Sporta Editor Evelyn Simpson Associate Editor Ruth Schlll Woman's Editor Katharine Howard Society Editor Two Parades. The following editorial, written by Klmnnt Waitc, editor of The Daily Nebraskan during the second .semester of last year, attracted hi much notice and comment, and is so timely nt the present time, that it is being reprinted here. With tho noise of martial music, the parade begins. Over the barren drill field marches platoon after platoon company after com pany, in the annual K. O. T. ('. rompet. Sparkling sun gleams on shining sabers and ennre Rrilliiint uniform of honorary colonel matches the undertones of brown leather and J olive cloth of the officers. .Symbolical of all that touches the passion in man of all that overrides his reason, the countless sjuads of schoolboy soldiers fO inarching on, in noth'ng more harmful than a yearly compet. With the noise of tln band, too, another parade begins. Jilackrobed graduates wind their -way to the coliseum, row on row, to the annual commencement exercises. Sparkling si i ii again, but in this parade it touches noth ing more shining than the dull black of reason. Hoth arc memorable events in the lives of Nebraska collegians and loth are as diamet rically onnosed as the poles of the earth. Two irreconcilable elements exist in nisn, j passion and reason. For xinniiinbered een-) Juries Ihis eoufliet has continued. In Ihe be ginning, passion alone held sway. Then there, was but one parade the call to arms! Jieason ! had little chance to make its appearance, and was subordinated and dominated by 1bej stronger force of passion and emotion. If a man take your possession, strike him down! If you can" seize his property and belongings, take ihem ! 1 1,., luallv tiiiu-fvi-r. reason lias evolved. True, it has not yet reached its goal: the ov-j erning of human conduct, and the subordina tion of passions to its ends. Kven in the uni versities of Ihe land, where reason can be ex-1 pected to hold forth over unmindful, uui'ea-j finable passion, there remains the conflict. ! For the parade on the drill grounds is the; svinhol of passion of ugly hatred stirring be-i t'ween peoples. The soldiers themselves, be-j wildered by the glamor and tinsel of the mock j warfare of the university campus, are nothing; more than food for cannon, to satisfy lliej blood lust of an unreasonable world. It is dif-1 I'icult to picture lliese men now on parade! dropping right and left it is hard to visualize! uhnle companies wiped out. by the burst insr of a shell yet it is for tlint purpose that they' are now 'being trained. And fulfill that pur-j pose they will, though it mean the sacrifice of: ;ill that 'hey hob! precious. , Perhaps a few -would refuse, and perhaps, i,u, ilwv would deserve the urealer honor.' go in this week end. And that is the end. There are a few other minor items, such as $2.50 for a cap and giwn, and $10 for a degree, but the work is finished. Some professors have been kind enough to let seniors out of exams. Others have signi fied that seniors will take the exams. At any rate there will be much cramming and much library work during the next two weeks. Crib sheets will be prepared, heads will be crammed full of knowledge to be promptly forgotten when the examination is finished. With the coming of exams always comes the problem of cribbers. Much has been said about the honor system of taking examinations, but when such a high premium is placed on grades rather than real knowledge, students will not hesitate to copy or crib if they find an oppor tunity. Cribbing will never be completely eradicated until the grading system is abol ished. We have, however, the system and it is best to abide by its rulings. Cribbing and copying are among the most lowly of the arts, they are le grading to no small degree. Cheaters have been scored time and again by educators and college newspapers. And they still crib. Collegians should have enough self-respect, and enough personal esleem not to allow themselves to stoop to cheating in examina tions. It is entirely possible In pass an exam ination without cribbing, in fact, it has been done several times. Students should realize that acquiring an education h, a matter of work and not of gelling a certain number of credit hours, and a series of resonably Ingli grades. The grades, niter all, do not. fount, it is what sticks in the mind lhat really is 1 be education. Those facts which are put on papers ami which are sometimes riirht and sometimes wrong do not aid one in getting nn education. It may help in getting a grade, but after all the one who is losing is the student. There has been a great deal of 1 alk about the honor system, and this it seems is the best way of getting around a difficult problem. Professors and instructors should realize that students who crib and copy are not cheating the pro fessors, but Ihemselvs. The sooner students come to realize t his. the sooner cribbing and copying will be lost arts. THE DAILY NEBRASKAN TJniversitu of Iowa Correspondent Describes Dormitory System Used Thire in First Article of Series women with advantages vo Be gained from residence In auch a bui'dlng.) THURSDAY, MAY 19. m2 In a statement specially prepared for the Daily Nebraskan relative to Ihe effectiveness of dormitory life and the enthusi asm with which it is received by women on the University of Iowa campus. Dean of Women Adelaide L. tturge heartily en dorsed the ptosent housing system effected by Currier and Kastlawn residence buildings there which together accommo date 384 women. But the'inajority would go without a second use reason hn its own thought, because lias not vet come into l.'