SPRING SHOW
Dr. F. M. Flinq Feels That United States
Holds Key Position to Prevent War
History Instructor Asserts
That There Will Never Be
Another World War in Talk
Before Reserve Officers
There will never be another
world war for the principal reason
that the United States is the only
nation in the world with resource
necessary to wage war on a largo
scale and the United States will
never conduct offensive war. That
wnb the opinion Dr. F. M. Fling of
the department of history expressed
In a talk betore a meeting of the
Reserve On leers association at Ne
braska hall Wednesday evening.
Professor Fliug was scheduled to
speak on "The Locarno Treaty,"
but he changed his topic to a dis
cussion of the chances of another
war during the present generation.
He also spoke of the International
organization of the world.
Stresses Removal of Causes.
Removal of the causes of war is
the essential thing rather than the
reduction of armaments of nations,
according to Dr. Fling. He outlined
the expansion of the theater of his
tory, pointing out. the fact that the
theater could no longer increase.
There are no more lands or peoples
to be discovered, and, hence, the
world society can be increased only
through the natural Increase In the
population of the earth, he said.
Dr. Fling pointed out that there
has, been a tremendous change in
things in the last few decades. The
present century, ho thinks, consti
tutes one of the turning points in
the world's history from the stand
point of the importance of the
events transpiring. He even sug
gested that our grandparents were
closer to the ancient Egyptians than
they were to us.
Speaks of Forefathers
"When our grandparents wanted
to move from one place to another
tliey walked, or rode a horse or
hitched a horse to a wagon and
rode In that," he stated. "If they
anted to travel on the water they
propelled a boat with oars or atp
niched a sail to it. Those were the
methods of transportation In vogue
six thousand years ago or more.

AT EGYPT 'Y' BANQUET
Speaker Stresses Need of
Friendly Cooperation With
Foreign Leaders
"We are not. attempting the im
possible task of relieving the un
believable poverty In the countries
where the foreign work of the Y.
M. C. A. is being carried on. What
we are doing Is to send to these
countries a few experts to help the
coming leaders of those countries
to solve their own economic and
social problems," declared Arthur
Rugh at the Nebraska In Egypt
banquet at the Grand hotel last
night, summarizing the purpose of
the foreign work of the "Y."
Through Steel Holcombe in the
Y. M. C. A. work In Egypt, ac
cording to Mr. Rugh, we are shpw
ing our best experience with the
young msn of that country in a
spirit of friendly co-operation. Mr.
Rugh stated further that when he
visited Cairo he was impressed
with the similarity of the social
needs there to those of China,
where he was formerly stationed.

