KoMrlHAS ENVIABLE RECORD Former City Attorney Speaker at Meeting of Methodists. Is TOPIC IS 'ENFORCEMENT' "A law ceases to be a law with out moral stability," slated Mr. C. P. Peterson, former city attorney, in speaking on "Law Enforcement' at an open meeting of Phi Tau Theta. Methodist Men's fraternity, at the Wesley foundation Tuesday evening. Mr. Peterson gave an interesting conveniences if they feel that the I CN ,nl),e of how lne ack of pubHc IHCUIiy. nil, ta vti'iiviitft hm interested In the same fundament al things. Cooperation, not anta gonism, between faculty and .stu dent bodies will enable these two groups to work shoulder to Fhould er for the university's lxt inter ests. "As for school spirit it is no lehS valuable In professor than in student. That embodiment of pride peiil.xrH'nt back of a law may kill a law. and another example of how a l.iw may be made effective by public opinion, even though there be no penalty attached to its viola tion. While the speaker was acting as city attorney, a man came to him complaining about the football sign hung across "O" street, as be ing a violation of the city ordin- and loyalty will provide common ;ancc against the use of the public streets for advertising. Be com plainant saw no harm to the sign, but objected to the principle of the thing. More Wrongdoers. , ground between the two groups: through It they may build up a wholesome, valuable university consciousness. Once this is achiev ed, fitudent government and facul-l ty supervision will be placed ir their proper positions." Trof. G. M. Darlington, of the college of business administration, in general agreed with views of Dan Hicks. "I have seen little evidence of cropa pull between faculty mem bers and students." he stated. "There Is too much emphasis placed upon this. I believe the real cross pull Is between groups within the student body." 'Less School Spirit." Mr. Darlington commented fur ther upon the specific question of bchool spirit. "It is difficult in a school of this size for school spirit to compare with that in a smaller school," he declared. "Here there tends to be a spirit of separate groups. For example ,the law stu dents and the engineers have long held an intense regard for their school groups which overshadows their interest in the university as a whole." Mr. Darlington continued: "The enthusiasm of school youth is dis seminated In various groups, and therefore it is difficult to develop a real, inclusive school spirit. In the recent much discussed rally the exhilaration and spontaneity of university spirit was noticeably absent. The rally was a forced af fair which ganined incentive through the exhortations of a small group of men." Mr. Darlington Denevcs me a o'clock rule regarding rallies is very good. Between-class rallies are difficult to break up and often destroy the composure of classes both before and after the rally. Real school spirit, he avers, may be evidenced just as well and Just as effectively at a later time. ! Mr. Vetcrson admitted that the ! breaking of the ordinance was wrong and said that he was willing to accompany the complainant all I over the city and punish all the law violators against whom com plaints were issued. Then Mr. Peterson explained that there was an ordinance against smoking dg' ar?ts in a public eating place. All persons caught smoking itt public eating places against whom com plaints were filed would be prose cuted. "Oh lord," replied the man. "I don't want my name on any such complaint. Mr. Peterson also gave an ex ample of how public opinion may enforce a law even though there is do statutory penalty for its dis- obeyancc.

The program was given through the courtesy of local soci eties and personal cunli Ibutlons, and wa3 sponsored by the German department of the University of Nebraska.

"One of the ureal problems which the United StateH faces is that of aria and semi-arid land." declared Dr. J Arthur Harris, chairman of the department of botany at the University of Minne sota before the annual joint meet ing last night of the Nebraska chapters of Phi Beta Kappa and Sie ma XI. Speaking on "In Desert and Rain Forests." Doctor Harris expressed aa his opinion that the problem of dry land barrenness could never be solved except through the efforts of laboratory science. He explauled bneriy the essential factors in-' volved in this work and touched i upon some of the contacts which j Vocational lie nna nmuc personally in ias Held. I Experiments Made. Kxperimcnts have shown, the botanist declared, that the degree , of osmotic concentration which a plaut possesses determines its chances for survival and growth. This concentration can be found through observation of the freez ing point of the plant's tissue fluids, which is ttu method fol lowed in laboratory work. The lecture was illustrated with colored slides showing a variety of vegetation growing under different climatic conditions both in the United States and In the Hawaiian islands. These views served to il lustrate points developed within the address and added considerably to its interest. The address was open to the public as well as to members of the two honor societies. Approximately 200 persons attended. Introduced by Benotton. Introduction of Doctor Harris to the audience was made by Dr, Nels Bengtson. chairman of the department of geography at fhe University of Nebraska. Preceding the address the annual dinner for active and alumni mem bers and their escorts of the chap ters of Sigma Xi and Phi Beta Kappa wert held at the University club. At this dinner Doctor Harris was the gucat of honor.

Tbe same eligibility rules apply to those trying out as for any other activity. Mrs. Lillian Helms Polley tias the soprano lead, and Mr. Walter Wheatley, professor of voice, has tbe tenor lead day. The meeting in the Temple cafeteria was attended by about eighty students. The speaker gave an account of the difficulties which the colored race encountered in finding em ployment. He said that negroes, who were trained in professions could not obtain clients even among the people of their own race. Economic Status Enters. "We are beginning to realize there is a relation between the so cial and economic status." Mr. Porter said. He said that the ne groes were forced into unskilled trades. But the negroes are not tbe only people which are discrimi nated against, he asserted. Mexi cans. Jews, Japanese and Chinese also find difficulty in getting em ployment, other than the lowest kind of unskilled labor, according to the speaker. He told of the experience of one of his Chinese friends wbo could not get a position in a bank al though he was twenty-three and held a doctorate degree. The speaker declared that tbe negroes were the victims of tbe most dis crimination. The discrimination is sharpest in the south, according to Mr. Porter. He declared that the whites en deavored to keep tbe negroes out of Industry entirely or that if they must admit them, to close all po sitions available except the jobs lequiring unskilled labor. Unions Unfriendly. He stated that the opening of many new factories in the south along with the restriction of immi gration gave an opening to the ne groes. Organized labor is un friendly to tbe negroes, according to Mr. Porter. He said that hile they were almitted to membership in most unions, they were not per mitted to vote or take any part in the activities of the organization. Several examples of the unfair ness of the labor unions to the ne groes were cited by the speaker. He told of a negro tapestry (Continued on Page 4.)
