found In our Institution or else such
things would be supported. For ex
ample, Tuesday night a man, an ex
pert in his line, came all the way from
Chicago with no other mission than
to talk to the engineering students,
who numbered but about thirty-live,
when the lecture room should have
been filled.
Athletic support does not mean in
the least a true college spirit. The
officers of the societies work hard to
make the meetings for which they are
responsible as interesting, as prac
tical and as beneficial as possible, and
invite, or rather almost beg, the en
gineers to attend. This has been done
so much that the students think that
if they come it is to accommodate
and help out the officers. This is to a
large extent the true feeling, and it is
far from true. spirit. Engineers, it

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 3, 1915
"A man who looks at his diploma,
that has been secured by cheating, is
looking at a printed lie. It is in effect
a statement that he has earned suf
ficient credit to be graduated. If he
has cheated, he has stolen the credit
and his diploma is a lie." This state
ment was made by a professor before
his class yesterday morning. It would
be interesting indeed to look over the
diplomas of a graduating class if they
actually revealed the amount of credit
that had been earned and the amount
stolen.
The college daily at Illinois recently
made the statement that eighty per
cent of the students at that institution
cheated in. examinations. We venture
no guess on the percentage at Ne
braska, but only a blind man would
say that there is none.
It is a bad condition when the Uni
versity finds it necessary to hire
extra help during examination week
to watch students and keep them from
cheating. If our young men and
women need watching while in school
will they as alumni need watching to
keep them from stealing from their
employer's cash drawer?
that is the cause, and inainerence
toward our profession developed in
the University will stay 'vlth us in our
professional life. let us throw off
this indifference and acquire some
real college spirit and support the
things that the engineering college or
the branches try to push. The en
gineering student body must wake up
and let the rest of the institution
know that we are still on the campus.

THE FORUM
Engineers: '
If during the football season yau
ask the question, "Has the University
of Nebraska student body any college
spirit?" immediately every one an
swers that at no place has it been ex
celled. If you ask the same question
during the winter months you are
given the same answer and refered to
the football spirit. But if you go to
an engineering meeting, where there
is a chance to learn something prac
tical Rnmpthine not taueht in the
classroom or in books, a chance to
hear men from the profesional side of
engineering who can teach you more
real benefit than you can get by study
ing that length of time; if you go to
one of these meetings, I say, and see
only a little handful of enthusiasts
and officers, can vou then answer
"Has the University of Nebraska stu
iiont YnAv onv rnllftee sDirit?" You
hesitate to answer, but its a down
right fact that the engineering stu
dents haven't enough pep or interest
in their work or college to support
" anything but a banquet, where we are
fed for coming and are given a chance
to give vent to some rowdyism.
In the average college when a little
bulletin is posted for a meeting, you
find they have a full house, an appre
ciative audience of men who have had
injected into them REAL college
spirit not the kind that shows up in
rowdyism, not the sort that is shown
by a bunch yelling until they cannot
talk, but the kind that shows a real
interest in the profession, the kind
that never wavers with each breeze
The meeting of the 1915 Cornhusker!
staff in the offices on the fourth floor
of University Hall tonight will mark
the beginning of the home stretch on
the work, which must be completed in
the next eight weeks. Night work
will be rule hereafter and the many
departments will be rapidly closed up
and sent to the press.
The copy for the engraver is going
to Omaha daily and Editor Samuelson
is making the metropolis regularly
every Saturday to nurry uie wui..
The Senior and Junior plates have ar
rived and the photographs will be
nlaced and the entire copy given to
the engraverby the first of next week.
Three men have been working on the
copy for the two sections all this
week and they are grinding out pages
by the score.
Society Editors Ramona Troup and
Bill Folsom both reported yesterday
that they were on the job. Bill says
he has organized a complete system
of spies to pick up scandal at the
coming formals and from samples it
will be spicy.
Snapshots of prominent University
people are still in demand. Every
scene of interest which can be ob
tained is going into the big book and
the staff wants two hundred more
snaps before the last engraving copy-
is sent away. Every organization, fra
ternity and sorority is urged to gather
up pictures already taken or get their
kodaks busy immediately.
The feature and -scandal sections
are being handled by an unknown sex
tette. Nothing ever seen in past an
nuals will be used. Triteness is a
crime with this sextette, as is also
anything approaching tameness. Of
course, truth will be a leading factor.
but in this case the truth must also
be vitally interesting.

"From now on no candidate for
office will be allowed to distribute
personal cards to the student body,
on the campus or elsewhere." Such
was the announcement sent out from
headquarters yesterday. During past
elections those having a vote were
annoyed to death by overambitious
candidates. Cards were purchased in
quantity and forced upon everyone
whether they were desired or not.
Even during the recent election the
card system was worked and over
worked, but now since no one will be
permitted to use them conditions will
no doubt improve.
Another ruling has also been made
to the effect that all candidate for a
University office must check their
credits in the Registrar's office before
entering the race. By this method it
is hoped to avoid all ineligiblities.
