Pacifist Declares Student
Training Harmful in
Four Respects.

'Peace Propaganda Smoke
Screen,' Commander of
Regiment Charges.
A heated discussion between
Kirby Page, editor of " World To
morrow and famous pacifist and
CoL W. H. Oury, commandant of
R. O. T. C unit followed the ad
dress by Mr. Page at World Forum
yesterday on "Will There be An
other World War?" Colonel Oury
charged that the pacifistic propa
ganda was largely a smoke screen.
He inquired why the pacifists did
not circulate propaganda against
preventable accidents, since acci
dents take a greater toll every
year than the World war did.
Page replied that be had chosen
to specialize in the prevention of
the toss of lives by warfare, rather
than by accidents. He declared,
however, that be was willing to
come to "a Yankee compromise"
with the colonel and when the mil
itarists did something about pre
venting avoidable accidents, he too
would devote some time and atten
tion to the matter.
In reply to the question if an
other war would destroy the pres
ent stats ' of civilization. Colonel
Oury replied that civilization sur
vived tha World war. Dr. R. L.
H in man asked Dr. Page if be
would favor the abolition of mili
tary training in universities if it
would mean that college men in
tha units disbanded would be re
placed by additional reserve offi
cers In the regular army.
Gives Two Reasons.
Mr. Page answered that he fav
ored tha abolition of military train
ing for two reasons, the first was
that he opposed all the various
parts and instruments of war and
that if war agencies were needed
that the university was the worst
place for them. He added that b.4
did not believe that cadets would
be replaced by men in the regular
army because the same forces that
are agitating the abolition of the
R. O. T. C opposed the other
measure. It was pointed out by
Mr. Page that the army and navy
officials made frequent requests to
congress which were refused.
"A student should derend mili
tary training intelligently and en
thusiastically." Mr. Page declared,
"or be should oppose it intelligent
ly knd enthusiastically." When

STUDENTS TO GET VOTE;
Organization Will Control
All Others on Campus
Under New Plan.
Completing its action toward es
tablishing itself as the supreme
undergraduate governmental body
on the campus, the Student council
yesterday passed the remaining
articles of its new constitution.
The document, however, must run
the gauntlet of the faculty com
mittee on student affairs, the bal
lot box at the second semester
elections, and the university sen
ate before it becomes valid.
The feature of the new draft Is
embodied in the clause which
states that the Student council
shall have the power to "regulate
the activities of all student or
ganizations and groups except as
this power may be limited by the
university administration." Unless
specific limitations are imposed by
the administrations the clause will
empower the Student council to
control the actions of all other
campus groups, including the A.
W. S. board, the Interfraternity
council, and the Panhellenic asso
ciation. Faulkner In Charge.
President Robert Kelly dele
gated Edwin Faulkner, chairman
of the constitutional committee to
take charge of the passage of the
remaining articles and the latter
was also delegated to present the
bill to its first faculty reviewers.
Faulkner will first present it to
the sub-faculty committee on stu
dent relations.
The first three articles of the
constitution were passed early in
November. The bigest step was
completed when the "powers
clause," or article three was ac
cepted by the group. The remain
ing five articles were passed at
yesterday's meeting. They were
accepted practically verbatim, ex-
cent that in the ca&e of the crnin-
j cil filling a vacancy from a fac
tion slate of three it was changed
so that tbe faction needed only to
present one, who would automatic
ally succeed the member of his po
litical group who left a vacancy
before his term expired.

Arts and Sciences College
Shows Increase of
35 Wednesday.
With the closing of the third
day of rigistration for the city
campus, the figures for those who
enrolled reached an equal mark
to that of Tuesday's report. Con
trary to predictions made by sev
eral deans, there was an increase
in registration in one of the col
leges, Jbat of arts and sciences'
rather than the expected decline.
Tbe registration for this college
was 238 in comparison to 203
Tuesday.
Many of the colleges approxi
mately equaled yesterday's marks
in registration figures, but others
showed a considerable decline. The
number of tbe registrants in
business administration college de
creased from 232 to 103 and en
gineering from 290 to 144.
With tbe senior law students
finishing yesterday, the law col
lege completed its registration,
but no definite count has yet been
made of those enrolled for tbe sec
ond semester. In this college the
freshmen register tbe first day,
second year men tbe second day,
and seniors the third.
Although tbe college of arts
and sciences showed an Increase
in the number of registering yest
erday, a considerable decrease is
expected tomorrow.
"Since most of the students at
tempt to get their courses for next
semester arranged as soon as pos
sible." said one dean, "it lc plaus
ible that registration will fall off
tomorrow and continue to do so
uni.ll Saturday noon, the latest
possible time to register without,
paving a late fee,"

