'Tho Nebraska Alumnus Publishes
Reply To Emmett Mauris Letter
The letter written by Emmett
Maun on "The Inadequacy of My
University" has gained considerable
comment. Many individuals and pa
pers have replied to this letter which
was published in "The Nebraska
Alumnus." In replying to Mr. Maun's
letter, the Alumnus believes that the
lotter resolves itself about the ques
tion, "What Can the University Reas
onably Be Expected to Do for its
Students."
We believe tho alumnus who wrote
the letter last month is mistaken in
his conception of "What Can a LTan
Reasonably Expect from His Univer
sity?" largely because of three fac
tors. 1. Failure on the part of sec
ondary scholos- grade and high
schools- to clearly define the value
of a higher education. 2. The concep
tion the .public generally has regard
ing the. value of College education. 8.
A failure on the part of some Univer
sity instructors to explain and to
make clear the problems which the
student may expect to meet upon his
graduation.
Regarding the third point, alumni
generally will understand what if
meant. In the press of the duty of
teaching a particular course, some

HARRISON GIVES
VESPER TALK
Subject of Address Is "Wom
en's Responsibility In
. Abolishing War"
DISCUSSES CURE FOR WAR
Thomas Q. Harrison, secretary of
the Fellowship of the World for
Peace, spoke at Vespers Tuesday at
5 o'clock in Ellen Smith Hall on
"Women's Responsibility in Abol
ishing War." Sylvia Lewis led the
service and Inez Fossler played a vio
lin solo.
Mr. Harrison stated a number of
reasons why women tolerate war,
which are because they do not
know the real causes oi war;
because they do not under
stand the cures for war, be
cause they do not realize the prog
ress that the world has made in out-
Jawing war, and- because they do not
realize the hatred of war and the
longing of nations of the world for
world fellowship.
"Women of the world," stated
Mr. Harrison," do not know that the
real causes of war are conflicting
economic conditions. You can trace
the foreign policy of any nation by
the one or more of the five or six
necessary raw materials which they
lack. During the war two-thirds oi
the world was distributing raw ma
terials peacefully among them
selves so why cannot all of the
world do this peacefully now?" ques
tioned the speaker.
In disc jssing the cures for war the
speaker suggested that all of the dis
putes among the nations be brought
hefnre the world organization for
that purpose and that arbitration of
disputes be carried on in the open.
Must Outlaw War Between Nations.
"We do not realize," asserted the
speaker "the enormous growth of
the policy of outlawing war. We
have outlawed war between cities,
and now the only thing to do is to
outlaw war between nations." Re
ligion, cannot in another war uphold
the principles of warfare, nor can
the churches bless war. A million
men were killed at the front while
three million were killed behind the
front We cannot carry on such
a thing as war again between men
who are all sons of God and broth
ers together and ask for the church
es' blessings.
The speaker stressed the point that
Americans did not realise the hatred
of war and the longing of otner na
tions of the weld for fellowship.
Recently the youth of Japan revolted
against militarism which, was espec
ially shown in the recent examina
tions for two hundred posts in the
army and navy. Instead of thou

a man to meet the problems life.
that the best educated man mav not i
be the man who has the most com

"First, the writer of tho letter
contended that the University last
spring "turned loose" nearly a thous
and young men and women "without
a word of advice, with hearts honest
ly believing that the world needed
them, with minds trained in methods
of study, crammed full of history,
philosophy, theory but absolutely un
trained to meet the world and its
problems." We do not believe the
author meant the words "absolutely
untrained to meet the world and its
problems" literally. No man who

