"Think Shop19 Ends Most Successful Season; White Deserves Much Credit Nebraska's Debate Seminary, nick , ii. "T'nk Shoe" by the cr- nameu t"8 Sr. the late Prof. M. M. Fogg, who orginated the so-called Ne braska system of debating, has been very successful this year. . professor Fogg's death left a va cancy in leadership over a field of ac tivity hard to fill. Prof. H. A. White, who is vice-president and ed itor of Delta Sigma Rho, national forensic fraternity, came from Wash ington and Jefferson University to accept the difficult position. His jnccessfulness may be shown in the accomplishments made by the de baters this year. A number of innovations have been introduced this season in order to give more men an opportunity to secure training in "dear, straight thinking" from these forensic tilts, and to arouse more' interest in de- bate as nu i More debates were scheduled than has been customary. Kansas, South ' vt as an activity at jNeorasmu Dakota, Kansas Aggies, onnneu, Creighton, and Ames felt the impact of Nebraska's arguments. Two questions were argued this year. The most timely question of the year was the farm relief "bill, "Resaolved, that the eesenials of the McNary-Haugen Bill should be en acted into Federal law," which was debated at the time when the whole nation was wrought up by Pres ident Coolidge's veto of this bilL The second question, "Resolved, that the Government of the United States should be' changed to include the principle of parliamentary re sponsibility." gave an excellent op portunity for the review of political science theories, partially forgot ten. The farm relief , bill was up held affirmatively by David Fell man, Lloyd L. Speer, Evert M. Hunt and John P. Jensen, while Den nis Dean, Munro Kezer, John Sidles and John McKnight upheld the nega tive of this same proposition- George LYRIC ALL THIS WEEK TKEATE rhe Pierre Watkin Player lta Bff Waak Promt I "THE BAD MAN A Starr ( a Caaial Mexican Bandit POTJLAR PRICES Ibtbm, Tim, Thar, and Sat.

Lincoln Frost, Carl Hansen, Archibald Storm, nnrf Joseph Ginsburg represented Ne braska on the negative. An entirely new ulan in TTnivor. city debating was initiated in the debates with South Dakota and Grinnell. Neither school upheld one particular side. Two members from Nebraska and one from South Da kota argued the affirmative against two South Dakota men and one Ne bato each side was upheld by one member from each school. The plan of spilt teams aroused much interest The most effective debate of tho season was held at Beatrice which was the Kansas-Nebraska tilt on the farm relief quqestion. T l : : : : a iseuuiii-K; is cuiouig imo lis own, it fa fulfilling a long felt nced The Beatrice debate gave numerous farmers, virtually interested in the bill, a first-hand opportunity to hear a scholarly discussion of the farm relief question. Numerous calls have been made by Lincoln business men to have some question of importance to them debated. Don Campbell, Dwight Wallaee, Robert Stiner, and Richard House debated before the Kiwanis Club on the credit system. William Matschulatt and Reginald Miller argued for the present sys tem of municipal government in Lincoln in a debate before the Knife and Fork Club, opposing Kenneth Smith and Robert Nelson, who arg ued for the proposed charter amend ment The following week Miller and Smith opposed each other on the same question, debating before a meeting of the Cosmopolitan club. Such a policy of debating gives the busy business man an opportunity to become informed on some ques tion of importance to him and gives the debaters the practice they so much desire. Debate at Nebraska is not dead. More debates have been held, two questions have been debated, re newed interest has been aroused, and, fig Professor White remarked in in- troductng his debaters at one oi tne noon luncheon clubs, "Gentlemen, won do not come to the campus to hear us, so we bring the debate to you." Moses Finkelstein. 15, child prod igy and senior in Syracuse University, is a new member of Phi Beta Kappa. An engineers' show, featuring floats, pink lemonade, and an exhibi tion of antique automobiles, will soon be staged at Washington State Col lege.

