CURRY SPEAKS TO WORLD FORUM Explains Need of Extension of "World Loyalty" at Lun cheon Wednesday. The need of an extension of "world loyalty" was characterized by Dr. Bruce Curry, who spoke at the World Forum luncheon at the Grand hotel Wednesday .noon, as the greatest need in doing away with war and creating a spirit of fellowship and friendli ness among the people of the world. "Many people can't imagine extend inging their loyalty beyond their own country," he declared. They think that such action would mean aband oning loyalty to their own country. World Ir yalty is the next logical step in the expansion of our loyalty. Their attitude is the same as that of the man centuries ago who guarded his house alone against all comers. He could not imagine extending his loyalty beyond his own family. But gradually the circle of loyalties has grown past the famiy, the tribe, the city, and the state, to the nation. The next step is to make it include the world. "Instead of carrying on our inter national relations in such a way as to arouse all other peoples, and then having to heavily arm ourselves for protection, we could, at a much smaller expense, carrying on a pro gram of friendship and peace which would make international friends for us.. Dr. Curry stated that the so-called friendship policy of tie United States had for the most part been a matter of extending our friend ship when it would be to our finan cial and economic gain to do so. "The word pacifisf nas taken on such a great deal of unfortunate con notation that it is not safe to us the word now," said Dr. Curry prefacing his remarks about beliefs of pacifists. The common expres sion 'Those damn Pacifists' seems to typify common conception of most people. Most unfortunately it is al most always inferred that pacifists are dislpyal to their country. There are all grades of "pacifists, varying from tho8e mno do not lieve in the principle of war but who will fight for their country, to those who will not fight or use force under; ar.y circumstances." PLAYERS PLAN BIG PROGRAM Four One-Act Plays and Inter lude to Be Given in Tem ple Starting Tonight. "THE SON OF SETEWA" BY YENNE IS ON LIST Four one-act plays of purpose and an interlude with no purpose will be presented by the University Tlaycrs Thursday, Friday and Saturday eve nings, and Saturday matinee, Febru ary 5, 6, and 7 at the Temple The ater. "The Son of Setewa" by Herbert A. Yenne, B. F. A., '21, director .of the University Players; "Judge Lynch" by John William Rogers, Jr.; "The Silken Bully" by Michael J. Phillips; "It's Time Something Hap pened," an interlude, by Arthur Doyle; and "The Valiant," by Hol worthy Hall will make up the eve ning's program. "The Son of Setewa," a premiere production, is based on one of the true historical incidents collected by the author during his two summers spent studying the life, customs and mythology of the Hopi and Navajo Indians in New Mexico and Arizona, according to A. L. Erickson, business manager of the Tlayers. "The story was told to me by some Hopi Indians two summers ago," said Herbert Yenne, author of the play. It is about the naming of Corn Rock. It was at the foot of this rock that the starving Hopi Indians traded their children to the Spaniards for corn that those who remained might live. Corn Rock is on the second mesa, near Toreva, Arizona." Costumes for this play are correct historically, being largely lbaned for this purpose by the Hopi Indians. They are those worn by the Hopi during the ceremony of the Blue Flute Order. They are furnished by the Crafts del Navajo, Thorea, New Mexico. Jewelry Is Authentic Authentic jewelry will be worn by the characters, obtained largely through the courtesy of B. I. Staples, the only living white man a member of the Hopi tribe, and the third white man ever to have been adopted by the tribe. Hart Jenks, in the role of Setewa, will wear a necklace worn by Mr. Staples during the nine day and night ceremony when he was adopted by the tribe. He will carry the only double Indian flute ever discovered. The silver mountings for the jew elry were hammered from Mexican pesos, and the turquoise sets were mined and polished by the Indians. All sets are perfectly matched ac cording to' size and color. Blankets carried are over 500 years old, and are priceless. An original serapi, woven from the red and blue yarn of the uniforms of Spanish soldiers killed by the Indians, will be worn by Hart Jenks. "Judge Lynch" by John William Rogers, Jr., won the Belasco Prize and Loving Cup offered the winner of the National Little Theater Tour nament in 1924, when it was played by the Little Theater of Dallas, Tex as. Michael J. Phillips is author of numerous stories published in the Saturday Evening Post, "The Silken Bully" being one which he has dram atized with the aid of his wife. The author is a former newspaper man, who resigned the managing editor ship of the Santa Barbara Daily News two years ago to devote his en tire time to the writing of fiction and drama. This will be the premiere production of "The Silken Bully.' The interlude by Arthur Doyle of Colorado Springs is also a first-night er. Evening performances will begin at 8:15; the Saturday matinee will begin at 2 :30. DR. KEEGAN MADE DEAN OF COLLEGE Former Member of Faculty of College of Medicine Suc ceeds Dr. Cutter.