SEASON NEARS CLOSE
Black's Squad Prepares For
Final Game With Kansas
Saturday Night
HOLM AND OLSON FINISH
Although the end of the season
Is near Coach Charley Black's pro
teges are not resting on past
laurels, and were hard at work last
night for flnil preparation for the
Kaggies who are to appear on tne
Coliseum floor Saturday night.
The combination of Fisher,
Grace, Maclay, Wilte and Law an
dowski got the call against the
freshmen for scrimmage. Tne
green-shirts were showing a lot of
stuff against the vsrslty who failed
to click at the beginning of the
session.
Drill on Pastes
The first part of the practice
period was spent In drill on pass
ing. Hooks and underhand passes
were being stressed, and the whole
squad got plenty of work with the
pellet.
Saturday night will mark the
last appe&i mice of Eluiul IIolui ilid
Carl Olson in Scarlet togs. Both
men have been on the Husker bas
ketball squad for the last three
yc&rs
The Aggies will take the coming
engagement with extra considera
tion, as they now have a chance to
sink In the cellar position of the
Big Six. Kansas' victory over
Iowa State Wednesday evening,
gave them an even break to dis
place the Manhattan youths from
fifth place.
Although Saturday night marks
the last game for the 1928-29 squad,
according to the present outlook,
very much the same men will be
featuring on the maple floor next
year. The Fisher, Grace, Maclay,
Witte and Lewandowskl lineup will
not suffer any losses through the
graduation method.
Winter Issue of
Quarterly Has
Much Variety
The Winter issue of "The Prairie
Schooner" is now on sale at the
campus bookstores and newstands.
It is an admirable collection of lit
erary work, representing middle
western wrlttrs and due credit
should be extended to its editorial
staff in appreciation of their ef
forts... , ...
One sections, "The Ox Cart" gives
a Riimmai-izincr criticism of the
whole magazine, which seems to
be getting away from tne scien
tific" realism that has been in
vogue during late years. Five short
stories, appearing in this Issue, are
varied in their content and their
themes.
Contains Story of Dream
Among the stories is P. M. Ster
ling's "Whispers." It Is a clever
portrayal of a world in fanthom
like images of a dream. Indeed, it
is so realistic that the reader be
comes lost in the first person nar
rative, re-living the fascinated
dread of a dream night.
The somber shadow or reality is
present in "Tall and Straight," a
story by Doctor Lowery C. Wim
berly, editor of the "Schooner." As
the reader meets Pierre DuBols, he
awakens memories of other days
when men were "tall and straight"
and friendships were held sacred.
v Sandahl Contributes
In an article, "Journalism and
Literature," Cliff Sandahl, one of
the managing editors of The Dally
Nebraskan defends journalism
against the charges it often re
ceives of vitiating style and ruining
an asthetlc attitude towards life.
Using the experiences of O. Henry,
one of America's five best short
story writers, as a mirror of his
ow n beliefs Sandahl presents a con
vincing argument in favor of the
journalist as a man of literary in
stincts. "Jade Earrings," by Bobetto sel
erlier. Is written froe of the som
ber theme. Let interest is immedi
ately intensified with the relating
of a woman's experiences, who's
mind was enchanted by jade ear
rings and dreams.
In the poetry department one can
find a wealth of entertainment.
Helene Margaret, with her "Four
Black Clowns," resorts to tho ver
nacular of a southern negress. This
poem and Miss Margaret's other,
"Legs," are both written with an
adroit presentation of different
walks of life.
A new department by Loren C.
Elsley is entitled "Crossroads." It
contains four poems of exceptional
merit. The frontispiece for this Is
sue is entitled "The Lost Trail,"
and was sketched by Lunman Bix
be, a commercial artist from Om
aha. Overgrowth Leads to
Closing of Student
Book Exchange
Student Book Hxchange in the
Temple closed yesterday, February
?x Hooka mav be withdrawn dur
ing the next week In the mornings
only. Two weeks notice has been
given to all having 'books in the
exchange, so that they may with
draw them. Books not withdrawn
before March 4 will be put on sale
for what they will bring.
Advisory board of the university
Y. M. C. A. decided several weeks
ago to close the exchange, because
the business has grown to such pro
portions that it requires too much
of the time of the secretary and
his assistant. Approximately $4,000
worth of books were sold In the
year 1928, as against $2,000 worth
during 1927, the first year of the
exchange's operation.

Kansas City has always turned out
strong for the indoor track season,
and it is the plan of those in charge
to make the annual indoor meet of
the Valley conference one of the
leading events of the winter sea
son. Last Year's
Edith Mae Johnson, Fremont,
was selected 1928 Prom girl by a
popular vote of those attending the
party. Miss Johnson Is a member
of Pi Beta Phi sorority, and was
graduated from the School of Fine
Arts last June.
The Junior-Senior From has
grown to become one of the oldest
social traditions of the university.
The Junior Prom, as it was known
in the 90's, was the outstanding
university party of the year. To
be elected Prom girl was consid
ered one of the highest social hon
ors that a girl might attain.
At that time there were few fra
ternity and sorority parties. The
university sponsored several social
get-togethers, but there were but
two or three all-university parties
of a formal nature. The Junior-
Dean of Women Makes
Itequesl for Lights
Miss Amanda Heppner, dean
of women, Is advising a more
complete light Ing system on the
campus. "1 feel that the campus
Is very dark," said Miss Hepp
ner. "The lights are placed too
high on the buildings. They do
not Illuminate the walks around
the buildings at all.
"Too many girls have been
molested and pursued going lo
and from the library anil eve

sity has a duty and responsibil
ity to safeguard the girls from
experiences such as many of
them have had."
