SEMESTER'S END
FINDS NEBRASKA
HIGH IN BIG SIX
Huskers Appear Well on Way
To Top Position in
Conference.
MORE MEETS TO FOLLOW

BY MURLIN SPENCER.
Dally Nebratkan Sport Kdltor.
As the first semester of the pres
ent school year comes to a close,
Nebraska is found in its usual
high position athletically among
the other schools in the Big Six
conference. With other sports yet
to follow, the Huskers are well on
their way to the top position in
conference athletics.
Summarzing the first half of
the year, Nebraska started the
season with their third Big Six
football championship in the four
years of conference history. In
cleaning up the title, the Huskers
emerged as the one undefeated
team with only ten points scored
against it. With the other schools
providing the stiffest competition
ever shown as a whole, the win
ning of the crown was even more
to be coveted.
Results Recorded.
Outside the conference, Ne
braska's football record stood
high, winning three and losing
two intersectional tilts. Victories
over the University of South Da
kota. University of Iowa and Col
orado Aggies were the intersec
tional bright lights. In the sec
ond game of the season, the yet
new Husker football squad pro
vided Northwestern with one of
the many tough games on her
schedule, losing by 12 points. The
Thanksgiving day game with
Pittsburgh resulted in one of the
worst defeats in Cornhusker his
tory, but the sting of this defeat
was partly erased by the come
back of the Huskers in their vic
tory over Colorado Aggies in a
game for Nebraska and Colorado
Two members of the. champion
Nebraska team piayea wun me
West in the annual East-West
game on the coast New Years day.
Justice and Koster, both guards,
gave a good showing for the West,
coached by Dana X. Bible, Ne
braska mentor.
Renews Contract.
Another feature of the season
was the renewal of the contract of
Dana X. Bible. A five year con
tract was given Bible with an op
tion on the following five years.
With a number of sophomores on
this year's squad the chances for
the retention of the football cham
pionship are exceptionally bright.
Attendance at the games this
season established a new high
mark. The reduction of price at
most of the games together with
general admission tickets and ex
tension of the Knot Hole group
were partly responsible for the
good attendance.
In the two mile races this year.
Nebraska finished low in the con
ference but the teams coached by
Henry F. Schulte gave a good ac
count of themselves in every con
test. As the basketball season opened,
Coach Charley Black found him
self with only one veteran, George
Koster, after tne unusuaiiy mgu
number of injuries had taken their
toll. In spite of this, the team has
been coming along fast, the Inex
perienced men winning one confer
ence tilt while losing three. With
the conference race less than half
over, the Huskers are expected to
develop into one of the best teams
in the loop before the curtain rings
down on the court game.
Pool Completed.
The completion of the new
swimming pool was a forward
step at the university in view of
the long felt need. Nebraska was
awarded the conference swimming
meet to be held in March. The pool
is one of the best in the Big Six
and was built out of student funds.
Wrestling, track, swimming,
boxing, tennis and baseball remain
in the program of the university.
Good material and good coaches in
these sports guarantee Nebraska
a high ranking before the year is
over.

Well, it's all over. With this is
sue of The Nebraskan my term as
sports editor expires. Whether it
has been a successful one is not
for me to say, but I sincerely hopa
that in some way I have kept faith
with those who appointed me and
with the subscribers of the paper,
It has been my purpose to give
all the athletic events the space
which I thought they deserved. If
some sports have received too lit
tle publicity I am sorry. If I have
caused any hard feeling in my
column or articles I am sorry,
With a few variations I have realt
mostly with athletic events in my
column, leaving the other campus
activities to others. As a result it
has not been a humorous section
as has been the custom in the past.
I have not 1 oined in chorus
against football and the coaches
for the reason that I felt the ac
cusations were unfair. Parts of
them were true and part false, but
generally those who made the
statements also demanded that
everything they said be taken as
the truth. There was no possibility
for compromise in any way. As a
result, my stand has been and will
continue to be that football is a
great game, altho I will admit that
there are soma changes which
must come. These will undoubtedly
be made in plenty of time. Right
now, there is no cause for alarm
over the athletic situation here or
any other school.
After a semester of close contact
with athletics at the University of
Nebraska I sincerely believe that
they are in good hands. I do be
lieve, however, that the public and
student body as a whole is entitled
to know more concerning the ath
letic department. The salary of the
coaches, amount of money taken
in and on hand, together with
other publicity concerning the de
partment are matters of public in
terest. At the present time the
public is left in the dark on these
matters. Some changes should be
made.
The same efficiency is expected
of the sports department of The
Nebraskan as is expected of the
same departments of the city pa
pers. In some instances the ex
pectation is not fullfilled. There
are several reasons for any laxity
which may occur. In the first
place. The Nebraskan is not fi
nancially able to send reporters to
every football or basketball game.
The expense of acquiring a leased
wire of some news organization is
prohibitive for a student paper. As
a result, all the news of the con
ference teams cannot be printed
immediately after it has happaned.
This department depends en
tirely upon those reporters who
volunteer their services. After
football season comes to a close,
this interest naturally dies away.
This makes it difficult to assure
the readers that every story will
be covered thoroly by a reporter
at the game.
All in all, this position on the
Nebraskan has been a pleasant
one. A number of mistakes have
been made which is only to be ex
pected of a student reporter. The
experience has been worth a great
deal. The readers have been ex
ceptionally kind in refraining from
pointing out these mistakes.
The Cornhuskers in the last
week have met with three re
versals. This is, I think, only to be
expected when the number of new
men are taken into consideration.
The students and others can af
ford to be exceptionally tolerant of
this 1932 basketball squad. They
have put up a good fight in every
game and have given their follow
ers no reason to be other than
proud of them. They will cause
more than one team lots cf
trouble before this season is over.
The Growler
BY HARRY FOSTER.
To cheat or not to cheat, that is
the question. Is it best to get a
good grade out of a course at the
expense of honesty? Somp of the
questions that professors give are
unfair. Does this Justify foul
methods ?
Some professors indirectly en
courage cheating. To use a crib
sheet is to pull something over on
one of the "hawkers." In my own
case I have found that my con
science won't permit me to cheat
if I have a lot of respect for the
teacher. If an Instructor leaves the
room during the examination,
thereby putting a childlike faith in
his students, I think tnat I'd find
the qualms eating away at that
"quiet little voice" if I'd take ad
vantage of the situation.
If a student in desperation asks
In a frantic voice "What's the an
swer to number 5?" What should
an honest student do? To answer
Involves a personal risk. To remain
aloof Involves no risk other than
the chance of losing the question
er's friendship.
Students who are honest in
every other way often cheat. The
majority of cheaters would be
shocked at the idea of theft. It
narrows down to the idea of get
ting something for nothing. Most
of us will get all that we can
gratis.
The question of cheating is in
one sense an individual matter. As
is the case in many other things
the crime is in getting caught, not
in the commission of the act. If
you are willing to take your
chance and to undergo all. of ihe
risks Involved, cheating may be
Justified.
After all, the grades that are in
scribed after your name in the
credit book mean little. You get
out of a course what you put into
it. In the long run the grade re
ceived in a course Isn't worth the
trouble that some students go to

