PURPOSE IS TO AID
EUROPEAN STUDENTS
I am glad that the ' student
committee of the University of
Nebraska has decided to take part
in tho student friendship fund
drive beginning Tuesday and Wed
nesday. I saw in Europe the des
perate situation of our fellow stu
dents in a dozen countries. In
some countries $1 a month or $10
t year will keep a student in col
legeg and will keep him from
falling into the ranks of unem
ployment. I saw professors living
on $4 to $10 a month and students
surviving on $1 to $2.
I hope we caji all have part in
sharing with our fellow students
in Europe through the student
friendship fund. Sherwood Eddy.
The student friendship drive for
funds to help students in European
countries will be launched Tuesday
and Wednesday. Students will be
Ifiveri an opportunity to contribute
from booths in Social Science, Li
brary, University hall, Law College
and at the College of Agriculture
campus. Contributions will be vol
untary and contributors will be
tagged.
The student friendship fund is an
international affair. . The money is
raised entirely by students and con
tribuitons have been received from
schools in thirty-four countries. This
is he fourth annual drive on the
University of Nebraska campus.
The fund is for the relief of stu
dents in European schools who are
in desperate circumstances. Con
rad Hoffman, director of student re
lief in Europe spoke . here last fall
and presented a plea for the help of
European students. The fund has
the endorsement of such men as Her
bert Hoover, Sherwood Eddy and
John R. Mott
Some of the conditions now exist
ing in Europe speak for themselves:

Sherwood Eddy Outlines Needs
of American College Students
By V. W. Torre?.
No matter what you think of Sher
wood Eddy, you surely agree that he
is at least an interesting man. How
can a man help but be interesting if
he is able to attract thousands, day
fter day, speak intelligently on al
most any subject under the sun,
nd serve as the target for hundreds
of questions?
He is an even more interesting
nan to interview than to hear speak.
He has a rather "ministerial" man
ner, takes you by the hand and calls
yon "brother," quotes Emerson and
others with ease, and asks you ques
tions that he really doesn't expect
you to answer.
Whun asked what he considers the
Peatest need of college students he
chose to think aloud and then gave
number of needs.
"There is a need of facing the
.world situation and grappling with
racial and international problems,
of developing an international mind
o that we can really go out into
world citizenship. Emerson said that
America is God's last chance to save
the world, but we can't save it if we
dn't know the world.
"There is also need of thinking
through to a conclusion and taking
n intelligent stand on these prob
es. Is there to be a rvle of gold
ir a Golden Rule in industry? Are
e to have lynchings or brotherhood?
c,fln conscience be coerced- by the
state? These are all questions which
e college man ought to think,
'"'out and decide one way or the
other."
Dr- Eddy atteniDts to answer those
questions as he believes a Christian
should
answer them, but he thinks
that
a college education should rive
'th"" r Woman an opportunity to
J?k and decide .those questions
aer than to furnish ready-made
'!Americftn students in universities
as this are too narrow and pro
cial because they are in the cen

A student art exhibit of original

The exhibit will be composed of

of batik work, gesso and leather
tooling will also be on display, Lloyd
Tucker, president of the Art club an

gallery at 8 o'clock including a studio
talk and music. An announcement
of the entire program for Tuesday

not forced to think as are their Eur
opean brothers. On the average,
they do not have too much money
or do not have too high a standard
of living. Many students have too
much, of course, but others are work
ing their way through and the aver
age is about right."
He did not feel prepared to state
just what the percentage of immor
ality would be on a campus such as
this, but said, "'If Nebraska does not
have such problems, it is to be con
gratulated. I have yet to find a
state university where all of the fra
ternities were free from the third
point in my Thursday morning lec
ture. I have yet to find a state uni
versity where such a talk as mine was
not needed."
The R.Q.T.C. question was' the
real "joner" of the interview. Dr.
Eddy stated that he had troubles
enough already without being quoted
as advising students to refuse to drill.
"Every advance in history has
been made by a minority," he main
tains. "The rights of the minority
do not cease when they become pub
lic wrongs." Every person must de
cide for himself which is supreme,
his own conscience or the state, and
govern his actions accordingly.

