"From the beginning of statehood,
Nebraska has recognized that a dif

districts with high school depart
ments, from that of the little rural
school.
"The first and most successful at
tempt to increase the size of the
school unit in Nebraska has been the
movement for free high school edu
ration. In response to a demand for
equalizing edhcational opportunities
fr Nebraska boys and girls, the leg
islature, in 1895, passed the first free
high srhool act
"In 1907 the Legislature passed
the first successful free attendance
act It accepted the principle that
every school district is responsible
for the education thrue the common
schools, including high school educa
tion, all of the. children between the
ages of 5 and 21. Accordingly dis
tricts were held to be responsible for
the tuition, at rates from time to
time fixed by law, for all grades from
9 to 12 not provided locally. The
general principle is still in -force.
Nebraska's free-attendance law ac

Acting-Chancellor Burnett Opens
Traditional Charter Day Program
The traditional Charter Day pro-
a lit
gram started last evening wun
chimes of the historic University bell.
At regular intervals all during the
evening the old bell rang out to the
old graduates who remembered of
being called to chapel by the staccato
stroke of the memorable bell.
Dean E. A. Burnett, acting Chan
cellor of the University of Nebraska,
began the program of the evening
with a greeting to the Chancellor.
"To Chancellor and Mrs. Avery, who
are listening in at San Diego, Cali
fornia, the University of Nebraska
extends its greeting and sends a mes
sage of goodwill. We know that your
years of service richly entitle you to
rest, but we are jealous lest the sun
ny clime of California wean you too
quickly from the memory of the
home folks who bid you God speed
and a quick recovery."
Dean Burnett sent grettinga on
this 58th Charter Day to those for
mer students who were listening in
tonight, telling how the "University
of today may be changed in its phys
ical appearance but not much in its
ideals." He went on to say that
"From a small college we have grown
to be a great University with ten sep
arate colleges; with two secondary
agricultural schools, with an agri
cultural experiment station having
four branches, with a University Ex
tension Department offering many
college courses, and with a depart
ment of agricultural extension reach
ing many thousands of people in
rural homes."

rekindle your interest in the Univer
sity of Nebraska and your love for
the men and women whom you knew
in student days, to send your child

REVEREND HOLMES
SPEAKS AT VESPERS
Former Lincoln Pastor Attacks
Attitude of Some Students
Toward Professors
"Some students look upon new
professors with eyes like dead cod
fish," declared Rev. John Andrew
Holmes, former pastor of the Ply
mouth Congregational Church, in his
talk on "Liking Certain Classes of
People" as the Vesper service yes
terday evening.
The speaker told the group that
very often there are students who
are determined to dislike the incom
ing instructor and as a result the
professor is not at ease and is not
able to give his best to the class. The
prejudiced student receives no good
from a class in which he is constantly
finding fault and the remainder of
the students are affected in a sub
conscious way.
"We should like people as far as
...
our Christian love auows us 10,
Reverend Holmes'concluded. "There
are two commandments in the Bible,
one bidding us love God and the
other asking us to love our neighbor.
This does not mean that we should
be infatuated with our neighbor but
rather we should enter into spiritual
sympathy with everybody."
Geraldine Flemming had charge of
the service. A vocal solo by Euby
Sandstead furnished the musical pro
gram of the evening.
Married and Collegiate?
Marriage is good for students, a
University of Washington professor
recently declared. The married stu
dents aren't smarter, but they "have
been through the excitement and are
ready to settle down to more serious
business of gaining an education,
the professor says.

affection, and to support Us training

and sinew to a commonwealth, but

Many telegrams and telephone
calls were received during the course
of the evening. A telegram received
from the Secretary of Nebraskan

a banquet was being held in honor
of Chancellor Avery. They sent
greetings and also said that Chancel

Professor White Explains Methods
Of Presenting Arguments In Debate
Continuing the informal series of
talks on debating, for those consid
ering the subject in high schools of
Nebraska, Prof. H. A. White, presi
dent of the Nebraska High School
Debating League, explained certain
methods of presenting an argument
over the University radio station yes
terday afternoon.
"All speaking," Professor White
began, "is an attempt to communi-J
cate ideas and emotions to others.!
Fundamentally, the process is one of
give and take betwnen the speaker
and the auditor. We are often hin
dered by the notion that our audien
ces know a great deal about the sub
ject under consideration. That the
average person who thinks of the
questions of public interest will be
more or less familiar with the rudi
ments tf our subject for debate is
usually true. Yet knowledge will be
somewhat confused and rudimentary
in niany instances. The speaker
therefore cannot afford to take too
much for granted since a large part
of the hearers may know lettle, and
sometimes may care less about the
topic he has chosen to discuss."
The speaker said that it is there
fore important tlml ry point, with
its supporting evidence, must be
brought into the full light of infor

The Student Council members felt
that they had sufficient proof of un
fairness in regard to the casting of
these ballots to warrant the holding
of another election. This election will
be held next Tuesday in the Temple
Lobby.
The Student Council will meet this
afternoon to make definite rules re
garding the next election.
"Only two reasons can explain the
situation," explained Glenn Buck,
president of the Student Council,
following the counting of the votes.
"Either extra ballots were printed by
outside parties, or members of the
Student Council working behind the
desk allowed extra ballots to " be dis
tributed to the voters."
More than fifteen hundred votes
were polled for the three class pres
idents and the Ivy Day Orator, ac
cording to the official Council count.
This is an exceptionally large num
ber for a mid-term election.
Westwater Lectures
To Chemistry Society
"Internal Pressure of Liquids and
Liquid Mixtures" was the subject of
an address by Dr. Waldo Westwater,
of the department of chemistry, at
the February meeting of the Nebras

society, Tuesday evening. Dr. West

doctor's degrees from the University
of California, has been an instructor
in the department of chemistry for
two years.
mation and reason. If the debater
does not succeed in making himself
clear, he has lost the first opportun
ity of being convincing. Those who
oppose him will refuse to yield an
inch unless he can first of all bring
out his ideas and material most
thoroughly. Foundations laid by the
first speaker in almost every contest
determine the success of the entire
case. Those foundations that are laid
on supposition and infirm knowledge
will cause the whole structure to top
ple when one least expects a catas
trophe. "The inexperienced debater often
makes his first blunder by plunging
into an argument before he has de
cided what he is to show, or before
he has made it clear what conditions
he is to remedy, or what new princi
ples he is to advocate. To the first
affirmative belongs the task of ex
plaining the status or history of the
subject. It seems to me that no de
bater may hope to succeed without
considering fully three larger ques
tions. First, what must I establish?
Second, how best am I to present my
case? Third, after the evidence is in
hand, how I succeeded in every way?
