TOBACCO, DRINK ARE DISCUSSED Professor Werner, at Vespers, Declares Use of Them Is Acquired Habit "Smoking and drinking are habits, acquired and developed during a lifetime, and they are not instincts, as some people claim," declared Dr. 0. 1L Werner in discussing 6moking and drinking at the regular Vespers service held Tuesday afternoon in Ellen Smith Hall at five o'clock. "Smoking was not common until about four hundred year ago, and though drinking has been common for many, many centuries, we must believe that there is some force be hind these two 'habits' to make them so successful and so popular," he went on. Tells of Trust Pa-gretting that he could not base his statements on fact, Dr. Werner . declared that the smoking mania was due largely to the efforts of a mam- month tobacco trust which kept its advertisements constantly before the public on bill boards and in theaters. "I am told," he said," that the slo gan of this trust in China is 'A cig arette in the mouth of every man, woman and child in China, within ten years.' "In tb final analysis this is a per sonal matter," he asserted, "and while I do not claim to be an author ity, in my own life I have settled (Continued on Page 4) Candidates Get Taste Of War Conditions as Organization Initiates 180 paddles, and quantities of Ep som salts, asefoetida, sirup, garlic, sawdust, and eighteen Pershing Rifle initiates were mixed into one jum ped mass at the stock judging pa villion i the College of Agriculture Tuesday evening. From the time when the initiates 're blindfolded and given four tablespoons apiece of Epsom salts until the last sawdust roll, the in itiate! were given what old members ft Pershing Rifles termed one of the 'best" initiations the organization tag held. Initiates couldn't remember all that happened. Members didn't care. If the schedule had been printed it might have read something like this: Four tablespoons of Epsom salts "piece; asafoetida smeared through the hair and rubbed in (if the a tionajy Isn't handy, asafoetida is de cribed as a fetid gum resin of 'var ious Oriental plants of the criy family).

Nomination (Editor' Note: This it the first of a teriei of reviews of leading candidate for the presi dency which will be published in The Daily Nebraskan prepara tory to the poll to be taken in all 9 o'clock classes Wednes day, March 21. This is a con densation of an article by Char les Merz, published in The Inde pendent with which The Nebras kan is cooperating in conduct ing the poll.) Few people expect him to win. He is an outsider compared with Dawes and an unknown compared with Hoover. But he will go to the Re publican convention with a bloc of fifty votes, and in a free-for-all con vention winders have been worked with less than fifty votes by other dark-horse Senators. First man in the field to declare himself for his party's nomination, spokesman of a large section of the Middle West, regular of regulars, and despite this fact the farmer's friend, fashioned by Heaven's hand as the perfect pol itician this is Curtis of Kansas. The story of this man's life begins where most of Zane Grey's stories end: in a tepee on the Western plains. It runs a colorful gamut that suggests both the infinite varie ty of life in the American scene and the orthodoxy of much of our public thinking. Went to Night School Curtis left the race track after eight years of riding, at the age of seventeen. But horses stayed in the picture. Curtis needed a job, and he jfou"d on box of a night hack in Topeka. By day he went to school By night he drove his cab. It is a tribute to his intelligence and industry that four years after his last race at a county fair, and at the age of twenty-one, he passed his bar ex aminations. Three years later he was county (Continued on Page 2.)

Military Club Maintains Old Nebraska Ways Pershing; Rifles Are Unique in Campus Circles Because of Their Democracy "Won't you be seated?" politely asked a Blank sorority freshman (we seem to be getting in bad with these feminine lodges so we'll emancipate the use of names). "No, thank you," replies the Phi Gam you guessed it! Pershing Rifle initiation was held last evening. It was the thirteenth of the month. We don't know how many were in itiated, but it was tough luck any way. The Perching Rifles are even beginning to speak with a Southern accent. Rough initiations are not highly favored in certain quarters, but in some organizations one wouldn't know he was a member unless he had an impression made somewhere. They are supposed to be able to drill well manual of arms and that sort of thing. The Iron Sphinx were sup posed to give the freifhmen a bar becue, too. Defeneration Suggested The Pershing Rifle absolutely can't be bea', honestly for a good democratic organization. The club was founded, we understand, to pro mote something anything.

Wilcox, instructor in the English department before World Forum this noon. Complying with the request of Mrs. Lee Rankin, chairman of the committee on World Forum, Professor Wilcox will talk on this subject from the point of view of an English instructor. Professor Wilcox stated that mod ern literature has a tendency to em phasize more of the truth in the world and il deals less with simple entertainment. He continued with the statement that modern literature is casual, dealing in causes and ef fect, rather than arbitrary situations. He described the modern author as one who depicts life as it really is, but not advocating it. The author of twenty-five years ago used impossible characters in hi3 stories, men and women who were pictured by him as being heroes and heroines. Y. M. C. A.

Following the agreement of the University Committee, the Fac ulty Committee on Student Affairs, and the Y. M. C. A. Advisory Board, the above statement was issued yes terday afternoon. In regard to the dropping of Uni versity Night from the list of enter tainments, Wilbur Mead issued the following statement: "At a meeting last Friday afternoon the committee considered carefully the possibility of continuing with its plans, but the concensus of opinion of the members present was that the conception of the Faculty Committee and the con ception of the University Night Com mittee as to what University Night j should be were so very divergent that it would be impossible to stage a show which would please both the Faculty Committee and the student body." The statement from Wilbur Mead is printed in full in the Soap Box. Hunt Give Opinion According to the opinion of Joe Hunt, president of the University Y. M. C. A. and member of the Y. M. C. A. Advisory Board, "the trouble lies in the fact that the understand ing of the University Night Commit tee contrasted with the understand ing of the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs. "The main reasons why this pro gram could not now be fostered is because the organizations whose skits were involved did not care to revise or write new ones which would meet the requirements. The Univer sity Night would probably now result in a financial loss following the dis cussion which has affected the stu dent's idea of it."
