League Of Women Voters
Hears Discussion ur
Judicial System.
Speaking at the weekly meeting
of the league or women voters,
yesterday afternoon in Ellen
Smith hall. Miss Ruth Hatfield
read and discussed the bills for
jury service for women which are
now before the Nebraska State
legislature.
Miss Hatfield explained that
women have been serving on
juries in other states for several
years, and that Nebraska is not
doing anything new, but rather
somethfng better than the present
system. Because of the many ex
emptions from this service, the
people left for the jury are not of
the most intelligent or most, cap
able class. If women were per
mitted to serve, the more intelli
gent of them would not be ex
empted and better juries would be
the result. Miss Hatfield claimed.
Miss Hatfield mentioned that in
states where women are chosen,
it has been found that a mixed
jury is better than either all men
or all women. In spite of opinions,
women are just as cool, dear
headed and fair as men, if not a
little more so. Also, women have
more leisure than competent men
and should therefore be called
upon to do their duty to the state.
WOMEN JURY SERVICE
South America Is Friendly Toward
United States Says George Howard,
Former Interpreter For Roosevelt
"There is on the whole a very friendly spirit in all South
America towards the United States," Dr. George Howard ox
Argentina, w ho was Theodore Roosevelt's interpreter when the
ex-president made his trip to South America shortly before the
war and who will address n group of economies and Spanish
students in the Temple at 10 o'clock today, told a Xcbraskan
reporter in an interview yesterday.
There is of course. Mr. Howard
reminded, also a good deal of ani
mosity. This arises from three
principle sources. The American
tariff barriers against Argentina's
agricultural products cause some
very bitter feeling. Argentina is an
agricultural country and when
they cannot sell their meat, corn,
wheat and hides, times are hard.
Europe Spreads Propaganda.
A second cause of animosity to
wcrdj the United States is the pro
paganda from Europe. Europe is,
of course, Argentina's market, but
America too is competing for all
tie South American market. Euro
pean like to hold Americans up
tcJore the South Americans s the
worshippers of the almighty dollar,
ss.:d Dr. Howard.
INTERSECTION IS
SCEXE OF CRXSIl
Dave 11 hituorth, Student,
and Fields, Colored,
Collide.
Excitement prevailed at the cor
ner of Twelfth and R streets yes
terday afternoon about 3 o'clock
when two cars collided In the mid
dle of the intersection while both
were attempting to run the yellow
light. Mid-afternoon cakers in the
campus coffee shop were rudely
interrupted, and many of them
left their seats to inspect the re
sults of the accident.
The collision occurred when a
Ford coupe driven by V. H.
Fields, colored, 2024 S atreet, ran
into the running board of a Buick
sedan driven by Dave Whitworth,
Beta Theta Pi, of Lincoln. Both
cars suffered considerable dam
age but no one was hurt.
Whitworth finally ended the
discussion that ensued by driving
away. Fields' car was damaged
too much to be driven.

tickets are for sale at twenty-five
cents each.
Group skits by Alpha Xi Delta

Bernstein, Z o r a i d a Alexander,
Frances Stringfield, Clara Stapp,
Rowene Bengtson and Thelma Ha
genberger will display formal wear
for spring.
The show will open promptly at
7:15 so that it will be over soon
enough to avoid conflict with eve
ning engagements. Ruth ' Roberts,
president of A. W. S. board, has
called particular attention to the
f.ict that it will be presented at the
Temple theater. An error in The
Daily Nebraskan calendar stated
that the performance would be at
the Liberty.
'MAXIMUM LIVING'
TO BE THEME OF
SUNDAY MEETINGS
Dr. Ray E. Hunt, pastor of the
First Christian church at Six
teenth and K streets, will begin a
series of discussions Sunday eve
ning on the general theme "Maxi
mum Living." The discussions
will be based on the reoent book of
Henry Nelson Wieman of the
University of Chicago: "The Issues
of Life."
The discussions will cover such
subjects as "Growing Up," "Living
Together," "Maximum Energy for
Living," "Goods of Good Life,"
"Religion," "God and the Ideal,"
"Life and the Scientific Method,
"Personality." and "The Last De
votion." The series will attempt
to answer the question: "What Or
der of existence will bring human
life to its highest fulfillment and
promote the greatest possible vai
ues?"
All university students are es
pecially invited to attend and par
ticipate in these discussions. The
series will continue for the next six
or seven weeks.
The other source of anti-American
feeling is what Dr. Howard
calls the "classical" stratum or so
ciety of the "hundred percenters."
These are the people who revere
the romance of the Latin people,
dislike anything Anglo-Saxon or
German, and favor their father
lands of Italy and Spain in trade
relations.
South America Suffers.
Commenting upon the effect of
the current world-wide economic
crisis Dr. Howard said that South
America ia suffering very much.
Almost every country there has
been hit by a slump in prices of the
single product upon which they de
pend for export. The bottom has
gone out of the Chilean market.

BY THE OBSERVER.
Two contesting factions, namely
the Yellowjackets and Blue Shirts,
have commenced definite election
campaigning by the simultaneous
release of their respective party
platforms. Contrary to conditions
last fall when the Blue Shirts made
sport of party platforms by pub
lishing a humorous plank, both
factions have a serious program
of promises outlined for the pur- j
pose of drawing votes. i
Each of the campus political
groups Has four planks in its plat
form. Two of the planks in the op
posing platforms agree while the
other two run along different lines.
Both Favor Union.
Both the Blue Shirts' and Yel
lowjackets pledge their support
and co-operation in the erection of
a student union building. Fur
thermore, both factions urge im
mediate action on such a project.
Support of the new student council
constiution is also pledged by each
of the parties. The Blue Shirts go
a step further, however, by advo
cating the clause which permits
equal representation for women.
This, undoubtedly, was done in or
der to make an extra bid for the
feminine vote.
Yellowjackets protest exclusion
of tobacco advertising from stu
dent publications and recommend
the inclusion of a student activities
tax on the regular university fees.
Blue Shirts promise that each
class officer hereafter, if elected
from their faction, will erect on

Chancellor Burnett Say
He Will Ask For Its
Consideration.
SAYS MUST SUPPORT IT
Student Council Petition
Presented To Board
Of Governors.
In a conference yesterday after
noon with Student council mem
bers Chancellor E. A. Burnett an
nounced that he will ask the board
of regents to consider the council's
proposal to abolish the compulsory
feature of military drill. The reg
ents will be asked to listcp to the
recommendations of the- student
committee at an early meeting, the
chancellor said.
Joe Hunt is chairman of the
committee which appeared before
the chancellor yesterday. Others
on the committee are Bill Mc
Cleery, Fred Grau, Edwin Faulk
ner and Robert Kelly.
Must Defend Drill.
Chancellor Burnett explained
that he regarded it as his duty
to defend compulsory military drill
inasmuch as it is a course required
in the university curriculum by
the board of regents. He added
that he was peifectly willing to
bring the matter before the board.
The board of regents does not
have any regular time of meeting
but convenes at call of the chan
cellor. Claim Compulsion Is Bad.
In the petition to the board of
regents the council committee
stresses its viewpoint that' the
compulsory feature detracts from
the effectiveness of the military
drill course. '.
Joe Hunt pointed out that the
committee was not in entire agree
ment regarding what attack
should be made on the compulsory
military drill system.
"We are agreed that compul
sory military drill is undesirable,"
he said, "but we are not In accord
as to the proper point of attack."
Committee's Idea Vary.
He intimated that the commit
tee may be given the opportunity
to give divergent views regarding
military training before the board
