THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1924 PRICE 5 CENTS WILL SPEAK ON ORIENTAL VIEWS Jorgenson Will Present East ern Ideas of Life at World Forum Luncheon. CHINA AND JAPAN TO BE FIELD OF SPEECH "The Oriental Views of Life" will be the topic of the weekly World Forum address and discussion to morrow at the Grand Hotel. The main address will be given by Arthur Jorgenson, secretary of the Univer sity V. M. C. A., for twelve years student secretary of the national Y. M. C. A. commission in Japan. The address is part of a series of lectures and discussions being held by the Forum group on the differ ent views of life. Last week Prof. J. A. Rice, Jr., of the department of ancient languages, gave the initial address on "The Greek Views of Life" and Rabbi Starrells of the Jewish Synagogue will give the Jew ish views next week. Studied Condition. "I want to impress on the stu dents who attend the World Forum the views of the Oriental living in eastern China, Korea and Japan, said Mr. Jorgenson. He has had oc casion to study these conditions dur ing his stay in Japan. The inspiration and direction of Confucianism and Buddhism in Ja pan and the far East will be a main topic of the address. According to Mr. Jorgenson, worship of Confucius and Buddha are both predominant in eastern China and Japan, although the latter is mainly a product of India. The subject discussed will deal with Buddhism as practiced in Japan and not as in India. Should Increase Respect. "We should be impressed by Ori ental and Eastern views," said Mr. Jorgenson. "Any observations of them should increase our respect for the Chinese and Japanese outlooks on life. Of course, it is somewhat natural, but the average Oriental knows far more about us than we do about him. We know comparatively little about our Eastern neighbor." The address will start promptly at 12 o'clock in order to allow time for discussion after the speech. Tickets may be bought at either the Y. M. C A. or the Y. W. C. A. offices in the Temple and Ellen Smith Hall. The price is twenty-five cents, and tickets must be purchased before this evening.

Unusual interpretation is given the play by Mrs. Morrison, who per forms the difficult task of making her hearers feel the characterization of the individuals wno figure in the play without the advantages of any stage settings or costumes. Mrs. Morrison, who' began her career by reading at the church socials and country literary societies, shows her ability to make her audi ences feel every emotion of the in dividual characters, in her interpre tation of "The Fool." Two years ago, Mrs. Morrison gave "The Copperhead" at the Uni versity of Nebraska. The drama in which she is appearing this year is being played by five different com panies throughout the country. The play is being sponsored by the Dramatic Club of the University. Members are selling tickets for the production at fifty cents.

He further adds, 'Not only do I ex pect Professor Shaw to be smothered in a high and rising tide of pants dis carded by the unfettered legs of dem ocratic Americans but I will go so far as to say that Professor Shaw, for anatomical reasons, having none of the democratic spirit which inspired me to show the great expanse of my legs to an uninterested world, dares not expose his underpinnings.' "Professor Shaw stated his stand upon the matter saying that John W. Davis was defeated because of a pic ture of him in knickers was widely circulated in the newspapers. He also says, 'I believe that knickers are de veloping a force of aristocratic sen timent in this country and I shall do all I can to check the short pants movement.'

