PAIRINGS DRAWN
FOR INTRAMURAL
DEBATE PROGRAM
Seventeen Fraternities Will
Compete in Forensic
Tournament.
CHANGES MADE IN PLAN
Round Robin Plan Altered;
Replaced by System of
Elimination.
Pairings for the intramural de
bate program were announced by
Rudolf Vogeler, chairman of Intra
murala, Monday afternoon. The
question: "Resolved that compul
sory military training be abolished
at the University of Nebraska,
lias been chosen as the issue for
debate. Seventen fraternities will
participate in the elimination tour
nament for the award that will be
presented to the winner.
The VreseQt program deviates
from the former plan in several
respects. The original Delta
Sigma Rho plan, was to have the
debat3 be a round robin affair with
each fraternity meeting every
other member of the league. The
elimination program has replaced
this.
The first debate will be held at
the Delta Sigma Lambda house
April 19. Kappa Sigma will
argue against the hosts. The af
firmative team will entertain the
negative opponent throughout the
tournament.
"Intramural debate cannot be
put on the point system basis this
year because the point system has
been made out in advance. There
is n mipstinn as to whether intra
mural debate should be placed in
i he sport program. It may be pos
sible to establish it as a unit next
year, declared Rurtolf vogeier.
Four Dates Scheduled.
Eight debates will be held on
April 21, four on April 26, two on
April 28 and the final debate that
will decide the victor is scheduled
lor May 3.
The debates will be shorter
under the plan than under the for
mer one. Six minutes for main
speech and four minutes for re
buttal is the amount allotted. All
debates will begin at 7 o'clock and
will last for forty minutes.
Each debate will be judged by
one competent and impartial
iude-e that has had debating ex
perience. Any student that has
not been a member of the varsity
debate squad is eligible to repre
sent bis organization. A team
will consist of two members and
each house will be asked to take
both the affirmative and the nega
tive side of the question.
Delta Sigma Rho Sponsors.
Delta Sigma Rho, national for
ensic fraternity, took the initia
tive in launching the intramural
sporU program. The Daily Ne
braskan assisted in the sounding
out of student sentiment in regard
to the proposed program. A let
ter was sent by the debate hono
rary to the intramural managers
of the fraternities on the campus
that requested that the organiza
tions express their stand and aid
in the selection of a program.
"I don't see why it cannot be
worked up into quite an activity.

Professor Hicks Traces History of
Phi Beta Kappa Society From Birth
At William and Mary's in Year 1776
In the year 1776 at William ami Mary's college the first
Greet letter fraternity was founded and it was known as Phi
Beta Kappa. Today, one hundred and fifty-siv years later,
this Greek letter honorary is still in existence, many times
larger and more influential than it was tit the tiui it was
founded.
Prof. C. M. Hicks, secretary or"
Nebraska Alpha chapter, stressed
flpain vesterdav evening the in
portance of a good character for
election into P. B. K. Many times
it is thought that a student s
scholastic standing alone is con
sidered. Often the most disputed
candidates are those who are espe
cially high scholastically and have
a questionable character.
During the last ten years the
lowest average which was elected
into P. B. K. was 87.53, while the
highest was 96.08. Last year Miss
Mary Cannall held the highest
average, 94.74. According to a re
port from Professor Hicks' office
the highest average on the list of
eligible- candidates this year is
near to the 93 mark.

Mr. Schramm, who was former
ly vice president of the organiza
tion is a professor of geology at
Nebraska. He also is the faculty

Representatives of Groups
Will Attempt to Form '
Organization.
FACTION SHIFT POSSIBLE
New. Party Alignment., May
Be Apparent at Annual
Spring Election.
Seventeen barb students will
meet tonight at 7:30 in U hall,
as representatives of separate barb
groups in the process of combining
the unaffiliated students on the
campus into organized political
and social bodies. The representa
tives were chosen last Thursday
evening when a selected list of
rooming houses in which five or
more barb students were staying
here canvassed by speakers ap
pointed by the faction realignment
committee.
The speakers presented the plan
to the students at various rooming
houses visited, and one member of
each group was named to repre
sent his house in the formulation
of plans for the organizing of un
affiliated students. These chosen
representatives will meet with the
faction realignment committee
Tuesday night and attempt to find
some definite method for the unit
ing of barb students.
"At the meeting Tuesday," said
Edwin Faulkner, president of the
Student council and chairman of
the faction realignment committee,
"we want to complete the prelim
inary steps toward the resolving
of the barb groups into political
bodies. We suggest that the barb

