HUNGER SPEAKS
AT CONVOCATION
English Court System Is Topic
Of District Judge in Talk
To Law Students
BRITISH LAW IS SPEEDY
Wish the main room of the Law
College nearly filled to its capacity
with interested students, Judge T. C.
Munger, of the United States District
Court, praised the English Court sys
tem where justice is speedy and
stable. He explained to the inter
ested students why it is that the Eng
lish system of law and courts is so
highly respected and held in such
esteem by the citizens of England
and foreign countries in his convo
cation talk given at 10 o'clock Thurs
day morning on, "Present Practices
in the English Courts."
Why respect for their laws, courts,
and representatives of justice is "in
grained" in the minds and hearts of
the English people, was shown by
Judge Munger as due to the manner
in which the people look on their
courts and representatives and in the
manner of reverence in which they
treat them.
Jndffes are not "Hard Boiled"
In England, explained the speaker,
the typical "hard boiled" American
judge is not found. The judges of
England are very polite, and the Kir
of dignity surrounding thMn, their
picturesque robes and wigs, create an
atmosphere of reserve that is not
easy to break through. Yet, every
consideration is offered the defend
ant and the witness, examination by
the lawyers is carried on in a very
polite manner; lawyers when ques
tioning witnesses are required to
stand with the witness, and when the
questioning is through, the witness
is graciously thanked for his services.
The Judge is given the actual con
trol of the case from the beginning,
Mr. Munger told his audience. This is
not the way in which it is handled in
this country where the judge takes
little part in the actual trying of the
defendant, but merely judges the
case and pronounces a sentence after
the verdict is rendered by the jury.
The English judges do not take ad
vantage of this right, nor do they
become despotic in their power.
Court Room are Mora Dignified
"There is very little wit or humor
in the English Courts," said Judge
Munger, "but there is an afc itude of
good temper and courtesy that pre
vails in their court rooms that is
more dignified and tends much more
to respect than the other." Voices
are never raised to a high pitch,
neither does the argumentation be
come boisterous; all talking is car
ried on in a low pitched voice and in
a conversational manner. When the
voice is raised beyond normal, it be
comes impossible to hear the speaker
due to the manner in which their
court rooms are constructed, as the
echoes issuing from the domed ceil
ing and the walls makes the speakers

'Greatest and Closest Valley Meet
In History9, is Schulte' s Opinion
By V. J. Fitte
''The Missouri Valley " tfata. fcud
field championships will be the great
est and closest in the history of the
conference," said Coach Henry F.
Schulte, Nebraska track mentor, in
rallying his forces for the final
meets of the outdoor season.
"Oklahoma and Iowa State and
Kansas are all going to be in the run
ning, with the Sooner, of course,
standing the best chance of winning,'
the Husker coach continued, as he
scratched his bead. What was most
important, however, was the "In
dian's" idea of haw his own team was
going to fare in the annual meet,
and after much hesitation he pre
sented his point of view, and in none
too enthusiastic manner.
"Thin has bcn su off year In Ne

"with injuries trailing us all the way
from the start until the present time.
Then the bad weather held us back."

STUDENT NEWSPAPER
SERVICE PROPOSED
United Feature Syndicate SanetU
International Idea; Students
Urged to Contribute
Student are urged to take advant
age of the opportunity to write which
is afforded by the United Feature
Syndicate of New York, an organiza
tion owned and operated by the Uni
ted Press Associations, which pro
poses an International Newspaper
Service by student writers here and
abroad. Theta Sigma Phi, women's
journalistic honorary, has received a
communication concerning the pro
posal and is sponsoring it on this
campus.
The purpose of this service is to
give the younger generation a chance
to express its attitude toward its
world. Contributors on the campus
vr.ll leave their eou&ibuijuna with
Isabel O'Halloran in the News Serv
ice department of th tscnool of Jour
nalism. As this is to be a youthful
undertaking exclusively, these artic
les will be judged by a board of stu
dents who will decide which ones
merit publication, these to be sent in
to the syndicate. This is an especial
ly good time of year to send in con
tributions because, due to the multi
tude of things which always crowd
into the last few weeks of the school
year, few articles are being handed
in.
Only material which is good news
paper copy and is written on a sub
ject of general interest will be ac
cepted. Cartoons which tell a story
or make a point are just as useful
as articles and ere solicited. Both
articles and cartoons will be paid for,
one third of the gross proceeds from
the sale of the service to go to the
student writers, being divided equally
between the four or five contributors,.
whose articles have been accepted for
publication, one third to defray edi
torial costs, and ttie syndicate to the
receive the remaining third.

"We miss the great array of stars

Coach Schulte stopped. The idea of
a Nebraska track team taking worse
than a second in a Missouri Valley
classic seemed absurd even in Lis
own pessimistic mind.
As a matter of fact, since Nebraska
has been entering the meet with
Schulte guiding the destinies of the
team, there lave been but two years
that the Cornhuakers filled to collect
a championship. E has been here
sevmn years now. During that time
only once has a Nebraska cinder crew

RECORD
Last Minute Registration
Rush Looks Unavoidable
Registration is progressing very
slowly this year, according to
Dean Candy, who declares that
more than twice as many students
had been completely registered by
Thursday evening of last year
than had been turned in by 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
As a result of this delay in reg
istering, students will either have
to pay late fees or else make one
final rush for the Dean's offices
late today and tomoorow, which it
was hoped would be avoided this
spring.

