Huskers Take Affirmative
Side of Reparations
Proposition.
Nebraska met Drake Univer
sity in a radio debate Tuesday
afternoon on the proposition Re
solved: mat tne intergovernmen
tal World War debts and repara
tions should be cancelled. There
was no decision but the listeners
were requested to send in their
comments.
Nebraska on the affirmative
argued that it is impossible for
debtor nations to pay tne inter
governmental war debts and rep
arations in gold as the United
States has insisted; and that the
United States should accept a part
of the financial burden of the
war in consideration of some of the
services of the allies.
Chaos Would Result.
Drake contended that chaos
would result from the cancellation
of such a huge sum as the nine
billion dollars of war debts and
that serious troubles would arise
in regard to the fifteen billion dol
lars that is owed to private indi
viduals in the United States.
The speakers for Nebraska were
II. Vincent Broady and Howard L.
Holtzendorff. Drake was repre
sented by Murray Nelson and
Ovid Fitzgerald. The debate was
broadcast over station Ktuu.

Proposals Provide New
Criminr1 Uws for
Among the bills before the state
legislature that have connection
with the university are fourteen
proposals providing for a simplifi
cation of the state's code of crim
inal procedure. Inspiration for this
reform comes from Prof. Lester
B. Orfield at the college of law.
Professor Orfield, who is an in
structor of crimes and equity in
the college, stated that he had
been working on the project for
four years. The bills are part of
a model code prepared by the
American Law institute, an organ
ization of lawyers, judges and law
professors.
"I am not offering any reforms
as to appointments or personnel
since I have worked out no defi
nite program for them," the pro
fessor declared, "but I am confin
ing the reform to criminal pro
cedure because I consider it im
portant and have worked out a
definite program for it."

Orfield will be present at a
meeting of the judiciary commit

fourteen bills, all of which were
introduced at his suggestion.
Most important, in the opinion
of Orfield, is S. F. 197, introduced
by Srb, providing that a defendant
