FLING PAYS TRIBUTE
TO W00DR0W WILSON
Tells of Work at Paris in Mak
ing League of Nations.
Possible.
Dr. F. M. 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

Sixteen Former Y.
Members Now Foreign Missionaries
Sixteen women who have served on
the cabinet of the University Y. W.
C. A. since 1908 have gone to foreign
countries as missionaries. In China,
they have gone to Shanghai, Nan
kin and Pekin. In India they have
gone to Calcutta, Burma and Luck-
now. Some have started missions in
South America and Poland.
Comolvine with a request sent out
by the National Y. W. C. A. cabinet,
the Freshman Commission has re
cently made a list of women gradu
ates of Nebraska who were active in
rplicious work while in the Univer
sity and who have carried it on after
graduation.
"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

THIRD ROUND OF
TOURNEYSTARTS
Delta Upsilon and Sigma Phi
Epsilon Are Victorious
Wednesday.
WILL PLAY NO MORE
GAMES UNTIL FRIDAY
Delta , Upsilon beat Delta Chi 22
to 4, and Sigma Phi Epsilon beat
Phi Delta Chi, 23 to 11, in the first
half of the third round of the inter
fraternity basketball tournament yes
terday afternoon.
On account of varsity practice in
the Armory this afternoon, no games
will be played until Friday. At that
time Delta Tau Delta will play
Alpha Sigma Phi and Kappa Sigma
will meet Phi Alpha Delta.
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.

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. APPOINT WOMEN TO

ELECTION DATE SS
SET FORFEBR. 1 9
Will Select Class Presidents
and Publication Board
Members.
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.