(Editor1. Note)
This is the twentieth chapter of an
kistorical resume of Nebraska ath
letics which has been compiled by a
isaesBW ol TV Dailr Nebraskna
sports staff. A chapter f this
count will appear in each issste of
The Daily Nebraskan for the re
mainder of the school year.
By Jack Elliott
In the autumn of 1922 about one
hundred Nebraska students working j
as a committee secured the coopera-j
tion of the student body to raise a i
sum of $90,000 as the students' share
for the new Memorial stadium. With
the call for pledges, the entire Ne
braska student body, faculty, and al
umni heard the call and advanced the
necessary amount to build a fitting
tribute to Nebraska's fallen heroes.
Coach Fred Dawson had been at
Nebraska but two years and during
those two years had turned out two
of the best football teams Nebraska
had ever seen and ranked as among
the best in the country. The Athlet
ic board made Dawson director of
athletics in 1922. With the coming
of Coach Dawson to the Husker
school in the autumn of 1921 and
Coach Schulte as head track coach
and coach of linemen, Nebraska's
coaching staff was considered the
best in the Missouri Valley confer
ence. Assisting these two coaches
were Clarence Swanson, Owen Frank,
Bill Day, and Farley Young.
New System Inaugurated
4 new eyrtem WBi iT?ftguH!td ft
Nebraska this year, and that was the
position of student managers to the
athletic teams. A senior member was
chosen from the junior managers and
was awarded a letter at the end of
the season. He was selected by the
athletic board at the closing of each
sport season.
Nebraska defeated every football
team in the valley during the season
of 1922 and lost but one game out
side the conference and that to
Syracuse by the score of 9 to 6. The
decisive victory of the season and one
of the greatest battles of the year
was the Thanksgiving day game when
Nebraska downed the Notre Dame
eleven 14 to 6. This closed the sea
son of seven victories and one defeat
for Coach Dawson's team.
Dawsor has Championship Team
For the second consecutive year
Nebraska was awarded the champion
ship bl the Missouri Valley confer
ence, and for the second consecutive
year Coach Dawson had turned out a
championship team. Although the
Drake team went through the season
without a defeat by a Valley team,
football critics of the conference
awarded the title to the Cornhusker

STARS GATHER
Individual and School Honors;
HELD THIS AFTERNOON
Martin Will Ran Exhibition
Alva Martin, the "flying parson"
from Otoe and former Northwestern
star, will run an exhibition half-mile
at the meet Saturday against Kim
port, former Kansas Aggies star.
Martin will attempt to set a new
world's record, having approached
world's record time on several occa
sions, tie ran a sensational race on
a slow, wet track at Chicago last year
in the national collgeiates which was
timed in under world's record time.
A re-measurement of the track
showed it slightly short and spoiled
his chance of setting up a new half
mile mark at the time.
Coach Henry F. Schulte's Corn
huskers are set to put up their best
exhibition of the season in an at
tempt to retain the outdoor cham
pionship and regain undisputed track
supremacy of the Va'Jpy, lost when
they were nosed out at the Valley
indoor meet by Oklahoma.
Oklahoma and Kansas are Favorites
Oklahoma and Kansas Universities,
however, will enter the meet the real
favorites for the 1927 championship.
The battle between these three
schojls, pushed by Iowa State and
Missouri, with Oklahoma Aggies,
Kansas Aggies, Drake, and GrinneU
all possessed of stars capable of
splitting the points promises the
greatest team competition in recent
years.
Two hundred thirty picked athletes
from the nine valley schools will be
on hand at the stadium to battle for
individual honors. This galaxy of
stars includes men who are conceded
a good chance of breaking records in
the 880-yard run, the mile and 2-mile
runs, the low hurdles, broad jump,
pole vault, shot put, discus throw,
and the mile relay.
List of Stars is Imposing
Every event presents an imposing
list of stars who should furnish the
crowds two hours of hair-raising;
finishes. In the sprints there are
Grady and Mclnerny of Kansas, Far
ley and Edgington of Missouri, Best
and Bull of Oklahoma Aggies, Hewitt
of Oklahoma, and the chances are ten
to one that someone not now figured
on will beat out some of these stars
Saturday.
The 440 should furnish a great
race. The Cornhuskers have "Perly"
Wyatt, winner of the quarter in last
year's valley classic, Frank Dailey
and Bob Davenport, all possible place
winners. Iowa State has a fleet run
ning youth in Caulum. Hobbs of
Drake showed last week that he is
not out of the ranning. Oklahoma
is counting on Potts as a poasibla
point-getter in the quarter and Coop
er of Kansas is ranked as one of the
leading quarter milers of the valley.
Confer is Great Half-Miler
Raymond Conger heads a great list
of half-mil ers which bids fair to fur
nish him the competition necessary
to break the valley record be has
come so near breaking on several oc
casions. Expected to run next to
Conger and conceded a chance of de
feating the great Cyclone star is

runner who holds the distinction of
having been the only man to defeat
Boyden of California in the half-mile
on the coast and who has been the
