Fhe Daily Nebraskan VoTrXXH-NO. 81 LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1923. FRESHMEN LEARN WHAT SOCIALISM IS BASED UPON Dean Le Rossignol of Business Administration College Ad dresses Lecture Groups. , GhES DIFFERENT VIEWS Outlines Thins of a Socialistic State as Conceived by Members of Tarty. Socialism" was the subject of a lecture given to the freshmen of the College of Arts and Sciences Monday ait. liioon and Tuesday morning by Dean J. E. Le Rossignol of the Col lepe of Business Administration. The (Iran explained the chief characteris tics of socialism and pointed out the various ways by which the socialists intend t bring about a socialistic society- The four characteristics of socialism as outlined by Dean Lc Ilossignol are: It is an attack upon the present social onU it is a theory of social evolu tion, it is a plan for a new social ord. r. and it is a propaganda of mis sionary enterprise. In taking up the first characteristic. IVan 1-e Rossignol pointed out that all socialists attack the present eco nomic system because it is founded on private business carried on for in dividual gain, private property devel oped from private gain, and the so cialist believes that private property is Hie source of most of our perplex ing evils. Many socialists believe that our primitive ancestors lived in a so ciety in which there was no private property, and thi.t it was the introduc tion of private property into this so ciety which led to many of our present evils. Trof. I.e Rossignol showed the weakness of the socialistic argument lobe that it ignores the fact that there might be just as many evils under a socialistic regime as there are under our present system. He also made it plain that the socialists do not propose a practical, constructive social organ ization to replace our present capital istic system, which despite its evils, feeds, clothes and provides shelter for millions of people every day. According to Kark Marx, the dean explained, there has always been two classes in society, the exploited and the exploiter. . Constant struggle be tween these two classes has brcught about the changes in our industrial system. To begin with, there was the condition of slavery, in which ceitain men owned other men and contrclled their labor and their lives. As a re sult of the social struggle, this con dition gave way to serfdom, in which the serf kept his land in return for giving his lord certain services and payments. This was replaced by the system of wage slavery, in which Ite employers paid money wages to their laborers. According to the Marxian theory, this system will gradually give way to one founded on socialism. Dean Le Rossignol then outlined the various plans of a socialistic state as conceived by socialists of different schools of thought. The state social ists plan to have the government con trol all means of production and to divide the profits. Syndicalism is a plan under which the labor unions will control all industry. Under this plan, the government at Washington would be merely a collection of the repre sentatives of different unions, and would be purely industrial. The guild socialists would have one branch of the national legislative body com' posed of labor union representatives and, thse other house made up of rep resentatives selected by the people.

"This is the more important because the members of tho tours will be granted unusual courtesies by the governments and universities of the countries which they visit." Tour to (Ireat Britain, France, Italy and the Scandinavian countries are oil'ered to all students, graduates and Instructors of American colleges and universities. On June 30, ls23, on the S. S. Saxonia of the Cunard line, the Students' Tour will sail from New York. They will return on the same vessel from Cherbourg, due in New York on September 4. Established to euaDie college stu dents and instructors to travel in for eign countries at minimum cost, under scholarly guidance, and under digni fied auspices, the prices are strikingly low, Mr. Smith state. An extension of the tours to Eng land and Scotland has recently been added for the convenience of those who wish to make their stay In Europe two weeks longer. The itinerary pro vides for a few days in London with an alternative trip to the south of Eng land for members of theArt Students' Tour, who will already have visited London, and for visits to Oxford, the Shakespeare country, Edinbudgs and the Trossachs, and the English lakes. This extension will commence on August 24 and will end September 7 with the sailing of the S. S. Mont calm from Liverpool. Applications, for this trip should be in early because of the difficulty of obtaining adequate accommodations on the Montcalm.

UNIVERSITY NIGHT PROGRAM TO BE BEST EVER GIVEN Annual Production Will Be Given at the Orpheum Theater Saturday Febru ary 17. TICKETS OxN SALE SOON Variety of Skits Will He Offered Students "Evening Shun" Will Feature Again. With I'niversiiy Night less than three weeks away, the committee in charge Is holding regular meetings to perfect plans for the best program that has ever been offered the student body. The r.kits handed in thus far are novel in every way and premise a variety of entertainment that has never been equalled in the in the his tory of diversity Night. Chairman Kile;- would like to havo a few more short cumin skits handed in before Thursday, which has been the final date set lor the selection of these skits that will appear on the program. A new Idoa is to be inaug urated with the 102;! University Night In having several members of the fac uHy appear in a short skit. Theta Sigma Phi and Sigma Delta Chi prom ise the students something now in the lino- of a short playlet. The Ag College lias already handed in their contribution as well ns both the Union and Palladian Liters-y So cieties. Several black face curtain acts are being considered and there are an unusual amount of musical numbeis to be selected from. The Laws have promised a skit that will surpass any previous production at tempted by the dramatic talent of that coMege. A skit that will offset the slams handed out by the Law College is expected from the pens of the more prominent Bi't'.d writers. The Oipheunt theater has been def initely secured for Saturday night, February 17, and the date that tickets will go on sc.le will be announced in The Daily Nebraskan the latter part of the week. Last but not least, Sigma Delta Chi will present the "Evening Shun" popularly known as the Uni versity E-varlet Sheet. A sialT of ex. ; e-rt editorial writers is all ready at work on the little paper and it is ex pected that by the time the paper goes to press it will be "burning up" with scandal. University Night has been a tradi tion at Nebraska for thirteen years and is looked forward to by the upper classmen of the University with a great amount of interest. This year the committee has attempted to make everything competitive in selecting the best skits and in this manner only the best will be placed on the program. A large staff of decorators are all ready working on some special scenery that will be used in one of the feature acts of the program. The Engineering College has always held a prominent place on the program with their feats of mysticism and they are expected to repeat their usual per formance with even a greater array of material. I'niversity Night is always a closed night on the school calendar and there will be a large enough seating capacity to take care of the great thirst of the students for tickets. Last year the tickets were sold out in one day and many did not get to attend the pro duction on account of the lack of seat ing capacity of the high school audi torium but Chairman Eller has made arrangements to take care of that dif ficulty this year. The tickets will be sold as usual at the Y. M. C. A. offices In the Temple with William Alstadt In charge. Miss Grace Abbott, a former Ne braskan and member of the class of 1906, has been appointed a director In the recently formed American Child Health Association.
