of the Administration building at S:30
this morning. Audley Sullivan, busi
ness manager of the 1923 Cornhusker,
requests that the chairman of each
college committee be present, as this
meeting is to be an important one.
Every one who is selling Comhuskers
should come to the Cornhusker office
this afternoon at 2:30 to a meeting of
the gr-neral sales, staff. Yesterday the
supply of subscription books ran out
but there are subscription books now
for anv one who wants to sell the

"The second (lay of the subscription
campaitrn was a successful one," de
clared Audley Sullivan, business man
ager, last night. The Cornhusker sale
is limited to four days so that the
editor and business manager will know
immediately how many of the books
to order. Two dollars is the initial
payment to be made when the book
is ordered. The remainder of the $4.50
will be paid when the book is de
livered.
The ballot boxes for the voting for
the representative section are in "U
hall, Social Science building, the Col
lege Book store and on the Agricul
. tural C ollege campus. To be counted
the ballots must be completely filled.
This is to prevent campaigning for a
few individuals. Xo soliciting is al
lowed at the booths.
The headquarters of the sales cam-
paign are in the Cornhusker office in
the basement of the Administration
building. The business manager would
like to have any one who has the spare
time to take out a book and solicit
subscriptions.
ENGINEERS BUY WAR
DEPARTMENT MATERIAL
Professor De Baufre Secures
Valuable Machine Tools for
Engineering Dep't.
Professors W. L. DeBaufre bought
war department machinery for the
mechanical engineering department
of the University on his recent trip
to the east as follows:
One three-spindle drill press.
Onp universal tool and cotter
grinder.
One Brinnell hardness testing ma
chine.
Several platform scales.
Two woodworking machines.
This equipment was bought at ten
to fifteen per cent of Its cost. While
Prof. DeBaufre was In Washington
and New Torlt on work connected
with extraction of oxygen from the
air. he decided to look up the ma
chinery that the Bureau of Roads of
the Tpartment of Agriculture Is dis
tr" ating to the state highway sys
tems. "I found that a number of state In
stitutions already had received mater
ial from the war department through
this bureau." he said. "Apparently

He Lived His College Days Over Again
A l i fli
J ill
The cool spring wind blew refresh
ingly on the young fellow who stood
out on the apartment balcony lookins
up at the stars that dotted the sky.
He thought of another spring, not so
far distant, when he sat upon the
steps of the Law College with a group
of good fellows from the old College
gathered together, singing the songs
that were dear to every heart.
Things were breaking badly for
"Dob" Brooke. Somehow he coull
not get over the homesick feeling. He
was in a large city away from home
and friends with strange faces on all
sides, jobs few and far between.
Discouragement that feeling which
stafks when the lights are low, had
gripped him and he was about ready
to give up. In other words, he hart
lost his grip when the thought
dawned upon him that he would like
to live through some of those good
old days again and spend an evening
thinking of the good old days. Open
ing his grip he took out a copy of his
1923 Cornhusker and turned its pages
until he came to the Athletic sectior,
where there was a picture of Weller
in his fighting togs Captain Hart
leythe star halfbackfl Pave Noble
and many others all fighters, and
here he was afraid to fight out his
own pioblems.
OR. WALLACE 15 HURT
IN FIRE TRUCK CRASH
Former Nebraska Professor
English Is Seriously In
jured in Accident.
of
Dr. Charles William Wallace of
Wichita Falls, Tex., a former profer
sor of Enflish Literature in the Uni
versity of Nebraska, was seriously
injured Tuesday when he was struck
by a fire truck on its way to a fire
in Wichita Falls. He was taken to a
hospital where it was stated that his
'njuries are of a serious nature.
Professor Wallace and his wife
turned from their able work in liter
ature to the Texas oil fields in order
to accumulate funds for the American
Foundation of Pesoarch The study
of early English Literature, particu
larly the works of William Shake
speare, is the object of the foundation
which has already become so firmly
f published that it seems certain ot
becoming a well-known institution.
Mr. Wallace first came to Lincoln
with the Western Normal college.
Later he became connected with th
University and took up the study of
Shakespeare. His wife was interested
in the same work and was well
equipped to help him. Later Mr. and
Mrs. Walace examined Shakespearr
documents found in London, and until
the war ended their efforts they had
examined approximately five million
original records.
Mr. Walace then turned to the oil
fields In Texas to get money to carry
on his studies. First he was in part
nership with Samuel J. Bell and made
a small fortune, and more recently
he and his wife have been going on
with the work, undergoing all the
hardships and privations connected
with life In the oil fields.
Since the capitulation of Germany,
the British government is exemplify
ing the tranquility for which Mr.
Bonar Law declared upon bis advent
to the premiership.
LINCOLN, NEIiUASKA, WEDNESDAY, JANUAKY, 10, 1923.
Five years have rolled by and 'Bob'
Brooke is now an executive in a large
corporation. Had he gone back h
would probably have been one of the
many misfits that give up too soon,
but something saved him that night.
You inow what it was. Laugh if
you Will but is was his Cornhusker
that urged him not to give up.