Campaign eiforts of the "Sev en" apparently swamped those of the "Six" as election results came in, showing a complete landslide for the "Slippery Seven." "Seren" Serenade Monday evening, representatives of the "Sevn" serenaded all sororitr , houses on the campus. A truck carry. ing an orchestra was pinched short ly before midnight for passing a atop button on 0 street The serenads was resumed within a few minutes. While serenading the Alpha Phi's, the orchestra was attacked by Phi Psi's armed with rotten eggs. Rep resentatives of both sides were lea" ing their coats in friendly fraternity houses nearby in anticipation of a general fight Eggs were later fired at the seren ade party from the Sig Chi house when the serenade passed there. Sev eral cars were splattered with eggs and one or two accompanying ;.he party were hit. While the serenade was still at the Alpha Phi house, three Lincoln fire trucks arrived on the scene in answer to a call, pre sumed to have been sent in by op ponents of the "Seven" in an attempt to hamper the serenade. At each house, "Nick" Amos, varsity cheer leader, asked the support of the can didates of the "Slippery Seven." "Six" Surround Polls Representatives of the "Oily Six-' got their campaign under way Tues day surrounding the polls. During the morning their representatives de cidedly outnumbered representatives of their opponents. In the afternoon, both sides were strongly represented. Reports of switches were rumored all day with no evidence of any definite realignments. Theta Sigma Phi members picketed the walks leading to the Temple along with fraternity representatives campaigning for Dorothy Nott for the publications board. Armed with Daily Nebraskans, with under-lined lists, friends of all candidates wci: on the scene, attempting to gamer extra votes. Campaign Waxes Hot In the afternoon, the campaigning became more intense. Both sides sent cars to the sororities to bring co-eds down, soliciting their votes on the way. Although campaigning is bat red within the lobby where the voting was being held, representatives of both factions occasionally slipped in in their zeal to persuade voters to vote their ticket In the middle of the afternoon, Glenn Buck, president of he student council, removed bis coat and left his place with the elec tion commission while he tried to drive campaigners from the polling room. From a quarter to one until after two-thirty the lobby of the Temple was so full that voters could hardly enter. From then on the number try ing to vote steadily lightened al though more were voting in the last three hours than have voted all day in the last few elections.

LIFE OF JOHN RAY REVIEWED IN TALK (Continued from Page One.) the Continent, Ray, who was an ob servant man, saw many things about which to write. He lived in one of the most interesting periods in his tory, and this, as well, stimulated his work. Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Hans Sloane, the latter the founder of the British Museum, were both intimate friends of Ray's. Sir Isaac Newton, as the President of the Royal So ciety, sponsored the publication of at least one of Ray's works on Botany, and the classification of plants. Mr. Fitzpatrick illustrated his talk with slides concerning the birthplace of John Ray, his portraits, and var ious title-pages from his books.

