DEBATE SEASON
CLOSES IN MEET
WITH GREIGHTON
Parliamentary Responsibility
- Is Subject of Closing
Debate of Season
fAYLOR PRAISES SPEAKERS
Presiding Officer Characterizes
Discussion as One of Best
, On Public Questions
University of Nebraska debaters
closed the 1927 season in Law 101
Thursday evening in a brilliantly
contested forensic engagement be
tween the Nebraska negative team
and a Creighton affirmative team on
the question, "Resolved: That the
government of the United States
should be changed to include the
principle of parliamentary responsi
bility." At the same time the Ne
braska affirmative team was debating
a Creighton negative team in Omaha.
Nebraska's closing debate at home
was characterized by H. G. Taylor,
chairman of the Nebraska railway
commission, who presided, as one of
the finest discussions on public ques
tions that he had heard. He compli
mented the six speakers on the con
tinued high level of excellence which
was maintained.
Carl F. Hansen, Archibald W;
Storms, and Lincoln Frost, Jr., rep
resented Nebraska in the home de
bate. The Nebraska debaters at
Omaha were George Johnson, John
P. McKnight, and Evert M. Hunt.
Creighton was represented in their
debate here by George Skow, George
Havel, and Philip Klutznuk.
Skow Opens Debate
George Skow opened the-debate
with the contention that the parlia
mentary form of government was
more efficient. Hansen countered for
Nebraska by pointing out that our
present system of government was
founded to meet the basic needs of
our people and that it has been de
veloped to meet our changing needs;
Havel, in carrying on the affirma
tive case attacked the bureauracy and
secrecy of the presidential form of
government and denied the danger of
instability on the part of the parlia
mcntary form.

New Members Installed in May
These new members will be in
stalled sometime in the early part of
May as soon as the A. W. S. per
sonnel work is completed. Since this
work is in charge of the old members
of the board, it is lelt that the work
will go more smoothly if kept in the
hands of the old committee. This per
sonnel work is one of the most impor
tant things that the A. W. S. board
accomplishes during the year. An ex
pert is to be secured from Chicago.
She will be here for several days to
give help and advice to all girls who
are in doubt as to ihe vocation they
will pursue. I

activities such as the Girls Cornhus
ker Party, the Co-Ed Follies, and
also presents a scholarship each year.

entire student body of women and
are thus representative of the school.

most of the similar organizations in
other schools bear this name.

Cyrena Smith Ruled
Eligible For P. B. K.
Another name, that of Cyrena
Georgia Smith, has been added to the
list of students receiving Phi Beta
Kappa honors, this year. This makes
a total of fifty elected. Mies Smith
was declared ineligible through a
misunderstanding in regard to the
date at which a new science require
ment went into effect.
A letter explaining the mistake was
received at the Nebraskan - office
Thursday morning from Prof. A. R.
Congdon. The letter follows: "Owing
to a misunderstanding concerning the
date at which a new science require
ment went into effect in the College
of Arts and Sciences, Miss Cyrena
Georgia Smith was ruled ineligible
for membership to Phi Beta Kappa,
but upon investigation it has been
found that she entered the University
before this new requirement went
into effect, and has, therefore, been
declared eligible and elected, makhfg
a total of fifty students elected this
year."
Cyrena Smith is a member of Mor
tar Board, a'nd was recently elected
to Pi Lambda Theta, Teachers Col
lege honorary. She is president of the
Y. W. C. A. and has been active in
that organization during the entire

University of Nebraska track and
field men are all set for their Califor

at 1:55. Definite announcement of
the men to make the trip is still being
withheld by Coach Henry F. Schulte
in the hopes that he can take twenty

Fraternities of the campus were
being asked Thursday evening to con

would raise money to send two
men on the California track trip,

the trip. The addition of these men
will give the Huskers a more bal
anced team and a better chance in
the three meets on the trip. Coach
Schulte is unwilling to announce the
team until it is known whether the
twenty-two men can go or whether
the squad will be forced to make the
trip with twenty men.'
Leaving after midnight tonight,
the Huskers will get into Denver at
2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, just
in time for their triangular meet with
Colorado Agricultural collecre and
Denver University. They will leave
Denver shortly after the meet and
tackle the University of New Mexico
at Albuquerque in a dual track and
field meet Monday afternoon. Then
the squad will resume its trip to the
coast and will face the University of -California
at Berkeley on Saturday
April 9 in one of the most important
intersectional track and field meets
of the 1927 season.
Locke Will Make Trip
Roland Locke will make the trip
with the rest of the squad, taking
part in exhibition races at the Husker
meets. The blond sprint ace hasn't
definitely announced that he will go
further than Denver but his friends
predict that once on the train they
could never get rid of him. Locke
is in shape again and is expected to
show the fans along the way some
real sprint work.
Captain Bobby Stephens is rapid

should be in good condition by the
time the squad hits California.
Stephens is figured on for the 100
yard dash and broad Jump. "Perly"
Wyatt and Frank Dailey will pro

with Krause possibly doubling back
in the 220 after his hurdle races.
