A little negro boy in ragged

Students to Organize
Intercollegiate Camp
Students at Bryn Mawr, Dartmouth
Yale, Swarthmore and Northwestern
will co-operate next summer in
maintaining an intercollegiate camp
at Woodstock, New York, July 1 to
September 17. These students have
assumed joint management of the
camp with a committee of the Na
tional Student Forum which organ-
zed the enterprise last summer. One
hundred fifty students from colleges,
universities and labor schools are
expected to visit the camp during
the summer. Twenty-five scholar
ships are available to pay the ex
penses of labor delegates.
The camp will give students the
opportunity to meet $ome of the
leaders of American thought not
only in lectures and discussion but
in the frank and free comradeship
of the open air. A number of edu
cators, churchmen, business men, la
bor leaders and social workers will
visit the camp during the summer.
There will be five conference pe
riods of two weeks each, beginning
July 1, during each of which the
camp committee will be limited to
forty students. Each conference
will consider, with individual differ
ences, international, Industrial, ra
cial and educational questions. The
camp will be equipped with a small
theater and workshop in which stu
dents may on occasion present one-
act plays.

thorities of the zoology department
at Nebraska do not own a force-pump
of a kind suitable for feeding boa
constrictors, nor do they know where
they may borrow one. They are
making no hurried search for one,
however, for out in California, the
snakes are fed only once in six
months.
Men .who have lived in that state
say that the rich, luscious climate of
that country may supply consider
able nourishment. Perhaps this cli
matic food is absorbed thru the skin
in much the same way as Luis is sup
posed to have absorbed nourishment
from his milk baths.
However that may be, Luis is cer
tainly a more frisky and active snake
since his lacteal ablutions. Not that
he romps around in his cage, or skips
the rope, or anything of the sort, but
be has a contented gleam in his eye
a gleam that leads department
members t hope that, with a few
more milk baths and perhaps an olive
oil rub or two, Luis may be able to
hold out a few more months. By that
time they may have found a force-
pmmp.
SPEAKS ON THREE
VORLD PROBLEMS
Sherwood Eddy Discusses Pres
ent Industrial, Racial and
War Situations.
ST. PAUL CHURCH IS
CROWDED IN EVENING
Holding the crowd which packed
the St Paul church last night almost
spell-bound, Sherwood Eddy, noted
student and Y.M.C.A. worker, started
his series of lectures in earnest and
began an avalanche of thinking which
was evidenced by the questions asked
after the formal lecture.
Mr. Eddy scored the Ku Klux Klan
and predicted another war, saying
at the same time that propaganda is
the cause of all wars. His address
was on the three great problems of
the world today industry, race and
war. Before launching into his sub
ject he said, "I'm not trying to put
anything over on you. I'm not try
mg 10 suck anytmng down your
throat I'm just trying to stimulate
thought"
Telia of China.
After telling of the terrible condi
tions of child-labor in China, Mr,
Eddy said,' 'I came back to America
to find 3,000 strikes a year, more
than any other country. What's the
cause of this? First, labor is feeling
the unequal distribution of wealth;
second, the unemployment which is
sweeping the country third, the in
justice of our courts.
Four thousand people have been
lynched in the United States in the
last forty years, he stated. That is
an average of about two a week. He
scored the Ku Klux Klan severely,
saying, "111 cut my right hand off
before I make war against my broth'
er m this kingdom of Christ's.- What
is the difference whether he is white
or black, jew or gentile, protestant or
Catholic I know only; one brother
hood, one test My brother is he who
will do the will of God.
Denounce Klan.
"I have found negroes in some
of the southern states, in deadly fear
of the Ku Klux Klan, buying scores
of cheap revolvers. The Klan may
be doing some good things but
don't like it because of tbs secrecy
and the lack of democracy. The only
solution to the racial problem is
to get the habit of following Jesus."
"I am not a pacifist, but I believe
in an adequate police force for the
city, state, nation and between na
tions to protect and save lives, not
to kill and conquer. I have no ax
to grind for Germany or France. Tm
not pro-German or pro-French, but
I'm pro-human," said Mr. Eddy.
"If we had started paying $20,000
an hour at the birth of Christ, over
nineteen centuries ago, we should
not have the last war payed for yet
War is hell, and I believe it's wrong
because of the victimizing on both
sides by propaganda. If the real
truth were told there would be no
more war, he exclaimed.
STAGE FINAL TRYOUTS
FOR RELAYS SATURDAY
Coaches Will Choose Teams to
Go to Kansas on Stadium
Cinder Track.
Final tryouts for the Kansas re
lays will be held Saturday afternoon
on the new outdoor cinder track in
the stadium. There will be tryouts

track record in the 660-yard run yes
terday by covering the distance at
the fast pace of 1 :27. This will prob
ably end the record breaking for the
indoor track this season.

"DULCY" TO BE LAST
PRODUCTION OF YEAR
Few Tickets Left for Last Ap
pearance of University
Players.
A few seats for the evening per
formances of "Dulcy," the three-act
comedy to be presented by the Uni
versity Players tonight, Friday and
Saturday, are still available, accord
ing to the business manager. All
tickets for the Saturday matinee
were sold earlier in the week. Since
this is the last production of the
Players this year, advance ticket sales
have been very heavy.
Dulcy is a bride. Her eager de
termination to be of help to her
husband causes her to invite an ill
assorted group of people to her home
for a week-end party. The party
turns out to be a series of hilarious
tragedies. Her blunders all but
ruin a business deal of her husband's.
Her crowning mistake unexpectedly
brings success to her earnest but
misplaced efforts to help him.
The exquisite torture suffered by
the guests when she invites a rap
turous scenario writer to recite one
of his plots to the interpretive music
of a pianist who turns out to be in
sane furnishes much comedy.
The cast for the comedy is:
Dulcy Gertrude Moran.

ville Andrews.

