Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as "econ"
clasa mail matter, under the act of Congress of March S, 17.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1916
The faculty is against cheating and cribbing" in examinations.
So are we, but what good docs that do as long as no action is taken?
If one student sees another cheating in an examination he knows
better than to "squeal" because he realizes that under conditions
as they exist the "squealer" will come out of the ordeal showing
more scars than will the cheat, The attitude of the faculty is no
doubt the proper one but why has the condition become so serious
before some definite action has been taken! Students go so far as
to make open statements, probably unfounded, that in some classes
as many as seventy-five per cent of the students are stealing their
grades in one way or another.
If nothing definite is done or if nothing of consequence can be
done by the faculty, is it out of the question to believe that the
students themselves will soon get together in a mass meeting andj
formulate some plan or plans which will aid in abolishing such dis-j
graceful practices? Surely after such a meeting has been held any)
student formerly addicted to the habit, for it is a habit and a bad
one, will be ashamed to have any of his acquaintances catch him in
an act condemned by the student body.
Some schools have the honor system developed to the point I
where any student caught "cribbing" or cheating is immediately
asked to leave the institution and if he fails to act upon the sugges
tion, is expelled. That, of course, is what some would call an ideal
situation and more than we can expect here at this time, but what
is wrong with bettering the situation as best are able?
