SEVENTH ANNUAL INTERCLASS
CHAMPIONSHIP DEBATE
SOPHOMORES AND JUNIORS
Professor M. M. Fogg, Professor Cald
well, and Mr. O. K. Perrln Are
Chosen for Judge Juniors
Will Defend Negative
The seventh annual debate for the
intercla88 championship will be held
tomorrow Phi Beta Kappa Day at a
special Convocation beginning: at ten
o'clock, when all classes will be dis
missed. After the debate the names
of the Seniors who have won honors
will be announced.
The Question to be debated is the
live one of the export of munitions of
war: "Resolved, That the government
of the United States should prohibit
the sale of munitions of war by citi
zens of this country." The contest
will be between the Juniors, who, on
the negative, unanimously defeated
the Seniors on March 2, and. the Sopho
mores, who, on the affirmative, by a
three-to-nothing decision, overcame
the Freshmen on the same date.. The
Juniors will be represented by August
C. Krebs of Friend. Samuel C. Zimmer
man of Lincoln, and Guy C. Chambers
of Sidney; the Sophomores by Axel
R. Swenson, Oakland; Robert B. War
ing, Geneva, and Anton H. Jensen,
Blair.
This is a debate that can be. fol
lowed and appreciated by every per
son who reads the daily papers; it is
not a dry, out-of-the-way subject, but
a fine chance to gain an insight into
the neutrality policy of the govern
ment and to understand something of
the trials of President Wilson and Sec
retary Bryan have to contend with.
The team members have been work
ing hard for about two months. An
interesting and instructive discussion
is certainly in store for the audience.
Professor M. M. Fogg. Professor
Caldwell, and Mr. O. K. Perrin have
been chosen judges. At the close of
the preliminary debate the two teams
shook for sides. The Juniors won and
chose to defend the negative, on which
they had defeated the Seniors.
Mr. Swensen will open for the af
firmative, followed by Mr. Jensen and
Mr. Waring. The order of speakers
for the negative will be Mr. Krebs.
Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Chambers.
The members of the Freshman
team, whom the Sophomores defeated
March 2, were George Grimes. Omaha;
William cull. Oakland, and George
Craven. Lincoln.
The Seniors who went under to the
Juniors were Joseph A. Fillip!. Clark
son; Walter B. Sadilek. Wilber.

LETTER IS RETURNED
AFTERYEAR'S TRVVEL
Letter Mailed a Year Ago Returned
With Six Cents Postage Due
"Awgwan" Paid Postage
After being in the mails for a year
a letter was returned to A. H. Dins
more yesterday marked "Postage Due
Six Cents." It was mailed to Charles
Wohlford, Cadet Officers' Association
last March, and since that time has
been traveling along the circuit of
Uncle Sam's mailing routes. Mr. Dins
more refused to pay the six cents, as
he claimed the letter would be of lit
tle use to him in its decayed state.
The "Awgwan" paid the postage
later. They intend to cut one or two
of the popular jokes of that ancient
period from its pages to use in the
next edition of their magazine.
SIXTH SYMPHONY
F0RJOIIVOCATI0II
Large Audience Enjoyed Beethoven's
Melody by String Quartet, With
Mrs. Raymond at the Organ
The growing popularity of the mus
leal entertainments at Convocation
was manifested again yesterday morn
ing when a large audience heard the
Sixth Symphony by Beethoven played
by the String Quartette, with Mrs
Carrie B. Raymond at the organ.
Probably the idea of the theme can
be best got from the secondary titles
given the different movements by
Beethoven, which may be taken as
authorative hints of what thoughts the
composer intended to convey by the
music. The sub-heads follow:
Allegro ma .non troppo. Awakening
of Cheerful Feelings on Arriving in the
Country.
Andante molto moaso. Scene at the
Brook.
Allegro. Merry Gathering of Peas
ants.
Allegro. Thunderstorm.
Allegretto. Glad and Grateful Feel
ings After the Storm.
The theme has to do with the joys
one meets upon gaining the open
country the songs of the birds and
the various nature sounds. The listen
ers are then carried to a brook and
the murmur and babble of the waters
Is distinctly audible. Next comes the
peasants gathering for a dance. This
movement opens with a Jig-like melody
that transports one to the festivities.
