Contestants Discuss Subject
Of Compulsory Auto

Topping one of the greatest
displays of forensic eloquence
ever to be hoped for in a tour
nament of freshman debaters,
Krnest "Wintroub, Arts and
Science fresman, was declared
winner of the second annual Long
Trophy debate contest, Thursday
evening. The tournament con
sisted of field of eleven speakers
who discussed the question pro
and con of whether "The state of
Nebraska should compel every
owner of an automobile to car
ry Insurance covering personal in
juries in automobile accidents."
Mr. Wintroub, was the unani
mous choice of the three judges
who presided during the verbal
combat and was unquestionably
the most effective debater to take
the stand. The winner, who took
his preparatory work at Omaha
Central high school where he
served four years as a member of
the debating team, defended the
negative side of the question.
Sullivan Second.
Second among the list of arguers
was awarded to Marvin Sullivan,
of Norfolk who also served in de
fense of the negative side. De
spite the taleit and study shown
by Mr. Sullivan in his brief ap
pearance at the stand he lacked
the smoothness of delivery and
clearness of thought exhibited by
the winning speaker.
The Long Trophy is presented

FIRST OF FRENCH
MOVIES SET FOR
Cercle Francais Brings 'La
Dame Aux Camelias'
To Varsity.
"La Dame Aux Camelias" will be
shown ac 10 a. m. Saturday morn
ing at the Varsity theater as the
first of a series of four French
movies to be brought to the stu
dent body of the university under
the auspices of Le Cercle Fran
casis. Yvonne Printemps, celebrat
ed actress and well known in both
France and the United States,
stars in the title role of Camille.
The film is from the story by Al
exander Dumas fils, and is direct
ed by Ferdinand Rivers. The
screen production, staged entire
ly in France, follows the play
very closely.
The play has been produced in
American movies and on the Eng
lish stage under the title, "Ca
mille." It was sung in Omaha on
Nov. 20 under the title "La Tra-
vista" by the San Carlo opera
company.
Campaign Carried On.
City wide campaigns for the sale
' of the tickets have been underway
for more than a month and will
continue until the first perform
ance on Saturday morning. Sea
son tickets may still be purchased
from members of the various
French classes for 85 cents and
are also on sale at the Varsity
theater. Single tickets are avail
able for 25 cents. Poster contests
are being held in the Lincoln high
schools and the winners will re
ceive free tickets as prizes. Letters
have also been sent to women's
and discussion clubs thruout the
city who would naturally be inter
ested in a production of this na
ture. Published in 1852.
First published in 1852, "La
Dame Aux Camelias" has enjoyed
lasting success. The role of Ca
mille has been played by all of the
greatest actresses of the world.
The picture opens with Marguer
ite Gautler'a dismissal from her
position in a millinery shop and
continues with her progress along
the primrose path of luxury until
she meets Armand Duval, played
by Pierre Fresnay, who is another
Gallic favorite. Then, for the sake
of her love for Armand, she gives
up money and jewels in order to
support herself and her love in a
small house in the rountry. They
spend several happy and gay
wpeks together until the arrival of
Armand' father who has come to
beg Marguerite to give up his son.
She consents rather than spoil the
young's man future ad his sister's
marriage.
Ends Tragically.
The shock of the parting results
in a nervous breakdown of her al

Marketing Agent Discusses
Possible Consumers'
Organization.
Possibility of establishing a
consumers' co-operative in Lincoln
will be the subject of a discussion
led by James F. Lawrence, uni
versity extension agent in market
ing, at the Stuart room, Y. W. C
A. at 1432 N St., on Monday, Dec.
16, at 7:30 p. m. The study and
understanding of co-operatives,
which are an important part in
the economic structure of Eng
land. Norway, Sweden, Japan an i
other foreign countries, is being
stressed in university work now in
preparation tor the visit of Toyo
hlko Kagawa to Lincoln. Fcj. 14.
Kagawa is the force behind the
co-operative movement in Japan,
and has gained worldwide fame tn
recognition of this. The movement
in America has until lately been
only sporadic and consists mostly
of farmer's organizations. Yet the
possibilities for such a plan which
really works, in rutting out th
middleman and pi-ofitecr. are being
seen by many communities where
it is used.
