Hill Says America Shows Desire to Cooperate With League of Nations By JACK ERICKSON r1ltn Noli-: Thin In Mir wrnnd of a nrrlra of arllrlr of lurolly opinion on rnrrent nnlHIral and economic uneMlono. Todny'e article follow an Interview "h nr. Norman I.. Hill, aoclle profrMor f political rlrnre. It In on: The Sino-Japanese Affair, as teen by Norman L. Hill, Ph. D. From an American viewpoint an important angle of the Japanese Chinese trouble in Manchuria is that the United States has signi lied its desire to cooperate with the League of Nations Council in effecting an agreement between two foreign warring nations. That Is the opinion of Professor Norman L. Hill of the political science de partment. Another important consideration, according to Professor Hill, is that it shows that United States' in terest in far eastern poitics is still as alive as ever. "For some years this country bag occasionally taken part in questions arising out of politics in the far eaat." explained Professor Hill. "We were intrumental in re storing Shantung to China and we have also been closely connected with the progress of the open-door policy there." As concerns the question of In ternational relations which has arisen out of the Manchurian com plication. Professor Hill had the following to say: THIEVES ROB FRATERNITY Phi Kappa Psi Hotise Is Entered Thursday Morning; Many Articles Lost. Thieves entered the Phi Kappa Psi house at 1546 S Thursday morning about 3:30 o'clock and stole many valuable articles. The theft was discovered about 7 o'clock Thursday morning by Wil liam McEachron, who Immediately spread the alarm to the other members of the house. After a check of missing articles the police were' called. It was discovered in the checkup that $20.00 in cash, a wrist watch, two new suits of clothes, and num erous other articles were missing. Police are investigating the case. L MUST BE TAKEN BY NEXT TUESDAY Sigma Delta Chi Declares Discount Goes Off On That Date. HOUSES NOT SUPPORTING Journalism Society Asserts More Subscriptions Are Necessary. Members of Sigma Delta Chi, men's professional journalism so ciety, met last night at the Sigma Phi Sigma house where plans for the year's activities were discussed and the following resolution was adopted : All fraternities or sororities wishing to take a block of sub scription to the Awgwan mast signify their intentions by eight o'clock Tuesday evening, Octo ber 20, if they wish to get the 10 percent cash discount. The group, meetiug under the leadership of Willif.m McGaffin, of Polk, president, emphasized that fraternity and sorority support of the humor magazine through sub scriptions has been poor. It ap peared that a . wider subscrip tion list would be necessary if the magazine is to continue publi cation. The first issue of the Awg wan, "Celebrity Number" will go on sale on the campus next Wed nesday under Sigma Delta Chi sponsorship. YEAR BOOK CONTINUES Detrick Says Photographs Must Be Paid for At Studio. Cornhusker officials are seeking to impress upon the minds of the students that all individual pic tures for the year book are wanted at once. This includes the pictures of all juniors and seniors and the members of fraternities and so rorities. There seems to be some mis understanding among the students in regard to paying for the pic tures. The price, J4.50 for junior and senior pictures to be used also in the fraternity or soroity sec tions: S1.00 for junior or senior pictures: and $1.50 for fraternity or sorority pictures, is to be paid to the photographer when the pic ture is taken. Response to the efforts of the Cornhusker staff to get these pic tures taken has been fair, altho it has not been what was ex pected. The responsibility of get ting the pictures taken rests indi vidually with each student but the Cornhusker is doing everything possible to include everyone, say the editors. "The willingness of this country to take an active part in the set tlement of an international affair of this characters shows that the United States is vitally interested in the cause of world peace. "America is willing to be an ac tive participant in the League's ef fort to hold before the two rival oriental nations the American sponsored Kellogg-Briand treaty outlawing war. This affair is a real test of the diplomatic powers of the League of Nations. With the cooperation of the United States it seems that the matter should be settled before there is an actual state of war between Japan and China." Professor Hill explained that the trouble started about Sept. 19 when the Chinese seized a bridge on the Japanese Manchurian rail way near Mudken, Manchuria. Japan, by treaty, had been given the right to operate this railway and the occupation of this bridge was interpreted as the beginning of an attempt ultimately, to remove the railway from Japanese control L-iilirul. "The Japanese have Interests in Southern Manchuria, Professor Hill pointed out, 'which would nat urally incline them favorably to further occupation in the territory. Moreover, the recent murder of a Japanese captain by the Chinese, on the Ground that he was a spy, (Continued on Page 2.) f IN B OGKS URGE PICTURES TAKEN RHODES SCHOLARSHIP CANDIDATES. Eugene Robb.

In thin manner The hrn.knn hopm to acquaint the ntudents lth till of the drhonl roiirh. BY JEAN 8PEISER. Gather 'round, Cornhuskers; Half of us don't know the words to one or two of our school songs, and very few of us have heard how these songs came to be. What with the depression and all. we can sing while we're waiting for it to lift and we might start in on those we do know, and polish up on the others. Nebraska songs aren't half sung and a little group practising might help a good deal. Nebraska songs could hold their own with those of any other college if they were made to sound like something, so let's brush up on those lyrics that are dragged out of seclusion just long enough to receive a weak and very uncertain response, and give them the support they merit. "There is No Place Like Ne braska." That is the title of Ne braska's most popular song. Stu dents sing it. Grads sing it. And even some folks who never come closer to going to college than the portals of the Memorial stadium sing and love It. It is a song with a philosophy, and Cornhuskers with that spirit of loyalty which characterizes N e b r a skans the world over raise their voices to FIVE SELECTED CANDIDATES FOR RHODES PRIZES Choice Goes to Bartels, Huber, Gund, Robb and Seymour. REPRESENT NEBRASKA Five Will Appear Before State Board Dec. 5 For Tests.

This well-loved melody had its birth in 1923. Harry Peecha. a former student of the university, is responsible for its creation. And there is a story back of it. A group of Nebraska students were encamped that year at Fort Snclling. Entertainment was on the program each evening, and one night was set aside as "Nebraska Night." Those in charge of Ne braska Night decided they must injoct an element of cleverness into their program. A quartet was or ganized and an original song was rehearsed. That song, 'There is no Plice Like Nebraska," scored a triumphant hit on the evening's program. Nebraska students present liked it so well that they all learned the words and music, and upon return ing to the unversity in the fall they taught it to their compatriots. Its popularity from that time on requires no description. Let's all join in on the chorus: . THERE IS NO PLACE LIKJC HKBUAfHX, There ll no place Ilk Nebruka, Dear old Nebratka V.