in producing the very finest books
for the largest Universities and Col

Th,e Cornhusker wil visualize in a

SEAVEY EXPLAINS
DOMINANT POWER
OF LAWIN U, S.
Dean of College of Law Traces
Development of Law in
England and
America.
LAW ASSURES EQUALITY
Supremacy of Law Depends on
Knowledge and Integ
rity of Judic
iary. Using "The Supremacy of the Law"
as his subject. Dean Wan-en A. Sea
vey, of the College of Law, traced the
development of the American legal
svstem and pointed out its distinguish
ing characteristics, in a lecture to the
freshmen of the College of Arts and
Sciences Monday evening and Tues
day morning.
Dean Seavey began his lecture
by po'ntin out t,lat a" Ameri
cans feel that the United States is a
better country to live in than most
other countries. The dean affirmed
that this superiority was not due to
environment, not due to large terri
torial area, or to natural resources.
'Itis largely due to the character
of our original settlers and the type
of government they established here,"
he said. The dean went on to point
out that America has been very free
of internal disorders as compared to
other nations. This is net due to the
fact that this country is a democracy,
because other democracies, such as
France and Italy have suffered and
are suffering from internal disorders.
This condition is explained by the
fact that her government consists of
supremacy of the law, and there is
no one in the country who is superior
to the law.
"Obedience to law is a characteristic
of the Anglo-Saxon form of govern
ment," declared Per.n Seavey.
Dean Seavey then traced the de
velopment of the present legal system,
explaining that it began in England.
At first the English king was both
lawmaker and judge. In England and
ar.iong other Germanic peoples, the
king soon lost his prerogative of act
ing as judge. By the time of the Nor
man conquest in England, a complete
system of king's courts had developed.
The judges were appointed by the
king but after appointment they
were independent of the king. King
James I of England was the first Eng
lish king who attempted to assert his
right to rule by divine right in oppo
sition to the courts. It was vVTn
James was arguing this question with
rwf .Tn t ire Coke, that Coke made
the famous declaration that "the king
rules, subject to God and the law."
In England the idea of every man
having some essential riphts and of
being equnl, in the eyes of the law,
to any other man, were also developed.
The men that settled this coun
try brought with them their Eng
lish institutions and when the con
stitution was written, embodied many
of these institutions in it- Dean Sea
vey characterized the constitution as
"the greatest monument tothe govern
mental genius of man that was ever
created," and declaimed that it "com
bined more elements of human liberty
than had ever before been brought to
gether in written form.
Dean Seavey then pointed out the
differences between our legal system
and those of European countries. The
first great difference is that we have
a written constitution which stand
above all governmental bodies and of
ficials. This constitution protects us
from the tyranny of temporary ma
jorities. This fact is not true of many
of the governments of continental
Europe where the constitution is con
sidered only as guide which may be
disregarded when the legislative
branch of the government sees fit.
Another characteristic of our sys
tem, according to Dean Seavey is the
fact that every one in this country is
equal in the eyes of the law. There
is no one in this country who can
not be arrested and tried in the ordin
ary c'v' or criminal courts. The dean
proved that this is not true of Euro
pean countries by pointing out that
in France if a high governmental of
ficial should injure a civilian he could
not be tried in the ordinary courts of
France but would be tried before a
special court.
Dean Seavey also described certain
provisions of our laws which protect
the essential rights of men. Free
dom of speech, of press and religion
are three of these rights which the
law safeguards in this country'. The
right to a writ of habeas, or the right
to have a court determine whether
or not one has been justly imprisoned
is another nght which is essentially
Anglo-Saxon in character. The right
to be free from arrest and searcn
without a warrant is also a ricbt guar
anteed to the individual by the Unitea
States' laws. The right to an impar
tial, public trial before a jury enables
persons accused f crime to have a
chance to prove themselves innocent

fraternity is to be Pi Epsilon Pi, the
initials of which spell PEP, although
each chapter, which is limited to from
15 to -I'l men. is to keep its own chap

No permanent grand officers were
elected, althoueh L. E. Bredberg. del-
i ecate of the Kansas Ku Ku Klub, was
elected temporary grand secretary to
carry on the work of organization un
til the nermanent officers can be
elected, which will be in a few weeks.
The election of Bredberg comes as a
reeocnition of his work in the starting
of the fraternity, the original move
ment being started hy him and car
ried on to its successful accomplish
ment. "The effect of this organization is
going to be a better spirit of friend

various universities, especially dur

Bredberg stated. "While the organl
