Professor August Charles Krey of the University of Minnesota opened the meetinir Friday morning with an address at the convocation held by the students and faculty of the Uni versity History Department in the Social Science auditorium. The Lin coln teachers who met Friday after noon at the McKinley school, and those who attended the annual dinner that evening at the University Clcb had the pleasure of hearing Profes sor Krey. After the addresses given Satur day morning, the question was raised as to how history laboratories were to be equipped. It is true. Professor Krey explain ed, that there have been great sums spent on the equipment of these lab oratories without any apparent bene fit. The larsre schools, however, were able to furnish their laborator ies on such a scale as to show results, where th smaller schools could not. Fees did help to overcome this diffi culty, lit they, as a rule were too Ismail to cover expenses. The real Hiffirultv lav in the fact that social I , i. .rn. In sciences can xiu kc fc"w fses that other sciences do." PAY-UP DRIVE IS SUCCESSFUL Nebraska Memorial Associa tion Pleased by Manner in Which Pledges Are Paid. GREEK LETTER FRATS Help in collecting The following statement, was au thorized by the Nebraska Memorial Association Saturday afternoon: "The result of the stadium pay-up campuign is, very gratifying. For the most part, the fraternities and sororities entered into the problem of clearing up their stadium delin quencies with the same spirit that they entered the campaign to secure pledges in the fall of 1922. "The percentages listed below are based on the result of the pay-up campuign to clear up the amount that was delinquent in each fraternity and sorority on Monday, April 27. Those organizations which secured either cash or time draft for the total amount that was delinquent . last Monday are listed as 100 per cent. Those which secured only a part of the amount due, in cash or in time drafts, are listed according to the percentages of the delinquency that was cleared up by Saturday. "To the individuals in the various fraternities should go miih credit for the splendid work accomplished Those fraternities which show a small percentage of the amount due cleared up in the form of cash or time drafts evidently did not enter into the spirit of the campaign with the seriousness which the problem warranted. It is indeed regrettable that three fraternities failed to take enough interest in the matter to even make a response. "During the coming week a per sonal solicitation campaign will be conducted among all students still delinquent in an effort to clear up the entire amouqt outstanding at present. Each student who is delin quent will be visited in an effort to secure either the cash or a time draft. We can only hope that the response during the coming week will be as gratifying as during the week just closed."

GARNER MAKES TWO ADDRESSES Speaks to Phi Beta Kappa-Sig ma Xi on Education in In ternational Affairs. IS AN AUTHORITY ON INTERNATIONAL PEACE Dr. James W. Garner gave two addresses at the University Friday. In the morning, he spoke to a Univer sity convocation on the subject "Pro posals for International Peace" and in the evening, he delivered the an nual Phi Beta Kappa-Sigma Xi ad dress on the topic "Education in In ternational Affairs." D; Garner al so spoke at a banquet given in his honor by the Faculty Club on Thurs day evening. The speaker at his address Friday evening pointed out that the contro' of foreign affairs lies no longer in the hands of a few diplomats but in the people. "Public opinion, that im mense force, is now controlling inter national affairs," he stated. He out lined the weaknesses of the present sy8em, making three general criti cisms, . x Dr. Garner declared that in the first place, the people were not in terested ii foreign affairs enough and that this fault had always been an American one. In the second place, he stated that the public was very poorly trained to control such an important thing. Education, he pointed out, was the important thing. Education of the people to a stand ard commensurate with their present power, he pointed out, is one of the big problems facing the country to day. As a third point, Dr. Garner said lhat the public was too apt to be prejudiced. Prof. Maurice Weseen introduced the speaker in the evening to' an audience that filled the lower floor of the Temple.

BIZAD DAY IS BIG SUCCESS Annual Festivity Day Is Fea tured by Parade and Spring Party at K. C. Hall. Bizad Day, the annual holiday of the students of the College of Busi ness Administration, began Friday morning at 10:00 o'clock with a par ade through the business streets by the students and was brought to a successful finish by the spring party held at the K.

Boxing and wrestling matches, a tug-of-war and' other amusements made the picnic enjoyable. One of the big drawing cards on the pro gram was a boxing match between two of the women Bizads. Some dis covered it was not impossible to dance on the grass and did this to the music of the band. The feature event of the day was a baseball game in which the Bizad team defeated the freshman team from Wesleyan University by a score of 6 to 5. Both teams played a tight game and the' score was tied at the end of the ninth inning. It was necessary, tc play thirteen in nings before the Bizads scored the winning run. After the lunch I. J.

He will lead in discussion of various problems in extension work. The matter of combining radio lectures with courses for credit, which is being tried at Nebraska, will probably be brought up. This is an innovation in this country. MANY ATTEND PRE-MEDIG DAY Deans Cutter and Keegan Are Speakers at Dinner Given at University Club.

Locke won the 100 yard dash in 9.9 after a bad start, and took the 220 with little competi tion in 21.4. About fifteen yards from the finish he glanced over his shoulder to view the rest of the pro cession. Apparently the observation was satisfactory, for he coasted the rest of the way. Taylor beat Ed Weir in the high hurdles, but was forced to clear the sticks in 14.8 to win. Close 'competi tion was offered him in the 220-yard hurdles by Locke, who ran neck and neck with the Olympic champion un til next to the last hurdle, when the Husker flash tripped and fell. Tay lor finished an easy first in 23.4, within three-tenths of the world's record. His high hurdle performance was within two-fifths of a second of the world's record. Weir hit a hur dle in this event and re-opened a . wound in his knee received at the Drake relays. , Wirsig, Nebraska pole-vaulter, also turned in a good record, clearing the pole ft 12 feet, 7 1-2 inches. The record was made after competition was over and does not stand as a var sity record. Wirsig tried to clear 13 feet but was unable to do it. Rhinefort of Grinnell hurled the discus 141 feet even, almost six feet better than the Valley record of 135 feet 6 inches held by Richerson of Missouri. Rhinefort won third at the Drake relays. Rhinefort also won the shot-put. Locke had an excellent chance to beat Taylor in the low hurdles when he tripped on a hurdle and fell, slid ing several feet but receiving no seri ous injury. Taylor slowed better form on the hurdles, but Locke's tre mendous sprint gave him an advar tage between the barriers that about evened matters. The Huskers showed marked su periority in the half mile and the 4-10. In the half, Nebraska won all the places, Houderscheldt, Ross, and Lewis crossing the finish line in the order named. Captain Crites sprint ed at the finish and overtook Scher- ich in the 440, the two Huskers fin ishing in a dead heat. The relay, last event on the pro gram, furnished plenty of thrills, even though it could not change the outcome of the meet. Dailey, Husk er lead-off man, gained a lead of three yards on Kitchen, colored run ner. Reese, the second Husker, lost ground and finished even with Stotts. Scharnweber of Grinnell pulled out ahead of Beckord, giving Jones, (Continued on Page Two.) Takes Examination For Doctor's Degree The examination of Cyrus Vance Williams for the degree o.
