Instructors Disagree on Value of
Honor System for Under Graduates
BY HARRY FOSTER.
"Honesty isn't always the best
policy" and students cannot be
blamed for cheating if the in
structors put temptation in their
path was one of the facts brought
out In interviews with members of
the university faculty yesterday
concerning the honor system of
examinations as it operates else
where and its possibilities here.
"Under the present system, of
giving examinations, I think that
it is the duty of the instructor to
provide examinations that will
make it practically Impossible to
cheat as this is the only way of
protecting those students who do
not care to he dishonest," Dr. A. F.
Jenncss, associate professor in the
psychology department, stated.
W. E. Walton, another member
of the psychology department,
contended that it makes little dif
ference if the students are gov
erned by an honor system or not.
"A man is always on hla honor.
The system works out with stu
dents who wouldn't cheat anyway
and those who are accustomed to
cheating continue to do so." '
Don't Want Responsibility.
"Students themselves do not
want the responsibility of the
honor system settled upon their
shoulders, they would rather have
it elsewhere. The system worked
well at John Hopkins but circum
stances and conditions were differ
ent there because the majority of
the students were taking graduate
work," was the answer of H. W.
Stoke, of the political science de
partment who attended a school
where the honor system was in
effect
The psychological effect and in
fluence of the syBtem, and the way
it works out in most instances,
was discussed by the members of
the psychology department.
"The desire to make a good
grade would be stronger than the
desire to ease the conscience. This
desire is in reality the craving to
make a good impression on every
body. Until the majority of the
group will demonstrate in regular
exams that they can be trusted it
isn't advisable to use the honor
system in examinations," was the
further opinion of Mr. Walton.
Ideal Is Desirable.
The honor system is an Ideal
that is desirable, according to Dr.
Jenness, but students have not ad
vanced to the point where it is best

to have the system installed. "At
Northwestern the system worked
with fair success until after the
World war when a number of
army men enrolled who disre
garded the regulations. These in
dividuals took advantage of every
one and harmed the whole group."
"The honor' system Is likely to
be successful only where the ma
jority of the students are in favor
of It and request It. I do not think
that a small minority, either of
faculty or students, should force
an honor system on a student body
that does not want It," Dr. Jen
ness continued.
The blame and responsibility for
much of the cheating that goes on
during examinations was placed at
the door of instructors who do not
do all that they can to lessen
temptation. "Under the present
system of taking examinations, I
think that it is the duty of the in
structor to provide examinations
that make it practically Impossible
to cheat as this is the only way
of protecting the individual who
does not cheat. If there is an honor
system the examinations should be
so constructed as not to put
temptation in the way of the stu
dent." Crowding Increases Cheating.
Crowded class rooms tend to in
crease the amount of cheating. It
is almost Impossible not to give
occasional sideway glances when
you are seated next to a fellow
student. "If the individual had
more privacy in his work the
honor system might work out bet
ter,'' Dr. Jenness conceded.
It is perfectly natural that a
student should cheat If undue
temptation is placed in his path.
Such a condition is the fault of the
teacher. Under some conditions
cheating is not the fault of the
student and it is advisable for him
to pass the examination in this
way.
"The honor system works differ
ently with different individuals
and would probably work out with
the average student. The opinion
of the group is a strong deterrent
from cheating but the stigma of
failure is frequently more distaste
ful than the stigma of cheating
and the individual who has always
stood high in scholarship has an
added incentive because he wishes
to retain his scholastic leadership.
By this way many of the best stu
dents become cheaters during examinations."

to the committee at some future
date. The board has not as yet
made any renort or answer to the
request of the committee, Huber
said. .
"1 think that student representa
tion on the athletic board would
be a great thing for athletics here
at the university," Huber declared.
At the present time the students
feel that they are not being given
adequate consideration. They
want to take part in athletic mat
ters which concern them."
"If we did have student repre
sentation on the athletic board,"
Huber continued, "the board would
then get more accurately the stu
dent viewpoint and opinion, and
the students would be better satis
fled with the actions and decisions
of the board."
Make Strides.
"Student government and stu
dent activities at the university
have made tremendous strides.
They are functioning better than
I have ever known them to func
tion. We have student representa
tion and student consideration on
all matters which concern the stu
dent body with the exception of
athletics. There in a weakness
there which should bo remedied,"
Huber concluded.

