Public sentiment on the campus has it that one of the candi
dates for the position of Editor-in-chief of the Daily Nebraskan has
been selected. The Nebraskan is unable to make public, through its
columns exactly what has been done regarding the matter because
no announcement has been made or will be made until after another
meeting of the Publication Board which will be held this noon.
Criticise this paper if vou must for not getting some of the campus
news but please be considerate enough at the same time 10 realize
that we are not in a position to publish as authoritative a story
which has not been released and will not be relased until after the
Publication Board meets today.
It does seem strange that the Nebraskan should not be m a
position to publish news with which a number of the students are
familiar but it mav be said at the same time, that the Nebraskan
has often been ealled to task for violating the rule of publishing
articles before they were made public. We must therefore refrain
from mentioning what the student body seems to have learned until
the official announcement is made. In the meantime we expect to
see the citv papers get the news and we in turn have called to our
attention the fact that we have lost a story. What would you do!
You would, in all probability do just what we are doing; wait until
the power over you says, "all right."

FORUM
The committee recently appointed
by the University Commercial club
to Investigate the men's Students'
Unions In operation at other large
universities, has completed its inves
tigation. As soon as the rush of ex
aminations is over it will take up the
matter here with authorities and dif
ferent organizations.
The union is a permanent institu
tion in practically all the large east
ern universities and is being taken
up by the western schools Minne
sota, Wisconsin, and Iowa each hav
ing established one.
There are six things which the un
ion will do for a University. First, it
will develop a true university spirit;
second, stimulate the social side of
education; third, improve the stand
ard of social activities; fourth, en
thuse the undergraduates with democ
racy; fifth, provide wholesome recrea
tion in attractive surroundings, and
sixth, the union will draw students
to the university.
Nebraska needs a union. Why not
everyone boost for one? Attend the
Commercial club dinner tonight and
hear it discussed.
Editor Daily Nebraskan:
Again the examination period is
drawing near, and with its approach
comes the question of cheating in ex
aminations. In your editorial of this
date, an4 on your front page, you
urge the students to be honest, but
your plea will fall upon deaf ?urs.
Until the honor system is established
in the University, there is sure to
be dishonesty praciiced during the ex
amination period.
When a student by means of dis
honest practices gains information
during the examination, he not only in
jures himself, but he also works a
hardship upon those in the class with
him. By unfair means he has raised
his own grade above what it should
be and has made it appr-tr that honest
st idents in the class ?i' not as de
serving of a good grade tz be
Suppose that a studen: v ho is hon
est is capable of atta'nina a raiie
cf seven -fire and that the student
si i bits text to him is Jishr.ncsl and
is only capable of attaining a grade
of sixty-five, but by dishonest methods
during the examination he raises bis
grade to eighty. He is injuring him
self, but not to such an extent as he
is injuring the honest student next to
him. The professor, unless he happens-to
apprehend the dishonest, stu
dent, has no way of knowing that the
honest student is the better student of
the two.
There is only one way in which this
condition may be remedied and that
is by means of the honor system,
properly established and carried out
Until we have the honor system, pleas
for honesty in examinations will be
in vain and after the honor system is
once installed they will not be needed.
Yours for a better Nebraska,
B. W. T.
