"Corsage will not be worn
by fsmlnln guest at th Mili

mnt decreed yesterday, and
momentary pandemonium
reigned, resulting in a boot In
Ih ticket sale that any stock
market would envy.
Heretofore male social en
thuslattt wha vwtr ditlrout of
attending th premier formal
function of th season wer re
quired to pay three buck for a
ticket, at least thro "Iron gen
tlemen' for an appropriate cor
age of rotes, sweet peas, lilacs
nd thot flower which won't
grow on R street. With th
mounting cost of transporta
tion, laundering of th stiff
shirt, cleaning of th moth
proof tuxedo and refreshment
after the ball, th cost of a date
for th Military ball mounted
up Into figure that would rival
an appropriation for th Boul
der dam.
"Fr Instance" If 1.200 tick
et wer sold, 1.200 coeds would
expect 1,200 corsages, which
would cost on an average of ti
each. For these 1,200 corsage
13,600 would be expended, leav
ing extra work for the postman
to deliver th monthly flower
bill. The price of flower would
Increase, and th quantity
would b limited.

The speaker went on to explain
that It waa no longer possible for
a nation to remain isolated from
the rest of th world.
Travel Remove Barrier.
Th Improved tneana of trans
portation and communication have
removed the barrier, which th
ocean formerly created. The tariff
is also ineffective in isolating a
nation, according to Rev. Mr. In

walled up any longer," be declared.
He elated thai the artificial ana
natural barrier between nations

the Chinese wall la no longer ef

that the foreign trade of United

billion dollars annually and that
American citizen had thirty bil

clared that the American people
had no chance of getting loose
from their foreign entanglements.
Would Resemble Horses.
Mr. Inglts compared th situa
tion to two strange horses, which
are confined together in a corral.
He said that the first acts of the
horses would be to turn back to
back and start kicking each other.
But after a time the animals be
come accustomed to one another
and pull together when they are
bitched in double harness and they
develop the psychology of team
work.
"It remains to be Been." he de

DIRECTOR TELLS
PLANS FOR 1930
SUMMER SESSION
Moritz Announces Change
From Twelve Week
Recess Term.
SENATE APPROVES MOVE
New System Benefits Rural
Teachers Needing Six
Credit Hours.
Summer shool aessions at th
University of NebraoKa for 1930
will operate under tne six-nine
wek plan. Trot. It. D. Montx, di
rector of the summer session, de
finitely announced Wednesday.
Ihe six-nlno week plan combines
the advantages of both the six
week term and a nine week term.
Previous to last year, summer
sessions at the university were op
erated under the two six-week ses
sion plan. Lost year this system
was abandoned fur the single nine
week session. In 1B30, the univer
sity will offer a single six and a
single nine week term, both begin
nlDij June 9 and ending July 19
and Aug. 7 respectively.
Long Term Lowers Enrollment
In explaining the combination
of the six and nine week terms.
Professor Moritz stated that the
single long summer session as was
offered last summer, while more
advantageous to the student
working for a higher degree,
tended to decrease enrollment of
students who wished not more
than six credit hours for summer
work. The director pointed out
that many elementary and rural
teachers are being required to
earn six college credit hours dur
ing the summer to have certifi
cates renewed, and that the de
mand on all teachers for addi
tional college work Is increasing.
The single long session failed to
accomodate these three groups of
students.
The combination plan that has
been approved by the university
senate calls for a sv 'em wherein
certain courses carr . .g two hour
credit would be offered for the six
weeks, while course calling for
