GIVES OBSERVATIONS
OF BRITISH POLITICS
Will Owen Jones, Editor of
Journal, Speaks to Class
in Government.
Will Owen Jones, editor of the
Nebraska State Journal, gave the
third of a series of special talks to
frof. L. E. Aylesworth's classes in
tovernment last Friday, May 3. Hi
gave some personal observations of
tbe British political system based on
ki recent trip to England,
Freedom of speech seems to be
tbe Englishman's most treasurer pos
esion according to Mr. Jones. The
right to say what you please and to
criticize the government at will is
ne of the prized liberties of the
Englishman.
Mr. Jones described bis visit to
Hyd Parle, where freedom of speech
its base in London. There he
found men representing every type of
pinion and advocating every possi-
uie social, economic and political
jnge addressing the people from
little stands very much like soap
koxes. Each had bis own little crowd
bout him which he was haranguing
m the interests of his particular the
or idea. All this was done with
any interference on the part of
police.

In order to discover to what
jnrtiis person might go in express
his views in Hyde Park, Mr. Jones

Minneapolis Orchestra Directed by
Verbrugghen Gives Concert May 14
The Minneapolis Symphony or
chestra, directed by Henri Verbrugg
hen, will appear in Lincoln at the
stadium the evening of May 14. The
University chorus, assisted by four
soloists specially secured for the oc
casion, will also take part in the pro
gram. Seats are now on sale at
Ross P. Curtice for 50 cents, 75
cents and 1, and box seats for $2.
Mr. Verbrugghen has had an inter
esting career as a musician. He was
born in Brussels, Belgium, and was
the only son of a wealthy manufac
turer. His father decided that Henri
should be a doctor but the boy had
ideas of his own. He was allowed to
study the violin as a proper avocation
and his talent became so apparent
that it attracted the attention of
Ysaye, the great Belgian violinist.
Makes Debut at Fourteen.
The boy became a pupil of Ysaye
and at the age of fourteen was taken
to London to make his debut. Hef
won instant recognition in England
as a great violinist and was a fav
orite in that country for five years.
Verbrugghen then decided that he
did not wish to spend his life "with
a violin tucked under his chin" and
he deserted the concert stage to take
a minor position in a great orchestra
in Wales. Step by step, he worked

his wy up until he became the con
ductor. After playing in a number of or
chestras on the continent to gain ex
perience, he was offered the post of
assistant conductor of the famous
Scottish Symphony orchestra of Glas
gow, Scotland. Soon after accept
ing the offer, he was made the leader
of this orchestra.
Conducts London Orchestra.
Serving as guest conductor for or
ganizations in Russia, France, Bel
gium and Germany, he gained a repu
tation so great that he was chosen as
conductor of the London Symphony
orchestra for the famous Beethoven
festival of 1914. A year later, he was
recalled tov direct the Beethoven-Brahms-Bach
festival, and his repu
tation became established.
Next came a call from the State
Conservatory in Sydney, Australia,
and he organized and conducted the
State Symphony orchestra of that
city. The resignation of Emil Ober
hoffer, who was for nineteen years
the conductor of the Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra, gave the post
to Verbrugghen.
His career was a strange one for
a lad who was to be a doctor, but
Verbrugghen has said "I am a doc
tor still. I treat men's souls with a
time-tested remedy music."

LABOR GOVERNMENT IS
TOPIC AT CONVOCATION
Sidney Wicks, English Editor,
Says Labor Party Not
Same as Unions.
"The Significance of the Labor
Government" was the subject of an
address given by Sidney F. Wicks,
one of the editors of the Manchester
Weekly Guardian, to an audience
that filled the Temple theater yes
terday morning at 11 o'clock.
"The labor party in England is
much larger, much broader than the
labor unions," Mr. Wicks said, in
stressing that the labor party and
the unions were not identical. He
pointed out that the union merely rep
resents class interests in an economic
war, while the party has a political
philosophy and a national aim.
"Few people in England today be
lieve that the labor union represents
the last word in industrial organiza
tion, but there are may who believe
that it is essential to a healthy con
dition in industry," Mr. Wicks de
clared.
In dealing with the socialistic ten
dencies of the labor party, Mr. Wicks
decried the attitude of those people,
who "thrill with horror" when so
cialism is mentioned.
"All the members of the labor
party are not socialists," Mr. Wicks
explained. "I do not believe that the
English people will ever give con
scious assent to socialism."
The conditions giving rise to the
labor movement were depicted by Mr.
Wicks. These industrial conditions
lead the working classes to desert the
organized, orthodox religion and to
expend their religious feeling in work
for social reform.
Paying a high tribute to Ramsay
McDonald, Mr. Wicks declared that
he stood "like Atlas with the burden
of Europe on his shoulders."
Mr. Wicks closed with a plea for
understanding and friendship be
tween the United States and England.
Prof. P. H. Grumann presided and
introduced Chancellor S. Avery who
presented the speaker.