tion on the athletic board of con
trol. The council furnid a renolu

regents that there be two students
on the athletic board of control to
be elected by the student council
from within its own membership.
The council, at that time, did not
pans the resolution, pending fur
ther Investigation of the matter.
Eventually the matter was
dropped, and nothing more was
done about it.
"We feel that the students
chiefly are concerned with mat
ters of athletics in the university.
The students take part In athletics,
and they are supposed to be for
the benefit of the students," Ed
win Faulkner, president of the
council, said yesterday.
He added that other represen

THE DAILY ISEBRASKAN
I EPISODES
By Oliver DeWolf I
Snow, snow, snow, and still more
snow!
The retirement of Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes, although not un
expected, is nevertheless a severe
blow to the nation. Mr. Holmes is
ninety-one years old, and has
served the American people from
the bench of the highest court of
the land for thirty years. Now,
to use his own words he must bow
to the Inevitable. His loss will be
hard to replace.
Already there is much specula
tion aa to whom will be appointed
aa his successor. Mr. Holmes was
a libera, and it is hoped by many
that President Hoover will fill the
vacancy with another liberal in
stead of a conservative. Among
those who have been mentioned to
succeed Mr. Holmes are; Attorney
General Mitchell, Newton D.
Baker, Chief Justice Benjamin N.
Cardozo ot New York state court
of apepals, Federad Judge William
S. Kenyon of Iowa and Dean Ros
coe Pound of the Harvard law
school. May the best man win.
Speaking of appointments,
President Hoover has a good many
to make. Besides the successor to
Mr. Holmes, the president must
also consider who will be best
suited to fill "Hell'n Maria" Dawes'
shoes as ambassador to England.
He must also find an excellent
roan to replace Mr. Forbes at
Toklo. Four good men who are
public-minded are needed for Mr.
Hoover's latest credit commission,
and one has not time to enumerate
the numerous minor positions that
must be filled. The president and
the senate will undoubtedly have
many a merry battle in the future
over these appointments, but re
gardless of who Is appointed it is
obvious that a certain Representa
tive McFadden, republican of
Pennsylvania, will have no voice
in the matter.
According to the United Press,
a married man having one depen
dent and a $5,000 a year income,
will pay three tiroes as much in
taxes under the new Mellon plan,
as he Is paying now. College stu
dents have nothing to worry about
so far. However, the proposed tax
plan embodies a tax on tobacco,
cars, telegrams, telephone calls, a
three cent stamp for all first class
mail, and many other interesting
features. The college student is be
comir.r more involved all the time.
It is . 1 to remember, however,
that taxation bll originate In the
house of representatives, and inas
much as the democrats control
this body, it may be assumed and
expected that Mr. Mellon's little
plan will undergo a serious opera
tion, and in all probability it won't
be recognized as Mr. Mellon's or
iginal bill when it leaves the
house. '
Mr. Mills speaks for Mr. Mellon
in the house of representatives. His
lawyers speak for him during the
impeachment proceedings. Mr.
Mellon, as usual, says nothing.
The international situation is be
coming Increasing serious as the
days go by. Germany has an
nounced that she is unable to meet
her reparation payments. London
newspapers are advocating the
cancellation of the reparations and
the war debts. France is girding
herself for another fight at the
Lausanne conference where the
question of reparations will be dis
cussed. France is unequivocally op
posed to any cancelation of the
German debts, and in all probabil
ity she is supported in this by her
allies; Poland, Czechoslovakia, and
Yugo-Slavia. Newton D. Baker,
believes that war is much nearer
today than it was in 1914. The
United States has its hands full at
home, but the root of its trouble
lies in the war debts and repara
tions not to speak of the protec
tive tariffs that the Smoot-Hawley
bill forced other nations to inaug
gurate. Smart people these Japanese.
When all the other nations are
busy with internal ills, the Jap
anese decide that it is the proper
time to swipe Manchuria from her
Chinese neighbors. So far they
have been getting away with it.
This is not the first time that Ja
pan has chosen the psychological
movement to strengthen her im
perialistic program. During the
World war she stepped In and
took the Shantung PUenlsula at
the expense of Germany. Later she
had to give It' back, but that
wasn't her 'ault. Again I say,
smart people these Japanese.
here had no voice in matters of
athletic policy and action concern
ing the university. "Other schools
find that student participation In
the direction of athletic policy
works out very well," he said.
"We plan to work out some plan
which will give the greatest
amount of student voice in matters
of athletic direction and still make
it compatible with the most effi
cient manner of directing athletic
matters," Faulkner concluded.
An investigation of the possibil
ity tf securing student representa
tion on the athletic board of con
trol will be made by the athletic
relations committee of the council,
of which Art Wolf is chairman. A
report will be made at a future
meeting.

