NATIONS ARMING Peace Worker Talks on War At Temple Convocation Tuesday Morning. COUNTRIES FEAR OTHERS Overburdening of Weapons From Present Progress Will Make Conflict. Dr. Sid y L. Gulirk. secretary of the commiiAlnn on international justice and goodwill for the federal council of churches, addressed student convocation Tuesday morn in T. on th subject. "In War Inevitable?" The convocation was held In the Temple theater. Dr. Gullck views with alarm the competitive arm program prevel anl in all countrlea at the present time. "Every nation." said Dr. Gui le k. "haa superiority complex, and it I also true that every na tion haa an Inferiority complex. While thin Iniil la very amall. it tents to make nations fear their neighbors. A nation that spends millions of dollars for armaments each vear la bound to be feared by the other countries, conse quently they too. will start arming. In time the nations are overbur dened with arms, fear and mls inst. and another war la inevit able." Defenses Inadequate. At the present time maneuvers in the major countries of the world have proventthat the de fences are Inadequate, he said. While It Is not generally known, the recent maneuvers held off the raclfic coast by the United States, brought out the fact that the at tacking force has a decided ad vantage. It is claimed by authorit ies that London, the nerve center of England, could be destroyed in an hour by an opposing force. When nations find that their se curity is threatened, they immedi ately enter the race, and the com petitive arms program becomes a world wide affair. Since the World war, scientists have been mailing extraordinary gains in the knowl edge of the propcrities of nature. These by means of chemistry, and physics can be turned into imple ments of war, according to the doctor. "The treaties of Versailles, the treaties out of the Washington conference, and the London con ference, are mature in 1935. And it is at this time that all restraint on German military strength is re moved." said Dr. Gulick. "Ai though It was expected at the various conferences that the fif teen year period would see the commencing of disarmament, it has proved a boomerang, and the nations are arming in a manner far more potent than before the world war. Germany Will Arm. "It is not possible to measure the armaments of the countries by (Continued on Page 2.) BARBS TO HAVE NOISE AS All-University Party This Saturday Night Will Be Minus Balloons.

'NO SCHOOL CONNECTION' Sponsors of the Cornhusker fall j party will attempt to circumvent I the Student council rule against subscription dances by calling the affair the Cornhusker hotel ran party and taking it entirely out of the hands of students, mey an nounced yesterday. John Lancaster, former univer sity of Nebraska student but not enrolled in the university this year, is sponsoring the dance In con Junction with the Cornhusker hotel and the Collegian orchestra. Public Dance. "it will merely be a public dance," Lancaster announced, "and will have no connection with the university except that we will be making a special appeal to univer sity students." Bob Kelly, president of the Stu dent council announced yesterday that the matter will be taken up in the meeting of the council Wed nesday. "Our only objection now," he said, "is that outsiders are con ducting a ticket campaign within the fraternities. It is still a sub scription dance whether sponsored by students or not. It is a matter for the council to decide, how ever." One undergraduate student as sociated with Lancaster in the original enterprise has withdrawn, it became known yesterday.

' Kuithermoie we have found thnl the value of the year book to the individual increases propor tionately each year after gradua te i.. We receive many letters fro.n alumni asking us to obtain cop.es of the annual for the years whiu. they attended university. Unfortunately we cannot satisfy tht-r demand as we are usually unable to find copies n file. Stu dents who want a memory book for theii college days are faced with the necessity of acting at once oi probably doing without. "The value of a yearbook as a reminder of past events may be well illustrated by the high school annuals which most students pos sess and treasure," said Edmonds. "Those who purchase a yearbook of the University of Nebraska will find that such an instance as this will apply to their university days as well." The selling of the Cornhusker is still under the supervision of the Corn Cobs, Tassels, and Cornhus ker staff members who will con tinue to sell the yearbooks until the end of the week. PLANS MADE NOW FOR 1931 SUMMER SCHOOL Six-Nine Week Scheme Willi Be Used; Recreational Program Worked Out.

The administrative coun cil recently approved the directors' recommendation that the six to nine weeks session be continued in 1931, and lhat a recreational pro gram for summer school students be promoted under proper direc tion and supervision. There was also a consensus of the college deans that the six weeks program offered in the 1930 session should not be ex panded in the 1931 session, and that the major emphasis should be placed on the offerings of the nine weeks session as heretofore.
