Address on "cnaiienge
American Problems.'
wtW A T. ADDRESS WILL

' be GIVEN THIS EVENING
Problems of Today is One of Big
Factors in Our Every Day
Life, Says Eddy.
Sherwood Eddy, in a stirring epeeeh
Thursday morning, called me alien
,inn of tut? students ot University o
vvhraska to the vital problems con
fronting America today. The three
Muls of our government ur? hberty
.mud justice for all and democracy
We need to recall the high Ideals of
faith presented in uns wu"J
liest code of laws.
America leads in agriculture, man
ufacturing, patents, Inventions and in
genuity and we may lead the world
in morals if we will. The war has
left the world confronted with great
problems, political problems, ,Taco
nroblems and Industrial unrest
Polities are full of graft and vice
in our cities. Money can influence
the government to do all underhand
ed things.
One-third of the humans in the
world are white, one-third are yellow
and one-third are biacK and brown
Our privileged white race has seized
nine-tenths of the globe. Today a
great race movement is being awak
ened in Asia and Africa; to over
come it we must believe in humanity
nut in race. America Is scored severe
ly the world over for her actions in
regard to her race problems. Lynch
ing, murders are rife. We lead the
world in certain forms of lawlessness,
Other countries have race problems
India and Africa but they do not
lynch. We are held up to ridicule as
the country of mob violence. Mr. Ed
dy told of the terrors of slavery and
the injustice done the negro lace at
the end of the civil war when the
negroes were turned loose, a help
less, uneducated race. The popular
idea of keeping them In their old
places broeds only disease and crime,
The migration of human spirits
leads to industrial unrest. Life acts
in two directions hunger lor life,
and love for sharing life, closely re
lated to these are the Instincts of
8elf-proservaiion and preservation of
species. America letms the world la
strikes. Many men are on strikes
today and as many others are unem
ployed. The causes of this unrest are
the unjust distribution of wealth, un
employment and denial of opportunity
of earning a living, growing feeling
of injustice, denial of right to organ
ize labor as in other countries. W
must save our country by applying
the principles of democracy.
The money power of America s
controlled by a few. There Is a vadt
and dangerous concentrating of
wealth In this country. We are
wealthy yet we have great poverty
among the lower classes. They
must have education and greater op
portunities to earn their livings. Vve
must hold to the Ideals of Washing
ton and Lincoln who warned ns
against the tendency of our race itr
wards money ideals and wpa'th con
centration. The ranks of vice end
crime are recruited from povertj. Let
us wake up to the national problems
of our day.

EDDY AT CONVOCATION
Large Audience Greets Noted Lec
turer at Ag. College Thurs
day Morning.
"There is something more in Hie,
in the farm, in agriculture, -and agri
cultural work and in the world" way
the text of Sherwood Eddy address
to the Ag. students and faou'y wiu
packed the assembly in agrlcultaral
hall Thursday morning at n. Begln
ning his talk with accounts and com
parisons of agricultural conditions la
the old und newly formed countries
of Europe, Mr. Eddy pictured to his
attentive audience the social condi
tions of these countries in a way that
lias never been equaled by any speak
or before any previous Ag. convoe
tion. The progressive agricuituiists
of Denmark may well be taken as
examples in the advancement ol so
cial and economic conuitlons in this
country where the Important indus
tries are controlled by about one hun
dred wealthy famicties, Mr. Eddy
pointed out. His appeal to the stu
dents of agriculture is to wake up to
the seriousness of the industrial dy
nasty that is gripping tv.e great in
dustry of the nation and to gel the
"something more" out of the fan-.,
tlie agricultural work jsind out of
life.

President Lowell of Harvard Rep
rimands Modern Ideas on

"The deep-seated prejudice which

against those fateful institutions

now shared by the instructor!.
"Especially in the west," says
President Lowell of Harvard in his
recent report, "teachers regard ex

(Loud cries of "hear, hear!" come
from the youth of the land.) But
rnai.ipnt Towg11 will not hear. Ho
belabors these western heretics witt

The reason teachers regard exam
inations as- needless is that taey
think they are "aware how much
knowledge the pupil possesses, since
they know what has been impartea
him." Just so one may know there
money in oil stocks, having seen
so many people put in it. "How
much has been poured into a bucket,'
President Lowell gravely argues, is
poor measure of what it ccntaius
It leaks, and the sU dents minds
always leak on, one never knows how
much." So for the present, at least
Harvard, there will continue to be
hour exams, midyears and finals.
Yet somehow the mind lingers over
that word "indictment." As prac
ticed in American universities, what
else are examinations unless they be
an
inquisition? The western tea.u
have a better case than President

Lowell admits. In its modern de
velopment, the function of teaching
has become Siamese twin of tne col

the
authorities have of knowing mat

lectures. Let Dryasdust do hie worst,

warning from the dean's office and
eventually a summons. At leaJt four

MILITARY DEPARTMENT
Members of Companies E and F
Treated to Four Reels of In
struction Work.
A Tree, two hour, four reel, mov
ing picture show was presented to the
"V" and "E" It. O. T. C. companies
last Wednesday in placo ot 'lie cus
tomary lecture. The iimis lnd been
taken under the direction of the
United States government lor use in
instruction work, and he different
methods used with army packs, tr.o
working mechanism of Browning ma
chine guns, and tho lntriclties cf rifle
grenades.
The first reel showed methods ot
pitching camp with "dog" or shelter
tents. The two veterans who did
the job took just live minutes to
have it completed. As tue sign board
held up beside the workers said,
"Practice makes nimtle fingers."
The process of taking it down was
also shown together with details ot
making up the sixty pound pack.
After the pack was all ready the
packers strapped it on me back of a
dummy and laid the dummy dewn in
full range of a field piece. Shot afte
shot tore up the grouiia and the air
about the dummy, but it could di
nothing more than breaft the dum
my's arms, all vital spots being pro
tected by the hard tack in the pach..
Two reels were taken of an expert
who deftly took apart the complex
mechanism ot a Browning machine
gun and put it together again without
a hitch or blunder. When all as
sembled and loaded with bullet beits
containing two hundred rifty cartrid
ges each, the weapon proved to be
a vicious one. It could shoot so fast
that a pool of water receiving the
i! ots would be torn to foam, while if
the barrel was turned against a cut
bank, the dust stirred up soon made
the camera's view but a white dust
curtain. This type of weapon has, in
government tests, shot continuously
for one hour and iwen .y minutes
without a halt or jam. Baulks are
quite possible, as battered cirtridgeJ,

