Among Students
For half a year students and faculty at the
University of Washington have quibbled over
the problem of students cheating in examina
tions." After the blame was shoved back and
forth j'rom students to faculty a number of
times, investigations were made and a number
of interesting results obtained.
A large number of selected students were
secured last spring and asked to observe the
cheating during examinations and make a
report thereon. A total of 227 individual
reports were received this fall covering 151
separate courses in 38 departments. The find
ings of the committee which reviewed the
reports were listed :
'1. Cheating Increased directly with the size
of classes.
"2. There was more cheating In true-false
examinations than in the blue books.
'3. Practically the same amount of cheating
was found to exist in detailed as in general
examinations.
"4. There was more cheating in examinations
judged by student observers to be unfair than
in those judged to be fair.
"5. More cheating occurred when the instruc
tor was absent from the room during the exam
ination. "6. There was more cheating where the seat
ing was crowded than when it was spaced.
"7. There was considerably more cheating on
examinations in which observers judged there
were numerous opportunities than in those hav
ing no such opportunities.
"8. There was more cheating in non-technical
courses than in technical courses.
"9. Cheating was less prevalent in courses in
which the student was more directly interested
or which had a more obvious bearing upon the
student's educational objective."
As a result of these findings the committee
made the following recommendations:
"1. The instructor should be in the room at
all times during the progress of the examina
tion. He should feel a direct responsibility for
preventing cheating.
"2. In all classes containing over fifty stu
dents a proctor should be provided, say for each
additional twenty-five students.
"3. The seating should be spaced, or if this
is Impossible, alternate sets of questions or some
similar device should be used.
"4. The instructor should make a conscien
tious effort to formulate examinations that will
appeal to the class as a fair test of their
knowledge of the subject.
"5. It is further recommended that a com
mittee composed of both students and faculty
be appointed by the president to study ways and
means of developing in the student a proper
attitude toward his university work. While
some study has been made along this line by
the present committee, it is a matter which it
is believed can now be handled better by a new
committee as herein suggested."
These recommendations come from a faculty
committee and are the result of half a year's
study. The honor system and student cheating
problem has been discussed on thin campus be
fore, but nothing has ever been done about it.
Xo doubt, students on this campus cheat as
much as do the Washington students. But no
one 6eems to care much nor would it do any
good for them to care. If the student feels it
necessary to cheat in order to pass the exam
and feels also that his conscience, if any, will
not torment him, he will cheat.
Besides that, it certainly cannot detract from
the honest student's standing or character if
soemone else cheats. Of course, a student who
knows very liitlc of the subject may get a
higher grade than his more intellectual com
rades who do not cheat, but such a condition
will neither add nor subtract from anyone's
knowledge. People say it is unfair for one stu
dent to cheat and others who are more, consci
entious .or shall we say more timid, not to. But
we might also say that there are a lot of other
things going on in every day life that are
equally as unfair a discrimination between
the strong and the weak ;the honest and the
dishonest.
The above recommendations made by the
Washington committee are alright, and they
may serve to give a clearer light on the sub
ject, but they are not going to lessen the stu
dent's desire to cheat. The investigation and
report, however, may be of interest to those
who would have either the honor system or a
more rigid police system on this campux.
The University of North Carolina has adop
ted a skunk as the official mascot for all ath
letic contests.
lu courses taught on the same campus. Them
has been existing too long a marked breach be
tween students of the agriculture and down
town campuses. At times, this breach is no self
evident that hostility is felt by members of one
group for those of another .Such a condition in
university audi as Nebraska is warrunted un
necessary and should be changed. ,
Wc arc all ostensibly, ideally, and actually
fellow members of the samo society that
which functions within the walls of "Univer
sitas Xcbraskensis." There is no justification
for thee existence, of lines of discrimination,
other than those of friendy rivalry, between
groups within that society.
Tt would seem probable that some false pride
or sense of undue prominence of position exists
in the minds of students who choose to vale
themselves above others by reason of their
choice of vocation. Such differences do not
exist ; there is no caste system within this so
ciety; and the student who attempts to create
one within his own mind is arguing errone
ously and fallaciously.
The success of any society is dependent upon
the strength and co-operation prevalent among
members. All students, be they preparing them
selves for intensive farming according to new
and improved methods which will make for in
creased production and better economic condi
tions; or be they planning to deal in the theo
retical field of economies to explain the phe
nomena of business relationships, all are con
tributing to a future greater university, state
and nation. The breach between the college of
agriculture and colleges upon the down town
campus should be gulfed. Let each of us give
praise where it is deserved! Congratulations
to the American Royal Livestock show winners!