Ohio Psychology Students Employ
Movie as Aid
(Ohio State Lantern. )
To study the psychology of hu
mans and animals under natural
conditions, classes in psychology at
the university are making extens
ive use of motion pictures.
The electrons of the physicist,
the compounds of the chemist and
the steel of the engineer behave in
the same fashion, Dr. Willard Val
entine of the psychology faculty
points out, whether before a class
or in the quiet of his laboratory.
But the psychologist's materials,
whether rats, guinea pigs, monk
eys, paes, children or adults, he
emphasizes, are different when put
on exhibition before a class.
"The child is either embarrassed
to the point of hiding his face,"
Dr. Valentine explains, "or so stim
ulated by the opportunity to show
off that neither is an example of a
normal child. The psychologist has
always been hampered in making
the same kind of demonstrations
before his classes that the natural
scientist makes as a matter of
course."
Pictures of children at play,
showing their reaction to pets and
to problems, he comments, can be
photographed without their knowl
edge so as to give a natural chap
ter from the life history of the
child. With laboratory animals, he
says, the results are even more
satisfactory.
"One movie used in the begin
ning classes, he adds by way of
example, "shows a monkey solving
in order to obtain. 1
Cheat if you want to. The only
one that you are Deneniuig or
cheating is yourself. If you're
caught, tough luck! If you pull
down a 90 with the aid of a crib
sheet, well you took your chances.
Of course you may be hurting
some of your fellow students but
they have the same odds that you
do, so cheat if you care to and
keep on cheating the rest of your
life. The cheater never tintis tne
heaven on earth that the "dumb
but honest" lotus flower does.
This is, in all probability, the
last "Growler" that will appear in
print. Much that has been pub
lished under my name brings sighs
of regret. I thought that I could
blazo a swath (if you can blaze
a swatn) acror,s tne campus, l
have been disappointed in the way
things have worked out. It's true
that I got an etching in the Aw-
gwan but then so did leading body
of the League of Women Voters.
Many members of the staff are
going to the happy hunting
ground. A few of us will change
our environ to the "Moon" and try
to find solace in the bitter dregs
of a Dr. Pepper. Alas, alack, woe
is me! It was fun while it lasted.
. . . life is like that . . . here's to
a bigger and better Daily Ne
braskan, one having less ads and
more news ... as a grand finale
I'd like to get off r good pun, but
I don't feel like being punny . . .

a problem without human aid,
which would tax the ingenuity of
the three year old child or an adult
idiot. Food is suspended far beyond
the monkey's reach even when he
is standing on a table directly
under the suspended food. But a
stick lying on the floor may be
used to dislodge the lure.
"Seeing the connection between
the stick and the Xood out of reach
and the use of the stick as a tool is
the solution of a problem which
cannot be solvpd by lower creat
ures. This type of attack is essen
tially human. When primitive man
used this and similar means to
combat environmental exigencies,
human supremacy was assured.
The thirty minutes required to
show this film are worth several
hours of reading or listening to a
lecture about the same thing."
The movies can also be used to
send the classroom Mahomet to
the educational mountain, Dr. Val
entine says. Where it used to be
fashionable to go to Europe to
study, he points out, through the
use of moving pictures the results
of European work can be brought
to beginning classes in America.
One film illustrates the work of
Dr. Charlotta Buhler of Vienna,
who is said to have the leading
children's clinic in Europe. Others
used here were made in New York
and at other American universi
ties. Most of them, however, were
filmed here, and are available to
other colleges and universities for
classroom purposes.

A professor at the University of
