Ramma Phi Beta. Delta Gamma. . phi- Phi. Kappa Delta. Members of the Board and Procters of the various sorority and rooming houses are in charge of the drive and are stationed at various places on tin campus selling memberships. "It is necessary to pledge one thou sand members in order to keep pace with other schools over the country," stated Barbara Wiggenhorn, sopho more member of the W. S. G. A. board. "The Women's Self Government Asso ciation is a national organization, rep resented in all the largest schools in the country, and Nebraska, we are sorry to say, has been r.ne of i's small est chapters. It is hard to understand this because Nebraska ranks so high among other schools in all other ac tivities. Perhaps not enough stress has been laid upon its Importance bt tore. But at any rate, this year must mark a change. Students should real ize what it means, not only to them selves, but also to Nebraska as a whole. That is the true Cornhusker spirit. Locally, a membership gives a girl the privilege of voting and help ing a girl thru school. Nationally, it puts Nebraska University on the map, so to speak, and in the same class with the best school of the country. Every girl that joins Is doing her bit to push Nebraska in the front ranks. Every 50 cents counts." she continued. The W. S. G. A. is the biggest wom en's organization on the campus and fosters such events as the GirU' Corn hiicker luncheon,- and tbe annual Girls' Cornhusker party, and has for its prime purpose the governing of women in tbe sorority and rooming hoiiss.

Try outs for the relay team will be held Saturday en Nebraska field TO ASSEMBLE FUNDS FOR Money Now Eeing Gathered by Professor and Mrs. Wallace in Texas Oil Fields. The basis for the "American Foun dation for Research" has become so firmly established that it is safe to guess that it will soon oe a well- known institution. The object of tin foundation will be the study of early English literature, dealing principally with the works of William Shake speare. Professor and Mrs. C. W. Wallace have been accumulating the money for the endowment found con sisting of more than a million dollars in the oil fields of Texas. The hold ings,- at present, are so extensive that the Wallaces will undoubtedly an nounce their completed plans within the near future. Mr. Wallace first came to Lincoln with the Western Normal College. Later he became connected with the University and it was then that he took up the study of Shakespeare. His wife was much interested in the same work and was well-equipped to assist him when they later undertook the ex amination of the Shakespearean docu ments which were found in London. Until the war ended their efforts, they examined approximately five million original records. In the four works the a ready for publishing some un usual discoveries dealing with their investigations were disclosed. (it order to obtain money with which to carry on his studies Professor Wa! lace turned to the Texas oil fields Work in geology had always interested him and in this business he felt he would be able to become wealthy with out draining money from the pockets of anyone. At this time he entered into partnership with Samuel J. Bell, and together they were able to pro- due a smaU fortune. Then Professo Wallace, with his wife as a partner, proceeded further In the oil business. For four years they have been obliged to undergo all th hardship:. 2nd privations such a life involves; yet they have held their hope of a re search foundation always before them and are now well repaid for it Is al most a reality. Dr. Wallace conducts all the prospects and developments personally. After a well has been found he puts a reliable man in charge and sells the output to some com- rany. At present the Wallace com bination controls between forty-five and fifty wells which yield varying amounts of oil. When the plans of the American Foundation for Research are finally completed they will involve a storv well worthy of attention. It Is not yet announced whether this will be a University of Nebraska or a national foundation. ir lilUfit FOR OLYMPIC EVENTS ! Try cuts for Boxing and Wrestling Wdnesdav for Freshmen- Soph Battle.

