These men are not coming here with
the idea of reforming this country,
nor will they try to force any theories
on their fellow students. They come
to America fresh from their home
hinds and will be able to give to
American students their viewpoints of
piobleuis which must be solvetd.
Who They Are
Hans Tiesler comes from Germany
where the student movement looms
largest, perhaps on account of that
country's position during the war
but on account of the events which
have shaped themselves since the
war. The German youth movement Is
a spirit, it cannot be described in
words, and can only be characterized
by telling its results. The two gjeat
ideals on which this movement is
founded are national love of country
and brotherly love of men, and Its
unit is the group, living the ideal life
away from and outside the existing
turmoil.
Piet Roest's country, Holland, was
hardly touched by the war, yet it dis
plays and produces a considerable
amount of young thought of a renais
sance character. Its essential char
acteristic is emphasis on the practical
rather than on the ' theoreltical and
theological aide of life.
Denmark, which Is represented by
Jorgen Hoick, has on university set
tlement movement, located in Copen
hagen. Air. Hoick has spent much
time 1n the university settlement
where students pass on their instruc
tions to workers who are unable to
attend university. Here, also, are
groups of business men, students, and
worpers who discuss their mutual
problems.
Ever sinoe the close of the war
there have been coming back to us
rumors and vague descriptions of a
new activity, an awakening of the
youth of all the countries of the old
world. New tales of students' activity
In political and national affairs come
from these European countries where
the social orders are in a more or less
state of turmoil. Most outstanding
of all has been the movement In Ger
many, where it has taken on enough
significance to become a factor in the
political situation of the country.
These foreign students will merely
try to give the views and opinions of
young men. Every year several oppor
tunities are offered to hear mature
views on subjects affecting the eco
nomic situation in foreign countries,
but this is the first opportunity Ne
braska students will have to hear from
fellow students.

Trn p-pularity of skiing is in

cludes noted professors.
Professor Felix Weill, general sec
retary of the Federation de l'Alliance
Francaise, has notified the branches
of the alliance that a group of Amer
lean college students and instructors
is being organized to travel in France
next summer under the joint auspices
of the federation and the National In

The purpose of the undertaking Is
to enable college students to travel in
France at the lowest possible cost
and under scholarly instruction, di
rected towards a broad and sympa
thetic understanding of the histo.-y.
traditions, ideals, and arts of the
French people. The 'faculty' will in

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA,
Blonde Robbing Fraternity Houses
Has Been Discovered and Sent Home
The blone, who has been robbing
fraternity houses, has been identified
and has left school. She was proved
to be the girl who was seen in the
library last Frldty. Sunday she left
for home on the plea of sickness.
She lives in a small Nebraska town
where her father runs a large mer
cantile establishment. The affair
never came before the University au
thorities, it was settled outside. Most
of the goods that were stolen havt
been returned and anyone who comes
to the "Rag" office will receive in
formation as to where he can get
back his things, providing he will
swear on his honr that he really had
something stolen by the mysterious
woman, and is not just trying to fiuo
out her identity.
We hope our readers see the dif
ficulty we are in, concerning thla
case. We have run across the big
gest piece of news possible to get.
We have been trying to run down
the case for days. And now that the
girl has been found, we fear that we
cannot make her identity known. We
cannot give her name for two rea
sons. The first is policy. She has

Extra! Extra! The Evening Shun
is Coming! Editors Want Scandal
The Evening Shun has always
played an important part in the Uni
versity Night program in previous
years, and is scheduled to make its
regular appearance Saturday night,
February 17. Sigma Delta Chi is
again sponsoring the University
Scandal Sheet, but an entirely dif
ferent plan is going to be used in
putting out the paper than in other
years. (
The material for the paper will be
taken entirely from contributions
that are turned In by students. A
locked box will be placed in the Li
brary in a convenient place in which
every one may drop their news. This
material will be put in shape for the
press by the editors.
Here is your chance to get even
with your friends and enemies. Yon

ity is one of the strongest, so us
gentlemen, we could not brand her an
a thief. Also, from an ethical point
of view we must remain silent. Wt
have seen the workings of a woman's
heart' and we would be going against
all standards of reliable journalism if
we were to make public our know
ledge. Nevertheless.-we are going tr
tell the story. It will prove to those,
who think that this is a pn aic
world, that adventure is not dead, and
that in real life there is as much
romance as in the most startling
novel.
We will be unable to tell tho com
plete story, but the theme will be
given. We will not even be able to
give the solution of the mystery und
how the girl was apprehended until
tomorrow. We wish the girl to have
at least two days leeway at home
before the story comes out. Above
all, she must be protected. It is the
wish of The Daily Nebraskan to givt
its readers all that it possibly can
and as much as is able to be pub

