TRIAL OF 0RF1ELD Law Professor Convicted ofj Obstructing Learning by j Rapid Talk. ! 1 i H. W. BAIRDJS SPEAKER Trial of Trof. Iester B. S. Or field on the charge of malicious obstruction of learning by con tinued rapid talking in his classes and for failure to show proper school spirit by standing for the singing of "The Cornhusker," formed the main event of the an nual law college-smoker, held Tuesday night at the Elks club. Upon an information filed by prosecuting attorney Ralph Slocum and his assistant. Gale Davis, the prisoner was hauled before the court of Lincoln Frost, jr.. pro perly handcuffed by bailiff Robert Lecron. Witnesses, duly sworn by Judge Frost to tell "the truth, the whole truth, and anything you can get away with," were produced by the prosecution to prove that stu dents were unable to take the rapidly dictated lectures of the de fendant, and that their inability to do so prevented their advance ment of learning. Swedish Girl Testifies A Swedish girl friend, portrayed by Maynard Mills, was charged to have been brought by the defend ant from .Minnesota to Lincoln, and was introduced as a character witness. Hearsay testimony of coeds was further added to the state's attempt to blacken the character of the professor, despite the insistance by the defense that he was but a 'blue-eyed school boy." Defense attorney John McKnight and Fred Ress brought witnesses to show that one student was able to take the instructor's notes, and brought forth the argument that a law professor should not be ex pected to recognize 'The Cornhus ker" from any other song. Tender orations by the attorneys, includ ing a fantastic portrayal of the university by Attorney Slocum, led Judge Frost to direct a verdict ot guilty, suspending sentence until the next meeting of the court. Attorney Baird to Speak. H. W. Baird, Lincoln attorney, described changes that have de veloped in lawyers and law college students within the past twenty years, telling how the day of out standing 'characters" noted for thoir distinctive characteristics has passed, and has been replaced by the era of bttter, but more uni form attorneys. Included among the guests at the smoker were four members of the state supreme bench, Judge Lincoln Frost, sr., and County At torney Max Towle. Guests and the speaker of the evening were Intro duced by Dean H. II. Foster. Tap dancing and musical num hrs were Included in the evening's program.

Chancellor Avery, Mayor Frank Zehrung, Coach Fred Dawson, Capt "Chick" H EGRET AT DECISION "I sincerely regret their action and hope it is not final." he to?d The Daily Nebraskan. "I believe that Kansas officials intend to In vestigate their athletic situation more fully later." Failure Will Cause Break.

It was announced that this de cision was unanimous but no com ment was made by board mem bers. ,', v-p - - j Elimination of Kansas' from thv conference leaves a gap in m Cornhusker home football schedule for next year, according to ti. i. Gish, director of athletics. "We were building our home schedule around the Kansas and Iowa games," he said. "If Kansas is out of the conference we will need another headliner home at traction."

"No doubt there is something radically wrong at Kansas or the faculty representatives would not have taken that action," was his comment. University Pastor and Students Give Program Rev. W. C.