' The schedule for the Cornhusker grapplers is almost complete, with the Valley championship meet at Lin coln and the western individual cham pionship meet at Minneapolis as fea tures of the card. According to Dr. R. G." Clapp, wrestling coach, who at tended the parley as Nebraska's rep resentative, the two-year contract with Kansas will probably be re newed, and a pre-season trip arrang ed for southern territory. Clapp Made President. Dr. Clapp was re-elected president of the Western Intercollegiate Gym nastic, Wrestling and Fencing Asso ciation at the meeting. E. G. Schroe- der of Iowa was elected to the post of secretary of the association. Few new rules were adopted by the conference for this year. Outside of modifications and revisions for clar ity in interpreting rules, only two new ones were installed. They are: "Bouts shall be started with the contestants in their own corners. The referee shall ailow the contestants to shake hands and return to their cor ners, where time will be started. This is to prevent men from jumpirtj around the referee and attacking the opponent unexpectedly. On Illegal Holds. "In case a wrestler is injured by his opponent, who used an illegal nold to make the injury, the match shall be awarded to the injured man." The only other legislation taken up by the conference outside the sched ule was the settling of the place of the western individual meet. The tourney was awarded to the Univer sity of Minnesota at Minneapolis, with the provision that in 1926 it should be held at Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana. The meet is for individual championships only, the team champions being decided on a percentage basis from dual meets. A meeting of Missouri Valley wTestling coaches has been called by Dr. Clapp for the purpose of adopt ing rules for Valley dual meets and the championship meet in March. The meetings will be held Friday morning at the Kansas City Athletic Club, Kansas City, Mo. THREE GAMES ARE ON PROGRAM TODAY Interfraternity Contest Enters Second Round; To Be Fin ished This Week.

Inventor, Wilfredi "The Clavilux contains formless white light plus all possibilities, and if an unskilled person moved the keys the result on the screen would be only ugly splashes of muddy colors. The artist, however, bends the light into beautiful forms and makes them move gracefully over the screen in slow rythm. He then fills them with interlacing gorgeous colors that change with the rythm, brings in other forms in other rythms and colors, finally working up to a climax that well nigh takes your breath away. "No it has no music played with it. No one would want music after having watched five minutes of the first composition. For the first tie in the history of art we have silent abstract beauty, enjoyed through the eye alone." SAYS TICKET SALE IS GOOD Martin Wants Students to Buy Admissions to Cornhusker Banquet Early. SELLING WILL STOP AFTER FRIDAY NOON The first few days' ticket sale for the Cornhusker banquet, to be held next Friday night, December 12, at 6 o'clock at the Scottish Rite Temple, ' was successful, according to Bennett S. Martin in charge of the sales. There is no check to determine the exact number of tickets sold, but it is advisable, he says, to get tickets early, as only a certain number have been put on sale. It is necessary to know the number of Cornhuskers who will be present at the Scottish Rite Temple Friday night in order to make proper accommodations. Tick ets will be checked up Thursday and no tickets will be on sale after Friday noon. Plans have been made to have the 1924 Cornhusker banquet the "best yet." The dining room is being planned to accommodate about 1,300 according to the latest estimates. The committee has set the price at one dollar, which is nearly at cost, and in order to purchase the meal on the most economical basis, it is necessary to know just how many will be pres ent Friday. All fraternity houses have been re quested to close their tables Friday night, and attend the banquet. Tick ets have been sent to fraternity hous es for the convenience of students, and may be obtained from the vari ous representative sellers. Tickets may also be purchased at the employ ment bureau in the Temple. Leon Hamilton Comes Back for Short Visit Leon S. Hamilton, Civil Engineer ing, '19, paid a brief visit to the cam pus last week.

House Animals in Bessey Hall Rooms Few students have ever heard of, much less seen, the animal quarters on the third floor of Bessey HalL Here are housed all specimens used for experiments by the departments of parisitology, anatomy, and zool ogy. Injured birds and nests of field animals are brought in by students and interested Lincolnites, and these foundlings play an important part in the fields of scientific research. There is a cage of pigeons in one corner that are being used in an ex periment in innoculation by Dr. D. D. Whitney. The cages on one side house a jackrabitt, a night heron winged near Lincoln by a hunter, and a duck which met the same fate. There are several nests of rats white, striped, and spotted families used in experiments in genetics and parasitology. Rabbits are used for much the same purposes, and guinea pigs are import ant to the research in genetics. . In addition to the third floor quar ters, animals of a different species are housed in the basement quarters. Here are found the frogs, turtles, alligators, and such additional water animals as are in demand in the laboratories.
