A DEFENSE
In the discussion which followed
the publication in The Nation of
Paul Blanshard's article on the R. 0.
T. C, there was displayed fcy some
persons a tendency to attack the Y.
M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. for having
brought Mr. Blanshard to the cam
pus. A correspondent, writing to
the Student Opinion column of this
paper, inferred that there were
other activities, in which these or
ganizations might engage which were
of more worth than that of "im
porting pacifists and radical propa
gandists." Such an attack raises a question
which has nothing to do with the
soundness of Mr. Blanshard's facts
or logic, but which . is directly con
cerned with the problem of what
course a college should follow in
dealing with controversial questions.
There are two widely different
ideas as to the policy which should
govern the treatment of such ques
tions. One holds that the college
should inculcate in the minds of it?
students a certain, given point of
vitw in regard to these problems.
The soundness o fthis view is to be
determined, not by the students,
but by the faculty or the boprd of
trustees. It is such a conception as
this which must be held by those
who criticize the two Christian asso
ciations for inviting "radical propa
gandists" to visit the campus.
The opposing idea of a college is
that it should present, not only ore,
but all points of vi'-w. In ether
words, the student r3 to bo fur-
rishod with the data on controver
sial questions and then allowed to
make their own judgments. Their
intelligence is trusted to lead them
to accept the most valid of doctrines
precre4 to them.
Those who hold to the first of
these conceptions either forget or
)o no: know '!iat it ha been rele
gated to the scrap-heap by mo&t
American colleges and Universities
No later than last month, the Mas??.'
ch'isetts branch of the American As
sociation of University Professors
made the following statement, which
outlines the principle on which most
American colleges are operating:
"Students have a right to
know the pros and cons of con
troverted subjects in every
fiell. Teachers should be free
to present these subjects and to
express their own position in
regard to them. It is only the
things which are not true which
have anything to fear from
freedom of discussion, and it is
only by maintenance of this
freedom that we create condi
tions under which the truth will
most rapidly prevail.
It is needless to point out that,
in a state university, this policy
must, of necessity, be followed. The
people of the state, who support the
institutions, are not of one mind in
regard to political, religious and eco
nomic questions. Their view differs
and they cannot, therefore, set up
.an institution to teach only certain
points of view for the reason. that it
would be almost impossible for them
to reach a satisfactory decision as to
what should be taught and what
should not. The only way by which
state universities may avoid this dif
ficulty is by presenting: all points of
view and allowing the students to
make their own judgement as to
their relative merit.
In any institution run on this
principle, there is no sound basis for
criticism of an organization which
brings to the University man whose
thought is unconventional. Indeed,
such an organisation is performing
a service, inasmuch as it it making
it possible for student to hear and
evaluate a view which is not perhaps,
in the ordinary run of affairs, given
much consideration. Its work should
be commended, not condemned.
record mark he established (last
Thursday. His new time is within
two-fifths of a second of the world's
record. The statement Friday that
he equalled the world's record was
premature.
In the Red, White and Blue tour
ney, which was the big part of the
program for the novices and numeral
men on Schulte's squad, the Red
team started making the points at
the very start, and continued its per
formance to the last event, scoring
two or more points in every event
except the fifty-yard dash in which
no team member was entered. The
Blues furnished the real competition
for the Reds, and toward the end,
the meet developed into a race be
tween the two teams.
Only six varsity preliminary try
outs were held. The shot put was
won by Krimmelmeyer who put. the
ball forty-one feet and three incnes.
Choppy Rhodes jumped the farthest
in the running broad jump. His leap
of 21 feet 8 1-2 inches was not up
to what he did last year. Next high
in this event were Gish, Hulsker, and
Stephens, all of whom jumped 20
feet 10 inches.
In the fifty-yard dash, Locke was
easily the best man of the afternoon,
runnine most o! his races in handi-
can heats, in which he gave handi
caps from one yard to seven, start
ing himself from scratch.
Novice competitions for numerals
were run between events. Results
on these will be tabulated and an
nounced by Tuesday of next week.

GRADUATE IS APPOINTED
I Made Director of Publications for
Bell Telephone Laboratories
John A. Mills, A. M. '04, formerly
graduate assistant in the department
of physics of the University of Ne
braska, was recently appointed di
rector of publications for the Bell
Telephone Laboratories, which was
incorporated last December 24 at
New York City. He was formerly
director of personnel for the Wes
tern Electric Co. The new labora
tories will combine the research
work of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Co. and the Western fclec
tric Co.
The purpose for which the organi

Branting Appointed
Plant Superintendent
L. lR. Branting, '17, formerly chief
engineer of the American Bauxite
Co. of Bauite, Okla., has been ap
pointed superintendent of the plant.
This involves not only the direction
of the plant but also the manage
ment of the town of Bauxite, which
is populated by the 4,500 employes
of the plant. Bauxite is an ore from
which aluminum is manufactured.
SCORES EUROPEAN SCHOOLS
BUT SAYS AMERICAN WORSE
(Continued from Page One.)
Mr. Peffer believes that this af
ter-war condition is intolerable, for
he says that "it has condemned Eur
ope back to the rotted and inade
quate molds of a past outworn." He
believes that it may mean the death
of the European university and it
even may mean a complete upheaval
of educational methods.
Yet, with all these shortcomings,
Mr. Peffer considers the European
university better than the American
institution. "One cannot discuss
American college students at all in
association with ideas, and the in
fluence of solidified inertia. Even
bad ideas are preferable to the vapi
dity of the American campus atmos
pact in neat streets. Others showed
the inhabitants, dusky and grotes
quely garbed. There were several
pictures of game killed by the geo
logists long, scaly) crocodiles and
mountain lions in prostrate dignity.
One slide illustrated the primitive
method of the inhabitants of plow
ing with a forked stick. In another
view appeared the long, low boat,
heavily loaded with supplies' and
equipment, used by the geologists in
their field trips along the various
rivers in the vicinity, and iij another
was seen one of the pack trains used
in excursions into the jungle. A
huge pile of stones, surmounted by
a cross, was the center of another
slide.
"That's a native burying ground,"
explained Professor Schramm.
"Burying's a simple matter to these
people they merely gather the bod
ies together and heap stones over
them. One of the boy's mothers was
in here the other day," he added.
"She saw that picture and went home
crying."
Maracaibo is a city of several
thousand inhabitants, chiefly natives
and Spaniards, not far from the sea
coast. The duties. of the young geo
logists will be to map the geological
formations, to determine the struc
ture of the rocks, and to run a plane
table traverse.