The Bieach
Announcement was made in the last two suc
cessive issues of the Daily Xebraskan of the
achievement of College of Agriculture students
at the American Royal Livestock show at Kan
sas City. The girl's meat judging team won
first place, and the crop judging team took
second. Except for college of agriculture stu
dents ,this announcement probably was ac
corded little notice. And, such a situation is de
plorable. Too little recognition of achievement made
by individuals or groups connected with the
college of agriculture is granted by fellow
members of the same university if not enrolled

MORNING MAIL
Saved by the Bell.
TO THE EDITOR:
I have always understood that when a bell
rang at the end of a class period, that class
was supposed to be dismissed. But I am begin
ning to think that I am mistaken. Perhaps that
bell menus that the instructor is to be warned
that the next class period will begin in ten
minutes. Perhaps that bell means that someone
is ringing for the janitor. Perhaps it means
that there is a fire in the building. Perhaps it
means that another issue of Fire and Sword
has just come out. But there is no perhaps
about this fact: ten minutes is not too much
time to get from Morrill hall to the school of
music. The point of this letter is this: profes
sors should dismiss their classes when the bell
rings and not five minutes later. The instruc
tor in the student's next class doesn't like, to
admit. 1o class late a student who says that the
insructor in his previous class talked overtime.
GRIPED.
More Time.
TO THE EDITOR :
Xow that the Military, ball is approaching,
it seems that it would be iu order to advance a
suggestion concerning the length of the affair.
The parties at this so-called institution have al
ways been ended at 11 :30 so that the ee-eddys
caii get the co-eds in by 12:30. However I
think it is generally agreed by everyone, ex
cept the administrations, that the length of
such outstanding events as the Military ball,
the Jnterfraternity ball and the Junior-Senior
prom should be extended to 1 o'clock. This, of
course, would make it necessary for the girls
to be allowed to remain out until 2:00 o'clock.
At the Military ball, especially, the presenta
tion of the Honorary Colonel takes quite a bit
of chunk out of the regular dancing time.
Undoubtedly this hour will appear to the
Dean as rather late to be getting in, but since
this would occur only on few occasions 1 don't
believe that this would be too drastic a move.
At other schools the length of all the promin
ent affairs is extended far beyond that, of or
dinary parties, and for such parties as have
been mentioned it would be well to follow that
practice here, at .Nebraska. Our parties here
only get started before they end.
BLl'RP.
The Mew Editions.
TO THE EDITOR:
At the beginning of each semester, students
are forced to pay out to the various book con
cerns, thousands of dollars for new books,
whereas second-hand books are a dead loss in
their hands causing them to lose thousands of
dollars morn.
Jt seems that each year the publishers must
put out a new edition of all their books, so as
to make them up-to-date in every way, regard
less of whether new material is added or not.
The professors in this institution,, wishing
their students to have every advantage, de
mand the new editions to be used ,and the edi
tions of the year before becomes obsolete.
Of course, the publisher must be sympa
thized with ,and the ardent interest of the pro
fessors for their students education must be
applauded, but must we sympathize and ap
plaud a practice that costs tin students thou
sands of dollars yearly? It is true that the
publisher must make minute changes in the
texts so as to warrant a new edition, other
wise they wouldn't have any business. It is
also true that the professor must insist on the
new editions or he wouldn't have a job.
It has been admitted that the publishers
must resort to such a practice, to be able to
make money. They are in their business for
that. If they make an improvement in the text
of their books, if the text of their books was
in some part obsolete, or a total rearrange
ment was necessary to insert new material, the
practice could be justified. But when the gen
eral thought and body of the text is kept in
tact, in some cuses identical, or if when the
chapters are merely rearranged ,the practice
is not justified, and the professors become ac
complices in the crime.
Just what can be done about this practice
is problematic, but with the school authorities
crying, economize ,the papers writing econo
mize and the parents of these students warn
ing, economize, something should be done by
the university to save these thousands of dol
lars for the students. D. T.

a close position behind the line, hit
off the Iowa State right guard and
ran 80 yards for a touchdown. He
literally outran the Cyclone sec
ondary, duplicating his stunt at
Kansas State last week when he
ran back a punt for over seventy
yards and at ouchdown. George
Koster came back from his guar
position and sent the ball sailing
through the goal posts to add the
extra point.
Iowa State chose to kick after
the score and Nebraska started
right back down the field. Kreiz
inger took the kickoff on his 10
yard line and returned twenty-four
yards to the Nebraska 34-yard
line. Paul and Sauer then alter
nated carrying the ball for short
gains. Nebraska lost the ball, but
Brown took Bowen's kick an re
turned it ten yards to the Iowa
State 45-yard line. A long pass
from Sauer to Kreizinger was
good for twenty-four yards after
Sauer had hit the line for two
short gains. The Huskers had the
ball on the 11-yard line. Kreiz
inger made one over the Cyclone
right tackle. Paul then hit center
for ten yards and a touchdown,
crossing the goal line standing up.
Koster's kick was low and the
score stood, Nebraska 13, Iowa
State 0.
Makes Placement.
Late in the second quarter, Mas
terson and Manley worked the ball
down to the Iowa State 14-yard
line, but the Cyclone forwards
stopped the running attack there.
Masterson then stepped back and
kicked a placement ending the
Husker's scoring until the fourth
quarter.
Both teams battled back and
forth in the third period with no
serious scoring attempts. Iowa
State went on a passing spree, but
the Husker backs broke up most
of the attempts and Iowa was
forced to kick.
In the fourth quarter, with the
wind at their backs, the Huskers
again started their powerful offen
sive drives. Bowen kicked out of
bounds on the Iowa State 35-yard
line. Bauer hit the line for no gain
and the Husker's were penalized
five yards for off side. Bauer threw
a beautiful pass to Masterson
which was good for fourteen yards.
Paul ran the Iowa left end for nine
yards. Penny made a first down on
the Iowa State 14-yard line. Paul
