DEBATERS FROM NEBRASKA AND GRINNELL MEET i McNary-Haugen Bill Argued In Split-Team Forensic ' Battle NEGATIVE TEAM WINS Speaker. Delve Into Statistics Which Cause Spirited Rebuttals Representatives of Nebraska's and Grinnell's debate squads met Friday afternoon in a discussion of the question; "Resolved: That the essen tials of the McNary-Haugen Bill ,hould be enacted into federal law." The debate was lively and exceed ingly well presented, according to S. R. McKelvie, former governor of Nebraska, who complimented the speakers on their efforts. A vote by the audience showed that the nega tive side, represented by John A. Skiles, Nebraska, and Robert Burlin game, Grinnell, was favored over the affirmative team composed of Loron Reed, Grinnell, and Evert M. Hunt, Nebraska. Loren Keed, of Grinnell, opened the debate for the affirmative. He cited several examples to show the deplorable condition of farming in this country because of the large number of bank failures recently. He showed that if a bill such as the McNary-Haugen bill were passed, the condition of the country would be relieved, due to the introduction of an equalization fee. He gave exam pies and statistics as proof for his statements. Skiles Attack Statement John Skiles, Nebraska negative man, took the platform. He attacked Reed's statements, contending that the principles of the McNary-Haugen bill are economically unsound and that by its introduction the farmers would not be relieved, but rather be in a worse condition than before. His main arguments were supported by figures to show how the proposed bill would work out if passed. The second affirmative speaker. Evert M. Hunt of Nebraska, dwelt (Continued on Page Two.)

Collins Speaks Today in Commemoration of The Death o f Newton Today at five o'clock at the Uni versity Club, bookloVers will com memorate the two-hundredth anni versary of the death of Sir Isaac Newton, perhaps the greatest scien tist the world has ver known, yet perhaps the most modest, remarking shortly before he died, "I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea shore and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all un discovered before me." Serie to Cloie Curator F. G. Collins, of the Uni versity Museum, who opened the readers' hour with a dramatic sketch by Alfred Noyes, the British poet, of a historic meeting at Oxford that ruled Charles Darwin out of the company of polite thinkers, will close the series this afternoon with a sim ilar reading from "The Torch Bear ers", presenting the story of the great British scientist who saw in the falling apple the falling spheres, and formulated the most significant math ematical law that has ever been con ceived by the mind of man. All men interested in good books are invited to the readings. The ser ies will be resumed in the fall with a notable group of leaders.

Lowe who is one of the best exponents of the art of mural paint ing in this country ; Dwight W. Tryon who is noted for his poetic interpre tations of nature ; and, Carleton Wig gins, the most distinguished painter of cattle and sheep in the United States. "Autumn" by Anton Mauve, the Dutch painter, is done in a mellow tone so characteristic of that paint er's work. He is known for his land scapes with animals, and this pic- (Continued on Page Two.)

This is the first time that a Prom Girl has been selected at the Univer sity of Nebraska. The selection, based upon the most representative social senior woman, was determined by a vote of the men attending the party. - The votes were counted by members of the Prom Committee and the name was made known at tbe intermission PROM BRINGS TO CLOSE SEASON'S FORMAL EVENTS Some Four Hundred Couples Take Part In Revival of Prom Tradition OMAHA GIRL IS HONORED Elice Holovtchiner Chosen From Senior Women As First Prom Girl The Junior-Senior Prom, the first affair of its kind to be held on the Nebraska campus for five years, fit tingly closed the formal season, Fri day evening, at the Coliseum, when some four hundred couples attended the party. Miss Elice Holovtchiner, of Omaha, was presented as the first Nebraska Prom girl. Voting for the Prom girl was limited to men attending the event; balloting was done direct ly on the Prom tickets. Lists of sen ior women were published in The Daily Nebraskan and any senior wo man in the university was eligible. Sylvia Lewis, Joyce Adair, Margaret Edwards, and Blossom Hilton were close competitors for the honor. Miss Holovtchiner was introduced to the dancers at the intermission and pre sented with a bouquet of roses. Mo tion pictures of the Prom girl pre sentation, those dancing at the party, the chaperones, and the committee in charge were taken during the eve ning and will be shown not only in Lincoln but throughout the country. Many Decoration Feature The Coliseum was decorated with spring blossoms and smilax on a background of rose and feTeen which lined the balcony. The rain bow lighting effects were so ar ranged and designed as to make the floor appear smaller. A large foun tain banked with smilax was installed in the center of the stage, while at the opposite end of the floor was a smaller one. The plan of decora tions was laid to follown old-fashioned garden court and carried the note of the spring season. Tracy Brown's Oklahomnn3, of Omaha, and Beck's orchestra of Lin coln, furnished muic for the party. Clever souvenir programs bearing the Nebraska crest were given as favors. No Prom Held for Five Year The Junior Senior Prom idea was revived this year by the Junior class and its decided success Friday eve ning will probably make it a future tradition.

Landscape Paintings Will Be on Display March 19 to April 1 A collection of landscape paintings by Victor Charreton, the French ar tist, will be on display from March 19 to April 1 in the art galleries of Morrill Hall. Charreton's art is individual, reti cent and romantic. Much of his work is gay. and joyous, but contains also a touch of somberness. His technical understanding of the art of painting gives life to his canvasses and keeps away any touch of monotony. His color harmonies are as high-pitched as those of Monet. Spring is the sea son which brings out the beauty of his palette, he shows us brilliant things which never were in any earth ly spring, yet somehow seem to be right and proper. Charreton is not e leader of the modernistic movement nor does he follow cautiously in the beaten track. He paints, in an indi vidual way, subjects which no one else has and paints them well. Es pecially are his French country-sider lovely and fresh. Last year an exhibition of this ar tist was held here and the present ex hibit confirms the favorable impres sions given by his work when it was first shown here.

DEBATERS MIX WITH PIONEERS Cornhusker Follower of Forensic In Split-Team Contest With lowan at Grinnell Grinnell, la., March 19. (Special to The Daily Nebraskan.) Forensic contests between Nebraska and Grin nell were inaugurated here last eve ning in a spirited spliMeam debate on the question, "Resolved: That the essentials of the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill should be enacted in to Federal law." An audience vote before and after the debate indicated a change of sentiment to the negative by a point score of 25 to 7.
