In The Past
Resolutions defending the Nation
al Defense Act of 1920 and the R. O.
T. C. as an integral Prt of the
system, and declaring them consist
ent with the ideals of the American
people were passed unanimously by
the Lincoln District Unit of the Re
serve Officers Asscociation in their
monthly meeting at the Grand Ho
tel last night.
The resolutions followed short
talks by five representative students
of the University, Messrs. Craig, Har-
rington, O'Connell, Wehmer, and
Webster, all of whom expressed the
opinion that a small portion of the
student body was in sympathy with
the movement recently inaugurated
to abolish compulsory drill here.
Lieutenant-Colonel F. F. Jewett, the
commandant of the Nebraska R. O.
T. C unit, delivered the principal
address of the evening discussing the
provision of the preamble to the Con
stitution "To Provide For the Com
mon Defense."
Lack of Preparedness It Evil
Colonel Jewett pointed out the
essential Americanism of defense, of
preparations which guarantee the
integrity of the things held most dear
by all. He pointed out the evils
brought on this country in the past
by lack of preparedness and showed
the effect on training capable lead
ers, the abolition of compulsory drill
would have.
During the discussion the move
ment was declared to be a nalional
movement receiving substantial sup
port from agencies reeognizedly op
posed to American institutions dur
ing the course of the discussion in
regard to the support of youth in the
seeking abandonment of compulsory
drill.
Aid From Government
Judge George A. Eberly of the
State Supreme Court and a Lieutenant-Colonel
of infantry reserves call
ed atention to the fact that the land
grant institutions had accepted a
substantial gjijt from the Federal
government with the agreement to
fulfill certain obligations. As long
as we keep this trust fund, he de
clared, we are bound to keep the
trust which means no less than loyal
support of compulsory drilL He de
clared that it was the duty of every
faculty member, every student, and
every citizen, so long as they were
willing to make use of this trust
fund, to loyally support the agree
ment under which it was granted.
The resolutions which were unani
mously acepted by the Reserve Offi
cers Association v.-;re drawn up by a
committee composed of Dean O. J.
Ferguson, Major, Signal Corps; Mr.
Ralph P. Wilson, Major, Judge Ad
vocate; Judge E. B. Chappell, Cap
tain, Judge Advocate; Dr. T. J.
Thompson, Captain, Chemical War
fare; and Mr. Archer L. Burnham,
Lieutenant-Colonel Infantry, The
resolutions were as follows:
Resolution Paed
"Whereas, the National Defense
Act as adopted by the Con
gress in June 1920 is a constructive
military policy consistent with the
ideals of a free people, and,
"Whereas, the R. 0. T. C. is an in
tegral part of this defense plan, and,
"Whereas, the R. O. T. C. has
within the training it offers the ele
ments of man-building discipline so
much-needed today,
"Therefore, be it resolved by the
Lincoln District Unit of the Re
serve Officers Association, in regu
lar meeting assembled that the con
tinuance of compulsory military
training at the University of Nebras
ka has our unqualified approval and
rapport."
The address of the evening deliv
ered by Lieutenant-Colonel F. F.
Jewett of the University R. O. T. C.

ARI1Y BOARDS START
MOTION TODR
Nebraska Has Attained Distinguished
College Rating For the Past
Two Years
The army inspection boards which
annually inspect R. O. T. C. units
for distinguished college ratir.g this
week started on their tours. Three
of the boards will inspect college
units in the three army areas of the
United States; another will inspect
the military schools; and the third
army board, which will come to Ne
braska some time in May, started this
week in Arkansas, and -will swing
through the southern border states
to California, and then back here
through the north central states.
The University of Nebraska has
attained distinguished college rating
for two successive years. The board
which will inspect the Husker cadets
willl be composed of Lieutenant Col
onel Lewis Brown, Jr., cavalry, on
duty in the office of the chief of
cavalry; and Major Martin C. Wise,
on duty with the general staff, G-l.
Creighton University in Omaha is
being inspected this year for the first
time, since the unit was organized
there four years ago.
