1930 IS BUSIEST YEAR
"Does it make any difference
to us how the powers of a grow

ized?" asked T. M. Elliott, since
1909 in the east in the Y. M. C.
A. service and now home on fur
lough, at the World Forum meet
ing yesterday noon. "China is
roing to get her rights," he as
serted further. "Do we want her
to turn military. Mistreat her
and these powers go to militar
ism. Give her a chance and her
powers will aid the world econom
ically. Mr. Elliott began by showing
that China is becoming a world
power. He said. "I am going to
take you into China by means of
the revolution. The political revo
lution has been continuing for
nineteen years and in it the Chi
nese have been struggling for
nothing more than Americans
have, government of the people,
by the people and for the people."
But there is more to China's
revolution than just militarism.

Humor Magazine Campaign
Surpasses History
Edgar Backus.
HUMOR ITEMS POPULAR
Allaway, Erickson Articles
Attract Attention
oi Readers. -
Surpassing last month's sales
record by over 100 copies, the
pales campaign for the March is
sue of the Awgwan was opened
on the university campus yester
day morning. A complete sellout
of the 2.100 magasines printed
was predicted late yesterday after
noon by Edgar Backus, business
manager of the humor publica
tion. The five stands opened on
various parts of the campus for
the sale of the Awgwan did a
rushing business thruout the en
tire morning in an effort to sup
ply the great demand, and by
noon yesterday " the bulk of the
edition was disposed of. The
quota allotted to the agricultural
college was completely sold out by
1 o'clock.
Due to the fact that the demand
for last month's issue was con
siderably greater than the supply
on hand, 200 additional copies
were printed this month. The num
ber hold last month, was from two
to throe times as large as at any
time in history, according to
Backus.
Humor Articles Popular.
The humorous articles which
feature the March issue have
proved exceedingly popular with a
large number of student readers.
Short stories written by Howard
Allaway and Jack Erickson at
tracted considerable attention. Al
laway's article is a thrilling one
describing the adventures of an
athlete at a neighboring institu
tion. Erickson, is this issue, con
tinues his absorbing tale of ad
venture which he started in the
February magazine.
"Big shots" on the university
campus were rapped on the chin in
a humorous panning given, . hj. a
special news 'story written for the
Awgwan by an anonymous cor
respondent, and this story was an
other outstanding feature of the
edition.
Marvin Robinson, recently ap
pointed art editor of the Awgwan,
preparde the cover design for the
March issue. A number of inter
esting cartoons were sprinkled
throughout the magazine and
proved popular among readers of
the publication.
A page devoted to poetry fea
tures "The College Man," by Wil
liam Taylor, and "Habit" and
"Caution, by Margaret Reck
meyer are also contained in the
issue.
A few additional copies of the
Awgaii will be on sale today at
the college book stores, for the
benefit of those who failed to pro
cure their issue during yesterday's
sales drive.

NEXT TEN YEARS
TO SEE COLLAPSE
Civilization Will Decline
Or League Strengthen
Says Executive.
GROUP HIRES EXPERTS
"The next ten years will either
see another war and the collapse
of civilization itself, or a League
of Nations so strengthened that no
nation will dare oppose its struc
ture of peace," declared Clark M.
Eichelberger, executive secretary
of the midwest section of the
League of Nations in an address
to a group of university history
students Wednesday morning in
Social Science auditorium. Mr.
Eichelberger is in Lincoln for a
few days for the purpose of or
ganizing a Nebraska section of the
League of Nations.
He will speak at a university
convecation in the Temple Friday
morning at 11 o'clock.
Mr, Eichelberger said that the
league had given three major gifts
to the world; the technique of a
new diplomacy, the use of experts
in world affairs, and the birth of
ian international community con
sciousness.
"The present league is not the
same as the cne founded in 3920
by Woodrow Wilson," the speaker
pointed out, "the American people
should stop thinking of it as a po
litical issue of 1920 and recognize
its value in solving the problems
of a modern society."
States Composition.
The league is composed of a
council, an assembly, and a sec
retariate. According to Mr. Eichel
berger, the secretariate is the most
idealistic body of the three. This
group employs over a thousand ex
perts in every possible line of ac
tivity to assist them in solving
their problems. The speaker de
clared that this group holds con
ferences on every conceivable topic
in the world such as commercial
ism, economics, health, and poli
tics. "The business of war or the
t nf war in the business of all
nations, and it is the friendly right
of every nation to step in ior
peaceful intervention. Another war
will make this last war look like
child's play," said the speaker.
"The present aim1! of the league
are rather to eliminate the causes
of war, than to settle quarrels be
tween nations."
Meeting is Advantage.
Mr. Eichelberger thinks that the
biggest advantage the league of
fers in averting war is the fact
that the statesmen meet face to
face and discuss their problems;
all of them are thinking on the
same subject together.
In concluding, the speaker de
clared that be bad come to the
students because it is a matter of
public education and support. He
is confident that this generation
will settle forever the question of
war for "in the last ten years the

