from all points of view, and will
reflect great credit upon the stu
dent body at the university," Bill

DEBATE SEEN AS
NEW POSSIBILITY
FOR INTRAMURALS
Voaeler Declares Will Put
It in Program if Wanted
By Students.
WHITE ADVOCATES PLAN
1
Says Would Stir Up Dying
Interest in College
Forensic Tilts.
The possibility for the inclusion
of debating on the intrs mural pro
gram at the University of Ne
braska was pointed out as depend
ing entirely upon the demand of
the student body for that type of
activity, by Rudy Vogeler, chair
man of intramural sports. "The
acceptance of debating as an in
tramural activity depend3 en
tirely upon the demand that
there is for such an activity
and the desire that is expressed
by the students. I should advise
those that are interested in the
project to send out a questionnaire
to determine how many students
want the activity and how many
organizations are willing to sup
port it," Vogeler declared.
Prof. H. A. White, varsity de
bate coach, expressed the opinion
that intramural debating would be
a good thing, and that such de
bates stir up student interest. The
advantages of debating as pointed
out by Professor White is that the
work is of assistance to the stu
dent In organizing material and
checking up on his own liens. An
opponent is likely to bring out er
rors in thinking and this is help
ful to prevent such errors in the
future.
"If we are thinking of the es
tablishing of a new sport as a sub
stitute for an old one we take into
consideration the approval that
such a change will meet. If a
great enough demand is shown it
is a simple enough matter to make
the change. The establishment of
debating as an intramural activ
ity may be made through this of
fice and we will be glad to do the
same if the demand warrants it,"
Vogeler said.

Witnesses to the accident said
Professor Baer was hurrying

Former Russian Student, Working for

Compares U. S. and Russian Schools
By ART KOZELKA.
Try to approach Mitrofan Afanasico with a query about
Russia, his native country. His stereotyped reply is, "I nin
no longer a Russian, 1 am an American." Then Mitrofan will
busy himself with his experiments, leaving you none the wiser
about the soviet country. .
He is a graduate of Vysoka Skola Temedelska at Brunn,
Czechoslokavia, ana is enronea
the graduate college of the Uni
versity or NeDrasKa wnere ne ia
working for his master's degree In
the plant pathology department of
the college of agriculture. Afana
slo came to Nebraska in 1930 to
study plant diseases under Dr.
Goss. When asked why he chose
this university he explains, "I have
a great many friends In Lincoln
and it was only natural for me to
rnmA hprp "
"My father was a Russian ortho
dox priest," Mitrofan said, "and I
was born in Russia, but I have not
lived there since the beginning of
the communistic regime. I had
just finished my high school train
ing when the war broke out. Af
ter the cessation of the Russian
fighting In 1917 I started school in

Hart Jenks will again play tho
leading role in a University Player

"Death Takes a Holiday" which ia
to be presented at the Temple
theater next week. Mr. Jenks
played Othello in the recent
Shakespearean production of that
name completed a successful ten
day run in Lincoln a few days ago.
The play which was translated
from the Italian by Walter Ferris
was produced in New York by Lee
Schubert with Phillip Mertvale and
Rose Hobart in the stellar roles.
Only recently has the play been
available for production.
"A Story of Death Coming to
Earth in the guise of a powerful
prince, to experience human emo
tions and discover the cause for
man's terror of Death, is the thesis
or idea upon which the play is
based," stated Mr. Jenks. "Because
of the difficulty of the play, Miss
Howell has consented to be mem-'
ber of the cast."
Excellent Cast.
The cast for "Death Takes a
Holiday," was described by Mr.
Jenks aa particularly good,
W. Zolley Lerner who played with
Jenks in "Othello" will portray the
character of an old man who has
lived a full life. Miriam Kissinger,
according to Mr. Jenks is a "nat

be played. Miss Kissinger will take
