tion Shows Large Influence
Of British Team
ENGLISHMEN DISPLAY WIT
Nearly Seven Hundred People
Hear First International
Clash In Lincoln
Accompanying the wit and levity
which have made English debaters so
popular in this country, with sound
and well-organized reasoning, the
debaters representing Cambridge
university, England, won their way
to the hearts of their Lincoln audi
ence in Grant Memorial hall Mon-
dav evening when they met .the Uni
versity of Nebraska in the state's
first international debate.
An audience of about 700, the:
largest to hear an intercollegiate de
bate in Lincoln in recent years, in
its vote before and after the debate
indicated that the Cambridge team
was more influential in its arguments
than was Nebraska. Before the de
bate 137 were favorable to the prop
osition: "This house thinks that the
ethics of 'the business world are in
compatible with sound morality."
After the debate, 258 voted that they
favored the proposition showing a
distinct change of sentiment toward
the side upheld by the Englishmen.
Of the 164 who voted neutral pre
ceding the debate, only 41 remained
neutral at the close. Of the 226 who
were opposed to the. proposition at
the beginning of the debate, there
were only 175- who remained op
posed at the close.
Baldwin Opens For Nebraska
Representing Nebraska in the de
bate were Robert M. Baldwin, David
A. Fellman, and George E. Johnson,
Jr., speaking in the order named.
Hugh Mackintosh Foot opened the
arguments for Cambridge followed
in turn by M. A. B. King-Hamilton,
and Herbert Lionel Elvin. Former
Governor Samuel E. McKelvie pre
sided and directed the open forum
d'urf-d&fcion at the close of the debater.
Cambridge debaters kept the au
dience in a good humor throughout
the debate with the clever sallies in
terspersed between the arguments
they presented. The Nebraska team
presented a clear and forceful case,

MCGORMACK IS
TO APPEAR HERE
Eminent Singer Will Present
Concert at University
Coliseum
NOVEMBER 9 IS DATE SET
John McCormack, one of the fore
most men in the sphere of music, the
"Uncrowned King of Song" is to ap
pear here Wednesday evening, No
vember 9 in the university coliseum.
Mr. McCormack comes here through
the efforts of Willard Kimball of the
conservatory of music.
Mr. McCormack in his forty-second
year stands at the top of the lad
der of eminence. Since his Amer
ican debut at the Manhattan Opera
house his career has been one of con
tinned success. Mr. McCormack has
been an exclusive1 Victor artist for
some time. Nearly every one has
become familiar with his voice and
his pianist, Edwin Schneider, through
the distribution of Victor records.
To America he is more than an ar
tist, for he stands enshrined in the
hearts of the public.
The season of 1925-1926 was easily
the most successful in Mr. McCorm-
ack's entire career. Fifty concerts
were given in the United States be
tween October 15, 1925 and March

Corn Cobs Are
Hosts to Flier
Here Saturday
Definite announcement was made
Monday by the Corn Cobs, in charge
of entertainment between halves' of
the homecoming game, that Colonel
Lindbergh, noted flying ace, will be
on hand to provide thrills for the
spectators Saturday. It was through
the efforts of the Tassels and Cobs,
pep organizations, that the renowned
trans-Atlantic flyer was secured and
the many thousands who will witness
the traditional battle between the
Kansas and Nebraska teams will also
see one of America's greatest person
ages.
The Corn Cobs and Tassels will act
as the official welcoming committee
and will be on the field at the end of
the second quarter to welcome
"Lindy" when he alights in his
"Spirit of St. Louis." Several prom
inent school and state off icials jriU
also be in the welcoming party on the
field and a very pleasing program
has been provided to welcome the
colonel to Nebraska's state capital.
A tea for the Kansas team mem
bers has also been planned and it is
hoped that Lindbergh will arrive in
time to attend the tea. He will prob
ably circle over the field a few times
before landing so that the crowd will
be sure and know that he is here.
Those who have not been fortunate
in seeing "Bashful Charles" should
not miss this opportunity as it is his
first and probably only visit to Lin
coln this year.

Until November 12

scheduled for Saturday morning,
November 5, has been postponed

TEACHERS TO BE
CAMPUS GUESTS
State Association Convenes
In Lincoln Wednesday In
Annual Session
MANY EXPECTED TO COME
Forty-five hundred members and
guests of the Nebraska State Teach
ers association will be in Lincoln this
week. The 1927 convention of dis
trict 1 of the association is scheduled
to be in session November 2, 3, 4,
and 5.

tinguished guests will be present, and
the university coliseum is the scene
of most of the sessions.
Features Are Secured
Many features have been planned
for the information and entertain
ment of the teachers. Prominent men
and women in the field of education
will speak, and specialists in various
subjects will address smaller divis
ional sessions. The lighter side of the
convention has been well taken care
of. almost every day providing in
teresting entertainment. As the con
vention ends Saturday, the Nebraska-
Kansas football game will attract
many.
An interesting feature being plan
ned is a dinner for the men in at
tendance, according to E. M. Hos
man, secretary of the state organi
zation. As plans for this have just
begun, very little definite informa
tion is available, but it will be a grid
iron dinner, Mr. Hosman stated.

Bureau Helps
Find Positions
For Students
The employment situation has been
good this year, according to Sherman
Welpton, secretary of the student
employment bureau, and the number
of calls for student aid are increas
ing. Many, Lincoln firms and fam-
lies are taking advantage of the
service offered by the bureau to se
cure students to fill permanent posi
tions or to work at odd jobs.
A comparison of statistics shows
an increase of employment during
September and October. During Oc
tober the employment bureau re
ceived only thirty-seven additional
applications, but it aided thirty stu
dents in obtaining jobs.
The total remuneration for thq
students during the month was ap
proximately $3,820. This shows a
noticeaL1 '"crease, and according to
past records a proportional increase
for November may be expected.