has said that the roaming co-ed pho

These fair photographers have
taken your challenge and declare thai
you will not escape the tell-tale lenses
of their Graflex double-speed camera

look of disgust that is perhaps feigned
Mayhaps already your smiling or
non-smiling visage has been "snap

Among the many pictures of Univers

all of them are splendid likenesses

STUDENTS OF VIENNA
IN NEED OF RELIEF
Quick Action Needed to Save Men
and Women Students of Au
strain Capital.
The case of the students in Vienna
is even graver than that of tie pic
fesslonal and laboring classes, for
they have no Kularios and nave to
pay their university fees, which have
lately increased. There are six col
leges in Vienna, and about 20,000 men
and 1,800 women students, approxi
mately all of them belong to the
middle and working classes.
The men find great difficulty 1j
obtaining lodgings at all, most of ai,
prices for those available being com
pletely put of their reach; a little
Aibicle with a bed and no service at
all costs 200 kronen a month. The
get their meals at the college canteen
and for two meals a day, which is en
tirely insufficient, the ucudents ha'-e
io pay BOO kronen a month. As
large majority of students have, at
most, resources amounting to 300 kro
nen a month, the result is thac men
and women both frequently have to
go without anything more sub-itaniUl
than a cup of black coffee for the
whole day.
The women students for the mo;
part live at home and have to help
their mothers with the homework.
and in addition to this they are al
most all obliged to do paid outsid
work, to pay for their fees and food
The women teach and many of the
men go into factories for part of tie
day. In drawing up the very" mira
mum of necessaries which they
money can obtain, hatha, laundry,
medical attendance and all new
clothes are omitted..
The need for clothing is growing
increasingly urgent. Many of the
men are wearing their old uniforms
with nothing at all underneath then
One often sees their coats buttoned
up to the neck,' to conceal the ab
sence of any shirt.
And the professors many of these
men who are now starving, led the
thought of Europe in the years before

Sherwod Eddy to Speak to Stu
dents for Last Time At St.
Paul's
MEETINGS SCHEDULED
FOR ELEVEN AND SEVEN
Monster Audiences For Great
ktivient Leader All Day
Thursday
Sherwood Eddy will close his three
day series of student meetings to
day with two addreses at St. Paul's
church. At the eleven o'clock con
vocation, for which students may be
excused from classes. Eddy has an
nounei'd that he will give his solu
tion for the mighty social and in
dustrial problems which he rased at
the Thursday mornng meetng. Ii
tho evening the great student leader
will sum up his lectures and continue
the "(StraigiijtifronKhe-shoiilder1" dis
cussion of student problems. Tho
evening meeting is scheduled for
seven o'clock and is characterized by
the speaker as the most important
ot" the series. Tonight is closed to
all other University functions.
Shattering all attendance records
for attendance of Unversity convoca
tions, Eddy has already addressed
four audiences of over three thousand
each. The crowds which filled all
available space in the big church
auditorium reached a maximum at thc
Thursday evening meeting. The com
mittee is again issuing the call that
only studentjs can bo accomodated
at tho Friday meetings. Plans for
allowing students from nearby col
leges to attend the Frday meetings
have had to he given up on account
of the unprecedented throngs at the
convocations.
Interest Runs High
At the great Thursday evening
meetings, Eddy spent the entire time
answering suestions which were sent
up from the student body, dealing
with the problems which he had
raised in his previous discussons
Even though the questions were
grouped as. to subject matter tho
lecturer had not tme to answer all
of them. Intense interest in his an
swers held the audience for an hour
and a half. Students repeatedly er
pressed astonishment as the clear
cut, forceful manner in which Mr.
Eddy delivered his extemporaneous
talks.
"I believe in God," said Mr. Eddy
in response to one question, "because
of the demand of my conscience, of
my heart, of my will, of my religious
nature for a God who can exert a
living influence in my lfe. And such
a God as our God as revealed in Jesus
Christ."
When one student asked what could
bo done to make campus life a more
forceful influence in a Christion way,
Mr. Eddy replied that a student with
such an ambition must first make
himself right and then pass it on to
others. He stated that the great joy
of his life was that he had the op
portunity of passing to others some
thing of the Joys of a Christon as ho
had spoken to students of twenty
countries in the past twenty-five
years.
The Darwinian Theory
Refuting the statement that a scien
tist cannot believe in God, Mr. Eddy
told why the Bible ftory of the crea
tion does not conflict with the theory
of evolution. He stated that a greater
proportion of educated people are
Christians than of the uneducated
classes, thus disproving the theory
that religion and educaton conflct.
The power and realty of prayer oc
cupied t he speaker for a considerable
time as answer to many questions
along that line. Mr. Eddy relate!
instance after instance of prayers
which he knew to be answered. H-a
warned his audience that selfish pray
ers would not be answered; that It
was God's will which must be done.
He related the story of how one of ,
first prayers had been that he might