SPENCE, '31, AMONG,
Member of Group Prevented
From Surveying Labor
Trouble in South.
Headlines for days have been
carrying the story of the difficulty
a group of students are having in
investigating the conditions in the
mining districts of Tennessee and
Kentucky. Willard Spence, '31,
Lincoln, is one of this group of
about 100 representing a number
of eastern colleges.
Spence, who was graduated from
the university last summer, is now
a student at the Union Theological
Seminary in New York City and
along with a number of others on
the trip had hoped to make, use of
the information rained for a
thesis.
These students, traveling in
buses, have been forced out of Ken
tucky and Tennessee because state
officials declared, "We don't want
a bunch of bolsheviks, communists
or anarchists interfering with the
peace of our citizens."
The charges have been denied by
the group and delegations have
called upon Gov. Ruby Laffoon of
Kentucky and Gov. Henry Norton
of Tennessee seeking state protec
tion In order to continue their in
vestigations into starvation, police
brutality, impossible working con
ditions and mine l$bor disorders in
which at least nine persons have
been killed. . .'
Students have keen threatened
and told never to return by sheriffs
and deputies, who in several in
stances are said to have brutally
assaulted several of the students.
State officials refused to aid the
students and an effort is to be
made to get a congressional in
vestigation of the labor conditions.
Spence has been appointed one
of the committee to confer with
President Hoover on the matter.

German ponucai guuanuu
Theta Sigma Phi alumnae meeting
with Miss Mamie Meredith, 2340
Sumner, Sunday afternoon.
Dr. Ginsburg, born in Russia,
left his native country after the
communistic revolution, and has
spent much of the time since in
Germany. Hitler he describes as a
compelling orator with an almost
fanatic love of Germany and a
hatred of France. Hitler's fascist
group has grown from seven per
sons who organized it in 1923. to
900,000 at present. He has a tre
mendous vitality and often speaks
at several meetings a day, two
hours at each meeting.
Dr. Ginsburg described Hitler's
hold on the German people as the
hold of despair. Altho he has many
intellectuals in his organization hiu
attitude toward them is much the
same as that of the communists.
When President Von Hindenburg
dies, and he is very old, Hitler will
be the only man left with suffi
cient hold on the people to take
over the power, Dr. Ginsburg said.
Hitler like most politicians gains
much of his influence by exag

carry into effect, should he attain

Reorganization Probable.
Reorganization of departments
within the universitv will also con
stitute, one of the major items in
the reduction program, according
to the chancellor. Most recent
nmnnir rpnrpani7jtinn steDS is thd
combination of the department of
astronomy witn tne mamemaucs
department under the direction of
Prof. a. I.. Cnndv and the read
justment within the music depart
ment, announced aunaay.
A year ago similar action was
taken when the department of bac
teriology, under the direction of
the late Dr. H H. w ane was com
hmpri with the zooIoetv department
with Dr. R. H. Wolcott in charge
of both. At me same ume me
classic department, formerly
headed by Dr. Clarence G. Lowe,
resigned, was combined with the
history department, with Dr. C. H.
Oldfather in charge.
Readers' salaries, under the
budget slash, have been reduced
from 40 to '35 cents an hour. The
chancellor denied the report in an
Omaha paper which declared a six
hour day and a five day week had
been adopted for laborers on me
campus.
"For a while,' he explained,
"when labor was short the crews
were divided, but the men are paid
according to the hours they work
and no five day week is in force.-'
Ag Revenue Lowered.
A falling off of $80,000 in re
ceipts from sales of livestock and
other produce at the Agricultural
college has helped lower univer
sity revenue. About $15,000 los,s
from interest on endowment
funds, largely due to lower inter

causing the retrenchment pro
