COLLEGES TALK PROHIBITION It is the Subject of Intercollegiate Debate in Many of the Eastern Schools National prohibition is a favorite topic of intercollegiate debate in the eastern colleges this season. The Amherst-Williams-Wesleyan Triangu lar uses the question "that the sale, manufacture, importation and exporta tion of alcoholic beverages, except for scientific and medicinal purposes, should be prohibited by an amendment to the constitution." This is a stronger statement of National Prohibition than that of the Hobson bill now before congress. Williams follows the tri angular in a dual debate with Union on the same question. Student Opinion, a stirring new weekly t the University of California, is perhaps the first student publica tion launched for the distinctive pur pose of raising the standards of stu dent activities in a large university.

"We regard this as a deliberate attempt to corrupt the morals of the student voter" it said. Professor M. M. Fogg During the last eight years in which Nebraska has been represented in debate, she has enjoyed "an all-victor ious year" six times. The consistent ability of Cornhusker teams in verbs! combats is due in large part to the coaching of Prof. M. M. Fogg, who has achieved a record for Nebraska lu debate which rivals her gridiron sue cesses. . This year, by mutual agree ment, a large part of actual coaching by faculty members has been done away with, but the "Fogg system" is still intact, and Its results will be seen in the Kansas-Nebraska debate on the subject of Armament.

A NEBRASKANSOIARY PAGES O, W. Meier Tells of Interesting Experiences Abroad Meets Nebraskans O. W. Meier, '98, has handed the Daily Nebraskan an interesting page from his diary in which he tells of meeting some of the present faculty members as students in the German universities and other Nebraskans abroad: "On leaving Manila at the close of the war, I applied to the American consul for passports, telling him that I intended to travel in foreign coun tries. The consul there advised me to obtain them from the consul general at Shanghai, who had authority to issue such papers, if I w-ere going that way, otherwise they would have to be forwarded to me from washing ton. "A fortnight later, at Christmas time, I landed at Shanghai, having taken an American transport from Manila to Nagasaki and then a French liner from there to the Chinese coast, after spending a short while in Japan. I called at once at the office of tne transportation company to buy passage to Europe, and ogered American gold for a ticket, but was informed that pay ment had to be made in money or tne realm.

NEBRASKA JUNIOR AN ORATOR Church in Stromsburg is Not Largo Enough to Hold the Big Crowd The following communication waa clipped from the Stromsburg paper concerning a Nebraska Junior: "Rowland N. Cloud, of New Jersey, is lecturing in Nebraska and will lecture to our townspeople next Fri day evening at the Eden Baptist church. Mr. Cloud traces his lineage back into the French nobility and his story is unusually interesting. His lecture is entitled the 'Secrets of a Great Physician and is a popular lec ture bristling with thought and filled with humor. Mr. Cloud has a record hardly equaled. At eighteen he waa widely known throughout the Eastern states as the 'Boy Preacher,' and was then the youngest pastor in the coun try. When but a college sophomore he was invited to give this lecture as the graduating address for a large high school. Recently when Mr. Cloud delivered this lecture at Wahoo where he had spoken before the opera house was not large enough to contain the people who wished to hear him airaln. Mr. Cloud is one of the best and most eloquent young lecturera In the country and Stromsburg Is fortu nate in having this chance to hear him."
