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.

Irvin Cobb Disputes
Professors on Wearing of Knickers
A controversy is raging between
Irvin S. Cobb, well-known author,
humorist and newspaperman, and
Prof. Charles Gray Shaw of the de
partment of philosophy of New York
University, over the social and poiiti--!
fmnlication of the wearing of
knickers. The chief contentions of
Mr. Cobb and Professor Shaw are
set forth by the student daily of
New York University, which says:
"To be or not to be, that is the
question. But in the discussion rag
ing between Irvin S. Cobb, and Pro
fessor Charles Gray Shaw of the
Philosophy Department, the question

tains that knickers are democratic,
and Professor Shaw stoutly takes the
orposite position.
"Mr. Cobb points out that,' The
only reason Professor Charles Gray

MRS. MORRISON
TO READ DRAMA
"The Fool," by Channing Pol
lock Will Be Presented
at Temple Tonight.
FIVE COMPANIES ARE
STAGING THE PLAY
Bess Gerhart Morrison, a native of
Nebraska, will give a reading of "The
Fool," at the Temple theater, Tues
day evening. The play, written by
Channing Pollock, is considered one
of the greatest of the season.
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.

With Edison Company
Mervyn C. Kimberly, '20, is doing
engineering work in connection with
the underground service department
of the Commonwealth Edison Com
pany of Chicago. This department
is occupied at present in cutting over
from direct current to alternating
current around the edge of the cen
tral district in Chicago. This permits
the use of higher voltage and less
cepper. The change is made in the
interests of economy.
With Philosophy
terbockers are aristocratic is because
he hasn't seen me wearing a pair.'
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.' "

Nebraska will meet Northwestern
University, Ames, Iowa, and probably
Minesota in dual wrestling meets as
part of the Western Intercollegiate
Wrestling Association schedule which
was made up at a meeting of wrest
ling coaches from western-conference
universities at Chicago last Friday
and Saturday. '
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.

Meet at Chicago.
DORSEY BARNES GETS
INDIVIDUAL HONORS
The livestock judging team which
represented the University of Ne
braska at the international contest
returned Sunday after winning the
championship at the world's largest
judging contest. This team, made up
of five seniors from the College of
Agriculture, won from twenty-three
teams from the largest agricultural
colleges and universities of United
States and Canada. The men re

team that has ever represented the
University of Nebraska. Winnings
previous to the international contest
were: First honors in the national
western livestock show, at Denver,
last year; second at the national
swine show at Peoria, Illinois; and

his instrument, the Clavilux which
is coming to Lincoln on Tuesday, De
cember 16, under the auspices of the
American Legion.
"The Clavilux or, as some people
prefer to call it, the'color organ,' is
an elaborate and highly sensitive
electrical instrument upon which Mr.
Wilfred has been working for nine
teen years. It gives a skilled per
former as absolute control over pure
white light as an organist has control
over sound when he sits at the pipe
organ console," stated Professor C.
J. Frankf orter.

PARTY COMMITTEE
WILL MEET TODAY
Will Form Plans for Christmas
All-University Affair Sat
urday Evening.
Plans for the annual all-Uiversity
Christmas party, which will be held
Saturday night in the Armory, will
be made at a meeting of the commit
tee Tuesday afternoon. The general
chairmen at that time will select the
committees to arrange for the party.
Chairman Laddimer Hubka plans
to make the Christmas party one of
the most successful ever held. Ar
rangements will be made Saturday
night to accommodate even a larger
crowd than that which has filled the
Arjftory at previous all-University
dances this year.
The Christmas party is an estab
lished custom and has been held reg
ularly in years past with the excep
tion of those of the war. It has gen
erally been followed by an all-University
program around the Christ
mas tree before the close of 6chool
for the holiddays. The Christmas
program may be held again this year
if the committee decides that it is
worth while.
DAYIDSON SPEAKS
ON ENGINEERING
Sigma Tau Guest Addresses
, Orientation Class of Ag
ricultural College.
Professor J. B. Davidson, week-end
guest of Sigma Tau, honorary engin
eering fraternity, spoke on "Agricul
tural Engineering Its History and
Development" before the orientation
section of agricultural engneers at
the College of Agriculture campus
Saturday morning.
In his lecture, Professor Davidson
sketched the origin and history of ag
ricultural engineering, and its field
past, present, and future. He men
tioned the achievements of several
prominent graduates in that branch
of engineering.
Professor Davidson is a graduate
and former faculty member of the
University of Nebraska. He is now
head of the departments of agricul
tural and mechanical engineering at
Iowa State College.
VASSAR COLLEGE The influ
ence of the cross-word puzzle has
reached Vassar, where a group of
women have banded together for the
purpose of working out the latest
"brain-wracker." According to the
president of the club, the educational
worth of the squares is undoubted, as
several members of the faculty have
joined the club.
WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE
All students entering college who
did not make high grades in high
school will be placed in a B class
where they will be given the counsel
and sympathy of a faculty member.
McGILL UNIVERSITY Fresh
man rules are somewhat strict: no
freshman may walk on the sidewalks
of the campus; each new man must
wear his faculty colors in the button
of his coat.
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.

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.
