DEFEATS tURnnuaALRa
The Universities of South Dakota
,nd Mississippi were defeated by the
Husker riflemen last week according
to reports received yesterday from
these schools Nebraska made 3651
in the week, scoring 70 points ahead
of South Dakota and 40 points ahead
of Mississippi. North Carolina uni
versity beat the Nebraska mark 70
points. Mississippi fired in two posi
tions only, contrary to the contrast
which called for four positions. The
Nebraska score in these positions was
40 points higher.
Dale Skinner with a score of 382
out of a possible 400 was high man
for the week. Donald Roberts fol
lowed with 376.
The results from North Carolina
were unusual in that all ten men
made scores about the same. The
high man made 375, and the low 369
range of six points for ten men.
The Nebraska scores ranged about
thirty points.
Get Result From Pennsylvania.
The results from a match held two
weeks ago with Pennsylvania Mili
tary Institute were received yester
day in the gallery.
Nebraska won by a good margin.
About twenty advanced course ca
dets are firing the pistol in the gal
lery in preparation for formal pistol
practice which will start as soon as
the weather will permit. Captain
Aggers says that there are some good
shots among those firing and predicts
a good team.
An outdoor pistol range near Lin-(
coin will be secured as soon as out
door practice begins. If there is dif
ficulty in obtaining a course near
Lincoln, the rifle range at Bennett
will probably be adapted for pistol
(hooting.
Nebraska has already signed for
pistol meets with West Point, and
Pomona college in California, and
will challenge Missouri.
There are several new gallery pis
tols as part of the regular equipment
in addition to the 45 calibre automa
tics which will be useu In firing the
matches outdoors. Advanced course
students are eligible for the team.
CHABRETOU'S WORKS
REACH ART GALLERY
French Artist's Paintings to Be
on Exhibit in Library
Until Mid-March.
A collection of painting by Victor
Charreton, one of the greatest of
French artists, has been received by
the School of. Fine Arts and are to
je placed on exhibition in the library
in connection with the art exhibit
sponsored by the fine arts depart
ment. The Charreton collection will
remain until the middle of March,
hen it will be returned to the Du
densing gallery of New York.
The Charreton pictures comprise
the largest representation of any one
wtist in the exhibit. Charreton has
transmitted to his works the indi
vidualism which marks him as a man.
He s an impressionist, but. with a
style of impressionism that is pe
culiarly his own. He follows no
nool as a model; he has too rich a
tyle of his own to need to borrow
from any man.
Charreton paints landscapes al
"joet exclusively, and the pictures in
the collection are all French land
wapes. The artist uses unmixed colors-

Council Suggests Sample Point System
A sample point system, which classifies major and minor activities, has
been drawn up by the Student Council. A special referendum on 'such a
point system has been called by the Council for next Tuesday at the. general
election for the second semester. "
If the majority of the students are in favor of the limitation of activi
ties, the Council will act accordingly and outline a system which will be
presented at a later election. t The point system has been introduced suc
cessfully in many of the larger colleges and institutions of the country.
In the sample system outlined the activities have been restricted so
that in any one year one student may hold but one major and one minor
office and in his four years of school life he may hold no more than two
major offices and three minor ones. The following classification is sug
gested for illustration:

PROFESSOR WILLIAMS
DESCRIBES SOCIETY
Speaks on "Preservation and
Improvement of the Social
Order."
"Society is a living thing. It has
the same characteristics, and it func
tions as a living thing does," Profes
sor Hattie Plum Williams of the de
partment of sociology told the fresh
man of the college of Arts and sci
ences, Monday evening and Tuesday
morning. The subject of her lecture
was "Preservation and Improvement
of the Social Order."
The eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries composed an area of bio
logical science in which man gained
control of his physical environment,
Professor Williams said.' The twen
tieth century will see development
in a scientific way the same control
over human life that man has over
plant and animal life.
Mr. Williams compared primitive
man with the man of today, point
ing out that in both cases there were
two elemental characteristics, the in
stinct of self preservation, and the de
sire to improve. The instinct of pre
servation is always the strongest, but
as the needs of life were satisfied
there came the urge to secure more
and better things than were neces
sary.
Habit,, instinct, and reasoning are
strong factors in self preservation
she explained. Weak animals such as
man combine as a means of saving
their specie from extermination.
Society may improve or retrograde,
or it may enter a period of inertia.
Improvement may be measured
through increase in size, wealth, du
or morality, Professor Williams
pointed out.
In primitive time the instinct for
personal revenge was dominant. As
society improved the Mate or ruler
and not the individual avenged a
wrong. However the motive was still
revenge, according to Professor Wil
liams. t
Today courts and judges with spe
cial sets of rules or laws decide the
extent of a wrong and its penalty.
The purpose of such laws and court
procedure is to prevent crime rather
than to avenge it, declared the speak
er. Dr. E. H. Barbour addressed the
University Club Monday evening by
request on the subject, "The Fossils
of the State."
FLING PRAISES WILSON
IN MEMORIAL ADDRESS
Declares That He Dies a Mar
tyr to Cause of World
Organization.
' i
"Woodrow Wilson died a martyr to
the cause of world organization and
world peace. In history he will stand
beside the figure of Washington, who
created a nation, and that of Lincoln,
who saved a nation."
In these words Dr. Fred Morrow
Fling, historian of the peace confer
ence and acquaintance of the late ex
presidentl expressed something of the
greatness of Woodrow Wilson as he
spoke at j the memorial Vesper ser
vices in Allien Smith hall at 5 o'clock
last nighft
"Not Inly was Wilson a. great
American but he was a great figure
in world tristory" declared Dr. Fling.
"The wbile earth will become the
sepulchres of Woodrow Wilson. Not
only will lie be commemorated by the
columns and inscriptions in his own
country, but in foreign lands, also,
shall dwell an unwritten memorial of
him, graten, not of stone, but in the
hearts of; men." These words writ
ten by a distinguished Frenchman
were quoted by Dr. Fling as an idea
of what other countries think of the
man who' once occupied a position in
the limelight of the world.
Tells of League.
Dr. Fling spoke of the league of
nations which came into existence
through the activities of Mr. Wilson.
He related how this war president
worked unceasingly for the league
after his return from Europe where
he was acclaimed as a savior, and
how he finally gave his life for the
cause.
"Because America has not yet en
tered the league, many people get
the idea that it was only an idea and
hot a reality at all," said Dr. Flir.g.
"This is a mistake. It is almost in-
jevitable that we will some day enter
into such a world organization.' Wil
son did not live to see his country ac
cept his plan for world organization,
but he did live to see a league of na
tions entered into by other nations.
He also lived to see the creation of
a world court with an American as
one of the judges."
The memorial services began with
Chopin's Funeral March, played by
Elda Jedlicka, and followed by the
singing of the hymn "The Day Is
Dying in th? West" and reading from
the burial service of the scriptures.
Prof. Laurence Fossler lead in medi
tation, reading from Ecclesiastics.
After Dr. Fling's address the choir
sang "O Paradise." Miss Emma
Beekmann presided at the services.

Annual Stunt Night
night programs.
A student committee under di
rection of the University Y. M. C .A.
has charge of the program. Campus
organizations present skits which por
tray campus lif? as it is today. The
character of the entertainment
changes from year to year as the stu
dent life on the campus changes, and
a review of University night pro
grams of the past would reveal to a
striking degree the customs and cam.
pus life of the students.
In the early years University night
was staged at the old Oliver theater,
and later at Lincon high school. Last
year the Orpheum and the Temple
were used, and. the program was
given the same evening at both
places. The attendance has in
creased so greatly that this year the
committee secured the city auditor
ium to accommodate the entire stu
dent body."
Tickets for University night, sched
uled for Saturday February 23, at
the city auditorium, will go on sale
tomorrow morning at 11:45 on the
first floor of the Temple building.
The price is fifty cents. A limit of
six tickets to each individual has been
set by the committee no that every
student will have a chance to buy
a ticket.
Reservations may be made by
faculty members Wednesday after
noon in the office of Mr. McCaffree,
University Y. M. C. A. secretary, in
the Temple building. Each faculty
member may reserve four tickets.
A block of 150 seats has been reser
ved for faculty members. The busi
ness manager announces that only in
structors and professors in the Uni
versity may take advantage of this
privilege, which is not extended to
readers or assistants. No seats will
be held for the faculty after the stu
dent ticket sale Thursday, and facul
ty members are urged to make their
reservations early.
Will Use Auditorium.
The city auditorium has been se
cured by the committee for the pro
duction, because of the inability to
handle the large crowd in other
places in previous years. A total of
2045 tickets will be sold. This num
ber will fill the auditorium. All
seats will be reserved so that early
buyers will obtain the best seats. Two
ticket sellers will be on duty to han
dle the sale.
"People should buy their tickets
early," said Harold Edgerton, busi
ness manager, yesterday. Only 2045
tickets will be sold and they will go
fast. I expect that few tickets will be
left Thursday evening."
The entire program will contain
about ten acts. The curtain will go
up promptly at 8 :30 and the program
will probably last until 11 o'clock.
Seven skits have already been accept
ed by the committee and several
others have been handed back to
organizations for revision and im
provement. Name Skits Selected.
Skits will be presented by the Mili
tary department, engineering stu
dents, Palladian Literary Society,
Glee Club, Business Administration
students, Corncobs. A curtain act
will be given by Bill Wright who
appeared on the program last year.
Several curtain skits will be chosen
at a meeting of the committee which
will be held today in Ellen Smith
hall to make the final selection.
Rehearsals will probaMy start to
morrow evening.
"Students who do not think this
years program will be as good as in
previous years because of the ab
sence of The Shun will be mistaken,"
stated Welch Pogue, general chair
man," A special attempt has been
made to select some clever and origi
nal skits. This year's program will
equal any previous production."
Condra Will Give Radio
Lecture on "Nebraska"
Dr. G. E. Condra, of the conserva
tion and survey division of the Uni
versity, will lecture on "Nebraska,"
from station KDKX, of the Westing
house Radio company broadcasting
