No Honor
System Here.
.ftxnms coming up next Thursday arc be
silifiiri!? to worry a few of the would be stu
dents in this university, especially those who
Jiave neglected to study their lessons through
out the semester. The exam season usuully
brings a discussion of honor systems, indicat
ing tlint there arc a large number of students
who think that an honor system will eliminate
most of the cheating during examinations. How
they figure out that students on their own
linuor will cheat less than when the prof
watches over them, is more than an ordinary
juind can understand. There arc certain types
of schools where it may work, but at Nebraska,
where the average students sees nothing par
ticularly wrong in gathering a few facts off
hit neighbor's paper, or comparing answers
with the rest of the class, such a thing as an
hoVior system is not possible.
Regardless of what is said about grades not
icing nu accurate iiiuicuuun uj. n muuvui j in
telligence or knowledge, the average student
will seek to get as high a grade as he can. And
ns a grade in any course depends chiefly upon
examinations, the student who does not know
the answers to the questions of the exam is not
going to let his conscience bother him when he
looks on someone elscs paper for answers, or
on crib sheets or in his text book.
One can hardly blame the student for cheat
ing on certain questions that he cannot answer,
when he knows that if the instructor had
picked out some other questions which are
equally as difficult tnd just as typical of the
course, he could have answered them. Of
course, we do not favor cheating in the exams,
but it is easy to sec why such things do not
disturb the student's ethics or morals.
"Ye seriously doubt if many students have
felt themselves low in morals or lacking in
self pride and' honor just because of a little
help they received during exams either from
crib sheets or from some one's paper. As long
as students feel this way, an honor system is
not going to be successful; it will only serve
to make cheating easier.
There is hardly a question of honor involved
when it comes to cheating in exams. When a
student, unable to answer the questions, knows
very well that his neighbor, who is fortunate
enough to be able to supply answers, knows no
more or even less about the course than docs
this first student himself, he is not going to
worry a great deal about being guilty of cheat
in?. It is more of a cold business proposition,
which would have been unnecessary had the
prof asked something that the student could
answer.
Honor systems arc 1 lie bunk. Any student
should be able to do as well in an examination
with a professor in the room as when the pro
fessor is not in the room. Those who would
like to copy a little or look in the book are
not going to lose that desire when the prof
leaves the room. Honor is not concerned; it
is the grade that is at stake.
exact naturo of each offense will be known
Perhaps a lit t lo action might nervo to impress
tho rules nioro firmly in tho nundH that contro
the individual fraternities.
A recent test of football players with an
"emotion Indicator" showed that the griddcrs
prefer blondes to brunettes. They ought to
use a "lie detector" on tho "emotion iuuica
tor" to see if it was telling Iho truth.
Many professors change their lectures only
n very little from year to year, but they do not
change their jokes at all.
A college professor advises young men stu
dents to marry while the girl is still in school
and let her father carry the expenses until she
gets a degree.
The Council's
Scholarship Rules.
The violations of the Interfraternity council
initiation rules which were reported in The
Nebraskan a few days ago, are not so serious
as it might at first seem. It is quite likely
that most of them are merely failures to get
the names checked at the Dean of Student Af
fairs office. And it is also probable that a
good share of these initiations occurred before
the new rules were invoked. There are un
doubtedly some violators of the rules in the
list, however. It was only a year ago that the
Interfraternity council tightened up on its
scholarship and initiation rules which were
gradually getting more lax.
Fraternities should remember that all candi
dates for initiation should be checked to see if
they are eligible. Eligibility consists of schol
arship requirements as specified in the coun
cil's rules. These requirements were set down
only for the purpose of raising the scholastic
average of the fraternities. Everybody thought
it was a good idea at the time although there
was some difference of opinion as to whether
the required average of the candidate for ini
tiation should be 70 or 72.
Now we find that those very fraternities
who voted in favor of the rules are violating
them, or have forgotten about them. Perhaps
this can be accounted for by the fact that the
management of the fraternity changes hands
every one or two years, and those who are
now in charge do not think so seriously of the
rules that their predecessors have passed.
The Interfraternity council is investigating
the .violations referred to above bo that the
Student Writers
Discuss Many Topics.
Looking over some of the letters that come
into Ihis office including papers irotn an edi
torial class wc can get somewhat of nn idea
of what the students are thinking uliout.
One student comments on tho silly registrn
tion rules such as having to take a certain pro
twrtioii of one's hours in the afternoon. He
scoffs at the idea that tho university turns out
educated men and women, and he probably
knows what ho is scoff u:g about.
Another student wants a course in the uni
versity pertaining to the understanding and
appreciation of Nebraska's state capitol build-
in tr.
The u usee n a eves of tho majority ot men
about, the dim mis who fail to see lonely mo
torists helpless with wheels spinning on the
icv roads is the subject of one letter, lct tuc
strong backed men help push those cars out
which are. marooned against tho curb.
A dennrtment for student safety is desired,
according to ono writer, who claims that what
one learns in school isn't going to do him
much good if he breaks his neck sliding down
icy steps.
Fifty-fifty dating clubs will not succeed
says one campus male, claiming that women
have 1hc upper hand and won't let such n
thing get very for. "Civilization has made
fools of men and the woman is monarcn.
Someone wonders why tho Military depart-
1, 1 ' .... . . I F i stt.

