to the state de
partment the department of peace.
"The President asked the American
Legion to boost Armistice day peace
day preparations without expendi
ture and without departmental aid,
while the President and two depart
ments with appropriations made ready
for Defense Day."

Credit Hours Are Found To Come
High at the University of Kansas
Average Student at Lawrence
Spends More Than Six
Hundred Dollars.
The high cost of credits is the sub
ject of a recent discussion at the Uni
versity of Kansas. There they have
determined that average expenses for
a school year are more than six hun
dred dollars. The university cata
logue gives the estimate of ?638 as
the average expenses for a student
for the school year of thirty-six
weeks.
The average student is found to
carry fifteen hours a semester. Tak
ing the average expense for a year
as $600, and" dividing "the total cost
for the year by the number of hours
has caused complications to set in.
Persons knowing a goat suitable
for taking ono of the loading roles of
tho prologue are urged to secure the
name and pedigree of said goat and
turn them in to Bennett S. Martin in
the office of the University Y. M. C.
A. in the Temple as soon as possible.
If no satisfactory goat is obtainable,
the prologue cannot be presented.
NEW SMALLPOX
CASE DEVELOPS
Lloyd Foschtman, Pharmacy
Freshman, Taken to Isola
tion Hospital Yesterday.
OFFICIALS URGE THAT ALL
STUDENTS BE VACCINATED
At the time when University auth
orities were beginning to hope and
believe that the danger of smallpox
was definitely past, a new case has
developed. Lloyd Foschtman, a
freshman in the College of Phar
macy and member of Kappa Psi fra
ternity, is the second student to be
taken with the disease. He was vac
cinated soon after the first case was
reported and his case is therefore
only a light attack.
Foschtman came in contact with the
first case and may have received the
disease in that manner. He was tak
en last evening to the City Isolation
Hospital. v
Dean R. A. Lyman in a statement
made last evening said: "The only
thing that students can do to prevent
the spread of the disease now, is to
be vaccinated immediately, if they
have not already done so. A person
who has been vaccinated within the
last three years need not again be
vaccinated at this time, however.
"A previous attack of smallpox is
an absolute guarantee of immunity
from it and in cases where the per
son has had it, vaccination is un
necessary. "If the students continue to report
for voluntary vaccination, - no more
stringent measures will be necessary.
In case they do not, it may be impera
tive that other measures be adopted,"
Dr. Lyman added.
The Student Health office reports
that few vaccinations have been giv
en since the first scare was over. A
new shipment of vaccine points ar
rived late last week and the office
will be able to vaccinate all students
desiring to take the precaution. Vac
cination will also be made, free of
charge, at the City Health office at
10 and Q streets.
MDNN WILL SPEAK
AT MEETING TODAY
Alumnus, Now State Solon,
Will Address Junior League
of Women Voters.
- Monte Munn, '22, state representa
tive of the thirty-fifth district in the
present legislature, will speak at a
meeting of the Junior League of Wo
men Voters, at the Temple at 5
o'clock this afternoon, on his experi
ence in the legislature.
Twenty-nine of the successful can
didates in the last state election are
alumni of Nebraska. This list in
cludes the governor, attorney gen
eral, district judges, state senators
and representatives. Munn was ask
ed to speak because of his close asso
ciation with university people he
has not been gone long enough to be
forgdtten. Munn was graduated
from the University of Nebraska in
'22 and is affiliated with Sigma Nu.

A course in petroleum engineering
will be added to the school curricu
lum at the university next semester.
earned, it is. found that twenty dol
lars is the cost of one hour. If the
student fails in five hours; he thus
loses one hundred dollars.
The student, even if he is working
his way, is paying a great deal for
the much-desired credit hour. He
must pay in hours if not in dollars.
Then considering the time that he
might have been "working instead of
going to school earning instead of
spending the cost to him is much
higher than could possibly have been
told by the figures.
At the University of Colorado the
faculty was asked the question "Is

Organized Gang of Robbers May Be
Victimizing Western Universities
Police Now Hunting for
Thieves Who Looted Fratern

The wave of recent robberies that
have been committed at the Univer

Colorado, and the University of Utah,
has led to the theory that an or
ganized gang is victimizing the vari

west.
At the University of Colorado all
the evidence points to the fact that
those who commit the crimes are in
close touch with the daily life of
the Universitiy and are taking ad
