INTERNATIONAL GOOD-WILL
International good-will was the keynote of the
debate held yesterday evening in Grant Memorial Hall
between Cambridge University of England and the
University of Nebraska.
Facing the largest audience that has assembled
for a University debate on this campus in years, the
Englishmen furnished a most enjoyable evening. Their
vaunted wit and levity was not lacking. But with it
they brought a carefully worked out indictment of
modern business which commanded attention. No less
enjoyable than the Oxford team which debated in this
country two years ago,- the men from Cambridge pre
sented much more material of real significance.
In commenting on the meritorious performance
of the Cambridge team, it would be very unfair not to
mention the work of the Nebraskans. While it is prob
ably true that the majority of the audience was drawn
to the debate to hear the Cambridge team, the debate
would not have been possible without the presence of
the Nebraskans. .
They furnished a fine sample of old-style driving,
entirely serious American debating. Their case was well
organized. Their platform handling of their case was
exceedingly fine when it is remembered that they have
been at work on the debate only a month and were
debating it for their first time in public. The English
men had already debated the same subject twice on
their present tour in addition to their debates on other
'subjects they are treating in this country.
The contrast between the work of the Nebraskans
and the work of the Cambridge team furnished a most
interesting comparison between the debate tactics of
the two countries. They were not as different as might
be expected. The Cambridge team injected more humor
into their discussion. Otherwise their mode of attack
was very much like that of Nebraska.
The feeling that they had been unusually hospit
ably treated in this country, a fact which the English
men continually emphasized, brought home the real sig
nificance of the debate. Both sides acknowledged that
they could not hope to solve such a problem by talking
about it for an evening. The debate did serve to clarify
for the audience some of the problems confronting
modern business. It did serve to draw the feelings of
the audience to the English as the representatives of
race more closely knit to our own than any other. In
that realization that others are not so different, prob
ably lay the greatest value of the debate.
No' discussion of the debate would be complete
without referring credit to Dr. H. A. White, varsity
debate coach. He not only supervised the training of
the Nebraska team (regular faculty coaching is no
longer followed) but handled the entire arrangements
for the debate. On his shoulders falls any credit due
for the success of the debate from a financial stand
point, from a debate standpoint, or from the largest
aspect of promoting international understanding.
IN OUR OWN FRONT YARD
"Priceless jewels in our homes do lay, and yet we
seek in other lands".
Such a thought makes one think of the weary trav
ler who sought the world over for one soul-inspiring
scene. After years of travel into the most beautiful
and picturesque corners of the world, he returned home
dissatisfied.
One evening while musing on Us front porch, it
suddenly came to him, as he saw the golden glow of
the setting sun tint the scene before him, that here was
what he had sought to the ends of the earth. Miles of
travel and his priceless jewel lay in his front yard.
Merely a gently whispered hint before the culture-seeking
students of this University start jewel
seeking in far-off lands: Do not pass by the jewel that
lies in our own front yard. In Morrill Hall, there is
now in the process of arrangement, the most com
plete museum of geology in this part of the country.
Here, in the setting provided by a new building,
coupled with beautiful mural decorations, one may see
the evolutionary development of the animals of Ne-

PARKING AND TRAFFIC PROBLEMS
The urgency of giving some consideration to the
nroblem of parking and of handling of traffic during
the big football games was excellently illustrated last
Saturday.
With hundreds of Nebraskans driving in from out
in the state, parking space was at a premium in the
neighborhood of the 6tadium.
Even more trying was the congestion which re
sulted when the game ended. Some of the out-in-state
automobile parties waited from a half hoar to an hour
before they could get free of the crowd and start tne
return journey home. Some well-defined program for
moving the traffic should be worked out before the
Thanksgiving day game when it is to be expected an
other great throng will gather for the New York uni
versity battle.
Lincoln people, with some inconvenience to them
selves, can help solve the problem by parking some
distance from the stadium and walking. That would be
a very courteous and considerate attitude for Lincoln
to exhibit toward her guests of the day.