Final Step in Cornhusker
Drive to Get Under
Way on Feb. 2.
NO ANNUALS JN SPRING
Business Manager Declares
New Plan Necessary
To Avoid Losses.
The final step In the new Corn
husker yearbook sales plan will be
commenced Feb. 2, when the Tas
sels society, under the direction of
Gretchen Fee, will launch the sec
ond semester sale of the annual,
according to Ed Edmonds, busi
ness manager.
Previously it was the practice
for the Cornhusker staff to make
one big sales drive during the
early fall and then order a large
number of extra books to be sold
after its publication in the spring.
A deficit and surplus resulted al
ternately under such a system,
Edmonds said. "This will be
avoided by the new plan, whereby
all books must be ordered before
we contract for them." be pointed
out. "There will be no extra an
nuals in the spring."
Expect to Sell 1,000.
The Cornhusker staff expects to
sell between 800 and 1.000 books
during the mid-year sale, as that
is the number which is usually
sold in the spring. This total, com
bined with the 1.300 yearbooks
which were sold during tbe fall
sales campaign, will comprise the
number of books which are to be
ordered from tbe publishers.
During the February campaign
the book will be sold on two plans.
It may either be obtained by pay
ing $5 down or by remitting S3
and paying an additional $2.50 at
the time of delivery- Those who
take the latter plan will be paying
fifty cents more than they would
have bad they made their pur
chase on the fall installment plan,
or one dollar more than they
would have had they paid under
the fall "spot cash" plan.
In addition to tbe selling cam
paign carried on by the Tassels,
members of the Cornhusker busi
ness staff will also make a wide
canvass among members of tbe
student body in an effort to insure
every person on the campus an op
portunity to purchase the year
book. COED VOTERS CHOOSE

CLAIMS WIDE INTEREST
Expressing thanks to members
of the legislature for responding
to his letter of Dec. 18, 1930. An
ton Jensen, former university in
structor and candidate for govern
or, has addressed another message
to that body concerning the fi
nancial examination of the uni
versity, which he urged in a former
letter.
In the December letter Jensen
claimed that the university had
misused funds and in tbe message
released for publication tbis morn
ing he comments upon L. E. Gund
erson's stand in welcoming a finan
cial investigation. He says, in part,
"It would seem that any member
of the legislature opposing such an
examinaiton or investigation .con
ducted in a fair spirit to all con
cerned, could look for no support
from the uiversity circles and
any such legislative member would
seemingly be in a most embarras
sing position when facing his con
stituents at the next election."
Received Many Letters.
Jensen said that a number of
letters expressing interest in the
university situation reached him
and that the first letter to reach
him was from Dr. Claire E. Owens,
of Exeter. Dr. Owens, a former
teacher, is interested in the subject
and is well acquainted with the
situation. She desires, according,
to Jensen, to keep the matter out
of partisan politics and "in fur
therance of that policy she has ex
pressed a desire to have the sup
port of both republican and demo
cratic legislators in the signing of
a ioint resolution which she ex
pects shortly to present ..." j

1.000 STUDENTS SIGN
ANTI-DRILL PETITION
,

MOVe Against COmpUlSOry;
Military Work Gets
Under Way.
More than one thousand stu
dents have signed the petition to
congress opposing compulsory
military drill in land grant univer
sities, which the League of Indus
trial Democracy is circulating in
colleges all over the United States,
according to Evelyn Adler who is
leading the movement on the Ne
braska campus. Miss Adler ex
pects to have several thousand sig
natures before Saturday, the dead
line for signing the petition. A
goal of 50,000 student signatures
has been set, according to Miss
Adler.
Copies of the petition have been
posted on tbe various bulletin
boards on the campus and students
opposed to compulsory military
drill have been requested to sign
tbe petition. Copies of the petition
may also be obtained at Tbe Daily
Nebraskan office and students who
wish to sign may report there any
time tbis afternoon.
The policy of signing petitions to
congress urging them to pass mea
sures in which students are inter
ested was indorsed by Kirby Page
in his World Forum address
Wednesday.
Miss Adler pointed out that this
Is but a movement to end compul
sory drill, would not abolish mili
tary science at Nebraska. She
pointed out that a like movement
bad been successful in Wisconsin
and that tbe outstanding educa
tional institutions such as Harv
ard. Tale. Chicago and Northwes
tern have already omitted com-;
pulsory drill from their circular.
the move and a few others ex
pressed the.nselves as undecided.
McCleery's motion which caused
such rife discussion at the council
meeting follows:
"I move that the Student .
Council go on record as being
opposed to compulsory mili
tary drill and that a committee
be appointed to appear before
proper authorities and state
the council's stand."
Is Council's Place.
"I believe that it is the council's
place to indicate its view toward
the qjestion since it is the subject
I of rampant discussion on the cam
pus at the presentime, McCIeery
pointed out. "1 believe that the
council is justified in taking such
a step in view of the fact that we
are delegated to represent student
viewpoint on such matters. The
Ohio State student body recently
voted fourteen to three for the
abolition of compulsory military
drill and to me it seems that it is
clearly within our sphere."
Immediate opposition to the mo
tion was expressed by Alan Wil
liams, barb member of the council
who was the only person to cham
pion the cause of military drill
from the floor.
Asserting that the Student
council would incur the immedi
ate disfavor of the faculty by tak
ing such a step. Williams declared
that they would be stepping out of
their jurisdiction by meddling
with the problem. He then ex
pressed an amendment to Mc
Cleery's motion stating that tea
hours of science as a requirement
for degree be abolished. His
amendment was lost for want of
a second.
Majority Favors Motion.

members was ready to ro on rec
