Paul Jones Tells Audience
Compulsion May Lead
To Habit
WORLD WAR AIMS RIGHT
But Speaker Rm-' That the
Method of Bringing Them
About Was Wrong
"In war we have method contrary
to Christianity which wins by love
War compels," stated Bishop Paul
Jones, as representative of the Na
tional Society of the Fellowship of
Reconciliation before a group of stu
dents and faculty members at a lun
cheon Thursday noon at the Grand
Hotel.
Mr. Leavitt, Congregational stu
dent pastor in introducing Bishop
Jones, pointed out that he was one
of the most foresighted, most loyal
and most interested workers for the
welfare of the country at the time
when others were swept off their feet
by the trend of war.
"Fellowship of reconciliation" con
tinued Bishop Jones," means little
to the average person but it is plain
to see that the principle to work on ill
feeling increases when it comes up
against war. It is interesting to note
that in the rosiest days of Germany
and France neither attempted to take
boys of high school age and put
them in strict military training."
"That is just what we have been
doing since the war, putting empha
sis on military training in our univer
sities and colleges," he explained,
"there are one hundred and twenty
five thousand young men drilling in
these institutions while thirty-four
thousands are in citizen's military
training camps thus totaling some
one hundred and sixty thousand now
getting military training. In ten
years if the number continues at the
same rate this will mean a million
men in militaristic training."
The danger is not wholly in the
fact that the drill is compulsory but
in the fact that the compulsion may
lead to habit "Take the fellow who
has had military training, Bishop
Jones pointed out, "it is going to be
easy for him to take this matter of
settling questions without the
thought of arbitration. It is easier
for him to take the military way than
the peace way for this attitude has
been drilled into him."
"One need not criticise the aims
of the late war," he stated, "for they
were perfectly fine, perfectly worthy,
the world took the wrong way to
bring these about. It took seven
years after the signing of the Armis
tice before France and Germany
could get together with any degree

Puppet Show Delights Youngsters
In Lincoln Public Grade Schools
Would you like to see Goldylocks
and the Three Bears in almost real
life? Of course you would, even yet,
and the youngsters would just dote
on it. That's one reason why an un
usual puppet show of this childhood
delight has been staged by the stu
dents in Education 106, under the tu
telage of Miss Clara 0. Wilson and
Miss Florence Osthoff. Moreover, in
developing English in the primary
grades puppet shows offer exception

ORIENT WORKER
TALKS AT DINNER
Miss Vera Barger, University
Guest, Explains Her Work
In China
150 ATTEND THE E NQUET
"Physical education has been and
still is the thing which opens the
doors of missionary and government
schools in China," declared Miss Vera
Barger, head of the physical and re
creational work in China, who spoke
before 150 university women at a
dinner at the Grand Hotel last eve
ning. "They don't know what Chris
tianity is and it seems to me that
they are asking us to prove Christ."
Somep eople cannot understand
how physical education work can be
missionary work. They feel that to
be a missionary one must preach
upon the church cornors, but it has
become evident that sometimes the
only way a Christian worker can get
into a government school is through
the physical education department.
China is coming to realize that in
order to progress must have
healthy women.
Miss Barger's school was at first
a physical education school by itself
but lately has united with the college
at Shanghai. It's influence is thus
extended because the graduates are
now equipped with a college educa
tion. The difficulties that confront a
graduate of this college as well as
a few of her difficulties were out
lined by the speaker. "Sometimes
they are the only Christians in the
school in which they teach," she said.
"Sometimes there is much opposition
to Christianity, when they say noth
ing but can only live, which is after
all the best way."
"With the orient it is such a dis
grace to lose a game, that I have seen
a volley ball team walk off the floor
rather than complete a losing con
test," Miss Barger said in speaking
of sportsmanship. She told of how
her school tried to spread the west
ern spirit of sportsmanship and that
she believed they were accomplishing
something in that respect. "The
graduates who go out from our school
have a wonderful opportunity to
spread this spirit and it is after all
the Chinese who must spread Chris
tianity in China."
Miss Barger expressed her appre
ciation of the support given by Ne
braska women to the cause for which
she is working, and stated that she
felt she had a real spiritual inherit
ance in the Grace Coppock memorial
fund.
Elsie Gramlich presided and Eloise
MacAhan introduced the speaker and
outlined the lncory of the Grace
Coppock campaign. Eloise McMonies,
chairman of the Grace Coppock staff,
presented Miss Barger with a leather
writing cas from the Y, W. C. A.j

its dish sets of three standing up

It is in the bedroom, however, that
the most originality has been shown.
The bears, if you please, have linen

