DEBATE TRYODTS
COME THIS WEEK
Selection of University Teams
Will Be Made Wednes
day or Thursday.
Try-outs for the Nebraska debate
teams which will meet Dakota will
probably be held Wednesday or
Thursday. These dates may be
changed at the choice of the judges.
Selection to a speaking position on
either of the teams entitles the stu
dent to membership in Delta Sigma
Rho, national honorary society for
intercollegiate debaters.
The question for the try-outs and
the two debates is: Resolved, That
Congress should be given the power
to overrule, by a four-fifths vote of
both houses, Supreme Court decis
ions which hold acts of Congress un
constitutional. The Nebraska-Iowa debate, in
which Nebraska upholds the affirma
tive, will be held in Lincoln at the
Temple theater, March 19. The Nebraska-south
Dakota argument in
which Nebraska has the negative, will
be held the same da"y at Vermillion,
S. D.
All students in good standing are
eligible to compete and those desir
ous of doing so should arrange their
work accordingly.
Order of speaking is to be decided
by lot before the debate, and the time
will probably be eight minutes be
cause of the number of candidates.
That Volta Torrey will be the first
affirmative speaker was decided at a
drawing made Monday.

dress by Prof. C. J. Franf orter of the
chemistry department at the quarter
ly orientation lecture of the College
of Engineering Saturday morning in
Social Science auditorium.
Developments in chemical theory
were discussed by the speaker. He
outlined the contacts - which such
works must have with engineering
practice. Numerous examples illus
trated the importance of metal' y
and metallography in making dyes,
explosives, rubber, leather substi
tutes, and similar products.
The value of a knowledge of chem
istry and an appreciation of the size
of the field was impressed upon the
engineering students. r
Orientation lectures are heard in

FINAL TALKS
Emphasises Means of Continu

After This Series.
DRAWS ILLUSTRATIONS
FROM BIBLE PASSAGES
Means of continuing Bible discus
sion groups after the recent series of
twelve meetings of the past week
wto pmnhasized bv Dr. A. Bruce
Currv. of the New York Biblical In
stitute, in the concluding talks of the
series Sunday at the Temple. The
week-end meetings were largely at
tended by delegates from the seven
state colleges in Nebraska, while the
earlier meetings were mamly for stu
dents in the University.
Continuing on the general subject
for the whole series. Dr. Curry drew
illustrations from biblical passages
illustrating the living of "Liie at Its
Best." The Sunday afternoon pass
age was the tenth chapter of Mark.
Wanti Meetings Followed Up.
Followine a short preliminary dis
cussion of the chapter, Dr. Curry ap
plied the method of the Christ as evi
denced in this chapter in the final
Dresentation of his subject. He pur-
nosed to have his work followed up
by the people who attended the last
few meetings more than any other,
ss the eroun there was a selected
group selected as the group the
Christ selected for the carrying ol
his message, according to the illus
tration of the sower and the reaper.
Dr. Curry traced the history of the
Christian religious movement from
its origin with the Hebrews, showing
the similarity of the movements oi
the reformation led by Luther and
his contemporaries and the initiation
of the Christian movement 1900
years ago. The analagous nature of
other attempts at reformation at va
rious times in the history of the
world was illustrated.
The need at present, not of such
a change as a reformation, but a
changing back to the higher ideals a
bit obscured by modern times was
strongly urged. The part that each
student might play in this sort of re
bolstering up the Christian move
ment was emphasized.
In the morning session, Dr. Curry
presented numerous printed pam
phlets through which the student of
the Bible might secure aid hi his
study. Hints about leading discus
sion groups were thrown out.
Dr. Curry will lead Bible discus-'
sion groups at the University of Col
orado and at the University of Kan
sas in the next two weeks.