The dance is Interrupted by a thun
der storm which breaks up the fun
and sends the dancers to seek shelter.
As the storm subsides and the birds
again start singing, comes the shep
herd's song after danger a simple
lyric with a touch of the formal de
voutness of an ancient hymn. With
this pleasing melody the music ends.

CHANCELLOR SPOKE
OF UNIVERSITY WEEK
Students Who Will Go to Give Enter
tainments Reminded of Responsi
bility and University Standards
Chancellor Avery spoke yesterday to
students who are going away Exten
slon Week. He reminded the students
that they were responsible for impres
sions given concerning University
standards. As individuals they are
free to play pool, but as representa
tives of the University they must re
frain. The legislature and the inhab
itants of the towns visited will all be
friendly, but critical.
The Chancellor commented on the
altruism of the performers, saying he
did not doubt they would catch the
spirit of the project and do full credit
to the University.
LEGISLATORS STODY
TUBERCULOSIS LAWS
Thirty-Two Legislatures Considering
Different Laws Along This Line
Number of Bills Up
Bills dealing with tuberculosis are
now being considered in thirty-two
state legislatures, according to an an
nouncement made today by The Na
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis.
In six states, Alabama, Arizona.
California, Iowa, Tennessee and Wash
ington, bills are being considered
which call for the reporting and regis
tration of all living cases of tubercu
losis. Alabama, Connecticut. Iowa,
Massahcusetts, Pennsylvania and the
District of Columbia are working for
laws which will require that consump-
tives who refuse to observe sanitary
regulations and are a menace to others
may be removed and detained in hos-!of
pitals. In Alabama, Arizona, Cali
fornia, Illinois, Maine -and Missouri,
legislation permitting the establish
ment of county or local hospitals for
tuberculosis are being discussed, and
In California, Illinois, Iowa, Maine,
Missouri and New Hampshire state
subsidies of $3 to $5 per week per
patient are being asked for such in
stitutions. A more or less complete
reorganization of the state health work
Is sought in several states, especially
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Ne
braska, Texas and Arizona. In Indiana
and Alabama bills providing for full-
time county and city health officers
are being considered.
As an aid in furthering these and
similar bills, the National Association
has issued a pamphlet entitled "Tuber
culosis Legislation." which contains a
digest of existing laws in this field
with comments and comparisons of
some of the most important ones.
Ulll FUNDS REDUCED
HOUSE COMMITTEE SLASHES THE
MAINTENANCE BILL
MAKE REDUCTION OF $145,000
BUI Will Probably Receive Sanction of
Legislature Taylor's Plan of
Itemized Appropriations
Not Adopted
The special house committee on
university and normal schools has
slashed into Nebraska's share of the
General Maintenance Bill, and, if
their action is sanctioned by the legis
lature, the university and also the
normal schools, will receive smaller
appropriations in the next two years.
The university Is cut from $1,325,
000 allowed it during the pas.t blen
nium to $1,180,000 for the coming two
years. This is a reduction of $145,000
in the provision for university sup
port. In addition, the- university is
allowed, the same as In the past, to
use Its cash fund receipts estimated
at $500,000 for the two years. It will
also have the customary use of several
hundred thousand dollars received,
from the United States government.
In dealing with the tout, normal
schools the special committee has cut
down their total appropriation by
$186,500 as compared with two years
ago. In the 1913-1914 blennlum the
amount at the disposal of the normal
board was $722,000. For the ensuing
two years, the committee allows $535,
500 for all purposes. The reduction is
affected entirely by cutting out new
buildings. The Extension Bill
The third bill, covering university
campus extension, appropriates only
$300,000 out of the three-fourth mill
levy to be used of the three-fourth mill.
This is in accordance with the guar
anty given two years ago by Lincoln
business men that the cost to the
state for additional land to enlarge
the down town campus would not ex
ceed $300,000. The remainder of the
three-fourths mill levy for campus ex
tension, or rather 93 per cent of it.
will be available for buildings and im
provements. The total proceeds of the
levy for six years are estimated at
$2,000,000, so that approximately $1,
700,000 will be available for buildings
and other improvements.
The main university appropriation
of $1,180,000, which will be made up
the regular 1 mill levy and money
taken from the state general fund, is
divided into' just two items. These
are $750,000 for salaries and $430,000