.in ..nt nru.u more, nerhaits. these two na nnies will continue side by side upon our uni versity grounds the one, black and somber. Ihe symbol of reason; the other flashing and glamorous, the symbol of hasty, unthinking passion. The commencement parade goes forward to do Ihe thinking of the world. The men and women comprising its ranks have feelings, but their feelings are not masters. Insofar as they are true to the costume 'hey wear, their pas sions and their instinctive urge to irrational battle are subordinated to their reason. And reason governs their conduct with temperance and wisdom. Between these two. the military review that glitters upon the drill field, and the proces hioii of sober, black robed figures, humanily must choose. And to live, it must choose rightly. There are many methods of assisting when "that choice is to be made. Today 1he issue is still a dubious one; today much can be done to eliminate tho tinsel ami to replace it with ihe solid metal of rational human thought. If humanity is to live, the K. O. T. C. must I die. Already it has vanished from the campuses of twenty-five or the leading educa tional centers of the country. True enough, it lingers on at Nebraska and at many other uni. versities, but so long as it does linger it invites disaster. For after all, there is nothing that incites an angry man to violence with such effectiveness as the means to do that violence, and the knowledge of the power of the physical weapon. Regard the R. O. T. C. the standing army, th navy, aa toys if you like. They arc not. They are vocational training fields, useful only in preparing future food for the guns of the battleground. Strip them of the gaudy, peace time decora tions remove honorary colonel,, ihe military balls, the coed sponsors. Cive the recruits, eager for the romance of battle, a taste of cooties and trench rations. Let them see the real reason they are being sought to swill the ranks to kill men, and in turn be killed. When that is done, they will no longer swell those ranks. Reason will have won its battle. Qui Quip. Today is the final day for senior 'a work. Today is the last .lay they have for getting in back paper, making up exams, and finishing up the course work. For the reports on seniors iriv Are Artititie? Many members of this year's sophomore j class will go home this summer, review their; accomplishments in activities during the past year, and then begin to figure furiously in auj attempt to plan laurels which tiny may acquire before next Ivy day. In many cases they are planning In use activities as means to an end rather than as mi end in themselves, '""Ii a spirit as this too often nullifies the individual benefits which activities may confer. Act'nilies. essentially, are a means of broad ening one's own abilities, particularly the ability to work co-operatively. Participation in activities means much more than just "get tiinr into things." If wisely chosen and faith fully pursued activities have much to offer. It is" a mistake for a student to dabble in many different things, not for their own sake but for Ihe value such a course may have in reach ing a certain goal namely Innocents or Mor tar Hoards. If a student enters a few activi ties those in which he is really interested be cause i hey appeal and then works earnestly to g.'t as far as he ran in those, few, other things v ill usually take care of themselves. And even failing the other goal one can have the ..clf-satisfaction of a job well done. Too often the iitl'itiidi . "activities for aetiv-; ities sake" causes students who don't partiei-j pale to discount their value. .Act I vil les are maintained, not so a particular class known as "activity iih ii" may have something to do, but in order that all students may find an ext ra-cuiTjeulur interest to conilnne with llieir classroom activities. F.ach aelivity is an end in itself, not a means lo an end, and everyone, "activities men" included, may benefit if they act in accordance with such a lend. Her statement follows: "Since Currier hall, dormitory for univer sity women, was built in 1912 it has proven to be a very desirable asset to university life, The build ing and its rquipmetit provides very comfortable living quarters, and the social life under the super vision of the preceptress and her assistants gives Opportunity for social contacts In a democratic group of young women of all types. The administration would certainly find it difficult to prop erly supervise university young women, especially during me freshman year, without .he facili ties offered by Currier ball. Many young women have given sincere expression of appreciation for the experience gained In living there, counting it as one of the rare pmilegcs of college days." Houses 300 Women, Currier hall, of which Dean Burge speaks, is a fireproof build ing of brirk and limestone having single, double and suite accomoda tions. The building houses 300 women, and the objection that some University of Nebraska women had to living with so large a group as 170 is apparently un fell at Iowa City. Kastlawn ac commodates eighty-four women in double rooms. Each hall contains drawing rooms, library, kitchenettes for student use, and dining halls. Rooms are equipped with tele phone, electric lights, and hot and cold running water. Kitchenettes placed