Convocation Held For
Students of Pharmacy
The Pharmacy students held a
special convocation this morning
at 10 o'clock. The objert of the
meeting was to organize in pre
paration for Pharmacy week.
Short talks were made by fac
ulty members. Mr. iBukey, Mr.
Lewton, Professor Burt, and Dean
Lyman. Melvin D. Gully, chair
man of Pharmacy week, Donald
Dunbar, and E. Elgie Calvin also
gave short talks.
RENAISSANCE OF
YOUTH IS TOPIC
OF FORUM TALK
Thomas Q. Harrison Declares
We've Got to Learn to
Live Together
LARGE CROWD ATTENDED
New Spirit Sweeping Over Countries j
Views of Eminent Students
Are Conflicting
"The greatest factor in the renais
sance of youth," declared Thomas Q.
Harrison in his address, "The World
Wide Renaissance of Youth," deliv
ered before the World Forum yester
day noon, "is the realization that
weve got to learn to live together."
The weakness of the youth movement
in America was pointed out.
Mr. Harrison opened by telling of
a group of former British soldier" in
the London slums who had rcver had
a common school education who were
discussing their problems. Their
crying question according to Mr. Har
rison was "what are the youth of
America thinking of these prot
eins ?"
Youth Spirit Everywhere
He then called attention to the new
spirit of youth sweeping other coun
tries. At a conference last year
near Paris, representatives of eleven
countries met to discuss methods of
bringing a stop to war. He told how,
the German and French youth were
hand in hand in their sincerity to
bring about a new era of internation
al relations. And after the confer
ence was over, he said, they went
back to carry the- new message to
the youth of their countries, a mes
sage of cooperation in international
problems.
Mr. Harrison then pointed out the
conflicting views of eminent stu
dents. He pointed out the challenge
of Professor Lothrop Stoddard of
Harvard that the yellow peril threat
ened the white world with war and
destruction. Then he turned to other
authorities of high standing who pro
claimed that the Nordic white peril
threatened war and destruction.
Both, he showed, predicted war be
tween the two races, 't 'is the
problem of the war situation," he
said, 'which confronts students to
day. 'Glen Frank, recently Selected as
president of the University of Wis
consin, has pointed out that we have
the. opportunity to go forward to a
new rennaissance or the alternative
of a lapse into a new dark ages." In
this regard Mr. Harrison pointed out
the inabality of our waging a suc
cessful drawn out war. He showed
that "a low birth-rate and high civil
ization cannot compete with a high
birth-rate and a low civilization in a
drawn-out struggle. As H. G. Wells
has said, 'It is a race between educa
tion and annihiliation.' " Mr. Harri
son pointed out that the problem was
to advance education and justice
ahead of the tendency toward des
truction.
"We must," he challenged, "ac
quire economic and political inter
nationalism or go down." !
Peace Movement in Germany
Mr. Harrison then pointed out the
rapid spread of the youth movement
in other countries as observed by him
recently. "In Germany," he said,
"I was amazed at the extent of the
peace movement. The University
students there are often militaristic
but the masses are for peace." j
"Youth wants to tell the world
that there is a better way to settle
disputes than with the bayonet and
shell-fire. The youths who came out
of the war see it in its real light.
In the midst '-of war nothing could
be done. It is only now when we
are out of hate and hell of modem

Open-Forum Discussion Follows
Nebraska will uphold the affirma
tive of the inter-state contest on the
Regulation of Child Labor by Con
gress. As in former years an open
forum discussion will be held follow
ing the debate in the form of a give-and-take
rebuttal with the audience
questioning the speakers on points
brought out during the formal argue
ment. The 'question, "Should Congress
Be Given Power to Regulate Child
Labor?" is indeed a live one, and it
is expected that several instructors
will make class assignments covering
the subject as brought out by the
speakers next Wednesday evening.
The ticket sales committee com
posed of Wendell Cameron, Richard
Brown, John Allison, Eldred Larson,
Kenneth Cook, and Robert Hoagland,
has appointed sorority and fraternity
representatives to manage the sale
of tickets in each house on the cam
pus and it is expected that many
group reservations will be made fol
lowing the Greek meetings early
next week. The complete list of
ticket sellers will be published Fri
day. RIFLE TEAM WINS
ONCE, LOSES TWICE
Victory Over Dennison Added To the
Defeats by Cinncinatti and
Illinois Universities
The University rifle team dropped
their matches with Illinois and the
University of Cinncinatti, and won
from Dennison University, according
to the reports received today.
