November 11. will mark the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice. It was a glorious day. a year ago. -when we first received the news, a day we can never forget. Would it not be well for the University to pause for a moment and in some manner pay tribute to Nebraska's men who helped bring victory about? SATURDAY'S PROSPECTS With the possibility of six regulars being out of the Cornhusker lineup Saturday, prospects are far from bright for a victory over Mis souri, but somehow Nebraska is confident that the team will acquit itself with honor. Injuries and hard luck have lowered Nebraska standards, while our opponents are conceded to have a stronger team than usual. But whether we win or whether we lose, it is certain that the Tigers will find themselves pitted against a game Cornhusker team that will fight every minute of the fray. STAMPING OUT DISHONESTY Another step in the direction of student self-government will have been taken by the University of Nebraska when the honor system or spirit has been put upon a workable basis. It is incumbent upon each member of the student community not to maintain a mere passive at titude, but rather to take an active part in stamping out dishonesty in its various forms. The student body governs and criticizes its own conduct and each member of this student body must thoroughly understand that cheat ing in an examination, in addition to being a detestable act, injurious to the community, is a direct theft of knowledge by one man from the fellow-student at his elbow. Neither party to this joint responsibility ought to fail to live up to the obligations which he has assumed. No community can assert the right for self-government until its numbers have proved both individually and collectively that they are competent and morally responsible. Honesty is an essential founda tion structure for all organizations, and for none more than that com posed of students, who should have the highest standards of all. The system of the past, where each student has been forced to do honest work because his instructors stood over him as a kind of armed guard, and the "monitor system" prevailed in its most odious forms, will be swept away when the individual realizes that he has entered a self-respecting university and that different ideals are to govern his life. STUDENTS AND WORLD LEAGUES Regardless of the fate of the present League of Nations covenant, a lasting sentiment has been aroused favoring some similar project to strengthen the ties of brotherhood between nations. International fra ternalism has a stronger foundation than ever before. New societies for the promotion of trade, scientific, humanitarian and many other interests throughout the world have been springing up since the close of the war. Objections have been raised only to the form of a league and not to the idea of a society of nations. Closer international co-operation is approaching steadily, and should the generation now in power fail to establish a workable inter national organization, it will be the task of the incoming leaders of the world who are now studying that they may be. fitted for the job ahead of them.

DISCHARGED AND CHARGED Each June when colleges and schools throughout the country are finishing their terms, the last week is usually taken up with dances and entertainments called "Finals." Later exercises are held and diplomas given stating that the holders have completed certain courses. Such evercises bear the title of "Commencement." Why should a ceremony which marks the conclusion of studies, which may never again be taken up, be called by a name signify ing beginning, rather than completion as in the other features? The reason is that the dances and entertainments are really the last which those who attend will take part in as students, while the completion of the school or college course marks the entrance into life, the commencement of responsibilities for which the educa tional course was but the preparation. "Diplomas,' called more formally Honorable Discharge Certifi cates, are being given to the largest graduating class in the history of the United States. They certify that the holder has been is charged from a duty well done, but they have a broader signifi cance for a discharge ceremony partakes of a "commencement" -is well as of "finals." No one doubts but that America is now entering upon a period richer in promise than any that have passed. It rests with the men who has worn khaki or blue to insure that the full possibilities of that period are accomplished, for he has had an opportunity to see what America is capable of, to realize what power unified purpose can give, and to become convinced that for him there is lo country comparable to his homeland. Because, therefor he has gained something which can only be fully appreciated by one who has experienced the thrill of "Re treat" or "Colors." tb-re exists an obligation to show others less fortunate how the prosperity and success of the nation and the in dividual can be advanced by the same spirit.

John Andrew Holmes, pastor or the First Congregational church, tell why students, and others, should go to church. They will appear, one at a time, in the Daily Nebraskan every Friday.

STUDENT OPINION To the Editor of The Daily Nebras kan The statement was made yester day that "We never have noticed any fatalities resulting from attending a mid-week dance." Maybe not, but a few persons' scholarship certainly shows the difference. Another statement was: "It seems to us that a student truly interested in his work will see that it is done be fore he makes mid-week engagements, whether dances or otherwise." It is true, of course, we are all so perfect that we see that our work is done be fore accepting dates. Since when is It necessary to have a delinquent comj mittee, and why is it so overworked? In my mind it is not a matter of a mid-week dance being different from movies or star-gazing, but the differ ence is that a dance has preference al ways. A student will accept a dance date when they would not accept a date to attend the movies. This is an opportunity for the stu dents to decide for themselves a cam pus problem. Are we going to think of the greatest good for the greatest number, or are we going to selfishly decide for dancing just because we personally are interested? The dissatisfaction of the voters of the state was also mentioned. Why are they dissatisfied? Where do they get their information? Aren't you the son or daughter of some voter? It would seem to me he had had pretty accurate first hand information. We, of course, are strong, and no re striction in regard to our dates are needed, but I wonder about our neigh bors sometimes, and wonder just whose example they are following. If other schools have more stringent rules and don't live up to them, that is We have foreseen conditions by long advance buying, which enables us to meet your require- ments at the price you want to pay. $1.50 and up SHAPIRO'S Men's Shop- g Formerly Omaha Hat Factory 1234 0 St. Quality plus value equals 1 satisfaction imiiniiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiinmiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiii THEY SAY "Clothes do not make the man" But don't try going without them.

It is true "no man is so foolish as to attend mid-week dances if he does not feel that he can afford to do so," but nevertheless it is true that you sort of have to impress the girl in order to "gel by."
