NOT ONE-SIDED.
The statistics of the Colgate game
reveal some startling facts. Here is
one of these "freak" games in which
a team, though outplayed at least to
the extent of one touchdown, out
yards the opposing squad, earns more
first downs and is thrown for a
smaller total of losses.
Explanation is difficult, it at all
possible. One light-shedding fact is
that Nebraska lost considerably more
through penalties. Another point is
that the Colgate team was faced by a
lineup composed largely of substi
tutes in the last quarter when the
easterners made many of their gains.
In spite of all these qualifications,
the game was not as one-sided as the
score of S3 to 7 indicates. It was
not exactly a walk -away.
Nebraska cannot expect many
more Christmas presents like one of
the touchdowns yesterday. Games
just as hard even harder are com
ing. Five regulars on the 'Colgate
first string are playing their first
year of college football. Not a few
of the Valley teams have almost in
tact lineups.
EXAMINATIONS.
The recent quarterly examinations
have, as most examinations do,
aroused some discussion of whether
tests are, after all, fair to the stud
ent. Precedent will prevent the abo
lition of the custom of giving exam
inations for some time, but it is nev
er to late to consider the good and
evil of anything.
There are difficulties in the way
of grading students on the basis of
daily work, and the giving of exam
inations present a much more con
venient method of determining rela
tive standings. Hence, the practice
exists.
The examination, however, tends
to concentrate the time spent in
study in the few days immediately
before the test, and so defeats in a
measure the object of study. The ob
ject of study, it is generally conced
ed today, is to develop and train
thinking power the intellect. Train
ing of the brain, it is not difficult to
see, can best be accomplished by
steady exercising of its powers, just
as development of the physical man
is accomplished by continual exer
cising.
Another point in favor of doing
away with examinations is that in
some classes it is found necessary to
depend almost entirely upon the re
sults of examinations for grading. In
this case a mistake of -oversight de
ducts the same amount from the av
erage of one student as absolute ig
norance of the matter does from the
average of another.
A third argument advanced by the
abolitionists is that the specific ques
tions are unfair in an examination in
such a subject as English. The in
structor asks: "What does the author
of the text say about ?" or
"Outline matters to be observed in a
consideration of clearness."
AN INTERESTING PROBLEM
The letter in the student opinion
column today is worth reading sev
eral times. It points the way to a
sane discussion of the fraternity
problem in American universities.
The question is an interesting one.
There are two sides to it, as the con
tributor writes, and as long as those
who engage in the discussion keep
an entirely detached viewpoint Both
ing but good would result from c
controversy on the question.
Great difficulties have always
stood in the way of discussing the
problem difficulties of prejudice.
The fraternity man is intolerant of
criticism from one whom be thinks
knows nothing of the matter, and ihe
non-fraternity man is equally
PRAISE.
To th Editor:
Please convey my compliments to
the writer of the editorial on Friday
last on "College and the Mob Mind."
We had a saying in the Horse Ma
rines that "if every man will curry
his own horse there will be less kick
ing." But such intelligent criticism
is so rare that it deserves a modest
cheer. And now comes Mr. Johan-
sen with somewhat the same criti-
. . - .1
cism. To oe sure ne empnasizes me
origin of fraternities, but that is
only one aspect of his dissent. For
the origin of a frat is one thing, while
its bearing on the future and pres
ent is quite another. And it is this
latter side which is to us the more
important.
Now all will agree that fellowship
is essential to the normal individual
for joyous living and sane develop
ment. And fraternities are an ex
pression of that need.- It is admit
ted also that the institution is an im
perfect one. The question then be
comes as to whether it promotes the
kind of fellowship which all men
long for.
Even a friendly critic might say
that the frat subordinates individual
ism to what is believed to be the in
terests of the we-group; that the
friendship circle is unduly narrowed;
that the basis or common ground of
the group is on a set of values which
are not of the highest importance.
And there's the rub. For every man
is free more or less to say what he
shall regard as important. Some say
football, parties, campus activities,
are the chief elements in the life as
it is and should be lived. Others
place the emphasis on scholastic
achievement, i. e., grades, while oth
ers are interested in an all-around
education. There is no disputing
over tastes it is said, and so we pro
ceed to convince the other fellow of
the error of his ways. And by our
actions, our clothes, our associates,
we emphatically state our preferences.
Of course, a great deal of the dis
cussion from both sides is based on
a resentmept complex. It is special
pleading and should be discounted as
such. But there is a real issue in
the matter, which cannot be evaded,
and which awaits answering or set
tlement. Your editorial, which stood
out "like a great rock in a weary
land" indicates the attitude which
will be helpful in the solution. One
must see that the question has two
sides. Please overlook the imperfec
tions of matter and manner in this
hasty note, F. H.
THE PRESIDENT AGREES.
To the Editor:
Mr. Gaffney's article in the Tues
day Nebraskan expresses the feeling
of the Y. "W. C. A. Cabinet in regard
to our Vesper services.
At the beginning of the year, ev
ery sorority was requested by our
secretary not to give credit for at
tendance at Vespers as an activity.
Many of the houses have complied.
Vespers is a religious service, and we
are seeking through it to develop a
greater spirit of devotion in the lives
of the women at the University of
Nebraska.

President, Y. W. C. A.

Twenty Years Ago
The registration of four new stu

the registration for the fall term
slightly exceeding 200. This insures
a larger enrollment than last year. A
larger number of the students are
taking full work in the academy.
At convocation Dr. Ross gave an
instructive talk on "The War Against
Political Corruption." He said that
there were four degrees of corrup
tion: first, individual bribery; sec
ond, bribery of a whole legislative
body; third, the refusal to vote for a
necessary law without being paid;
and fourth, contributions to cam
paign funds. In conclusion he said
that the outlook was not very Tosy.