BENGSTQN LPEAKS 10 Ciles Prospects in Latin-America ai Offering a Big Opportunity fcr American Engineers. "North of Argentina, practically all of Latin-America is undeveloped," Ha ied Professor N. A. Bengston, of the department of geography, to fieshmen engineers in their regular convocation, Monday at five, in M. E. 206. "This circumstance not only .3 an opportunity to American. but is also creates a heavy responsi bility for them. A complete read justment that has come about since I was in your place in an Incredibly short time has changed the United States from a debtor nation to a creditor. This means that we will be the principal investing nation In foreign properties in the future, and we must seek the best us for our captal. The American engineers who enter these countries must al ways have adaptability and 'initio live, and they should have executive ability. We do far more business v.ilh Central America than any other country." Just leturned from a trip through .iuateaiala and Honduras in Central Vmerica, Professor Bengston was able :o show seme sides of actual life in those nations. He emphasized his xpe: iencei iu Honduras especially, ijt-t auhe it is the least known and the least developed, having no coast to coast railway. AH this, he said, was because of tLe lack of influence from American capital although Che coun try is only lour days freni New Or leans. "To i a:'.: the remote corners of t':c iand, whose aiea is only 47.,-'Ju square wilts, two weeks on ma.e back is an ordinary journey. Hon duras is so completely isolated thai during the world influenza epidemic in 191S, it was untouched," he con tinued. "We must remember tha'. these people are not lazy. They d J the hardest kind of work. They are merely slow, inefficient. The most modern farm equipment I saw amoi.g the natives was an old plow t:rawn by oxen. They usually hide their title's to avoid theft of the crop. The field is cleared by burning, and the corn planted among the fallen logs by dropping seed Into holes made by shoving sharp sticks into the ground. "Native labor Is riuicluolusly low priced. We paid our men twenty five cents a day; they worked four teen hours, and they provided their own board. In the more remote sec tions the jungle is so thick that a penetration of six or seven feet cuts you off from everything. The na tives' only paths are the numerous waterways, and their lives depend upon their skill as boatsmen. In many places there are no places Im provements over the living condi tions of 1402. The natives speak their own tribal tongues. The houses are merely coverings of broad leaves supported on poles, and the principal foods ar bananus and fish. If they cannot afford clothes for the whole family, the unfortunate ones simply go without." "More sympathy for those whose modes of living and whose Ideals are not ours a more Kinciiy ieeiiim for th natives Is something that Americans must put more stress upon. Any definite antipathy for American can always be traced back to the first comers who were cruel, the American is esteemed and ad Inconsiderate or dishonest. Where mired, the pioneers have been sympa thetic and helpful to the people." Dean Davis Leaves On Delaware Trip W. Clyde Davis, dean of the dentat college, left last night for Mllford, Del., to put In orders for equipment to be used In his laboratory there. will be back at the end of the week. Dean Davis will be the head of a dental research Institute and post graduate school at Mllford. LIBBY ADDRESSES CONVOCATION 01 WHO PREVENTION Executive Secretary of National Council Talks to University Students. WAR IS UNNECESSARY Names Three Points Needed for Complete Abolishment of Arms. "We have got to abolish war whether we can or not" and "We can abolish war because we must" de clared Frederick J. Libby, executive secretary of the National Council for the Reduction of Armaments, which is now termed the National Council for the Prevention of War, In an address to University students and faculty In the Temple theater at 11 o'clock con vocation Tuesday morning. In speaking on "Limitation of Arm aments," Mr. Libby argued for the prevention of all further wars. He said that the next war will be a war against civilization, and the first day of that war as many men, women and children will be blotted out as were killed in the entire four years of the past war, because the next will be a wholesale war. . It will be fought in the air and with gas, and one such raid could wipe out all London in three hours, the speaker quoted Thomas Edison as having declared. Next War Against Civilization. Mr. Libby said that military men are confident that the next war will be against civilization, and quoted these words of General Pershing: "If we cannot abolish war it will seem that civilization has reached the point where it will destroy itself." "People say we can't abolish war, but we can abolish it because we must. 'Impossible' is no word for our mod ern times. The impossible is done when there is the will. "We are mad If we do not prevent var. But how can we prevent It? Men have always wanted to prevent war. It cannot be done by sentiment, wishes or prayers alone, but by an ntel'igent, practical effort along clear ly discerned lines. We can do it if we work together, know what we are lo'ng, and do it step by step." Program for Prevention. The Council for the Prevention of War has worked out a three-plank pro gram for the prevention of war. The ihree planks are: 1. A world organization, under any name. 2. World-wide reduction of arma iiients to a police status, denying kings armies to play with. .1. Wprld-wide education for better nternational understanding. The name of the world organiza tion dr,3.s not matter, Mr. Libby said. (Moth political parties are committed o the issue, arid the next thing to io is to keep It from becoming the football of politics. Differences Need Not Cause War. The only institution today for tho settlement of differences is war. Many people say that before war tan be abolished the causes of war. dis pits must be abolished. Mr. Libby bowed, by using the examples of "anada and this nation that the causc if war do not have to be removed to do away with war. There always will be differences, yet they need not brinr v.-a. War is an Institution, and as such it can be abolished without changing human nature, when a better Institu tion can be set up In Its place. Slav ery and the saloon were institutions and they were abolished witnmi. changing human nature. As to reduction of armaments to a police status. Mr. Libby showed that America leads the rest of the world by her great financial power, with which she holds' tho destinies of the wor'd In the hollow of her hand. If America uses her Immense financial ability to build ships, other nations will feel they have to do the same to keep up. If America reduces her mili tary expenditures, the other nations will be happy to follow her example. Five Points for Peace. The speaker emphasized Herbert Hoover's five points for peace, tho basis on which Europe can come back. The five points are: 1. Disarmament. 2. Reduction of the German repara tion to an amount she can pay. Ten millions Is the highest she can pos sibly pay, and the reparation Is now spI at thirty-three millions. 3. Making the budgets of European countries balance, so they may cut ex penditures rather than Increase taxes. 4. Bringing money back to a fixed gold basis. ' 5. Reduction of trade barriers. In the plank of world-wide education (Continued on Page 4) "Bizad" Men Invited To Commercial Club The University Commercial club has extended an invitation tn 11 business administration men to become mem bers of the e'lilj.