A definite system of grading based on pitch, diction, expression, and ap LECTURE GIVEN BY DEAN SEAVEY Head of Law College Address es Freshman Sections Monday and Tuesday. "SUPREMACY OF THE LAW" IS SUBJECT "Supremacy of the Law," was the subject of the first Freshman Lec ture of the second semester, given by W. A. Seavey, Dean of the Law Col lege, before Arts and Science fresh men Monday and Tuesday. "Law," said Dean Seavey, "is the most important thing in the world. It is the very means of our existence, and the nineteenth century develop ment that we are experiencing would be impossible without it. If it were not for law, the world would be in a turmoil and scientific and intellec tual advancement would be impossi ble." Seavey gave Russia as an example of a country with little established law. There, where there has been little but revolution and blood-shed in the past ten years, the people have not advanced much. In the past few months a more stable form of gov ernment has been set up, and things are changing. Our Laws Different. "Our laws are different from those of other nations," the speaker said. "They have been handed down from England, and are patterened after the first written charters that the colonists possessed when they landed in America. The people of the United States come from many different nations, but the laws and speech here are handed down from one source, England. "In 1789 the Constitution of the United States was framed. It was not adopted by revolution and dicta tion as was a similar document in France, but by argument and vote. There was not blood-shed while the Constitution was in the making, but both sides put up intellectual argu ments for and against it. It was fin ally put to a vote of the states, which was really a vote of the people. No one person made the Constitution, but all of the people in the country had a hand in it. "Our theory of government goes back to the time of the Saxons and Normans. The Magna Charta, made in England years ago, was a great inspiration to the colonists for a set of permanent laws. State Constitution Formed. "State constitutions were found necessary shortly after the constitu tion was framed. They were drawn up similar to the charters that Eng lish colonies had, binding them to the Crown. These state documents were made in the same way that the Con stitution of the United States was and many of them were patterened after th? original charters, granted by the English King. j "Supremacy of the Law means that everyone has the same rights that everyone else has. If an officer of the law or a governor of a state breaks a law he is just as liable to arrest as any other citizen of the country. There are certain rights that cannot be taken from the peo ple in this country. Some of them are freedom of religion, freedom of speech and press, and the right to a public and impartial trial." Fresmen lecture classes this semes ter are much larger than those of last semester. Only sixty-one stu dents failed to make the requ;red av erage in the course, which is the low est the number has been for several years, according to Roy E. Cochrane, who is in charge of the two classes. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- "Traffic rules" are being used in one of the local halls to reduce crowding among the 2000 students who have classes there almost every hour of the day.

Witte who has been training the club since early last falL Reduced convention rates have been granted for the concert by the railroads.

