DISCUSSED AT VESPERS
Russia' Has Produced Nothing:
Since the War Condition
of Students is Critical
Present-day conditions in Russia
wore explained to University girls at
Vespers Tuesday evening by Miss
Bruscia Dodcnsky. Miss Dedensky is
now a teacher in Central City. She
came to this country from Russia
jtif.t one year and seven months ago,
and she is well acquainted with the
situation in her country, and Cspcclal
ly with conditions among the stu
dents there.
Mary Snavely led the meeting, and
in introducing the speaker, an
nounced that a gift of fifty cents will
provide for one Russian student for
forty days.
The present situation (in Russia ha
been heightened by the condition la
Europe, according to Miss Dedennkv,
who stated that the situation Is wrap
ped up in the economic conditions of
the country. Xo society is left hold
ing together, except perhaps the
church, and it is shattered.
All production ;has stopped since
the war. The factories are close'!,
a:id the farmers who were in the
fields went into war and lost their
lives. Everything is being used up.
Miss Dedensky told the girls, and
nothing is replacing what has bcea
used Xo'.hing is entering the coun
try from outside, and . there is no
manufacture of machinery or any
thing to work with", and no produc
tion of food
in the revolution and civil war
that followed the war, robbery pre
vailed all over the country. Blockade
and intervention of the allies fol
lowed the civil war. Add to that
the lack of rainfall in the Volga dis
trict, and the famine in which thoi
sands of people are dying dally, and
some Idea Is given of the Russian
condition.
"How do students live and 6tudy
under such conditions?" Miss Deden
sky queried In beginning her talk on
students in Russia. The student re
lief commission of Russia Is doing
all it can to save the few students
who are left, who are now In seven
teen Universities. Only ten of thos
Universities receive help from the
student friendship fund.
Miss Dedensky told how the aver
age student spends his day. He goes
to work at 7:30 or 8 every morning
with nothing more solid to eat than
a cup of weak tea. After working
till 4 o'clock the student goes home,
cooks a meagre meal of potatoes.
then goes to the University and t In
clashes until 11 o'clock, returning to
his room and studying after that
hour. All University classes In Rus
sia are held in the evening, because
the students have to work all day.
The classrooms are not heated, ard
there are not enough books, and
scarcely any otlier supplies.
The ololhing problem and the loflg
Ing problem are as acute for Russian
students as their food question. But
in spite of everything they do not
complain and press the student re
lief commissions for more aid.
Many Rnsslan students have given
up their schooling, but others are at
tempting to go on with their educa
tion because they reside Russia
need frir educated men and women
and 'eir search after knowledge is
a trti.' one.

STUDENT HOME
the use of all the students in the
and will probably be changed
PRESBYTERIANS TO
Presbyterians Plan to Erect a
$20,000 Structure for the Use
of Students
The Presbyterians of the state and
of the city of Lincoln are planning
a home near the campus for the uso
of all students in the University as
a place where they may have meet
ings or may go to see the University
pastor, it is. not the purpose of those
who are building the house to make
it a club house nor a social center
according to the Rev. Dean R. Leland,
University pastor.
The home will cost approrimatcly
$20,000 according to the present plans.
The site has not been chosen but it
will be close enough to the campir
so that the students will not hav
to go out of their way to reach it.
Other denominations are planning
similar buildings and it. is hoped thai
each church may have a University
home. The University pastor wishes that
it he understood that the home is not
for Treshyterian students alone but
for all the denominations on the
campus. Every student on the cam
pus will be welcome, but the honu
will be financed only by the Presby
terians in the state.
Homes built by churches are qultfc
common in the larger schools and in
many of the state Unifersities. Cor
nell. Iowa, California and Colorado,
are some of the pioneers In the field.

POOLE TALKS AT
FRESli LECTURE
Botany Expert Describes Micro
organisms to First Year Arts
and Science Students
The relation of micro-organisiins to
the everyday life of man was de
scribed by Professor Raymond J. Tool
of the Department ot Botany in a lec
ture on "A World of Life Beyond Our
Eyes" dUivd-cd to the freshmen of
the College of Arts and Sciences,
Monday evening and Tuesday mora-
Professoi Pool pointed oui tna.
ebout iff'.'.o plants an.1 animals ,oo
small to be Feen with the naked eye
are known to exist. Ever since 160",
when the r.i u. ' scope was first used,
mar has I K" dying the relation
of these ir y plants and animals to
his everyday life.
"The smallest living things known
are p'ants" declared the professor.
In order to mnke plain the mini.tt
dimensions of micro-orpanMms Pro
fessor Pool pointed out that it would
take 100 of them lined up, to reach
across the edpe of a book page oie
tenth of a millimeter thick, and that
it would take 20,000 of them to reach
across the edge of a dollar. Professor
Pool explained that the dust Is teem
ing with micro-organisms. Many of
these tiny plants and animals have
shapes that are not only bizarre but
symmetrical.
"Many of these organisms are im
portant because of the damaee they
do to other living things," Professor
Tool stated. He told how thee or
ganisms get into the bodies of other
p'anls and animals causing trouble.
"The loss of life caused by these
microscopic organisms is indescrib
able," said Professor Pool, "but we
can get some idea of the other losses
they cause, in money estimates.'
Profesor Pool then pointed out that
every year these micro-organisms
cause a loss to the farmers and or
chardists of this country of ?500.000,
000. "Xo matter what the living thing
is, there is some other living thing
waiting to get into it an-1 get a liv
ing from it." Professor Pool statfl.
He also pointed out many of these
micro-organisms do work that is ot
value to man. In this connection,
Professor Pool explained that the
odor and flavor of sweet butter were
due to the work of micro-organisms.
Cliaese is another dairy product
caused by action of such micro-organisms.
The souring of milk Is the
result of the work of micro-organisms.
The process of fermentation h
due to the work of micro-organisms.
The micro-organisms also perform
a useful service in the decay process.
There would be no putrefaction or
decay if it were not for these micro
organisms. The process of putrefac
tion does away with the waste pro
ducts of men.
"These micro-organisms are every
where about us living their own mic
roscopic lives," concluded Professor
Pool. A cycle of important changes
are going on in nature with which
these tiny plants are concerned and
everyone should be interested in these
changes.

ANDERSON TALKS
S
Chemistry Prcfesscr Who Spent
Eighteen Months in Transvall
Speaks to Class
Profesor Arthur Anderson of the
College of griculture gave a talk
on South Africa to Mi's Reynoldson's
class in British Expansion Tuesday
mornin?. Trofessor Anderson was In
South Africa for over a year and a
half as an instuctror in the Tra
vaal In Pretoria.
The Union of South Africa !&
formed by four provinces: Transvaal,
Xataal. Free State and Cape Colony,
and one protectorate, the former Ger
man East Africa, says Professor An
derson. The entire union Is some
thing like ten times as large as Ne
braska. The population comprise
two million whites and eight or nlns
million natives. The whites live fn
the cities, however, leaving the ter
ritory very thinly settled on the
whole. Johannesbburg is the 'arrest
city, approximately 150.000 Inhabit
ants and Capetown has nearly as
many.
The lang-iares are Dutch and Eng
lish and both are oficial. Govern
ment notices are printed In both
languages. The professors In th
schools are supposed to be bl-HnmaJ,
and although most clases are conduct
ed in English, many are held in Dnlrif.
One flrawhack to the use of Dutch as
a language of Instruction Is the fart
that there are few textbooks wrUtea
In South African Dutch.
The climate In South Africa Is
'Continued on Pare )