STINER, SIGMA NU,
IS HIGH-POINT MAN
Pi Kappa Alpha, scoring 1148 in
the shotput and 11S6 in the mile run
for a total of 2284 points, led the
field after the first day of the inter
fraternity mid-winter track meet.
Delta Tau Delta placed second with a
total of 1944 points and Sigma Phi
Epsilon third with 153S points.
Lonnie Stiner of Sigma Na was in
dividual high-point man of the after
noon. He made 892 points by put
ting the shot 88 feet, 6 inches. An
dreson of Sigma Alpha Epsilon put
the shot 86 feet, 7 inches for 754
points.
Moore of Pi Kappa Alpha was the
fastest man in the mile race which he
ran in 4:56 8-5 for 668 points.
Eight aditional fraternities entered
the meet Monday. The entry list is
now eighteen, the same as last year.
Several fraternities in the meet last
year have not entered. Coach Schul
te said yesterday that it will be possi
ble for a fraternity to enter the meet
today and make up the events run off
yesterday.
A study of the results yesterday
shows that every team scored in the
shotput, which requires less prepara
tory training than the track events.
In the mile run, which requires some
weeks of training, the results were
not so good. Six teams failed to
qualify at all for the mile run, and
the scores made by the rest were low.
Detailed results are posted on the
Armory bulletin board.

Decide Universities too Complacent
About Spiritual Life of Students
Representatives at Foreign
Mission Convention Dis
cuss Their Problem.
That the schools and universities
of the United States are too compla
cent in regard to spiritual life and
that the spiritual side of life is not
given adequate attention were the
sentiments of the student representa
tives at the Foreign Mission Conven-
ion of the United States and Canada,
held in Washington, D. C, January
28 to February 2, according to Beu
lah Sundell, '25, Omaha, who was the
Nebraska representative.
The primary purpose of the con
vention was to enlarge and deepen
the realisation of foreign missionary
responsibilities and obligations.
Five thousand people attended the
meeting. Only one hundred were stu
dents. Numerous speakers from all
over the world discussed the prob
lems of the mission field. President
Coolidge voiced the assertion that
"Missions could rise no higher than
their sources" and brought out the
fact that America is too prone to

that although we have much to give
to these foreign peoples we also
have much to learn from them.
It was reported that the Christian
missionary forces are slowly showing
returns for their toil. In Turkey the
conditions are growing better and a
new leadership is being brought to
light as a result of the Christian mis
sionary movement. The people of
the near-East are more plastic than
they were before. Polygamy is con
sidered bad form, women are lifting
the veils from their faces, and the
curtains are being taken down from
between the men and women in the
street cars.
In Korea, the conditions are be
coming so improved that the mission
aries are planning to leave the work
in charge of the natives. In China,
however, the field for mission work
remains a large one.

TIPTON AND COODSON
LEAD IN THE SCORING
Using a fast attack against a fast
attack, the Nebraska capers last
night won from Grinnell in a hard
game on the Armory floor, S 5 to 29.
The Grinnell team gave Nebraska
a hard fight and for a while in the
closing minutes of play looked as if
it would turn the tide of victory their
way. The Cornhuskers led during
the first half and at half-mark had
the score on their side,.20-ll.
Grinnell attempted their comeback
after ten minutes of the last period
had slipped by. Goals by Chase and
Gelvin of the visitors cut down the
score to 31-24 in favor of Nebraska.
With six minutes to play Coach Kline
substituted Smaha and Klepser for
Usher and Black at forwards, and
Andreson for Goodson at center.
The Grinnell score continued to
mount and stopped only at 31-27.
Playing a stalling game the Huskers
staved off defeat and added a few
points to their score.
The game started with a rush.
Vols scored within the first thirty
seconds of play. Gelvin, Grinnell
captain, tied with a pair of free
throws on Goodson's foul.
Coach Kline had started a new
combination on the floor in Smaha
and Eckstrom as forwards. Smaha,
high-point man in the Oklahoma
game, got a pretty basket when he
received a hard pass on a dead run
and shot a neat one from the side.
Both teams showed some pretty
work in the first half. The Grinnell
basketeers were using a defense
which vied with that of Nebraska and
held scoring -down. The visitors were
not so well versed in offensive and in
that branch tendered the advantage
to Nebraska.
Coach Kline sent in Klepser and
Usher to form the forward wall in
place of Smaha and Eckstrom. This
combination finished the half and
started the second frame.