ords on New Track in
Saturday Contest.

twenty-seven high schools had made
entries in the annual track and field
meet to be held on the memorial sta
dium track Saturday May 10. The

are expected to be set up this year
as the new track is the faster than
the old one on which the former
records were established.

worked out by Coach "Indian
Sshulte will speed up the afternoon
program of the meet. The prelim
inaries will be run off in the morn
ing for the most part instead of in
the afternoon as heretofore.
A survey of high school track
teams indicates that expectations of
new records are likely to be realized.
Jones of Central high, running in
Council Bluffs last Saturday equalled
the state record of 10 1-5 in the
100-yard dash. Garvin of Alliance
duplicated the performance the same
day at the Western Nebraska Schol
astic meet at Mitchell.
Central Hu Strong- Team.
Central high of Omaha will come
to the meet as usual with a for
midable 'aggregation. The Purple
and White tracksters won first with
flying colors at the Council Bluffs
relay last Saturday. The other Oma
ha teams and teams from Iowa were
in the meet. So far Central with
nineteen entries has one of the lar
gest teams in the meet. Central

RAY AND WATSON
APPEARS IN MEET
Famous Middle-distance Run
ners of, Illinois Athletic
Club in Match Race.
WILL BE FEATURE OF
VALLEY TRACK MEET
Joeie Ray champion middle dis
tance runner, and Ray watson, Illi
nois Athletic club star, will run in
a special race at the Missouri Valley
conference track and field meet May
24 at Lincoln on the new Nebraska
memorial stadium field. This is one
of the special events being arranged
for the Valley classic by Coach Henry
F. Schulte.
"The greatest athletic event in
the history of the University and
greater than the Notre Dame game,"
says Coach Schulte when talking
about the Missouri Valley meet.
With the new stadium completed and
the cinder track in excellent shape,
Nebraska is prepared to take care of
the visiting conference athletes as
never before.
Special attractions in the way of
military demonstrations by United
States regulars from Fort Riley,
Kan., and the University R.O.T.C.
will be some of added events to make
it the most spectacular event ever
staged at Nebraska .
Coach Schulte hopes to fill the me
morial stadium from one end to the
other Saturday, May 24, when the
cream of the Missouri Valley will be
pitted against each other in track
and field competition.
Say Has Fine Team.
"Cornhusker followers should come
from far and wide for this wonder
ful display of athletic skill. Ne
braska has won the Valley cham
pionship three times in succession
and the 1924 track team is one of
the finest I have ever had the oppor
tunity of coaching. Nebraska is not
confident of winning the fourth con
secutive championship but we are
going to give all the schools a real
run for their money," is the way the
"Indian" expresses himself.
Winners in the Missouri Valley
Conference Championships will have
the privilege of going to Boston to
compete in the finals of the Olympic
tryouts for the United States Olym
pic team. Records are expected to
fall fast and furiously when the stars
of the conference school start burn
ing up the tinders in the conference
championships.
Tigers Are Strong-.
Little has been heard of Coach
Bob Simpson's "Show Me" Missouri
ans except when they copped the
Indoor Championships at Kansas City
this spring. The Tigers are consid
ered as one of the strongest conten
ders in the Valley for Championship
honors. Coach Simpson has a galaxy
of stars wearing the Tiger colors and
is certain to make a strong bid fcr
first place honors May 24.
Kansas failed to make a specta
cular showing at the Drake Relays
but this is no evidence that the Jay
hawkers will not come to Lincoln
with the expectations of carrying
home the majority of the blue rib
bons.
INTERCOMPANY TRACK