STODEHTS PETITION
STATD LEGISLATURE
Georgia Undergraduates Want More
Money Appropriated to
Schools There.
(The New Student Service.)
Graduate students and members
of the two upper classes at the Uni
versity of Georgia moved to induce
the State Legislature to appropriate
more money for Georgia schools.
They unanimously adopted a resold
tion to that effect and sent it to the
lawmakers, now in special session.
Sent "without the suggestion or
even cognizance" or any university
official, the message pictures that
University "starved through the lack
of funds, hindered in the very worth
while services it is trying to give
forced always backward ana back
ward into a position of even greater
inferiority as compared with the
public supported institutions of other
states.",
Gently, the politicians are asked
to put aside back-scratching and log
rolling, and give the university im-
partisan attention: "Shall we tell you
what people in Georgia are saying?
They say that you are honest men
. . . But they are afraid 1 They are
afraid, not of your good intentions.
They are afraid that, here and there,
personal feelings will be allowed to
creep in. They are afraid that mo
tives.will de Jop less utterly unself
ish and generous and statesmanlike
than those which ought to dominate
your deliberations. . They are aLaid
that, among partisan and secondary
issues, the fundamental issues will be
strangled."
LARGER SQUAD
REPORTS FOR
GRID PRACTICE
Bearg Sends Seven Teams
Through Stiff Workout
Tuesday
TO EMPHASIZE PASSING
Overhead Game Will Receive Cener.
ous Attention! Husker Coach
" Not Satisfied
The second spring football practice
was held yesterday, and an increased
number of candidates turned out.
Coach Bearg was able to form about
seven teams of warirors. Drill of the
fundamentals was the main item on
the program. The men passed the
oval around to get loosened up.
Skeleton teams were formed, and
passing was drilled upon. Then a
good signal drill was indulged in, the
men perfecting a few good picked
formations and plays.
The coach talked to the men be
fore sending them, telling them of
the importance of spring practice,
and advising them to report as many
nights as possible for workouts. The
practices are being held on the field
just south of the sod field in the
stadium.
Coach Bearg said that a lot of
passing practice will be done this
spring. On last year's team no man
took a major part in the aerial at
tack. Stephens, Mandery, Rhodes,
Locke, Brown and Presnell all did
some flipping. Brown probably
showed up the best, doing especially
well in the Notre Dame game, when
he threw the pigskin twice to Avard
Mandery for nice gains. He has not
had much practice on long passes,
however.
Passing Game Is Potent Force.
The forward passing game is fast
becoming a potent force with some
teams. Dartmouth, in particular, in
the last two years has relied greatly
upon the overhead tactics. Their
brilliant success in this department
can be attributed chiefly to the ac
curate passing of Oberlander and
very well-trained and reliable men
on the receiving end. Oberlander
could place the oval in perfect posi
tion for an end or baelc gomg at a
dead run, to snatch out of the air.
They completed many long passes,
which would enable them to score.
The Husker receivers were last sea
son only ordinary, and Coach Bearg
will devote considerable time to the
development of art of pulling down
the ball while going at top speed.
This enables the receiver to elude
the defensive backs with greater ease.

Today is not the advent of Spring

HARRISON GIVES OPINION
Says Action Here Will Influence
Further Development; Omaha
Pastors Oppose It
The question of compulsory mili
tary training drew closer about the
campus Tuesday. One fraternity is
sued a resolution. Thomas Q. Harri
son of the Fellowship of Youth for
Peace movement arrived for a speak
ing engagement of a few day. In
Omaha the ministerial union passed
a resolution. Chancellor Samuel
Avery while having nothing further
to say stood firm by his first state
ment in favor of the training.
The Acacia fraternity passed reso
lutions Monday evening supporting
compulsory military training with
only one disenting vote in a member
ship of forty-three. The resolution
passed almost unanimously, express
ed the views of the fraternity mem
bers individually. It is given in en
tirety at the end of this story.
A resolution favoring abolishment
of compulsory military drill in state
educational institutions was passed
unanimously without debate at -the
weekly meeting of the Ministerial
Union of Omaha. Or. James A.
Crain, executive secretary of the
Union, introduced the resolution
which said that military training "is
contrary to the spirit of democracy
and that it violates the conscience of

BNGINEERS TEST
CONCRETE PIPES
Students Conduct Series of Experi
ments for the Department
of Public Works
The Department of Applied Me
chanics of the University has been
conducting a series of tests of high
way culverts for the Department of
Public Works of Nebraska. The
tests are being conducted in the uni
versity laboratories, and are part of
the regular work of the engineering
students.
It has been the general feeling
among engineers that the design of
reinforced concrete pipes as used in
highway construction in Nebraska
would not produce pipe of the re
quired strength. These series of
tests were undertaken to determine
just what 'strengths were being ob
tained. Forty pipes varying in size from
eighteen inches to forty-eight inches
have already been tested. Five of
these were of the flat-bottom D-shape
and the rest were circular. .
All of the circular pipes thus far
tested except five, have been manu
factured with a single line of rein
forcing. All circular pipes are being
tested by the three-edge bearing
method, and deflections are being ta
ken at each end, both vertically and
horizontally, for each load: move
ment. A new series of pipes, with two
lines of reinforcing, will be tested.
Some of these pipes have been manu
factured to show the effect of vary
ing the shell thickness and others for
the effect of varying the reinforcing.
The tested pipes have been submitted
by nine different manufacturers.
A summary of the results thus far
obtained was issued at the recent
meeting of the Concrete Institute In
Chicago and also by Professor G. R.
Chatbum when he attended the re
cent meeting in Chicago of Com
mittee C6 of the A. S. T. M. on drain