Another one of the most needy
colleges of the campus is the col

floor of the social science building.
The college is hoping for a new
building in the near future to take
care of its overflow of students.
Probably one of the grestest
needs of the college according to
Dean J. E. LeRosf ignol is the need
for more Instructors. The college

LEGISLATORS WILL
DISCUSS MEASURE
TO BAN SMOKING
Senate Overrides Standing
Committee to File
Legislation.
PROHIBIT IN BUILDINGS
Plan Would Include Use in
All University-Owned
Property.
A bill which seeks to prohibit
smoking in any form in buildings
owned or operated by the Univer
sity of Nebraska, state normal
schools, or buildings under con
trol of the university, leased or
owned, or any public or high
school building is under considera
tion of the Nebraska legislature as
result of action by the state sen
ate yesterday. The senate has no
rules against smoking but over
rode a standing committee Wed
nesday and placed on the general
file the above bill.
By a vote of 17 to 16 the no
smoking bill was placed on gen
eral file in the senate, a motion by
Johnson of Potter, introducer of
the bill carried over the recom
mendation of the committee on ed
ucation that it be indefinitely post
poned. The bill is S. F. 82.
The roll call on the motion to
file resulted:
Aye Allen. Andersen. Behren. Clark,
Cooper, Krufh. Johntton. McOowui. Nep
bmjer. Pdersen, Scott, Spnnper. Toolef
Vance. Warner, Wellenaiek, Wherry 17.
Nay Axtell. Bowman. Bowrlnc Dvo
rak. Easwm. KuMer. Kunkel, Neumann,
Pitzer. Randall, Reed. Rodman, Schep
man. Srb, Van Kirk, Welch 16.
Wellensiek of Grand Island cast
the necessary seventeenth vote to
place the bill on general file.
Reed explained that he voted
against the motion for two rea
sons; first that if the senate over
rides committees it will be in ses
sion all summer; second, because
he believes the bill will be of no
effect if enacted into law, no more
than the present law against
smoking in public eating houses.
He approved the principal of the
bill.
Some who never smoke voted
against the bill on the ground that
it will not be enforced and would
create another class of law break
ers. AxteH ' tr Fairtnrry so ex
pressed himself. He said such a
rule had been enforced in the pub
lic schools in his community, stu
dents having been expelled fjr its
violation.
Big Demand.
Johnson, introducer, told the wa
ste that thousands of women and
dozens of organizations, all made
up of voters, were asking for the
bill and signed petitions.
' Rules are now in force against
smoking in educational .institu
tions." said Neumann.
"We can do our duty here and
leave enforcement up to others,'
said Vance.
"I saw a student smoking in a
class at the university," said Mc
Gowan. "YOU dwil't pi all til c fcliit yoL
preach." said Vance.
"You pass a law and I'll quit
finoking in the senate chamber.-'
replied McGowan.
"The university is supported by
public taxes and the senate has a
right to say what shall be done
theie," said Behrens. "I don't
think it proper for the young to
come to the university to learn to
smoke or drink whisky. The peo
ple have a right to say what they
do at the university."
"At the dinner at the state farm
the chancellor was asked why
smoking was allowed on the
campus," said Pederson, "arid he
said there is no law to authorize
the regents to stop it, but with a
law it would be stopped."
No one called attention to the
fact that the bill refers to smok
ing only in buildings not on
grounds.
Hard To Enforce.
"For economic reasons I oppose
this bill," said Neumann. "The
governor has recommended re
duced appropriations for the uni
versity. If the bill passes watch