chest ra while the Interfraternity council is de
nied that privilege.
A wise student has a plan to save the l'rainc
Schooner from oblivion. He would have all
the instructors in this school buy subscriptions
at a buck apiece.
Wc hear the complaint that a certain woman
has a novel writing disease. The public is al
ready nearly drowned in the flood of worth
less hooks, and this "diseased woman has a
desire to write some more, although she ad
mits she has nothing to write about.
That alumni should contribute more money
. 1 Ai 1
to their a ma mater is one incme. uuier
schools get large donations from their alumni,
but Nebraska gets few of them.
That men who were formerly unemployed
but arc now shoveling snow are underpaid,
seems to disturb one letter writer. This per
son claims that these snow shovelers should be
paid more than a dollar a day, and maintains
that 12 1-2 cents an hour is worse than noth
ing. A woman student does not approve of the
advisory system for registration, claiming that
too much time is wasted standing in line, and
looking for the advisor. Some advisors are ut
terly incompetent to do any advising, even if
they can be found.
Carving names on chairs and poetry on walls
is described as vandalism. Whittling on desks,
drains cogged with cigarct butts and matches,
paths worn across the lawns and all sorts of
articles dumped here and there by thoughtless
students is lectured upon in one lengthy dis
course. The three hour examinations cause consider
able comment. Other subjects discussed are
economics vs. religion, basketball team, the
heavy snowfall, students leaving college be
cause of financial reasons, cramming for ex
ams, accurately checking the credit hours of
students so as to line them up for graduation,
and bob sled parties.
We see by the papers that AVm. S. Sayres,
Jr., master in chancery, isn't just sure what a

A news item states that journalism students
at the University of Texas are carrying Bibles
to class. That's not a bad idea: they ought to
read them a little.

More on Courtesy.
TO THE EDITOR:
While on the subject of courtesy and man
ners, it would be very appropriate to remind
the coeds attending the University of Ne
braska that there are certain rules of etiquette
which apply to woman as well as to men. The
women seem to think that they are being
slighted in regard to manners. When women
attend an institution of higher learning they
voluntarily place themselves on an equal basis
with men. They are entitled to no more privi
leges than men. The men, however, give them
the edge and do not require them to meet on
an equal basis, and still the women are not
satisfied. They expect the men to make way
for them and to put themselves out to hold a
door open for them even at the expense of
missing the class for which he is headed. Any
man who will not do so receives black looks
and uncomplimentary remarks.
In regard to etiquette the girls are assuming
a lot when they state that the men are impolite.
How many girls know that it is the Avoman's
place to speak first? How many of them if
they do know this, heed the practice? They
refuse to speak first to the gentlemen acquain
tances, and then feel terribly put out when the
man refuses to speak. Contrary to all rules of
etiquette.
As far as the cost of dating women is con
cerned the article of a day or two ago stressed
the point very well. However, I wish to again
remind the women that they are very incon
siderate and unfair. They judge a man by the
amount of money he spends, even though they
know that the man hasn't the money to spend
in this way. The average university girl ex
pects too much, it's time they woke up to the
fact that they are no better than anyone else,
and above all things to learn the fundamen
tal rules of etiquette before they criticize the
men. As a starter, girls should learn that it is
the woman's place to speak first. Clean up
your own yard before you criticize your
neighbors.