EIGEB LECTURES TO
FRESHMAN El
Professor Discusses Develop
ment of Water Power
in the U. S.
"One horse power means the em
ployment of one skilled workman. Ap
plications for water power plants rep
resenting an aggregate of 21,000,000
horse power were received by the na
tional water power commission last
year. So, the latent possibility of de
velopment in this direction is appar
ent," said Prof. M. I. Evinger of the
Department of Civil Engineering in
speaking to freshman engineers Mon
day at 5 o'clock in M. E. 206.
.- Th whole Pacific coast region, ana
perhaps the entire country will sorn
bo cohered with a network of ini'-:
connected power transmission lines;,
Prof. Evieger asserted. II-.' gave t'u
loiiov'ng reasons for the possibility
of such startling development in this
iold: increased efficiency of gener
ating units, lower costs of operation,
lower costs of building powvr a; a
tions, increased lengths of line and
greater differences of line potentials
increased loads carried by means of
interconnected stations.
"The larger projects in water
power development have been held
back in the past by navigation and
lnter-state interests," he pointed out.
"Since recent federal legislation es
tablished a water power commission
these projects have received an In,
petus. A short time ago 357 applica
tions for such projects had been re
ceived by the commission. Five mil
lion horse power of the twenty-one
represented by these requests were
applied for during the year 1322.
"Seventy per cent of the develop
ment in water power during the last
year was In California. Regions hav
ing a rought topography are, of course
natural centers for such plants. The
larger plants are in New England, in
the Appalachian range, in Minnesota
and Michigan, and In the Rocky
Mountain states."
Over 20,000,000 acres of the public
domain are yet to be reclaimed, of
ficials have said. Professor Evinger
state. A tract about a tenth as large
is at present under irrigation. It
will cost approximately two .billion
dollars "lo complete the work, he es
timated, and if the money supply ts
not increased considerably it willi
probably take about 200 years to con,
pletely reclaim all the useful Iana.
"The Catsklll aqueduct supply
water to New York City has ten times
the capacity of all the nine of ancient
Rome," Professor Evinger declared.
"At the dawn of history the flood
waters of the Nile were dammed up
forming the largest reservoir ever
built. The art of the hydraulic en
gineer is old but his science Is young.
Tiie science had its birthplace along
the rivers of Italy, but It was not
until about 200 years ago that men
began to make precise observations
and experiments. About 100 years
ago French engineers have developed
the mathematics of hydraulic to al
most the same point at which h
stands today. Since, there hr.s been
remarkable development iu the art.
Enormous structures have been erect
ed. ' But the science has lagged be
hind. The need of the present is
larger hydraulic laboratories. Many
engineers advocate a national hy
draulic laboratory."
ON REGULAR SCHEDULE
Judging from the type of playlets
that have been handed in at this
time, the students are to be pre
sented with a program this year that
will be unequalled in the annals of
University Night, say the members of
the committee. Ono of the biggest
features of the program will be a
minstrel show by the members of the
Corncobs. This is full of humor in
termingled with popular as well as
University songs.
The entire program will be made
up of about four or five short cur
tain acts of a very high calibre and
five of the best full stage acts will
be selected for the program. Chair
man Eller staled that the curtain
would go up promptly at 8:1 and
everything will be run off on sched
uled time. The entire show should
:ot Inst li'ter than 10:30.
Organizations which have already
handed in rh'ts which have passed
the censorship of the committee and
which are to be presented at tryouts
are the Ag:;, Laws, Thcta Sigma Phi,
Delia n I.Uernry Society, Cadet Offic
ers Club and Corncob. A number
of other skits are being considered
and announcements concerning them
will be made in a few days.
A large number of curtain acts
have been handed in and the com
mittee has been attempting to select
the best ones for tiie program. Mar
shall and Moore will present to tne
committee for acceptance a short
musical skit with clever take-offs on
some of the more important person
ages about the campus. Another
musical stunt will be a trio com
posed of Slaymaker, Tyler and Zim
merman who will perform on the
xylophone and piano respectively
with Joe Zimmerman offering a few
vocal selections.
Sigma Delta Chi has taken the re
sponsibility of publishing the "Eve
ning Shun" again this year and all
the choice scandal about the campus
will be portrayed in the little yellow
laper. The members of this organ
ization are appealing to the students
for contributions, so that it may be
a representative paper.
"The Shun" will not be issued until
after the performance and the price
will be five cents per copy. Last year
the capers were distributed free of
charge by the Y. M. C. A. but the
"Y" did not want to take over the
paper this year so the members of
the fraternity will sell it to the stu
dents. Open Forum to Debate
Bank Guarantee Law
"Resolved, That the State Bank
Guarantee Fund Law Be Repealed," is
the question that will be debated at
the first meeting of the open forum
discussion this semester on Wednes
day evening. Lyman B. Sorenson will
uphold the affirmative, and Frank
Watson will defend the negative. Leg
islator J. P. Pomerene of Omaha, who
drafted the present bill for modifying
the existing law, will attend the meet
ing, and explain his bill following the
debate. J. E. Hart, secretary of the
Department of Trade and Commerce,
has also promised to attend. The dis
cussion will last one hour, beginning
at seven o'clock. Everybody Interested
is invited to attend the meeting, which
will be held in Law 101.
At the FirM Baptist church, o
which Dr. P. L. Elmore is pastof, the
fifth of a series of lectures on great
cities and great religions will be given
Sunday evening. The subjecfof the
lecture is "The Modern City The
Future of Civilization."
