HONOR IN CLASSES.
The honor system ha? not been
used in its full form at the Univer
sity of Nebraska, but it is generally
understood, especially in the profes
sional collepes, that anyone caught
securing information by dishonest
methods will be dropped; and there
is usually no chance of reinstate
ment. Nevertheless, "cribbing" seems
to be on the increase in many classes
this year.
He who uses hidden notes or texts
or who copies from the papers of
neighbors, is dishonest; there is no
half-way classification. Except, for
the example he sets, however, this
type of student is harmful to no one
but himself.
The offender who is likely to cause
the greatest trouble, and who is more
often overlooked, is that one who
waits until the instructor is out of
hearing, or until he leaves the room
momentarily, to ask someone for the
answer to an examination question.
If we neglect consideration of the
student who asks, it is still possible
to find many things in this practice
that are unfair in the extreme to the
studeint who is questioned.
Frst, a refusal to answer often
singles out a man as not being a
"cood fellow." Again, time that is
invaluable is lost in giving the neces
sary information to a student who
has failed to study.
In the last quarter examinations
there were several instances of sen
iors in professional colleges asking
classmates questions after the profes
sor had left the room. At any mo

encouraged to play it and this en
couragement can not come as long
as the, opportunities for becoming
members of a team are so narrowed.
This, in substance, was the argument
presented.
We atrree that football is a splen
did game and develops high qualities
of manhood. That is why we would
regret to see professionalism get it
in its clutches. One of the reasons
it is a splendid game and a moulder
of character is that it has been the
game of the true sportsman. The
commercial element has been a minor
factor. It is inspiring to watch a
man crash through the line at risk
of serious injury when nothing more
is at stake than the glory of the in
stitution he represents.
Develop the sport to apply to a
greater number? To that we would
say yes. But develop it along the
lines that it has been developed. De
velop it in the high schools and on
the back lots. Develop it in such
a way that its great benefit, sports
manship, will not be buried m the
ever-existing American commercial
ism. May the glorious game of foot
ball never become enmeshed in the
mire that has made professional base
ball a dollar and cents proposition.

An exchange from Washburn aaid

'Washburn probably stands alone in

For students going home the rail
roads had made a rate of fare and a
half for the round trip. Certificates
of registration were to be gotten
from the registrars office, taken to
the Missouri Pacific office to be sign
ed (price twenty-five cents) and
then presented to the ticket office of
whatever road was to be traveled.
A very enjoyable time was exper
ienced by a number of University
students on the lake near the Fair
grounds. The ice was in unusually
good condition and the calm weather,
together with the moonlight evening,
made the conditions for skating
ideal.
Ten Years Ago
Warnings were issued that the stu
dents should not continue the prac
tice of buying presents for teachers.
A rule issued by the board of regents
said "No person employed by the
regents as an official or as a pro
fessor or teacher, of any rank, shall
receive any presents from any stu
dent or students of the University
during' his term of such employ
ment" Three banquets had been given the
football team in three days. One
night they were entertained in Lin
coin, the next in Omaha and the
third evening again in Lincoln.

COW-COLLEGE EDUCATION.
Percy Marks, author of "The Plas
tic Age," in an address given this
week before a group of university
students at Columbia, Mo., made the
statement that "cow-colleges" are
not a part of education.
Before taking exception to Mr.
Marks' statement we believe that a
word of explanation as to who he is
and what he has done might not be
amiss. Suffice it to say that Mr.
Marks was a professor in Brown uni
versity, and that "The Plastic Age"
is a rather daring, very realistic, and
true to life novel of modern college
and fraternity life.
The only excuse for Mr. Marks'
statement about "cow-colleges" and
education can be attributed to plain
downright ignorance on his part He
seems to be laboring under the im
pression, which is quite common
amon? the uninformed, that because
raent the professor might return ; he a school carries the word ""grioui
THE JAZZ BAND.
The American jazx band has been
criticised and commended in so many
ways that any original opinions on
the subject are a welcome relief.
Following is a German view, quoted
from the New York Tribue:
"The man who operates the
auto horn, bells, sandpaper, cym
bals and other 'traps' in a mod
ern jazz band is a cross between
a circus clown and an epileptic
person, in the opinion of P. G.
M. Kruse, writing in the Acht
Uhr Abendblatt
"The jazz band,' he con
tinues, 'is the expression of the
psychic structure of the modern
human being. It typifies the
irony of today these helpless
human beings, who, to be sure,
can build zeppelins and invent
radios, but who simply invent be
cause every new invention con
clusively calls for ten additional
ones. These human beings, with
their childlike ambition, are even
endeavoring to reach Mars, and
they stumble and tumble about
on this little bit of earth, nerv
ous, hysterical, all in a mixup.
" 'Ah, the jazz band is terribly
true with its cymbals, sirens and
drums. It combines the unrhyth
mical, the demoniac, and the con
fused, and at the same time con
tains the native, the helpless
and the mysterious.' "
Set Time Limit For
Space Reservations
Fifty-eight organizations have al
ready reserved space in the Corn
busker. Every organization which
wishes a place in the book must re
serre the space in advance at the of
fices of the business staff.
All organizations, other than fra
ternities and sororities, must hsre
their reservations at the office before
Friday, December 19. No space
will be reserved after this date.
Mr. Marks in his address also de
clared that education teaches one
about himself and how to live and
that the agricultural college does not
offer this type of education. Where
in. Mr. Marks, does the agricultural
college lack this important function?
The enrollment in such schools is al
most as larse as that of the so-called
universities. The courses of study
are iust as varhed. the opportunities
offered are practically the same. Just
where does the agricultural college
fall down in teaching one how to
live? Yrat is it in the university
that enables it to better perform this
function? Here again is evident
Mr. Marks lack of information on
the scope of the agricultural college
After reading a report of Mr
Marks' talk we are forced to believe
that he is trvir.g to bolster up a wan
ing reputation for sensationalism
When his "Plastic Age" first ap
peared, it created much discussion
and interest, and he received consid
erable national notoriety when be
was ousted from a professorship in
Rrown university for writing tne
book.
Nevertheless, disregarding Mr
Marks' perverted idea of "cow-col-
lezes." some other ideas he expound
ed are really valuable. He states
that too many men and women are
going to college now and this large
number tends to drag down the tone
and standards of the institutions. Un
doubtedlv this is true and, as Mr.
Marks says, the mad scramble for
new students by alumni and college
presidents is to be regretted.
But any person who has created
as much interest in himself as Mr.
Marks has should be more careful
about making such ridiculously false
statements concerring "cow-colleg
es" and education. Kansas State