House and senate have passed

One hears words against state
divorce laws. Long was state con
trol of child labor contested. Ques
tions arise over the advisability of
state or national regulation of the
other fields. Now the two party
antlprohibition bloc has decided to
support a suggested change in the
Eighteenth amendment returning
liquor control to the states.
Now I wonder if that is what
they really want. Perhaps that is
the only way they can get what
they want.

how is it to be done in the face ot

America?
Dailv Sketch: "Another truth
that needs to be stated is that if
we receive nothing from Europe
we shall pay nothing to the United
States."
Well, there . vou are. England
now does not get enough from
Germany in reparations to pay her
own debts to the United States. On
the other hand France, Italy, Bel
gium get more than enough in rep-
rations to pay tneir aeDis.
Said the Mancnester uuaraian:
Whatever happens, the principles
of a drastic scaling down of rep
arations and their definite settle
ment this year must be estab
lished." Then from Downing street came
this single statement, "Newspaper
articles are not government dec
larations." Temporary fillings will have to
do until the gold crisis is past. This
is the problem Austrian dentists
are up against. The right to buy
and sell gold is taken from the
firms which regularly supply dent
ist material. The National Bank of
Austria has the sole right to sell
gold.

STUDENT LOANS SEEN
AS GOOD INVESTMENT
(Continued from Pago 1.)
Martha Walton estate is left to the
university to bo used for loan pur-
nnara Mr flundcrson said. It is
estimated that between $1,300 and
$1,700 will bo needed to pay on
riohls. lpnvlnir BDDroximatelv $28,-
OO0 to be placed in the fund. If
however in anotner year, wnen ino
estate is scuiea, siocks two num
far below par value, the committee
will feel obliged to allow the
stocks to remain idle. Aside from
tho Walton estate, little other in
the way of additions to tho fund
next year, except from the small
amounts that will bo paid back,
appear in the offing.
A total of 401 loans are out at
the present time, 45 loans being
granted this school year. At the
recent meeting or tne loan cum
mittri. which is composed of Mr.
Gundcrson, Prof. Clark E. Mickey,

of the history department, and
chairman of the group, twenty-five
applications were consiaereu. uj.
this number, fourteen were
granted loans, while some are still
being considered.

THE COMMITTEE.
quired that tho student mu.st have
been in attendance at the univer
sity for one year before he can
receive aid. Ono fund however,
designates that the committee can
select an outstanding freshmen
and if it chooses, continuo to loan
him money thruout his entire col
lego course, Tho loan committee,
however, attempts to take caro of
seniors first.
In explaining the present status
of the loan fund, Mr. Gundcrson
declared that i was most satis
factory to loan to students. Strict
banking procedure is carried out
in securing prompt payment of in
terest and principle. The finance
secretary looks upon student loans
as a profitable investment for
anyone and believes that in the
future more individuals will be
willing to place money at tho dis
posal of the committee. To prove
how the funds are allowed to grow,
it was shown that the S3.r00 do
nated in 1911 had increased to
over $9,000 at tho present time.
In order to insure loan funds to
the fullest extent, loan funds are
kept separate from university
funds and all expenses that might
accrue to this fund are charged
to the university. All recommend
ations for changing the procedure
as regards granting loans are
made to the chancellor and ap
proved by the boaiti of regents.

A sudden cold snap might seriously inter
fere with long distance telephone service were
it not for the studies made by Bell System
engineers. - : .
They found that temperature variations
within 24 hours may make a ten-thousandfold
difference in the amount of electrical energy
transmitted over a New York -Chicago cable
circuit! On such long circuits initial energy
is normally maintained by repeaters or ampli
fiers, installed at regular intervals. So the
engineers devised a regulator operated by
weather conditions which automatically con
trols these repeaters, keeping current always
at exactly the right strength for proper voice
transmission.
This example is typical of the interesting
problems that go to make up telephone work.
