MARTI PRESENTS
IVY DAY ADDRESS
Law Senior Discusses Points For and
Against Modern University with
"On Trial" as Subject
"The seed of God-like power is in
us still; Gods are we, heroes, if we
will," quoted Lloyd Martin, of Lin
coln, Law senior, in concluding his
Ivy Day oration, "On Trial." His
address was delivered following the
inter-sorority singing contest yester
day afternoon in the arena construct
ed north of Administration Hall.
After designating the tax-paying
public as judge, Marti proceeded to
give first, the accusations against the
American University. Quoting Roger
Babson he alleged that "higher edu
cation in America is supplying the
nation with sluggards, snobs, athletic
morons, and amusemen t-crazy
youths." College students are also
supposed to be more irreligious, tar d-er-drinking
and more immoral than
their counterparts 30 years ago. In
the eyes of the public they are time-
wasters, not scholarly, and thinking
more of social life than of studious
activities. They are mateiialistic,
going to school only to learn how to
"get the coin."
Much to be Said in Defense
In spite of the results of University
Night in Lincoln, when "we demon
strated our inability to stage a de
cent production," supression of stu
dent magazines and threats of the
legislatures to abolish first year
pledging because of ill-management
of fraternities, there is much to be
said in defense of the college stu
dent. Although they seek truth, they are
not irreligious. Drinking and im
morality are not nearly as rampant
ud they were in the "good old days."

ond and Mrs. Fred Liobers, Minden,

ants were required to carry an egg
on a spoon for a distance of 50
yards.
The milk drinking contest resulted
in William Paden, Rogers, winning
first place; Paul Swanson, Stroms
buV&h, second, and O. U. bolster,
