Fling, of the history de partment, spoke yesterday at the memorial services for Ex-president Woodrow Wilson held at St. Pauls church at 2 o'clock. The keynote of his address was a quotation from a great French man: "When great men have de scended into the tomb, where passions and private interests have vanished, then, when envy is silent, the voice of posterity makes itself heard. "Lying illustions disappear; vain clamours are no more; and if great talents and mighty virtues, perse cuted and distained, were more than once the torment of him that nature raised above other men in his inmost soul, he at least knew his own worth. "He divined the judgment of pos terity; and the tardy tribute of our veneration and our praise teaches those that emulation draws into the thorny road of true glory that they will find themselves one day in the ((Continued on Page 4) Sixteen Former Y.

"PprhaDS the ereatest woman Ne braska has ever produced is Grace Coppock," Miss Erma Appleby, sec rftnrv of the University Y. W. C. A. stated as she commented yesterday upon the missionaries Nebraska had out. "Miss Coppock was from Superior, Nebr., and she was grad uated in 1905. When she went w rhina there was no Y. W. C. A. or any representative of it. When she died all the larger cities ana some oi the smaller ones had Christian repre sentatives." v.r.

Only six teams are left in the tour nament, the four which play Friday, and yesterday's winners. The semi finals will be played Monday and the finals Wednesday. The first game, which the D U's won from the Delta Chis, was slow, especially in the first half, although the Delta Chis only scores came in this half. The D. U.'s divided up their scoring very evenly, making 11 points in each frame. Sig Ep Take Lead. At the end of the first half, the Sig Eps had piled up a score of 16 points, while the only score on the other side was made by Stuhr at the very end of the half. The score of this half is not a true indication of the game. It was hard fought but the Phi Delta Chis could not locate the basket. The Phi Delta Chis took a brace in the second half, but it was too late to overcome the 14 point lead of the Sig Eps. Smaha and George divided honors for high point man in the D. U.-Delta Chi game. Smaha played a stellar game in the first half, totaling 7 points, while George made his bas kets in the second frame. Mclntyre was high point man on the Sig Ep team. He made 7 points. His -lead was closely followed by Heckt and Pickett; who both played very good games. Stuhr, Phi Delta Chi forward, did the best work for the losers and made 5 points.

HO 1 1 GET rHC DRAGON'S HC-AD? DR. JASZI DESCRIBES PLIGHT OF HUNGARY Declares That Country Needs a Democratic Form of Government. That the introduction of some dem ocratic form of government which will break the feudal estates, restore the faith of the people and give to all classes a unity and organization which they lack utterly under the present bolshevistic regime, would be the best solution of the state of affairs in Hungary, is the opinion of Doctor Oscar Jaszi as expressed in his address on "Red and White Bol shevism," given at convocation in the Temple theater yesterday morning, The policy of the white bolshevists who hold away in Hungary now after having overthrown the red element, is to restore the Hapsburg dynasty, to go to war if necessary to keep the old boundaries, and to preserve tle estates of the feudal lords who ex ploit the lower classes. "Armed force has been substituted for na tional consciousness" asserted the speaker. Doctor Jaszi, who was a member of the cabinet of the first Hungarian republic, the overthrow of which by the red bolshevists resulted in his exile in 1919, believes that a confed eration of states modeled somewhat after the plan of the United States is what is needed in Hungary in order to restore peace and prosper ity.

WOMEN WILL VOTE ON POINT SYSTEM Second semester elections will be held Tuesday, February 19. Candi dates must file their nominations in the student activities office by Fri day noon,' February 15. The offices open for election are presidents of the four classes, three members of the student publication board, and the Ivy Day orator. Women students will have an opportunity to vote on the new point system of activities outlined last week by Mortarboard. The elections are in charge of the Student Council. The Student Council at its lat meeting granted permission for a special vote on the point system. The plan was outlined last week by Mor tarboard before the presidents of womens organizations, and has the approval of Dean Amanda Heppner. The system, if adopted, will limit to a certain number of points the activi-, ties each woman can take part in during college. Its supporters claim that it would result in more women taking part in activities, and would prevent a few from monopolizing most of the activities. To Elect Ivy Day Orator. The Ivy Day orator will be elected by members of the senior class. The class orator delivers the principle speech on Ivy Day following the cor onation of the May Queen. Last year this office was the one most sought for in the second semester election. Nine candidates filed for the honor. The senior, junior and sophomore classes of next year will each elect one member for the student publi cation board. The newly elected members do not take office until next year. They hold office the en tire year. The student publications board controls all student publica tions and membership on the board is of considerable importance. WORLD FORUM HEARS SPEECH BY COLLINS Says Civilization Will Fall Un less War Is Aband oned. "Many people may declare that plans to end war are all Utopian, but unless the thinking people of the na tions take a firm and definite stand against warfare under any circum stances, our civilization will fall as have past civilizations," declared George Collins, former machine gun officer, speaking before 200 students at the world forum luncheon at the Grand hotel yesterday noon. Mr. Collins stated that the only hope for the world lie3 in abandoning the old way of war and substituting a way of super-resistance, a spirit of fellowship and brotherhood as was taught by Christ. "The last war, which more than any previous war was supposedly a war for justice, failed completely in its purpose," he said. "It did not make the world safe for democracy as is evidenced by the fact that mice the war, power in European coun tries has- been constantly concen trated in the hands of a few indi viduals. It left nine million war or phans and fifteen million men died fighting. Worse than all, it left more causes than ever for future wars." When he attended the Internation al Conference of Reconciliation in Austria, Mr. Collins said that he found that people in other countries were thinking along the same lines and that the universal hope seemed to be to find some method of ban ishing war from the earth. Lefler Speaks to Phi Delta Kappa The Nebraska chapter of Phi Delta Kappa, honorary educational fratern ity, held a meeting latt night at the Grand hotel at 6 o'clock.