EDDY SAYS BIBLE
OFFERS SOLUTION
Declares We Can Solve World
Problems Only by Follow
ing Its Teachings.
NOTED LECTURER GIVES
FINAL ADDRESS FRIDAY
"Nothing in theworldcan solve our
campusproblems, ou r national prob
lems, our race problems, or the great
war problem, unless we follow Jesus
Christ and accept the Bible as our
guide," said Sherwood Eddy Friday
evening in the last of his series of
lectures here. ,
i
Dr. Eddy announced that the gen
eral committee had completed ar
rangements for a series of discus
sion groups to meet during the next
four weeks so that the students may
talk about these questions. A gen
eral meeting of all me ninterested
will be held in Social Science audi
torium at 9 o'clock Monday evening
and a meeting of the women will
be held in Ellen Smith hall Tuesday
eveningg. The details of the plan
will be worked out at the general
meetings but it is planned to have
discussion groups at the fraternity
and sorority houses, dormitories,
rooming houses, and any other places
where students may desire them.,
them.
The four questions to be taken up
in these discussions are: "Our Cam
pus Problems," "The War Problem,"
"The Race. Question," and "The In
dustrial Problem." One of these top
ics will be discussed each week.
"With the aid of the principles
laid down by Christ we must face
the issues of the day squarely," said
Dr. Eddy. "We are inclined to try
to dodge the real issues, but just as
the slavery question could not be
dodged in Civil war times, we cannot
dodge these parmount world prob
lems or the consequence will be worse
than those of the civil war."
The speaker touched on campus
problems again and implored the stu
dents to clean things up. "A fra
ternity can either be an inspiration
to a man or it can degrade him men
tally and morally," he declared.
Mr. Eddy spoke in behalf of Euro
pean students, especially the theolog
ical students in Russia, and an
nounced that next Monday and Tues
day there would be booths on the
campus and those who desired to
give something to the funds for
these students would have an oppor
tunity to do so. Ten dollars, he ex
plained, would keep one of these
students for a year.
Despite the rainy weather over
2000 heard Mr. Eddy. He was suf
fering from such a severe cold that
he was barely able to speak.
In his morning lecture, Dr. Eddy
proposed these questions, "What are
we here for? What is the aim of life?
What is the meaning of life?" The
question of the aim of life was con
sidered first.
"What is the highest good in life?
Some say that it is pleasure, but they
find that pleasure never satisfies, it
only satiates. Some say that it is
money, but money cannot buy the
highest things of life. Some say
that it is power, but Napoleon with
all his great power died a bitter and
disillusioned man," said Dr. Eddy.
"Eevery man stands in three re
lationships to life, to God, to his
fellows, and to himself. How can
man fulfill these three duties? By
following the way that Christ lived.
If a man follows this life he will find
the greatest things in life.
"Why do. I. believe in God? Be
cause I have found Him. He is the
greatest reality of my life, more real
than my mother, my wife, my child,
my friend. How does a man get to
know Him? . By tryingg. It is like

Berge Says Real Issue at Meeting
Was Nullification of Constitution
By Wendell Berge.
1. THE REAL ISSUE.
Shall the constitution of the United
States be nullified by a law-defying
minority? This was the fundamental
question which concerned the stu
dent conference on law observance
and citizenship which 'was held last
week in Washington, D. C.
The conference was called by the
citizens committee o fone thousand
of the national movement for law en
forcement. This committee is com
posed of men and women interested
in promoting the law-abiding spirit
and renewing respect for American
government and institutions. It is
not made up of fanatics or half
baked reformers.
The students conference purposed
to check the tendency to lawlessness
among college students ; to focus stu
dent opinion in behalf of law ob
servance; and to enlist students to
spread the gospel of law observance
in their different college and home
communities.
Special emphasis was placed upon
violations of the eighteenth amend
ment and its enforcing acts because
it was desirable to give a, concrete
character to the discussion and, also,
because the prohibition laws are the
ones most seriously violated by cai-

lege students.
I want to briefly mention some of
the outstanding things. of the con
ference. The moral side of the
conference. The moral side of the
drink question was not our chief con
cern. The real issue was whether
or not students are going to be hood
winked by the wet interests who are
carrying on a campaign to break
down the law by excessive violations.
We were addressed by Hon. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt, assistant at
torney general of the "United States,
who has been engaged in prosecut
ing bootleg cases. She said that the
department of justice has evidence
that the disgruntled wet minority,
recognizing that repeal is impossible,
are trying to break down the eigh
teenth amendment by defying it.
They are trampling the constitution
in the dust. They are striking at
the very heart of free government.
What is the "wet" program? They
are appealing to e terhclasses for
their victory. First, they are trying
to win the laborers in our eastern
industrial centers. Second, they are
peddling booze to the negroes of the
south. Third, they expect the col
lege students to jump on their band
wagon of law-breakers. Ignorant la
borers, ignorant negroes, college stu
dents that is their program.
The assistant attorney general told,:
of a dance at a large eastern college
held this winter where paid agents
passed out flasks of whisky to the
students as they entered the armory.
Fred B. Smith of New York, chair
man of the committee of one thous
and, has been investigating condi
tions in colleges and in the country
at large. He reports that "wet" in
terests are everywhere playing on
impetuous student sentiment to make
a farce of the constitution itself by
defying the amendment.
Although made up largely of drys,
the conference showed all respect for
the men who are avowedly "wet",
and working in legal ways to modify
