DEBATERS FROM

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

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.

many first class artists.
Thomas Hovendon of the American
School is represented by one of his

Miss Elice Holovtchiner, Nebraska's first Prom Girl, who" was chosen
day evening at the Junior-Senior Prom. 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. Parties of this kind were
held several years ago, but for var
ious reasons have been discontinued
and not for five years prior to this
year has Nebraska had a Junior-Senior
Prom.

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.
EXTENSION CODRSE
OFFERED RETAILERS
Business Administration College Will
Conduct Merchandising Course
For Fremont Men
The College of, Business Adminis
tration of the University of Nebras
ka, through Dean J. E. LeRossignol,
will conduct a short course in mer
chandising for the business men of
Fremont, which will offer an oppor
tunity for retailers interested in bet
ter merchandising methods.

the lines of an institute, or school,
and is but one of the many examples
of the work the University is doing
in extension activities.
Martin and Blood to Aid
Prof. O. R. Martin, chairman of
the department of business organiza
tion and management and Prof. F, C.
Blood in charge of advertising and
sales management will assist Dean Le
Rossignol in putting on the work of
the institute. The first meeting will
be held on Tuesday evening, March
22. It will be in charge of Prof,
Blood, a nationally known authority,
and the subject to be discussed is
"Selling by Advertising." It is not
Prof. Blood's idea to give a lecture
on the subject but to present praa
tical illustrations of the application
of the principles and rules underlying
this phase of business as a means of
opening the subject for discussion.
The retailer will be given an oppor
tunity to present the problems he is
meeting in the every day conduct of

PLAKERS WILL
CLOSE SEASON
Shakespeare's "Merchant Of
Venice" To Be Given as
Last Production
YEAR IS SUCCESSFUL ONE
The University Players will close
their regular season with Shake
speare's "Merchant of Venice", to be i
given March 24, 25, and 26, at the
Temple Theater. The presentation
of this play marks the end of eleven
successful years of Players activities.
Recipts show that attendance at Uni
versity plays has been greater this
year- than in former years.
The "Merchant of Venice," by
William Shakespeare, is well known
to students of literature and drama
tics. Shylock, the Jew, has been por
trayed by great actors of every age
since the role was created. Antonio,
Bassanio, and lovely Portia, are char
acters familiar to theater-goers.
Shakespeare has, in this comedy,
drawn some of the finest characters
of literature. The Players feel that
this will be a fitting climax to their
season.
Student season tickets may be
used for this play the same as for
others. Seats will be on sale at the
Ross P. Curtice store. Matinees will
be given Friday and Saturday at 2:30
as usual. This will be the last chance
to see the Players in their regular
performances this season.

Prof. T. T. Smith, instructor in ex
perimental physics will speak on "Op
tical Engineering." There are a num
ber of fields in engineering which are
not ordinarily thought of in connec
tion with engineering work; one of
these fields is that of Optical Engin
eering. The work consists of the de
sign and construction of optical in
struments and their adaptation to
various problems. Professor Smith
has had considerable experience in
this field, and his address will be of
interest to ineii in all field of engin
eering and scientific work.

Cornhusker Follower of Forensic
In Split-Team Contest With

Grinnell, la., March 19. (Special

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.
David Fellman, Nebraska, and
Ray Cleland, Grinnell, upheld the af
firmative with Lawrence Lunden,
Grinnell, and Munro Kezer, Nebraska,
defending the negative. The debate
was declared by students and faculty
members to be the best heard here
this year. David Fellman's explana
tion of the McNary-Haugen bill was
declared by the chairman, debate
squads, and audience to have been
one of the finest expositions ever pre
sented from a Grinnell debate plat
form. .
Split-System Used First Time
This was the first time the split-
team system was used here. The de
bate last night concluded Grinnell's
discussion of farm relief. The Pioneer
team will meet Harvard University
here in April, debating the question,
"Resolved: That education is the
curse of the age" to close the sea
son. Nebraska debaters were enter
tained duirng the day by members of
the Grhiur. auudn, and at an im
promptu daiice in one of the school's
recreation rooms following the de
bate. The Cornhusker team left for
Lincoln shortly after midnight
