Socialist Leader Will Talk
At World Forum and at
7:30 Tonight.
GIVES SOCIALISTS' PLAN
Democratic Management of
Industries for Benefit
Of All Classes
"Forcing students to think About
it hi pioblema that tbey will bave
to face sooner or Inter In the eco
nomic and political world Is the
main objective of the socialism
movement In the colleges." de
clared 1'aul Porter, the traveling;
secretary of the League of Indus
trlnl Democracy. Monday morning.
"The other two parties are merely
coasting on tradition, while the
Socialist party is actively attack
ing the looming problems of the
present day."
Mr. Porter will speak Tuesday
noon at the northwest room of the
Temple cafeteria at World Forum
meeting. His topic will be based
on "Race and Industry." He will
alpo rpeak Tuesday evening at
7:30 o'clock In tbc V. M. C. A.
room in the Temple. Both meet
ings will be open to all.

As ona of the Mudent editors
of "The Dove." an Independent
campus paper at the University of
Kansas. Porter forwarded radical
policies, many of them coinciding
with those of Tbe Dally Nebra
kan. be said. Because he objected
to baring of the freshmen he was
hazed himself by being thrown into
the lake. "Everything was done in
the best of spirits, however." ho
interposed hastily. Through the
columns of the paper he opposed
race discrimination. He also op
posed the nominations of officers
by political partes which were
maae by some or tDe fraternity
factions.
The theory of socialism consists
of social control over economic
life, guaranteeing a job to every
person who wants one, as ex
plained by Mr. Porter. This object
is to be accomplished by political
action, organization-of workers
into unions, and organization of
consumers co-operatives. There Is
to be government ownership, but
the industry is to be operated on a
co-operative basis by the techni
cians and labor experts, although
everyone is to be payed a living
wage.
States Socialism Aim.
"Money above comfortable liv
ing expense is not a necessary im
petus for work as commonly be
lieved," opined the secretary. "The
nim of tbe socialism movement is
to bring everyone up to more
nearly the same level, and pare off
some of the immense accumula
tions of wealth. By making every
one materially well off, it would
he possible to develop a higher
type of civilization. Economic aim,
of course, is tbe basis, since eco
nomic security is necessary before
higher education is possible."
"Everywhere that I have trav
eled, an increased interest of tbc
:;tudents in tbe present economic
and social problems is being
aho-n. At the University of Chi

seventy-live students and faculty
members. At Columbia there Is an

The opening of the libraries on

quite successful. To tbe beet of
his knowledge there were 116 stu
dents that used the two libraries.
This report is by far better than
any other Saturday afternoon this
year.
There were some seventy-seven
books used in the two libraries,
that were recorded, but there w ere j
many others that were used that
were not necessary to check out
so It would be Impossible to state
tbe exact number of books used. r- r- . .

Mr. Doiue is inclined to think
that having just 116 students.
which Is only 2 percent of tbe stu
dent body, use the library, would
justify the expense. In actual fig
ures it cost the University of Ne
braska twenty cents apiece for
those students who took advantage
of the open library on Sunday.
The question is whether the uni
versity can afford to have the li
braries open on Sunday because
there is no way of knowing how
many students will use it, accord

Newly appointed to the associate

agronomy. Dean W. W. Burr, of
the college of agriculture. Is chair
man of the department.
I Samples of student opinion on
the much discussed prohibition
question indicate a conservative
and tolerant attitude. None of tbe
students interviewed yesterday
seemed to be much concerned
about the matter but all were will
ing to express an opinion. P-an-dora
and representative opinion of
five students brought forth ouch
attitudes as these:
Arnold B. Walker. '33. Omaha:
"Repealing of the prfbent law
would make matters no worse than
at prcst-rt. People often do things
foi'ulddcn !n public opinion. There
would be less accidents, less dis
ease, etc.. with the repeal."
Gordon E. Larson. 30. Rawlins,
Wyo.: "Naturally I can't remem
ber just how things were before
1919. I rather imagine that there
was more public carousing than
there is now, and much more
drinking" was done "by students. It I
isn't bad now. and I d like to see i
things stays as they are."
Coed Favors Repeat.
Mere commitUl was the opinion
cf Miss F"inre K. Hlyoke. '31, of
Omaha, favoring repeal of the
present law, and a substitution
somewhat like the Canadian sys
tem of state control for the sale
of intoxicants. This would result
in a better respect for law, she
said.
Richard McKcnie. '31. Schuyler,
does not take much stock in tbe
Literary Digest poll of public opiu
ion in cities. He does not believe
much tbat he reads, he said. How
ever, he ia for stricter enforce
ment. I do not agree with Hoover
that the prohibition law is en
forced as wcJ1 as other laws- Th
government should authorize a
larger expenditure for enforce-
iuf nt.
.lobn .f. Pitzer, Nebraska City,
is also for enforcement of the pres
ent law. "Strict enforcement is
tbe way. Don't be impatient of
the present law. Give it a fair
test, even if it takes a generation
or two. Form public opinion. Keep
cool."
Another student withholding his
name, favored repeal and the es
tablishment of a system of control
similar to the Canadian, whereby
the government would derive a
high revenue from the sale of in
toxicants. Hattcrt Is College of

NEBRASKANS RATE IN

Professor Robbins. Medical
Student Get Mention in
Rambler .Column.
Two Universityof Nebraska men,
a faculty member and a student in
tbe medical college, were listed in
the "Rambler" section of the
Omaha Sunday Bee-News as being
"among Interesting Nebraskans.
Prof. C. A. Robbins of the law
college was said to have "delivered
himself of a couple of opinions,"
thereby assuring his claim to fame.
The opinions were those gathered
by The Daily Nebraskan last week
concerning the relative intelligence
of laws and other students, as well
as the matter of student smoking.
The other Nebraska man to
place in the Omaha newspaper's
ball of fame was Jake Mall, senior
in the medical college, who has the
distinction of being one who has
taught in a foreign school before
completing a college course.
"Jake, who is the nephew of tbe
late Franklin Pavne Mall," reads
the writeup, "famous Chicago phy
sician, whose medical textbooks
are used in many schools, taught
for two years in China then re
turned to Omaha to complete bis
course. He will return to China
in June to take his interneship."
Of interest to aspiring Journal
ists, who are often told "it's no use
to take journalism at college," is
tbe statement made by tbe presi
dent of the Nebraska Press asso
ciation, F. H. Price, of Newman
Grove, who was also included in I
ine group ot "inieresimg -e-
group
braskans."
Concerning this tbe newspaper
says that Price "always hires grad
uates of journalism schools. He
likes them because many of them
bave been trained in tbe problems
of small towns. Tbey are easier
to handle, be says, than an experi
enced reporter."
