Fairness, control, humor, personal interest In the pupils and mastery of the subject make a good teacher, is the expression of several hundred Iowa freshmen from their experience in elementary and secondary schools. "Externals make virtually no dif ference in the regard of the pupil for the teacher," explains Professor Knight. "The lists of 'best teachers' included men and women, old and young, experienced and otherwise, attractive and reverse, first grade teachers and instructors of high school seniors." Far in the lead stands the quality of absolute fairness, according to Professor Knight's report. Children demand equality in the class-room Blood and Spongier are Speakers at Banquet Thirty-five students attended the joint banquet of Alpha Kappa Psi and Delta Sigma Pi, honorary fraternities in the College of Bus iness Administration at the Grand hotel Thursday evening.

Tau Kappa Epsilon, coming from behind to win over the Delta Tau Deltas, 13 to 12, proved the main at traction of Thursday's games of the interfratemity basketball tourney. Sigma Phi Epsilon won without d f ficulty over Lambda Chi Alpha, 63 to 5. Acacia won a hard-iougni 1111 from Delta Chi 16 to 5. Phi Sigma Kappa won by default over Mu Sigma. Class B Came Begin In the initial showing of the Class B games, Phi Gamma Delta defeated Pi Kappa Phi 8 to 3, and Phi Sigma Kappa won from Alpha Gamma Rho 13 to 1. The Tau Kappa Epsilon gained their lead over Delta Tau Delta in the dying moments of a fast and hard-fought game. The lead see sawed between the two teams at the start and at the half the Delta lead 9 7. Yordy and Siekman came back the second half fast and furious and soon had the score tied. With only four minutes to play, Yordy sank the basket that proved to be the deciding factor. The Deltas were un able to tie the score in the last mm ntoa but manv of their attempts rolled about the hoop. S ekman was hic-h-Doint man wfth four points while Yordy's floor work advanced the ball within scoring range. Acacia Score Kreitsinger looked good and was good, so Acacia took the lead and held it over the Delta Chis, finishing 16 t6 5. Kreits'nger scored 10 point? in his evening's work. Johnston and Johnson showed the best floor work of the evening for Delta Chi. Sigma Phi Epsilon ran up a score .Minst the Lambda Chi Alpha that sounds more like a golf tally than a basketball score. Miller took the ball frm the tin-off and placed it in tne hoop and continued doing so for 10 more times thus making mmseii vne high-tally man of the waiK-away. Lambda Chi offered little resistance so Hecht and Kahler started follow ing Miller's lead. Lundy scored two baskets for Lambda Chi Alpha. The game ended 63 to 6. Mu Sigma decided that it was close (Continued on Page Four.) THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, and are quick to perceive and resent the "playing of favorites." The easy teacher whose control is lax is not popular in the long run. If there appears to be any uncer tainty as to who is boss, the pupils I brand the teacher as incompetent. Humor is ranked third. Tupils do not want a professional comedian but neither do they like a perpetual gloom. Humorous situations are of ten arising In the class-room and the report indicates that pupils desire a j teacher who will recognize the fun of I the moment and enjoy it with them.

OPENS BOOK EXCHANGE New Enterprise Begins Busi ness Today; Students may Name Price on Old Books The Student Book Exchange opens today. At 7:45 o'clock this morning the new exchange for old books will be ready for business in the Temple, j Prior to the beginning of the second j semester, this new convenience will ibe prepared to accomodate the stu i dents in getting rid of their old j books and obtaining those required for second semester work. The stu dent may bring any used book to the Exchange where he may name his own price and leave the book to be sold. A list of books to be used in second semester courses will be avail able at the exchange. This list will bear the price of the text when new and will give the owner of the book an idea of what to ask for his used copy. Hayes Predicts Success "I can see no reason why this ex- change plan of ours should not be successful," said C. D. Hayes, secre tary of the Y. M. C. A. "It has been tried and proven in other schools that it is beneficial and I see no reason why it should not meet with favor at Nebraska." The Student Union at the University of Illinois has conducted a similar exchange for the past six years and is now hand ling about twenty-five percent of the book turnover at the university. With the proper support of the student body there is a chance of making the Book Exchange an even bigger suc cess at this University, thinks Mr. Hayes.