Harold Felton.

MINE OFFICIAL SPEAKS
ON HANDLING WORKERS
A. H. Lichty Tells Students of
"The Human Factor in
Industry."
"The Human Factor in Industry"
was the subject of an address by
A. H. Lichty, vice president of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company,
yesterday morning in Social Science
302. A large crowd of students,
faculty members and others heard
the lecture.
Mr. Lichty is in charge of the
personnel department of the Colo
rado corporation, and his talk dealt
with the problem of handling the
workers in large corporations. He
said that financial and managerial
problems were easy compared with
the managing of the workers. Wage
earners are organized so well that
they have a great deal to do with
the management of the business.
They must be dealt with carefully
and must have some control over the
work.
Mr. Lichty explained the Rocke
feller plan which has been in use in
his company for seven years. The
plan, formed by Mr. Rockefeller with
the help of Hon. MacKenzie King, is
a company union between the work
ers and the owners of the corpora
tions. The working class has a
voice in . its management and there
is a co-operation between it and the
managers. The plan, formed to do
away with strikes, has proved very
successful in its working. Mr. Lich
ty also discussed the the Kansas in
dustrial court and its functions.
The great field open to college
graduates in business administration
in the personnal work in great bus
inesses was discussed by Mr. Lichty.
The graduates roust have ability to
co-operate with the wage-earners
and handle them successfully.
Mr. Lichty will speak this morning
at 10 o'clock before Prof. E. S. Full-
brook's class in marketing in Social
Science 302. His subject will be,
"How the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company Markets Its Products."
Students and faculty members are
invited to attend.
Staff Members Go to
Magazine Convention
Raymond Swallow, business man
ager of the Cornhusker Countryman,
and Virgil Michael, editor, leave to
day to attend the annual conven
tion of the Agricultural College Mag
azine association at Chicago. The
meetings will be held April 11 and
12 at the LaSalle hotel.
The association is composed of
leading agricultural college maga
zines, which are in this association in
order to benefit each other in their
work. Advertising and news of na
tional importance are procured under
this system.
Nw York New York University
is endeavoring to establish a Taylor
Society, the object of which is to
take the student beyond the text
book and classroom stage and open
up for him practical contacts with
management problems.
Three thousand students heard the
first address by Sherwood Eddy, in
ternational student leader, on the
subject, "The Challenge of the Pres
ent World Situation," at St. Paul
church at 1J. o'clock Wednesday
morning, presided over by Chancellor
S. Avery. Dr. Eddy outlined the sit
uation of the world as he found it
in his recent travels.
The audience of students and fac
ulty, the largest proportion of the
student body to receive Dr. Eddy at
a state university, filled the church
beyond its seating capacity. The
band led a parade of students to the
church.
Campus moral problems will be the
theme of Mr. Eddy's lecture this
morning at 11 o'clock. This eve
ning he will take up intellectual dif
ficulties of students in regard to re
ligion. The meeting will be thrown
open to questions. Friday, the last
day of his visit, he will speak at 11
and 7:15 on subjects relative to
Christianity. Individual conferences
may be arranged through Mr. Paul
McCaffree, Y. M. C. A. secretary.
War Threaten.
Mr. Eddy characterized the world
as war-threatened and war-torn, as
divided in industrial, racial, and in
ternational strife. "The youth of
the world is in revolt against three
evils militarism, exploitation and
militarism," he declared.
In Japan, Mr. Eddy found a new
liberal movement against the pres
ent order under which fifteen fam
ilies have the bulk of the wealth,
while 92 per cent of the people live
in poverty, having an average income
of only $250 a year.
The earthquakes are an outward
symbol of the strife of Japan," he
declared. "She has to face the lia
bility of internal revolution."
Orient I in Ferment.
Korea, the first protestant coun
try of Asia, is struck by tides of
radicalism, bolshevism and socialism,
Mr. Eddy stated. The Filipinos
are demanding immediate independ
ence. The students of China are or
ganizing for better industrial con
ditions. - India demands home rule.
Egypt, Palestine and Turkey are also
faced with problems of internal up
heaval, the speaker told his audi
ence. Mr. Eddy found a laboring man on
the throne of the Czar of Russia; a
saddlemaker, the president of the
German republic; a blacksmith boy,
prime minister of England condi
tions indicative of the changes taking
place in Europe.
Compare United States.
In conclusion, Mr. Eddy compared
the problems of America with those
of other countries, asking, "Are we
98 per cent all right?" He stated
that Chicago has twenty more mur
ders in a year than the British Isles;
that the United States has five times
as many strikes as Great Britain; that
in forty years the United States has
averaged two lynchings a week.
We're drifting back to another
war, He declared, and finished with
the plea, "Let us play our full part
in the world s life.
Immediately after the meeting Mr.
Eddy spoke to the student committee
in charge at a luncheon at the Grand
hotel urging personal work on the
part of the members in realizing re
sults from the meetings he is holding.