Nebraska's score for last week was
3682. Their most crushing defeat
was at the hands of the University
of Cinncinatti's team, which turned
in a record of 3821. Scalise of that
institution shot for a phenomenal
score of 39, missing one point in his
standing score from a perfect record.
The Illinois score was 3786, and the
Dennison score 3223.
Students of Pharmacy
Subscribe for Fund
The students of the College of
Pharmacy have subscribed $1725
to a million dollar fund which is
being raised to build a headquar
ters in some central location in the
United States. This will house
the head of activities of the ten
piituiiiaceulicai organizati is that
exist in the United Stau-J.
On a total occasion the phar
macy students have subscribed
$500, making a total of $2225.
The Pharmaceutical students of
the United States have to date
subscribed $100,000. $25,000 of
this has been paid, and better than
$600,000 of the million dollar to
tal has been raised.
Mr. E. S. Slater of the Uni
versity of Minnesota was present
on our campus last week in the
ted and fostered by the American
interest of the campaign, origina

SPRING GRID
PRACTICE IS
SATISFACTORY
, Football Squad Prepare for
I o.ii c : a i.
Ran Signals
SEVENTY-FIVE PRESENT
Tackles Must Be Developed To Fill
Weir's Position as Freshmen
Are Inelegihle
Coach E. E. Bearg sent his football
squad through a good workout Wed
nesday afternoon. The men were
still loosening up their muscles, and
preparing for earnest scrimmage.
A good deal of passing was done, and
the punters were training their toes.
Marrow, Kahler, Krall, Bronson, and
Presnell did the punting, and all of
them showed up fairly well, Bron
soii, Krall and Presnell especially)
Passing practice, with Bronson, Kah
ler, Presnell and Marrow tossing the!
oval consumed a good portion of the
time. The linemen were given some
blocking practice, as a part of the
forward passing game. The men
were divided up into two teams, and
ran signals for a good while.
Scrimmage Starts Saturday
Spring practice so far seems very
satisfactory. Yesterday there were
about seventy-five men present. A
large number of these are unexepri
enced, but they will all be given a
good chance to show what their. abili
ties are. Forwarding pass plays are
being worked on, in preparation for
actual scrimmage, which will prob
ably start on Saturday, according to
Coach Bearg.
One problem which confronts the
Husker mentor for next fall's varsity
is the development of tackles. Ed
Weir's position will be a hard one to
fill. Lonnie Stiner, the captain-el'
ect, has a bad knee and a slight in
jury may put him on the sick list any
time. The best prospects for this
position are Stiner and Molzen, a
relief tackle last year who saw some
action in games. The regular fresh
men tackles, Craig and Richards, are
both ineligible for competition next
season, so all men of any promise will
be given close attention.

not turned in at the office. It is
very important that these stories be
completed in the near future as the
section is about ready to go to press.
The write-ups are to be about two
hundred words in length. They

RELAY TEAMS
WORK OUTSIDE
Practice " in Passing Baton to
Overcome Fatal Mistake
Of Last Year
KANSAS FIRST, APRIL 17
With the track men taking to the
outdoor track for their workouts,
Coach Schulte is preparing for two
relay teams which are expected to
come close to world records this
spring. In the 440-yard and mile
relays the men composing them are
unusually fast. One world's record
could have been hung up last year
but a slip of the baton was fatal for
the team. The practice this early is
in passing the baton and it is hoped
that this will overcome this mishap.
The teams that were doing the
passing Wednesday night were: Dav
enport, Wyatt, Dailey, and Locke.
The other men who must be consid
ered in making up the team are Hein,
Reese, and Lewis.
The slip up of trips to the Texas
relays will cut the squad out of a
chance to compete there, but plenty
of competition will be encountered at
The Kansas and Drake ralays. The
latter is one of the great meets of
the outdoor season, and Nebraska will
have to exert herself to win.