conveniently on the differ ent floors contain gas plates, sinks, cupboards, ironing boards, and irons. Girls early form the habit of running in at any time to press frocks or to make a cup of tea for an evening spread. Rooms are nil furnished with simple nigs, window shades, single beds with mattress, pad, pillow, and a pair of blankets, dresser, study table, and chairs. Residents provide their own bed furnishings or rent them from the halls, and bring such additional furnishings as dresser scarfs, addi tional lamps, window draperies, and whatever ornaments may please individual tastes. Social Life Cared For. Social hours play an important part in the lives of dormitory resi dents. Programs are presented at Currier each Sunday afternoon, and bridge is the after-dinner oc cupation at Fastlawn on Sundays. In addition, there is a social hour after dinner every night, when the girls may dance to music provided by radio and Victrola. Guests, according: to communica tion with a Daily Iowan reporter, are always welcome at either hall. Informal dinner parties are given thruout the year, and girla are hostesses at two dances annually. Holidays are always the occasion for special dinners and guests. Birthdays are celebrated once a month, at which time all girls whose birthdays were in the previ ous month are guests of honor at a special dinner. Two chaperons of ficiate at each hall. These women have special quarters of their own. Both buildings have quiet hours from 7:30 p. m. to 11 a. m. and from 1 p. m. to 4 :30 p. ra. Proctors, selected from the students, take attendance at 10 p. m. each night, report absences, and see that quiet is maintained. Week end night social privileges are extended to 12:30, if a girl is going to a dance or party. If not going out, she Is expected to be In by 11 o'clock. On nights of formal parties, the hour is extended to 1:30 a. m. Music Permitted. Any resident of either building may have a Victrola in her room, provided she does not play it dur ing quiet hours. Those desiring radios, however, must petition the Student council for permission to install them. Student control is in force at both halls. Two representatives from the freshman class, and one from each other class, including graduate students, constitute the council. New members are chosen each semester. Discipline Is in the hands of the council, a-s well as ar ranging parties and providing for special occasions. All meals must be taken at the halls by residents, except those who are working for their board. Girls sit at small tables, rotating each six weeks, so they may have a wider chance for acquaintances. Dormitory life at the University of Iowa proves agreeable not only to women but to men as well, the correspondent reports. The Quad rangle, better known as the "Quad," is a university maintained residence for men with accommo dations for 700. The rooms, sin gle, double, or en suite, are com pletely furnished. A student coun cil governs the dormitory, and to this group, councilmen are elected each year by residents themselves, who in turn co-operate with eight proctors appointed by the dean of men. COLONIAL MOTIP TO BE USED FOR NEW DORMITORY (Continued from page 1.) knotty pine panelled social room and private room accommodations for eighteen girls. These accom modations will be eliminated and the space utilized for added dining rooms when additional units are built on the structure. Seventy-six women will have rooms on each of the two upper floors. Additional features on the main floor include a men's coat room, telephone booth, and a small kit chenette for student's use. Second and third floors are also to be equipped with kitchenettes as weU as small parlors in which students may receive guests. In the base ment is being constructed a large party and assembly room at one end of which will be constructed a stage where theatricals may be presented. A serving room with dumb waiter connections to the kitchen, women's and men's lounge rooms, a recreation room where ping pong tables may be erected, storage rooms for trunks, laundry accommodations for service and students in addition to a special shampoo room for residents of the house arc all to be added features of the basement. Light fixtures, draperies, and all accessory furnishings will follow the early American and Georgian colonial motif in harmony with the general iveling tone of the struc ture.

Reports received at the Agricultural college Wednesday In dicated that the flies are taking many wheat fields in eastern Ne braska and as a result many will have lo be plowed up and put into corn. The Hessian fly is doing more damage than was expected. Reuben Hecht seemed to be a popular choice for manager of the 1!33 Farmers Fair, according to election returns. Since Farm House fraternity did not put up a candi date for the office, Ralph Copen baver, a barb, was practically the lone opposition.

C Last week a motion was passed by the student activities committee of the University of North Carolina in which the committee favored a pledge being signed by every stu dent entering the university in the fall quarter which states that he will not lie. steal, or cheat; and that he will report to the student council any student whom he finds committing any of the above of fenses. This motion was passed to encourage students to uphold the honor system, which has declined In effect during the past year No student will be allowed to register in the university unless he signs this pledge.