First place was given William Ccjnar for his story, "Prof. M. M. Fogg Passes Away After Long Al ness", written the evening of the death of Professor Fogg. All semes ter, Mr. Cejnar had been working directly under Mr. Fogg, handling the University News Service. Few outside of Professor Fogg's imme diate family were closer to him than Cejnar during his prolonged illness. During Professor Fogg's confine ment, he directed the work under his supervision from his bed. Many messages were handled for him by Cejnar. The prize winner was at his bedside but an hour before his death and carried numerous directions for the carrying on of work back to the School. With this background and influenced by the love which Profes sor Fogg inspired in his many assist ants during his years at the Univer s'tv. Mr. Cejnar turned out a story which was considered by the board of judges for the contest as one of the finest pieces of work ever pub lished in the Nebraskan. Valley Track Story m Second Second place went to Munro Kezer for his story "Six Valley Track Marks Smashed ; 4 by Nebraska", the story of Nebraska's victory in the Missouri Valley outdoor track and field championships held in Lincoln last spring.

FIRST ALUMNUS OF 1927 IS SENT OUT Feature Article Concern Immediate Relief of Chancellor A Tery From Active Duty The first issue of the Nebraska Alumnus for the year 1927 has re cently been issued. The feature article of the publica tion was the immediate renei oi Chancellor Avery from University duties, resulting from a break in iMltK (The Chancellor will take formal leave next September.) Reo-ent Warner's election to the Board of Regents, was the next ar ticle of importance. Under the new legislative law. Regent Seymour was declared ineligible for re-election and Stanley D. Long of Cowles, Ne braska, was named .in his place. Res ignations were received from Charles W.

Charles C. Weide mann, instructor in the Teachers' College, which appeared In the Jan uary number of The Nebraska Edu cational Journal. The report is based on unsigned statements written by members of the course In foundations of modern education at the Univer sity. The article in full, follows: "Approximately 850 students were asked to WTite an unsigned statement upon this question. The students were mostly sophomores in the Uni versity of Nebraska, registered in the course in Foundations of Modern Education. These statements were arbitrarily combined where identity of thought seemed evident, and sub sequently classified into an inven tory. No claim is made that this in ventory is either complete or accep table. It is a collection of unsigned, written ideas expressed by a group of students. It seems probable that some of the items are more or less important than other items equally prominent in the list The classified inventory follows: I. An instructor should: 1. Strive to be consistently pleasant, cheerful, patient and tactful. 2. Have a sense of humor. 3. Give attention to personal appearances. 4. Be broad and liberal in points of view.

II. Goodding emphasized in his talk at the first Ag College World Forum Luncheon at the College cf Agriculture campus yesterday noon.

SOUTH DAKOTA Split System Used First Tim At Nebraska t Similar De bate at Vermillion AUDIENCE VOTE TAKEN Question is Inclusion Principle Of Parliamentary Respon sibility In U. S. Entertained by the qu;ps of Maur ice Nelles, veteran South Dakota de hater, and the keen arguments of the Nebraska debaters, a small au dience listened to the split-team de bate presented by representatives from the University of South Dakota and the University of Nebraska at Memorial Hall Thursday evening on the question, "Resolved: That the government of the United States should be changed to include the principles of parliamentary responsi hil ty." The debate opened the 1927 season for Nebraska. At the same time, a similar debate was being held at Vermillion, South Dakota between other representa tives of the same schools. An au dience vote was taken before and after the debate in Memorial Hall to indicate any change in sentiment as a result of the debate. The swing of sentiment was so slight that no re sult could be determined. Slight Change in Audience Attitude Before the debate, six were favor able to the propos'tion, twelve were neutral, and ten were orpesed. After the debate, six were more favorable than they had been before, five were favorable, three were neutral, thir teen were opposed, and two were more opposed than before. Although debating a question more theoretical than practical, the de baters succeeded well in keeping the audience interested in their argu ments. George E. Johnson, Jr., opened the debate for Nebraska and the affirmative with a clear-cut an alysis of the question which was ac cepted throughout the debate. He pointed out in advoeat:ng the in clusion of the principle of parliamen tary responsibility, that there has al ready been a tendency toward a de crease in the separation of powers ind other features which distinguish our government from parliamentary governments. The differences between this coun try and England, the principal expon ent of the parl;amntary form, were emphasized by Charles Christopher son of South Dakota who opened the debate for the negative. Nelles Foregoes Formal Style A turn in the debate came when Maurice Nelles of South Dakota took the platform. Abandoning the formal style of debate, he mixed stories with arguments in an entertaining way. Essentially, he argued that we should adopt only such portions of the Eng lish form of government as we could readily adapt to our own. Elmer Thurow of South Dakota continued the negative case, main- tain'ng that the proposed plan would destroy our system of checks and balances and the separation of pow ers. He pointed out that these were needed in a country with as diversi fied interests as ours-- The affirmative constructive case was 'closed by Evert M. Hunt for Nebraska who pointed out the advan tage of being able to secure changes in the governmental force when de sired, instead of having to wait for another election. He showed that the cabinet would have greater responsi- (Continued on Page Four.)