The outdoor season opens with
the Kansas relays April 17; then Ne
braska will go to the Drake relays.
Dual meets with other valley schools
will be run and the final meet is the
Missouri Valley meet here in Lin
coln. ACKBRT LECTDRES
ABOUT PARASITES
Hook and Tape Worm Most Danger
ous to Human Beings; Illus
trated by Series of Slides
"The hook and tape worm are the
most dangerous of human para
sites," declared Dr. James E. Ackert,
dean of the Graduate School of Kan
sas State Agricultural College and
an eminent zoologist in an address
given Wednesday evening before the
members of the Phi Sigma society
on "The Parasites of Man."
"Great research has recently dis
closed many valuable develcpaients
in the work cf medical zoology," Dn
Ackert pointed out. In 1923 a brill
iant young physician by the name
of Leighty became interested in par
asites of man and animals and for
ten years he studied exclusively in
this field. In 1891 Theobald Smith
discovered fever in cattle and with
the aid of a Nebraska man by the
name of Ward, a trained chemist,
did much in the stamping out of the
dreaded disease.
Dr. Ackert illustrated his lecture
with a series of slides. An open dis
cussion followed the address.

Meanwhile, judjrinjr from the stor
ies appearing in the bier dailies of
the state, there is more interest be
ing displayed in the matter out in tha
state than among the students on
the campus. The Omaha papers this
week carried almost every day stor
ies on the discussions, besides print-'
ing resolutions and editorials. The
action of Accacia fraternity in vot
ing 42 to 1 in favor of drill was given
front page setting in the Omaha
World-Herald. Lincoln papers have,
likewise given the matter attention.
Others Endorse Move
Alpha Chi Sigma fraternity Wed
nesday unanimously endorsed the
Acacia resolution in favor of com
pulsory drill. Pi Kappa Phi an
nounced Wednesday evening that a
poll in their trroun indicated the same
attitude in favor of compulsory drilL
Fourteen members of the executive
committee of Omaha Post No. 1, Am,
erican Legion, adopted a resolution
Wednesday in support of compulsory
drill at the University of Nebraska.
The resolution called for appropriate
action at the next monthly post
meeting.
From Fremont a lengthy statement
by the commander of the Veterans
of the Foreign Wars, Guy Seward, in
strong favor of keeping" the drill was
put on the wires of the news service.
He declares the attack on eomoulsorv
drill at Nebraska was only a part of
an organized movement of pacifism
that threatens to sweep the nation.
Meant Life in War
"Too many of our buddies paid
with their lives as a result of this
same sentiment that would abolish
military drill in our state institution,"
declared the commander.
In the State Journal was printed
today a long letter by Frank D. Ea
ger, department commander, United
Spanish War Veterans, in which he
deplores the lack of preparedness
from his experiences in Cuban fight
ing, and comes out vigorously in fa
vor of R. O. T. C. training. The
letter is given at the end of this
story.
While the voluntary drill forces
are getting their campaign under
way. Colonel Jewett, commandant
of cadets, has received within the
past two weeks eighteen commenda
tory letters from alumni who took
military science. All the letters are
full of praise for the actual benefits
the authors think they derived from
taking the military course, especially
the advanced sections.
Letters From Old Crads
"Anyway, when my two-year-old
son goes to college he will take fom?
years of military work, if I can In
fluence him to do it," writes Ernest
IL Hickman, of Bartlesville. Okla
homa, in closing a page-and-a-half
letter.
W. E. Flake, superintendent at
Stanton, writes in part: "To me. as
far as I look back over my university
life, I feel that the work taken in
the Military Department has bad
a greater influence on me than any
other course taken while at the Uni
versity. Instead of causing me to
favor militarism, the reaction has
been entirely opposite. The drill
gave us a much needed exercise and
corected slovnely habits of personal
appearance, but the greatest value
in the military training, is its dis
ciplinary training."
. "If try experiences with Military
work had only taught me how to re
ceive and give orders, I would count
the time I spent on it more than
worth while," writes Herbert Rath-
sack, '24, Omaha,