Kan sas City, and Dean Holmes Cowper, School of Fine Arts,- Drake University. CONDUCT SPELLING TESTS University Extension Dinvision Does Work Among High Schools. Preparatory to the third annual high-school spelling tests the Exten sion division of the University has mailed out a list of twenty words with directions to insure the partici pation of all pupils on equal terms. For the mo:.t part the words are from the second and third thousand words most commonly used. The list adopt ed by the University is one of those standardized by Thomas II. Rriggs of Columbia University after thorough investigation. The list has been prepared from a study of the spelling of words given to 40,017 pupils in 181 high schools in 160 cities of 33 states. For two years the Extension division has con ducted spelling tests in Nebraska high schools. The average for the first year was 4 to 6 per cent below the national average. Last year showed a distinct improvement, the standard being from 3.35 per cent below to .9 per cent above the national record. CONDRA SPEAKS BEFORE SOLONS Well-known University Man Gives Address on Nebras ka's Sandhills.

CHRISTIANITY IS DISCUSSED Dr. Curry Gives Two Address es Concerning Students and Religion. SAYS EACH ONE MUST FIND RELIGION ALONE "The Christianity of tho students today is a rather washed-out relig ion," said Dr. A. Bruce Curry, pro fessor in the Biblical Seminary in New York, at the first of a series of meetings held in the Temple yester day. Dr. Curry, who is touring the United States at the request of the leaders of the Student Christian Movement, believes that we need to substitute the religion of Jesus for Christianity. Following the trend of the after noon meeting, Dr. Curry impressed the necessity of ipach person discover ing for himself the religion of Christ at the evening meeting. By showing the method of the real st ident of the Bible in studying the sectnd chapter of Mark, and the first six verses of the third chapter, he pointed the way to clear understanding of the at titude of Jesus toward the social cus toms and usages, and the religious conventions. Correlation of the facts of the Bible, with an understanding of their fundamental meaning a clear picture in the mind of the student of the Bible is the aim of Dr. Curry's instruction. Tells Zone of Jesas. "Christianity has not been tried and found wanting: it has been found difficult and not tried very much," said Dr. Curry, who has placed everything that Jesus saw and believed possible into a cone called the zone of Jesus. Such things that would be listed under the headings: Method of Jesus; Way of Jesus; Spir it of Jesus, are all placed in this cone. The circle around this philosophy of Jesus is called the twilight zone, and according to Dr. Curry, very few of the 40,000,000 Christians are willing to live up to the standards required by the true Christianity. Dr. Curry's ideas are expressed in the belief of a certain missionary who said, "We have innoculated our selves with just a little bit of this Christianity but not enough to get the real thing." Dr. Curry pointed out that we are not applying the principles of Jesus religion to our situations today, and anyone who talks about taking Jesus seriously is a dangerous man. The only vi ay to see that the religion of today is different from the true re ligion is to go back to the records, for the beliefs that are prevalent to day have suffered in passing down through the ages. Footnotes Discnssed. That footnotes found in the bibles of today take the beauty out of the ideal, was shown by Dr. Curry, when he mentioned that these footnotes had been added year after year un til anyone studying the Bible could scarcely find the original footnote or explanation. "You can no longer read 'Love your enemies,' without reading the footnote written during the war telling you that this princi ple does not apply to anyone who may be your enemy at the present time," said Dr. Curry. "The problem of the Christ as evi denced by the passage in Mark is how he is to reestablish religion on a humanitarian basis in the face of the opposition of convention, custom, and theological interpretations. We may apply this to our own problems: When we see the customary methods in use which are contrary to the needs of humanity, how can we go about bringing the needed change about in the face of the opposition of conservatism? "People often rush into new ideals before studying the real Christian way of going about it. How much better it would be if they would fol low the Christian method." Leading the discussion of the Bible lesson. Dr. Curry pointed out the Christian so lution to such a problem: A study of the situation; a gonig back .to the root of the problem; the placing of human needs as the basis to work from; rhe manner of bringing about the change simply personal action; explanation given only when asked for, together with an appeal to rea son. In addition, the Christ did not consider himself, be did not design his actions for effect, but rather was sincere, and he was fair to his op ponents. Meetings of the classes will be held each day at four o'clock and seven o'clock in the Temple building.