HUSKER MATMEN
MEET JAYHAWKS
Wrestling Meet To Be Held
Saturday After Basket
ball Game
KANSAS YET UNDEFEATED
Nebraska wrestlers will face the
Kansas university grapplers in the
new Field House, Saturday. The
matches will take place immediately
after the Nebraska-Creighton basket
ball game.
Kansas is thus far undefeated and
they have some experienced men in
Captain Skinner, Delp, Smith and
Stoklas.
A bout in the 108-pound division
is scheduled. Nebraska will be repre
sented by Jones, who has had consid
erable experienae, and the Jayhawk
representative will be Stoklas. Stok
las won third place in the Valley
conference meet last year.
Captain Skinner of the Kansas
squad is well known as a wrestler.
Two years ago he won second place
in the Valley meet and first in the
Western Intercollegiate. He was in
jured last season and was unable to
compete to any great extent. He
will oppose Webor, of the Huskers,
in the 125-pound tussle. Weber won
his match in the Iowa meet last week.
Delp, a Kansas letter man, will
dapple with Dale Skinner. Not much
is known of the other Jayhawk men,
with the exception of Smith, in the
175-pound class, and it is doubtful
whether he will be able to perform
because of injuries. If not, the Kan
sas WTestler will be McFarland. Cap
tain Highley, who will be the Husker
choice in this class, is not wholly re
covered from a wrenched shoulder
received in the Iowa meet
According to Dr. R. G. Clapp, the
squad is all in good condition, and
ready to give the Jayhawks a hard
contest. Buck, who defeated Weber
in a tryout for the 125-pound class,
afterwards sprained his ankle, and
will not suit up.
Farmer Burns will again be pres
ent to see the meet He has been
helping Dr. Clapp once a week and
will be able to see some results of
his aid, perhaps.
The" referee for the matches will
be E. G. Schroeder of Iowa State
University, a widely known wrest
ling official.

GUEST OF, HONOR TALKS
More than two hundred university
women and town guests were served
at the tea given in honor of Miss
Vera Barger, physical educational dl
rector in China, by the Grace Cop
pock staff of the Y. W. C. A., yes
terday afternoon in Ellen Smith Hall.
Miss Barger was presented by Miss
Erma Appleby and talked for a few
minutes about the Chinese New Year.
On the last day of the year, February
11, Miss Barger said, each Chinese
household burns its kitchen god. This
little god hangs in the kitchen all
year and is supposed to keep account
of the actions of the family. Until
the new kitchen god takes his place
festivity holds full sway in China.
February 12 is the beginning of the
New Year; all shops are closed on
that day and the day is spent in call

INTER-FRAT RELAY
MEET IS POSTPONED
Annual Greek Competition May Be
Run Off on Outdoor Oval La
ter Coach Schulte Says
The annual interfraternity relays
which were to have been run off next
week, are postponed indefinitely be
cause of the interfraternity basket
ball tournament. This will allow the
men to devote their whole attention
to the one sport instead of compet
ing in two at the same time.
Coach Schulte is not anxious to
push the relays and stated thst if
the weather permits after the basket
ball tournament they will be run on
the outdoor track. This postpone
ment of the relays will also keep the
men interested in track work and
give them time to practice their
touch-offs.
The indoor track meet has brought
out a great many men for a practice
in competition and this fact will
prove a large factor in the relays.
They are arranged in such a way that
distance runners as well as sprint
men run in the same race thereby
bringing out the best in each event.

ON SATURDAY
Special Train Will Bring Blue
Jay Fans to See Return
Game
KANSAS WRESTLERS HERE
Husker Matmen Will Engage Jay
Hawks in Auditorium After
Basketball Game
The Creighton University basket
flippers from Omaha will be the next
opponents to face the Nebraska
Cornhuskers on the basketball court.
The Blue Jays, anxious to avenge the
defeat handed them by the Huskers
earlier in the season, will present a
somewhat stronger line-up in the
Field House Saturday night than
they did in the previous game played
in Omaha.
Creighton fans are planning on
running a special train from Omaha
to Lincoln for the game and it is
expected that nearly five hundred
fans will accompany the team. Re
ports circulating from Omaha state
that the Blue Jays intend to win
the game. So far the two teams have
met four times on the hardwood
floor and in three of these engage
ments the Huskers have returned vic
torious. The clash between the two teams
Saturday night will mark the first
time that Creighton has appeared in
Lincoln as Nebraska's opponent on
the basketball floor. The previous
games have all been played in
Omaha.
Cornhusker fans will be given a
double treat Saturday night in the
form of athletic contests. The
Creighton-Nebraska game is due to
start at 7:30 p. m. and will be follow
ed immediately by a wrestling meet
between Nebraska and the Kansas
Jayhawks.
A decided change in the Nebraska
line-up is looked for in the coming
game. Coach Bearg has not been any
too well pleased with the showing
made by the Huskers in their last
two performances and has hinted that
a general shake-up will take place in
an endeavor to find a scoring combi
nation. With the beginning of the second
semester several men have become
eligible and it may be that the Ne
braksa mentor will use some of them
in this game. A loss to Creighton
would not effect Nebraska's standing
in the Missouri Valley conference
and quite a bit of experimenting will
probably be done during the game.
STUDENTS TO HEAR
RACB DISCUSSIONS
Cosmopolitan Club Meeting Sunday
Will Be Open; Several Views
To Be Presented
University Cosmopolitan Club will
hold an open meeting at Faculty Hall
Sunday at 3 o'clock, at which time
the race problem will be discussed.
Ihe plan for the discussion was
prompted by chare-es that have been
made against lack of intelligence of
the average student mind for world
problems. Mr. Hurry, eeneral secre
tary of the committee on Friendly
Relations, applied "confussionism" to
the student mind.
Rev. Fay, student pastor of the
Disciples Church, who has given the
race problem much study, wrill pre
sent the general views taken on this
world problem.
Since the Cosmopolitan Club is
composed of members of many races.
it is securing many different opin
ions. The conclusions reached will
be sent to other Cosmopolitan Clubs.
An invitation to attend is extend
ed to all persons interested. Guests
will have an opportunity to offer
their views.