From each department in the Uni versity a professor reads the books printed each year, along the special line of that department, and recom mends the best of the books for pur chase by the library. In this way, Professor Wyer explained, the library was sure to get the best books printed each year on technical subjects. The University library is always on the market for books. Professor Wyer declared that it maintained purchas ing agents not only in this country, but in London, Paris and Berlin. The professor described some of th? rare books that the University pos sesses. These include a fourth edi- I tion of Shakespeare's plays printed in 16S5, a copy of the first edition of Samtfel Johnson's dictionary of tha English language, printed in 1755.

In describing the character of the various libraries, Professor Wyer ex plained that the agricultural library, the law library', the engineering li brary and the medical library contain books of a technical character.

SERVICES T VESPERS Annual Y. W. C. A. Candle-Lighi-ing Services at Ellen Smith Hall Tuesday. The Y. W. C. A. held its annual candle-lighting service with impressive solemnity at vespers Tuesday evening U 5 o'clock at Ellen Smith Ha'.l. A hymn by the vesper choir, a prayer and the scripture reading were fol lowed by a soprano solo, "The Lord Is My Shepherd," by Eula Winter. Mrs. Roy Greene, a former Y. W. C. A. secretary, spoke on ' Following Jesus Christ." Jeanette Cook, who led. lighted the large white candles from which each girl lighted her small candle. The flame was a symbol cf the divine light of Jesus in the hearts of the girls. At the close of the can dle-lighting the girls read the purpose in unison and a few minutes were de voted to silent prayer. The choir formed a line on each side of the ves tibule and the girls marched out be tween them. The candles were not ex tingitished until the girls were out side. "It is beautiful and awful to stop and think here at the beginning of the year what the Y. W. C. A. is, and why you belong to it," began Mrs. Greene. "Did you join because some one told you to? Did you join be cause of the widespread opinion that you ought to belong to the Y. W. C. A.? Or did you join because you had In mind the last item in the Nebraska girls cred which says that religion should have some place in the life of the Nebraska girl? "I wonder if you realize that the Y. W. C. A. is one of the few places on the campus where spiritual devel opment is fostered. Its purpose ! world wide; girls in China and Japan are striving to do the same things you are. The Y. W. C. A. is trying to make the will of Christ effective iu society," she stated. "When you join the Y. W. C. A. you declare your pur pose to live as a true follower of th? Lord Jesus Christ. That means lcj Ir.g the sort of person Christ was. The New Testament tells of Him as a man gentle and forgiving, yet capable of stinging anger; He was endowed wu:i the greatest power, yet He kept it un- ler perfect control; He was affection ate, yet lie endured the most severe physical and mental pain; He was humble, yel He had the mo.it supreme self-confidence the world has ever known. If you live as a follower of Chris. you will learn to put first those things which are first. You will accept this activity as worth while to you and discriminate against the ones which are not. You will pick and choose an'. not become entangled in everythinz. Someone has said that every book yon read, you lose a chance to read an other. You must pick and choose, Mrs. Green emphasized. "The Y. W. C. A. is not a place to piunge into ac ivites. Yc.ur life ,-s a follower oi Christ will not be entirely easy. i will mean hard work, self control and endurance to the point of exhaustion. But It will bring you a life of beauty and friends and love." Mrs. Greene told the story of Peter and John and the lame man, and quoted what she considered the mo"t significant verse of the passage, "Peo (Continued on Page 4) FOR MN-HELLENIC Bessie Reeves Is New Vice Chair man and Roberta Prince Secretary.