Prosperity Born in
Barns as Winter
By GEORGE ROUND.
Prosperity is not just around the
corner out on the college of agri
culture campus. Instead it arrived
the other day. Economists have
been predicting the return of pros
perity for many months and their
prediction has been fulfilled.
Everybody Is happy now. Old man
Depression has left.
But this prosperity Is different
than many millions of people have
been looking forward to for over
a year. Instead it comes in the
form of a newborn pure bred
Southdown lamb, born at the col
lege this week amid a real bliz
zard. Prof. H. J. Gramlich, head of the
animal husbandry department, re
ceives the credit for naming the
new lamb "Prosperity." At first
be didn't know what to call the
young animal. Then he thought of
"Optimism" but that didn't seem
right. Then he hit upon the idea of
"Prosperity." Incidentally that
term in this case refers to a lamb
of the male order for he is a ram.

were almost unable to concentrate
upon their job. Scene shifters
missed cues, the stage manager
uttered a well chosen curses. The
electrician forgot to put the foot
lights on, the stage manager
quoth a few select oaths. And the
play went on.
During the overturn the shrink
ing newspaper people, high above
the stage, were entertained by a
harmonica solo by the electrician.
He did quite well but did not play
the same piece that the orchestra
did. Later in the evening the elec
trician stated that there were fifty
light changes and some sixteen
scene changes. One of the scenes
in a cabaret la a modernistic de
sign but with a change of lights
becomes a cottage window.
There are only two curtains
during the whole show the rest of
the scenes being changed by
blackouts, which in stage parlance
mean the slow dying out of the
lights to complete darkness.
This Is one of the secrets. Herb
Yenne is not the Paderewski he
seems to be somebody behind the
scenes plays that swell music.
Herb, when his turn comes to
play, goes over to the piano, the
keyboard or wnicn is niaaen irom
couple of chords. Then the unseen
the audience, and bangs out a
pianist, a lady, picks up the
chords and beats out a melody.
Not many people In the audience
know this.
Herb does dance, tho, despite
the fact that he Is harrassed con
stantly during the play by danc
ing teachers who want him to be
come a good dancer. You really
should see him at a party.
During the pantomime when
Flavia Waters Champe was ex
ecuting her dance Bod Reade was
busily putting up more scenery.
Erecting a lamp post required
nailing and so Bob solved the dif
ficulty by pounding the hammer in
time to the music out front. At
about the same time Zolley Lerner
and some others were busily, if
not gracefully, engaged In another
dance behind the scene. It ap
peared to the reporters to be a
very free interpretation of Fan
nie Brice's Interpretation of Pav
lowa's interpretation of the dance
of the dying swan. From the point
of vantage the press got the pe
culiar advantage of seeing both
dances at once.
Noise Behind Scenes.
And noise3 behind the scenes?
While Herb is playing to his old
sweetheart in his dream she ap
pears and a very sentimental
scene is In progress. In about the
middle of it a typewriter crashes
to the floor. Very embarraslng
thought the reporters. But no, say
the omnipotent, all the sounds

may think It is too cold for new
born lambs to live but nay not in
the case of those born at the col
lege of agriculture. They receive
care comparable to that given a
newborn babe. All the luxuries are
at the feet of the young animal.
When he is first born, he is taken
to a warm place to protect him
from the cold weather.
Imagine a coed standing out In
a driving snowstorm waiting for
her boy friend to meet nor when
the temperature ranges around 21
degrees below zero. It just isn't
done. No girl would think of it.
But regardless lambs seem to be
able to stand the cold quite well.
In fact two jvars ago today six
teen lambs were born on the cam
pus when the thermometer ranged
about that degree of coldness. The
amazing thing about it is that not
a lamb was lost.
No doubt "Prosperity" will re
ceive the best of cara. Ho is to be
shown next fall as a fat tether at
livestock shows. With his coming
into the world it may be possible
that prosperity Is just around the
corner. But what a corner!

a good job of answering everyone

worth two of any one else's. He
seemed to get more kick out of
