For Social Work
The New York School of Social
Work is offering fellowships for
the study of social work to twelve
men and women in the colleges and
universities of the United States, ac
cording to an announcement made
public by the director of the school.

each are open to graduating stu
dents and provide for a year of study
in New York. Under the plan an
nounced, the fellowships will be
granted on the basis of competitive
examinations, the last date for tiling
applications for entrance is April 19.
Surprise was expressed that ten
of the fellowships had been reserved
exclusively for college men in the
junior and senior classes. These are
for $155 each and are planned to
cover necessary tuition and living
expenses while the holder of the
scholarship is attending the summer
session of 1924. All applications
should be addressed to Mr. Lee at
105 East 22d Street, New York.
"In offering these ten fellowships
to college men," said Mr. Lee in
giving out the statement, "The New
York School of Social Work wishes
to give students who have completed
their junior year an opportunity to
attend a summer session in New
York, for the purpose of introduc
ing, them to the field of social work
as a possible profession. These
awards will be made according to
the qualifications of the applicants,
and May 10 has been set as the last
application date for them."

New Tax Plan Allows for Three
Separate Ticket Sale Campaigns
Since the Student Council first
suggested a single tax plan for the
University of Nebraska campus opin
ions have changed from day to day.
Following the announcement of the
first plan several days ago, when
students generally expressed their
disapproval of the single tax, various
suggestions have been made for im
provement until the late plan pro
vides for three drives each year. This
involves three separate campaigns,
one for athletics, ne for activities
and a third for charities.
The present system is planned to
enable students to save money and
to reduce the number of drives on
the campus besides making it possible
for the individual to purchase any or
all of the three tickets offered. It
is thought that the various objections
which have arisen against the first
plan would be outcast since the indi
vidual would not be compelled to buy
all of the tickets, allowing those par
G. 0. P. TO PRESENT
ISSUES TO STUDENTS
Will Send Prominent Speakers
to Colleges Throughout
Country.
Thousands of college and univer
sity students throughout the coun
try will hear leading national issues
discussed by prominent speakers dur
ing the coming months, under the
auspices of college Republican clubs
organized by the college bureau of
the republican national committee.
Speakers are now to be provided
for every college republican club, if
possible, according to the college bu
reau. In, addition, each club .will
have the hearty support of its re
publican alumni, several of whom
will address meetings in the course
of the year. These speakers will not
only promote the intelligent discus
sion of important political questions,
but will also direct the students' at
tention to the fundamental princi
ples of the republican party.
So far this year the Nebraska Re
publican club has brought two ex
cellent speakers to this city. Sena
tor Hiram Johnson spoke to the
students several weeks ago on his
candidacy for the presidency and
general political questions. Adam
McMullen, a graduate of the Uni
versity of Nebraska and republican
candidate for governor, speaks at
a special convocation in the Temple
at 11 o'clock this morning.
STUDENTS TO JUDGE
LIVESTOCK SATURDAY
Block and Bridal Club Will
Sponsor Ag College
Contest.
The annual students judging con
test will be held Saturday, March
22, at the Judging Pavilion on the
Agricultural College campus. The
contest will begin at 8 o'clock in the
morning and will last the greater
part of the day. It is sponsored di
rectly by. Block and Bridle and is in
charge of the student members of
the club.
Professor Scheer of the Iowa State
College at Ames will give the official
placings and judge the reasons. Pro
fessor Scheer has a high reputation
as official judge at various contests
over the country.
Ribbons will be awarded the high
men in the contest, as well as the
winners in the different classes of
stock to be judged. Ten classes of
stock, nearly all of them purebreds
owned by the allege will be in the
contest. All classes will be placed
and reasons will be given on eight
of them in the afternoon.
All men majoring in animal hus
bandry, except men on the senior
judging team, are eligible to enter
Sophomores now taking animal hus
bandry work will be allowed to judge
while six freshmen and four School
of Agriculture men will be picked
to enter. Registration for the con
test may be made until 5 o'clock this
evening with Wilbur Shainholz. or
at the animal husbandry office. An

charged.
ticipating in the various activities to
purchase only the tickets outside their
individual line.
Activity tickets would be sold ad
mitting the holder to athletic contests
while the athlete would purchase only
the ticket including the publications
and charity drives. The plan now
provides for the sale of athletic tick
ets such as are now sold which would
admit only to athletic events. A
ticket would be sold for about $6 that
would include all publications, Glee
club and Debate and such other mis
cellaneous activities while a third
drive would be conducted for all
charities.
The Student Counc'r nas decided to
let the tax question rest the next
few days so students will have time
to 'consider which of the plans in
troduced is most suitable. It is hoped
that students will express their opin
ions freely so that the entire student
body may consider the plans pre
sented. Geology Seminar
' To Hold Banquet
The semi-monthly meeting of the
geology seminar will be held Thurs
day evening, March 20, at th-3 Grand

ner, student o fthe geology depart
ment. Mr. Garner has worked in

Hills. Mr. Nedom will be in charge

DR. TSU PREDICTS
NEW ERA OF PEACE
Says China Will Be Prom
inent in Move for
Friendliness.
"The Mediterranean era is past,
the Atlantic era is here, will not the
Pacific era be the next and the great
est!" asked Dr. Y. Y. Tsu at the
World Forum luncheon yesterday. Dr.
Tsu's topic was "The New Pacific
Era" and the address covered not
only Asia's present attitude toward
the west but her' future position in
the world.
The new era that he predicted is
to be a period of world peace ind
friendliness. The civilizations cen
tering around other great bodies of
water have been torn with wars but
the new civilization which will arise
around the Pacific will be one with
the ideal of peace as the name "Pa
cific" implies.
The lecturer predicted that China
will be a literate nation in ten years.
While an educated Chinaman must
know 50,000 charactrs of his lan
guage, only 1,000 characters are
needed for every day reading and
writing. A system of mass educa
tion is now being carried out in
China which teaches the people these
1,000 characters in a period of a
little more than two months.
Asia no longer looks to the west
in order to copy the latter's civiliza
tion, the doctor declared. She now
questions that the west has much of
value to offer. Nevertheless she
holds her friendship with America
in very high esteem.
An undercurrent of humor ran
through the address. In telling of
the difference between American
and Chinese customs, Dr. Tsu cited
the example of handshaking. A China
man meets and greets him by shaking
hands with himself instead of with
his friend as we do in this country.
The explanation, according to the
doctor, is that an American shakes
hands with his friend in order to con
gratulate the latter on the honor of
meeting with himself; the Chinaman
shakes hands with himself to show
that he congratulates himself on the
honor of meeting his friend.
Dr. Tsu will return to his profes
sorship at St. Johns College at Shang
hai, China, this summer. He has
been lecturing in this country for
two years under the sponsorship of
the Chinese Christian Federation.
MICHIGAN Stephen Leacock,
noted Canadian satirist and critic,
believes co-education is all wrong.
He said so while on the campus for
a lecture. He thinks that girls do not
speak freely in mixed classes and
gain most of the knowledge by ab
sorption. '"
