FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1009. THE TASK TONIGHT. Tonight NobrnBka ontorB tho llBta In a battlo of Intellectual prowoBS with roproBontatlveB of Iowa and Min nesota. The annual debates of tho Central Donating Loague are to bo hold at tho flvo universities of tho nBSodaton, Minnesota meeting Nebras ka in Lincoln and Iowa contesting with tho Cornhuskers at Iowa City. Tho contests tonight aro by no moans a minor or haBty matter. The CornhuBkor debaters have been tralnod for tho occasion to no less an extent than were the football pupils of Coach Colo proparod for tho grld- GUN BUTTONS Iron contests of last fall. At Iowa City and at Minneapolis ablo men havo been doing tho same sort ot work in tho rhotorlc workrooms aB was un undortaken by tho athletes who rep resented tho Gophers and tho Hawk eyes at Omaha and In Lincoln. The efforts put forth tonight aro tho prod ucts of tho most systematized mental training of which men are capable Considering this great work which Nebraska's debaters havo been giving to their task, and having in view the importance of the occasion tonight as a tost of their effort, university stu dents should feel the spirit which will causo them to rally to the support of tho six menrchosen to speak for the Scarlet and Cream. The football team may loso one game, or two; it still has other chances to rotriovo its glory. Tho intercollegiate dobaters risk their nil on one event, and they win or loso entirely according as they aro vic torious or defeated on that one occa sion. Tho debate tonight, then, is Impor tant. It means muqh to tho debaters themselves, and it means fully as much to tho school. Victory over Minnesota particularly means tho de feat of n rival who has twice already this year humbled Nobraska In other fleldB. Tonight Nebraska must win. If possible she must take honors in both debates, but In any case, Minne sota must bo downed. Lot us feel that tho contest tonight Is our battlo and let ub como out In numbers to tho sup port of thlB team of ours! DR. PARKIN'8 VIEW. In speaking to Nebraska students yesterday Dr. Qeorgo C. Parkin of tho Rhodes scholarship trustees mado striking comparisons of tho American and tho British unlversl- o ties. Ho answered tho question of . v wnv Amorican.8 should desire to go to vj2?ford by decla.rInS tliat England fBono could obtain a broad, world-wide mow, wnno in America tuo tendency 00000000000000 $ "What's The Matter Wity The Professor p DRAMATIC CLUB Q 000000000000030K0000000 o was towards provincialism and nar rowness. Whilo It is not presumod to criti cise so eminent a scholar as. Dr. Par kin, yet It seems that tho English man may havo Implied things which aro far from acceptable by loyal Amoricana. His comparisons were clearly quite unfavorable to tho Amer ican atmosphoro and some of the statements aroused some comment among loyal students. Theso were prone to deny tho fact that attend ance at Oxford would glve Americans tho broad-minded characteristics of which Dr. Parkin thinks bo much. ,Yct it seems reasonable to believe that Oxford residence would havo just tho effect on American students wlilch Dr. Parkin indicates. Resi dence in any foreign country has a vastly broadening effect. Perhaps that is truo more of England than of others becauso in England tho Amer ican can meet others of his own lan guage and acquire knowledge and IdeaB quicker than elsewhere. He is not hampered and confined in his own narrowness his provincialism If you please by tho difficulties of a strange tongue. Lot ub admit Dr. Parking assertion Just as ho mado it, that English resi dence helps tho Amorlcan to acquire a broad view. Nor lot us criticise him for pehraps implying tho Englishmen woro thomBolvoB equipped with a big- Pay ger view than Americans. He did not say this, and it is possible that he would not intentionally do so. When, bo does, then there, Is timo to criti ciso him, and criticise him strong ly, for tho Englishman himself is no torious for his narrowness. Americans may bo provincial; thoy may bo capablo of learning broad views from tho English; but aB to broadness in tho British themselves, Americans will not, and cannot In view of the facts, admit it. CUTTING THE FORMAL8. Tho action of tho twelve Nebraska fraternities In decreasing the number of formal parties by half will result In widespread good to tho university as a whole and to the fraternities in particular. The stop which haB been taken is one well calculated to allay certain criticism of tho university and its students which has frequently embarrassed tho school authorities in tho past. Thero is no question but that some taxpayers of tho state aro opposed to tho further extension of tho Btato uni versity as an institution of tho strict ly higher branches of learning. This opposition in certain quarters is based upon a variety of causes. Not tho least df theso Is tho bollef on the part of some of tho university stu dents aB a class aro spendthrifts and idlers. Tho frequent formal parties and other social affairs aro pointed to as evidences of tho presence of socloty men and women rather than of schol ars. The formal partios aro undoubtedly duo largely to tho fraternity elements. Only two annual formals aro given by students aside from the Greek letter organizations. Under these condi tions, tho action of tho frats in volun tarily voting to do 'away with a con siderable part of tho social frill so distasteful to soma of tho state's tax payers cannot but havo a most favor able impression. It indicates a spirit O B O OOOOO0OOOO3 I 92 Temple Theatre of appreciation for tho right stand ards of scholarship, and, incidentally, of economy. It is to be hoped that thoBo who havo opposed tho univer sity because of alleged social .ex tremes will noto this move by tho Greeks and tame their opposition ac cordingly. Dan Qutlebcn, '00, together with his brother, C. T. Gutleben, are engaged in architectural and engineering con struction, 935 Monadnock Bldg., San Francisco, Cal. Mr. Gutleben wrltos that his eight-year absence from the campus haB not lessened his Interest and good will for Nobraska. Georgia people have Just discovered that one whlto boy or girl In Massachusetts- to each G07 people is attend ing school, while tho Georgia propor tion is one to 1,130 of population. Ac cordingly, the Atlanta Georgian calls for less talk about bank clearings In booming tho city and more talk about education. E. L.