dents who have been sent to Vene

logy department are Claire Smalley,

Listen, you fellows, our friend Kay
has turned this column over td me for
this week, to give you a few hints as
to what is good for men this coming
spring and summer. Of course I
have solicited the assistance of some
of the down-town merchants who
know what is smart for the college
men.
A Host of New Ties
At FARQUHAR'S this week they
have received a host of new ties both
in bows and four-in-hahds in the very
latest of spring colors. It seems
that the plaids with dashes 1 of red
and grey in them are the thing for
well dressed college men. The four-in-hands
range from college stripes
and plaids to polka dots. My person
al opinion is that the plaid bows worn
very long are becoming to most any
man. Farauhar's would be pleased
to have you all come in and look over
these ties. The prices range from ?1
to $3.
Smart New Manhattan Shirts
for Spring.
College fellows can find at BEN
SIMON & SONS a wonderful assort
ment of MANHATTAN SHIRTS in
the newest and most delightful pat
terns and colors. For this spring the
Donular fabrics in the Manhattan col
lar-attached shirts are Broadcloths
Percales and pure silk striped mad
ras. The colorings of these shirts are
typical of the hues which college fel
lows desire. The plain whites are
still popular but the all-over patterns
and those of solid colors are coming
into vogue. Personally, I am very
fond of the new stripes with much
variation. Manhattan shirts also
come with the collar detached but to
match, which gives one the dressiest
appearance and yet comfort.
There is a certain feeling of sat
isfaction and security about one
when he has on a Manhattan Shirt
for Manhattans are distinguished
from others and their reputation of
such long standing is beyond parallel.
The Inverness Flannel Shirts are
just the thing for this cool spring
weather, and Simon's assortment is
large.
Ben Simon & Sons want you to
come in and look over absolutely the
largest assortment of these celebrat
ed shirts in Lincoln, and I am sure
you will find the men at this store
always glad to tell you which shirts
are the most becoming and the most
fitting for all affairs.
The Timepiece
You need a good time-piece to go
with good clothes. Uphold your rep
utation of being well-dressed. Fen

ner of 12th & O.
The newest styles in hosiery repre
sent England, Scotland, and Ireland
with the bars, checks, plaids and
poles.
Wonderful Candies for the
Girl Friend
Right here and now would be . a
good time for me to suggest that yvu
fellows go to Bruce's when you wish
to buy candy for the girl friend
for they make their own chocolates
of wonderful richness and they are
packed in boxes that are always ap
propriate for the season. Bruce's is
also a very nice place to go for lunch
after the dance, for it seems that
nearly everyone goes there now. A
flower service of quality is offered
also at Bruce's.
New Hats for Dress
The new Stetsons for spring arc
great and are selling at the regular
price with the same fine quality. The
hats come in roll brims, baloon brims
and turn-downs in the new shades, of
grey and Boston Brown. The stock
at Mayer Bros. Company is also com
plete with spring caps of nobby col
ors and shapes from the Crofut &
Knapp Company. It seems that the
caps are a little larger in . size this
spring and that grey predominates.
Mayor Bros, hatters will be pleased
to show their new hats and caps.
They also feature the Knox Fifth Av
enue Hats.
- Tfce It Easy
Say, fellows, it's a grand and glor
ious feeling to have a real "hangout"
where you. can spend time between
classes and take your sax or uks and
have a jolly time. A refreshing
drink is quite pleasing at times, you
know and it is not such a bad idea
to ask your girl along with you to the
Silver Moon just across and facing
the campus.
Peter Pan Cravats
Mr. College Man, the world rizoa
you up by your appearance. It's the
little things that' count as well ns the
big ones. The particular man uses
a color scheme throughout his dress.
"Peter Pan" cravats are the newest
in ties, coming in a geat variety of
stripes and colors. Green, blue and
grey belts will be dominant this
spring. Shapiro's Men's Shop at
1212 0 Street carry the very latest.
The newest lounge coats arc cut
rather full, but they still retain the
narrow effect at the hips. Trous
ers are worn very long and wide
with the two-inch cuff predominat
ing. Oh, Say, be sure to take your best
girl to the Lyric this week to see
"Briant Kent" with Xenneth Harlan
and Helene Chadwick plus an all-star
cast.
Shoes
FLORSHEIM SHOES have been
made famous by the college men who
appreciate smart lasts, correct de
signs, quality materials, and distinct
ive patterns. Light tan is the pre
dominant color for general wear,
while black is worn after six o'clock
in the evening. Any college man
needs a shoe for comfort, for service,
for self assurance, for a smarter and
more trim appearance, and for the
easier and quicker accomplishment
of a task. Florsheims assure you of
all these things. Nebraska Univer
sity men are considered well-dressed
so uphold the standard of the school
and get your Florsheim shoes at
MAGEE'S, shoe dept. first floor.
Brian Kent, the hero of The Recre
ation of Brian Kent experiences

at the Lyric all this week.
Ties in plaids,- polka dots, and
stripes will be worn very much this
year.
