IS TOURING AMERICA Chinese Peace Worker Has Famous Disarmament Work to Credit. . Dr. T. Z. Koo, one of the fore most fieures in the peace move ments of today, will address a 12 o'clock luncheon meeting at the Grand hotel Saturday. The sub ject of his talk will be "The Chinese Situation Today." At 3 o'clock that afternoon he will talk to faculty members, alumni and students at a meeting at Ellen Smith hall. His subject for this talk is as yet unannounced but it will deal with the Chinese situa tion. As an authority upon foreign student opinion and effort. Dr. Koo is unrivaled. As vice chairman of the World Student Christian Fed eration, he was in a position where he had much friendly contact with the Japanese. He was one of the leaders of a student group in China which, working with a sim ilar student group in Japan, sought to influence their countries to a peaceful settlement of their diffi culties. Last fall, in this capacity, Dr. Koo travelled back and foith between China and Japan a great deal. Dr. Koo has said that he feels that peace must come ultimately through the work of small groups within the nations. He believes that dependence cannot be placed upon international peace machin ery alone. That is why he is so interested in all student move ments and for that reason he is now touring the United States speaking at different colleges. Has Practical Knowledge. As to practical economic experi ence with conditions in China, Dr. Koo is also well acquainted. For nine years he served in railway administration. This is one of the major points of friction in Man churia. Perhaps even more interest is manifest in Mr. Koo's presence here than in colleges in other parts of the country aa he was directly responsible in getting the Rocky Mountain district of thj Y. M. C.

FOR DEBATE n AGAINST DEBATE Q PEACE PETITION IS HERE Signers Indicate America Willing: Help League Stop Jap War. Dr. Inez Celia Phllbrlck, of the student health department, is cir culating a petition initiated by the League of Nations association. A Lawrance Lowell, president of Harvard university, is backing the movement and sending out the pe titlons. Petitioners appeal to the presi dent and congress to signify to the League of Nations that the united States will concur in any economic measures the League may take to restore peace. They advocate co operating with the league in any movement that will exert pressure upon Japan's present aggressive policy.

Outlining the owers of the League of Nations in dealing with the far east dispute between Japan and China, Norman L. Hill, associ ate professor of political science, addressed a large audience at the First Plymouth Congregational church Wednesday evening. Mr. Hill stated that the league had adequately dealt with a large number of disputes in the past and that they were capable of handling this one. They have attempted to conciliate the two countries, and they now have a commission on the way to Manchuria to investi gate the situation. This act has been authorized by article eleven of the covenant. "The League has several powers they have not yet used, and among them is that of economic boycott," he declared. They have been very wise in not applying this boycott for several reasons, two of them are the fact that it would aggravate the eco nomic depression and that the league should be sure of the situ ation before taking such drastic steps." He supported his second reason by declaring that it is not possible for public opinion in the United States to decide that Japan was the main aggressor. "Nearly all of the American people were sure that Germany was the sole ag gressor in the controversies that resulted in the World war, but they have since learned that they were not," he said. The political science instructor explained that the league had been working on a formula to define an aggressive state for a long time but had not yet accomplished it. He admitted that the case looked bad for Japan, but he stated that he thot that public opinion should not be valued too highly under such conditions. "I agree with Senator Borah," he said, "that hasty action is not desirable and that an economic boycott will probably lead to war."

YOU'RE BURNING OUT ADSON TELLS HI KIDS Brain Surgeon Scores High School Activity in Tech Speech. HITS AT WOMEN 'DIETS' High school boys and girls in the big cities are so sophisticated and active they are burning themselves out. Dr. A. W. Adson, chief brain surgeon of the Mayo clinic and graduate of the University of Ne braska, declared Wednesday. Dr. Adson received his bachelor s degree in 1912 and his master's degree in 1917 from the University of Nebraska. He is attending the state meeting of the American Col lege of Surgeons held this week in Omaha and spoke Wednesday night at Tech high auditorium on "Why Are You Nervous?" High school students are burn ing themselves out with too much activity," lie said. "They take part in many affairs at scnool, often go to a movie in the afternoon, go home to supper and then go to a party in th-3 evening. "This is true in the cities, nut not in the country. That's why so many big men come from the country." Hits Dieting Women. Dr. Adson also said wealthy women bum themselves out, play ing cards all afternoon and going to parties in the evening. The women who diet, he said, make a mistake. They leave out of their diet foods necessary for nervous force, and then have to resort to stimulants to keep going.

LIST CHAPERONES PARTY OF SEASON DEBATE AS PARI INTRAMURALS IS SURVEY SUBJECT Representative Opinions Are Sought on Forensic Proposal. FIND DIFFERENT VIEWS Vogelcr Declares Inclusion Arguments on Program Quite Possible. Interest in the proposed plan of including debate in the intramural program on the university campus was evidenced in the results ob tained from interviews with rep resentative men, Thursday. Seek ing the opinion and expression of the various fraternities, the Daily N-.braskan is printing a ballot in today's issue to determine the number of organiztions that are interested in the project and are willing to support such an activity. The majority of the students in terviewed agreed that there are a number of individuals in almost every organization that would be interested in an intramural debate program. "There is a certain element in school that would enjoy and profit by such a program. Certain men are interested in debate just as others are interested in athletics. Both groups should have an op portunity to carry out their inter ests," Dick Devereaux, Alpha Tau Omega, asserted. Rudy Vogeler, chairman of the intramural sports, stated in an in terview early in the week that de bating as an intramural activity was acceptable if there was a great enough demand for it and if there was enougn interest snown. It could be established as one of the intramurals through the in- tramurals office if such an inter est were shown, Mr. Vogeler stated. Express Favorable Views. The value of forensic activity was acknowledged by all of the men. Learning how to organize thoughts, coherent expressions and the necessity to think on ones feet, were some of the advantages pointed out. "It is a good Idea. There are some men in every house who are interested in pubUc speaking and debate. It teaches a person to or ganize his thoughts and to express himself coherently," was the opin ( Continued on Page 2.)