Notices

Daily Nebraskan readers are cordially invited to contri
bute articles to this column. This paper, however, assumes no
responsibility for the sentiment expressed herein, and re
serves the right to exclude any libelous or undesirable matter.
A limit of six hundred words has been placed on all contributions.
To the Editor:
"The automobile is another factor which often
wastes the time of a student and frequently involves
him in other serious difficulties," according to the let
ter of caution whioh the University has sent to parents
of students in this institution. Yet parents are evidently
not alarmed by this "Caution", because a large num
ber continue in spite of the letter to send cars to their
sons and daughters.
As to wasting time, granted' some time may be
wasted by those having cars, but since students will
naturally waste some time is it not better to have them
do it in the fresh air, than in a stuffy theater? Is the
Board of Regents trying to make the old adage of, "all
work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," come true?
In the cases where automobile-banning laws have
taken effect, and according to reports, are successful,
the campus is concentrated in one place and the town
where the college is located is a great deal smaller than
Lincoln. The fraternities and sororities are all within
walking distance of one another.
There is another argument which seems to present
itself on wasting time. If the rule is passett, then a
great deal of time might be wasted in getting to and
from the campus. The traction company is not safe
to rely upon for making 8 o'clocks, and as yet bus ser
vice does not extend to all parts of the city. Is it quite
fair to the many town students who have the use of
cars to have to spend as much time getting to a class
as they spend in it?
Besides all these facts, it does not seem to coin
cide with the true spirit of higher education to have
a group of officials stating how one may spend his
spare time. It makes each student shirk, unconsciously,
a certain amount of responsibility which he should be
learning to take right now during his university career.
Each person who registers in a university of any kind
should be prepared to meet and cast off temptations
that are a hindrance to his work and if all this is done
for him a great part of the value of a university edu
cation is gone.

With the repeal of a statute of
1897 in South Carolina, there is no
state in the union which has laws
forhibiting sororities and fraternities
in colleges which receive state aid.
To the Editor:
Noise or no noise, industry or no industry, what
in the name of all that is sane, are these over-sized
baby-carriages doing in the home of youth full-limbed,
great-chested, eager youth, bursting with life? What
are these luxurious coaches doing in the way of man
building?
Making mashed potatoes of our man of tomorrow.
K. C. R., if student ownership of cars is necessary
to strengthen and maintain our great American indus
try, then it is obviously defeating its own purpose. It is
rotting out the heart of tomorrow's nation and without
the nation, where is industry?

following the more formal methods
generally used in American debating.
Foot Begins tk Debate
Mr. Foot in opening the debate
pointed out that bi business im
poses on .every business man a low
standard of morality. "Sound mor
ality means a certain amount of sac
rifice, a certain amount of unselfish
ness," he declared, pointing out that
sacrifices and unselfishness were un
known In the business world today.
He attacked advertising which he
claimed only added to the cost of a
p.orluct to the consumer.
"Talk of service ttnd integrity is
only to cover op the sordidness of
modern business methods," he em
jmafcteed. "Modern business exists on
exploitation and selfishness and put
ting gain before anything else."
N('lraj;ka's case wns opened by
Kolert Baldwin who discussed busi
ness ethics from the standpoint of
'- f-.i'.B e tie business maa to
his employee, to his competitor, to
! cn-tomt-r, and to the world at
i ITe showed that employees
i e i,r ttf r paid than ever before, that
tiy work Sorter hours. He called
v;-. ;;' uirAa t,Z cf.j:.-s ;yt";t b-ef.wera
o- aj;iwU)f called attention to
the business requirement that the
customer must be satisfied. Finally
he called attention to the feeling of
the business world that it must con
tribute to the support of the all
worthy causes.
AdVertising la Attacked
"At the present time self-interest
always comes first and public inter
est afterwards," affirmed Mr. King
Hamilton in opening his attacks on
the compatibility of business ethics
with sound morality. He cited num
erous examples of bad business in
cluding the present day production of
"antique" furniture, certain types of
bargain sales and again attacked ad
vertising declaring that today the
sale of goods depended on the cun
ning of the advertuer rather than
upon the quality of the goods
' Attacking: the Cambridge team be
cause they had been reasoning itom
specific cases to claim a generaliza
tion, David Fellman opened his argu
ment for Nebraska with dynamic re
futation. He pointed out that mor
ality springs from the people and
cannot be imposed from without.
Showing that morals arise from social
contacts he claimed that business it
talf lutf developed business morals.
He concluded his argument by call
ing attention to the fact that busi
ness depends upon the good will of
the people with whom the business
man deals and that under such cir
cumstance ho can not help but be
honest and honorable in h'.a dealings.
Sense of Value la Distorted
"As a result of the enlargement of
business, standards of business have
diminished and our sense of values
has been distorted," stated Mr. Elvin
in opening the concluding affirma
tive speech. He characterized the
world today under modern business
methods as "government of the peo
ple, by the clever, for the rich." He
cited new examples of poor business
ethics which he claimed were com
monly practiced today and inquired
if the standards employed in the busi
ness world encouraged the acquisi
tive instead of the cieative instincts
of man. In closing he asked, "Do
not business men at the top make a
great deal of profit by unsocial ac
tivities of which the holding up of
production is the worst?"
That the affirmative case, which
was based largely on the immoral
ethics of bis business, left out all ex
cept the men at the top, was the
contention of George E. Johnson,
concluding speaker of the evening.
He asotrtsd .that all must be consid
ered to determine ths soundness of
modern business ethics. He ques
tionprl linw many p0ple were not
actuated by self-int"rest in their pri
vate life as well as in their business
life. He defended advertising from
the standpoint that it was ethical to
advertise something that was worth
while. Following the debate proper, an