The other close race developed in the school of journalism where Mun ro Kezer, "Slipper Seven," and Wil liam Mentzer, Jr., "Oily Six' fought it out to a 23 to 20 decision. Chatburn Observes Count As a further assurance of fair election judging in addition to the precautions already taken by the Student Council, Dean George R. Chatburn was on hand when the bal lots were counted. The biggest rush to vote came in the ten-minute periods between classes. But those who got into line then had to wait there for many min utes before they finally found them selves in front of the counter where the votes were given out. The Student Council election com mission was functioning all day with the ballots themselves jealously guarded by two especially appointed members of the commission. The bal lots were printei'. with a unique en graving design as identification to prevent any attempts at frauds. As rumored before the election, the news of a political switches leaked out during the day. Zeta Beta Tau was the fraternity that went over from the "Oily Six" Bide to the "Slip pery Seven" side as an aftermath of recent organizational and athletic elections. There were persistent rum' ors during the day about other switches which, however, were not borne out by the results. AG PROFESSORS GO ON INSPECTION TRIP Investigation of Condition of Alfalfa Near Kearney and Lex ington Made An inspection trip through alfalfa fields in the vicinity of Kearney and Lexington, to investigate the extent of root wilt and winter injury, was made yesterday by Professors Burr, Kiessalbach, and Peltier of the Col lege of Agriculture, according to Professor Burr, who is Acting-Dean of the College. The trip was made at the repeated requests of alfalfa growers in Buf falo and Dawson counties, who thought that alfalfa root wilt was menacing their fields. The agricul tural extension agents of the two counties directed the investigation. Injury Not Determined Root wilt and winter injury were found in many fields, but it is im possible to determine the percentage of injur due to each without a thor ough investigation, Professor Burr stated. Symptoms of root wilt were found in hardy strains of alfalfa that had very little winter killing, but the extent of winter killing in all fields predominated. Samples of injured plants were brought back, and cultural tests will be made to determine the percentage of wilt injury. A series of different varieties and strains of alfalfa are being planted between Kearney and Lexington to determine varietal re sistance to the disease. .The party was accompanied by R. E. Holland of the Agricultural Ex tension Service, who remained in the west for extension work. , TODAY AT RECTOR'S 25c Peanut Butler Tostetta Calta ala Mada Any ac drink V First1 Of Series Of Negro Week Radio Programs Given Yesterday BeHnning the Negro Week Radio Program, Lloyd H. Williams, '23, spoke on the Negro Novel from the University Radio station yesterday afternoon. "Charles Wandell Chesnutt, the best known novelist and short story writer of our race was born in Cleaveland, Ohio, June 20, 1858," said Mr. Williams. "While complet ing his education he engaged for a short time in stenographic work, was graduated from law and admitted to the bar in 1887. In the same year he began a series of stories in the Atlantic monthly. This series of stories was later brought otgether under a volume entitle "The Conjure Woman." "The Wife of His Youth," one of the novels of this author is a story of a very fair negro who is sent to the north for an education by his young negro wife. He becomes very suc cessful and influencial in his new en vironment, is mistaken for a white and is engaged to a white girl who is a society leader. His wife turns up and the story ends with the acknow ledgement of his boyhood sweetheart before a group of social friends. "Likewise Rene Maran, a French negro has achieved fame as a novel ist," the speaker said. "For his last work, "Batouala," he was awarded the prix Goncourt prize by the Bon court Academy of France. The scene of this realistic novel is laid in the French Congo. The characters of "Batoual," the Makoundji, who is chief of many villages, serving to bind together these pictures of savage Africa. With extraordinary vivid ness, the surroundings and physical conditions of the natives life are sketched; his custom and habits, his superstitions, his sloth and sensuality, a wild native dance is described, a hunt, the funeral of an old man. "Another novelist who has drunk from the cup of fame is Jene Toomer. His latest production is "Cane," a story of negro southern life. Toomer has a number of southern miscellany of short stories and sketches some of them fragmentary. They all cen ter about the emotional life of the Negro. Robert Littel, of The Bos ton Transcript, says "Cane" is an interesting, occasionally beautiful ex ploration into old countries and new ways of writing." Mr. Williams told of another negro The jr Heavyweight Champion from Coast to Coast THIS new Winterweight Oxford is a recognized Champion in the Heavyweight Class.

She was educated in the public schools of Philadelchia. and the Cor nell university and Pennsylvania uni versity. While in the Cornell uni versity Miss Fausset was honored with the Phi Beta Kappa honors. She is now literary editor of the Crisis, a successful negro magazine. Her greatest and latest work is, "There is Confusion." "The Fire and the Flint," by Wal ter F. White has caused much dis cussion," the speaker , continued. "This novel has for its theme race relations in the south. Dr. Kenneth Harper, intellegent and letter edu cated than most of his white towns men comes back from his training in the northern schools to establish and practice in his home town. His at tempts to live by his philosophy of tolerance and friendliness fails utter ly. His duties as a doctor quickly bring him to the bedfide of a sick white woman. Hr raves her life and steps out if the house into the hands of a lynching howling mob of whites who claim they misunderstood his visit. "One comment in The Boston Transcript said that the "Fire and flint is told with a sort of passionate vigor that sweeps you over faults in characterization to the finish, which, to me is inevitable and therefore not melodramatic." Another comment in the same paper read "Negligible aa literature, unreal as a picture, this book by a negro is nothing less than a cry of the oppressed of a peopl" genuinely opressed and dishonorably abused. Let those who read it ask themselves if the indictment be not true. And then let us have the hon esty of confessing our sins of omis sion and commission, and the courage to try and right the wrong."
