PROF. LEON FRA2IER SPEAKS IN
INTEREST OF. PEACE
ORGANIZED INSANITY IS TOPIC
Under Auspices of World Polity Club
State That Carnegie Founda
tion Would Back Up Stu
dents in Any Move
'Cannons are not meant to keep the
peace; they are meant to kill people,"
was one of the characteristic lines in
the address of Prof. Leon Frazier of
the Carnegie Peace Foundation in a
tirade against militarism launched
Friday evening under the the auspices
of the World Polity Club of the Unl
' versity. "
He deplored the tendency of the
time to teach military training in our
universities, thus diverting the atten
tion of college men from the science
of war prevention and the political
reforamtion of society to the medieval
creed of arms, which has alreadymis
erably failed to keep the peace.
"The highest defense a college man
can offer his country is to keep that
country out of war by the science of
war prevention." he emphatically
stated.
"Militarist philosophy ignored the
value of international understanding7,
and of brains instead of bullets. In
dealing with other plagues of society
we concentrate on prevention instead
of cure, as epidemics and fires. Mili
tarism does not go back far enough
to prevent. They say the best way to
settle a misunderstanding is to fight
it out. Why not use the philosophy
of prevention and say the best way to
settle a misunderstanding is to under
stand it."
Professor Frazier then went ahead
to show that armed peace was the
best provocative of war, and cited the
present great European war to show
how the fallacious philosophy of the
militarists worked out.
About twenty men belonging to the
club heard the address, and it is ex
pected that they will make a definite
stand on the question of enforced mili
tary training at Nebraska. In fact.
Professor Frazier urged students to
start a campaign against the drill re
quirements and declared that the
Foundation would back them up if
they would only start something. At
present two years of drill is required
of each arts and science student in
order to make him eligible for gradu
ation. At least a large number of the
students themselves are opposed to
the practice as evidenced by the vari
ous excuses registered each fall by
freshmen, zealous to avoid the work,
and ignoran of the stringent rules in
force.
W. K. Fowler, a colonel of the regi
ment, heard the address, but made no
comment
Recent testa showed that acoustic
properties in the tale bowl were very
good. It Is now planned to stage
operas In this immense outdoor thea
tre during, the spring months, when it
is not used for football.
"K. N. grads" of '95 are making
Plans for a reunion during commence
ment week. All the classes divisible
by five are making special effort to
fcave large delegations present that
week.

ATHLETIC BOARD
WILLHELP TENNIS
Will Furnish New Courts as Soon as
Possible Twenty Men Report for
Practice Saturday
Now that the Athletic Board has
taken up the matter of providing some
ii. w tennis rnurts for the US6 of Unl
versity students, much interest is .be
ing shown in this great game.
The plan is to give the students ten
courts. The University has purchased
the houses south of the present courts
and are negotiating for the houses in
the east part of the same block
These houses will be removed and
grounds prepared for the courts. The
fence of the present athletic field will
be extended to take in the courts
In this manner the courts can be pro
tected from trespass and kept in good
shape. New backstops are to be pro
vided. The fact that the University only
has two courts at the present time
discourages tennis. The number of
courts is so small that there is no as
surance that there will be empty
courts. The boys seem to monopolize
these, and the girls are preparing to
demand their rights. A movement is
on foot for a committee of girls to
wait on the Athletic Board and see
what can be done.
Last Saturday twenty men reported
for practice and only half of them
could be accommodated. Some of the
players are showing exceptionally
good form and Nebraska may expect
to be represented by a strong team
this spring.

THE 1,1 FESTIVAL
CONCERTS HELD AT THE CITY
AUDITORIUM
ORCHESTRA FROM NEW YORK
Symphony Orchestra to Stop Here on
Their Way to the Coast Price
of Concerts in the East
Five Dollars -
The New York Symphony Orchestra.
under the direction of Walter Dam-
rosch, while on their way to the Pa
cific coast, will give two concerts at
the Auditorium in connection with the
University May Festival, May 6. They
will be accompanied by the following
soloists: Grace eKarns, soprano, who
is the highest paid church singer in
America; Millo Picco of the Boston
Grand Opera Company, baritone;
Merle Tillotson Alcock, contralto, and
John Campbell, tenor, who is succes
sor to Evan Williams at the Marble
Collegiate Churchy New York. The
festival will begin May 4 with the pre
sentation at the Auditorium of "Cava
leria Rustivana" by the University
Chorus, with Miss LeBaron and Mr.
Wheatley in the leading roles. They
will be accompanied by a local orches
tra of twenty-five pieces, under the di
rection of Mrs. Raymond.
Season tickets will be sold for all
of the concerts during the festival for
two dollars. The average price of
seats in New York for each concert
by the Symphony Orchestra is five
dollars, but since this is given under
the auspices of the Board of Regents,
it is possible to offer it for this price.
Grace Kerns, soprano, who is tour
ing with the New York Symphony
Orchestra, hails from the Old Do
minion and all Virginians are proud
of the young singer, for she holds the
highest salaried choir position in
America, being the solo soprano at
the St. Bartholomew Episcopal Church
in New York.
Miss Kerns is one of the leading
concert singers of these United States
and glories in the fact that she is a
"Made in America" singer. She has
toured Europe on pleasure and recrea
tion bent, but her musical education
was all acquired in New York City,
where 6he studied with Mme. Cap
piani and also with Girandet, the lat
ter being at the Institute of Musical
Art
When she applied for her present
' church position, she found two hun
dred other soprano applicants were to
sing before the committee singers
from all the eastern cities. The ap
pointment was to be made on merit
alone and after all the soloists were
heard, Miss Kerns was awarded the
highest salaried church position in
America, which same she has held
ever since.
Millo Picco, the baritone of the
quartet which will accompany the
New York Symphony Orchestra, Wal
ter Damrosch, conductor, on its spring
tour, is one of the truly excellent art
ists now before the American concert
public, ranking favorably with Titta
Ruffo and Pasquale Amato. A native
of Turin, the Paris of Italy, he was a
pupil of its foremost Conservatory of
Music, and afterwards a student of
the old traditional Accademnia di S.
Cecilia, in Rome.
