TALKER ADYOCATES
DSEjOF DIPLOMACY
Charles H. Corbett State at World
Forum That Trouble Can Be
Solved Without War
"It surely is a lot easier to settle
international disagreement with di
plomacy than with war," stated
Charles H. Corbett, noted authority
on world affairs, at the World Forum J
luncheon yesterday noon. "Some
people think the president is a large
body surrounded, entirely, by peo
ple who know exactly what they
want," he added.
In the course of his talk, Mr. Cor
bett expressly praised Secretary of
State Kellogg for his work in the
advancement of good will between
the United States and foreign coun
tries. He quoted Secretary Hughes,
"our foreign relations are becoming
more important." One of his con
victions that the state department
was aomg gooa worK tor tne nation
was results from his belief that the
present administration is advancing
men of worth into the high offices
rather than making gifts of offices to
men who are unworthy.
Piplomacy In Phillipine
The Phillipine situation was cited
as one where the United States could
establish better feeling if it would
give the Phillipines a civilian gov
ernor. According to his views on the
Chinese question, there had been few
changes in the last wey months. He
stated that the party in power is
willing to make a treaty with the ma
jority of any group in China which
seeks peace.
Mr. Corbett spoke regarding the
war debts and their relation to the
United States and the foreign coun
tries involved. He expressed his be
lief that the nations owing the
United States wjjl pay eventually
and it is better toNvait than spend

RULING FORBIDS
CORN COB STUNT
Ordinance Last Year Abolished
Entertainment Between
Halves of Game
CHEERING IS SUBSTITUTED
No stunt will be put on by the
Corn Cobs and Tassels between hal
ves of the Homecoming day game,
Saturda'y, according to word received
from the athletic board yesterday
afternoon. Through a misunder
standing on the part of the pep or
ganizations, it was supposed that
each year on Homecoming the Corn
Cobs and Tassels would have charge
of entertainment between halves.
A rule passed by the board of con
trol two years ago forbid the Corn
Cobs of putting on the stunts and
no permission had been granted them
this year. The stunt produced by
them last Homecoming came as spe
cial compensation but permission was
not granted to them with the idea
that it would carry a precedent.
With the advent of the cheering
section this fall and with the usual
parade of the band between halves,
the entire fifteen minutes is taken
up, thus substituting entertainment
provided by the Coin Cobs prev
iously.

Leader Will
Compose March
For Nebraska
Lieut. Com. John Philip Sousa an
nounced his intention last Tuesday
evening of composing a University of
Nebraska march.
The "march king" wa3 requested
by Acting Chancellor Burnett, and
Col. Jewett to compose a march for
the University of Nebraska R. O. T.
C. The request was made during a
dinner held before the concert Tues
day evening.
According to Col. F. F. Jewett,
Sousa replied, "I'd be glad to," when
asked. The well-known band leader
explained that he had a number of
similar orders to be filled, but that
he would put the University of Ne
braska on his list, and when properly
inspired would write that school a
march. Sousa requested that Acting
Chancellor Burnett write him con
cerning the matter so it would not be
forgotten.
With one of the finest bands in
this part of the country, the R. O. T.
C. is considered worthy of such a
march. At present the R. O. T. C.
band has no distinctive march, but
when it is presented with a march
written by Lieut. Com. John Philip
Sousa it will enjoy very favorable
publicity.

WILL SPONSOR
HOLIDAY SHOW
Vaudeville Bill To Be Presen
ted Thanksgiving Morning
At Orpheum Theater
USE UNIVERSITY TALENT
Breakfast Will Precede Per
formance; Individual, Or
ganization Skits Planned
The Kosmet Klub is completing
plans for a new and" different vaude
ville show to be staged at the Or
pheum theater Thanksgiving morn
ing. A complete two hour bill of acts
with Ray Ramsay as master of cere
monies is the present plan. It will
begin at nine o'clock and will be
preceded by a Kosmet Klub break
fast at the Idyl Hour, from eight
until nine to which all students are
invited..
University talent will be used
throughout the greater part of the
cast and the Klub is asking that stu
dents having acts or skits which they
would like to put on, leave a de
scription of them in Herbert Yenne's
otfice at 201 Temple before 5:00 next
Wednesday. The five best acts of
those submitted will be chosen as a
part of the bill. The entire show will
be made up of eight or nine acts. The
main feature being a Kosmet Klub
Review consisting of the favorite
songs and dances from past Kosmet
productions.
Organization Skits
An effort is being made to have
fraternities and sororities submit
skits. The best fraternity act and
best sorority act will then be chosen
to take major positions on the bill.
Plans for these acts are to' be sub
mitted at the same time the indivd
ual acts are turned in. These acts
must be of about eight minutes
length. The individual acts may be
shorter.
A Beat-New York rally spirit will
perme'ate the entire morning pro
grame beginning with the breakfast
at the Idyle Hour. Acording to the
committee in charge, William Ment
zer, Jr., "Doc" Twinnem, and Arch
Eddy, tentative plans include the dis
tributing of noise makers that will
add to the spirit of the morning. The
Klub intends to make this a student
gathering and to further this idea,
tickets may be reserved early
Thanksgiving week before visitors to
the fotball game arrive in town.
Tickets will be priced at fifty cents
for the entire house.
