lh Information.)
Iowa State college at Ames presents an example of
how political activities can become an active part of
campus life. Open parties usually number two or three.
Most of them lasting only a year, but some continue as
long as three or four years. They are usually composed
of about a dozen students who attempt to convince the
etudent body that their candidate is the best.
Besides the regular candidates, Iowa State often has
a write-in candidate or slate of candidates, supposedly
entered at the last minute by popular demand. Actually,
these candidates are backed by groups much like the
regular parties. Their campaigns are hardly s)ontaneous
and often show better, more carefully worked out planning
than those of the organized parties.
Iowa State has full-scale campaigns with posters,
loud speakers, political rallies, bands and torchlight pa
rades. The student governing body, which conducts elec
tions, places a limit of $50 on campaign expenditures for
any one candidate. Nominations are by petition, each
bearing the signatures of at least 25 students.
For example, if the nominee is running for a
position on some board of the Iowa State science division,
petition signatures must be those of science students.
A nomination fee of 25 cents is required. Candidate
eligibility is certified by the registrar, and petition blanks
are issued from that office. Petitions are turned in to
the election governing committee, and the nominees are
then placed on the ballot.
Campaign issues are many and varied. They in
clude almost any problem or issue that is in the news
at the moment. Some of the favorites in the past three
years have been: improvement of housing for students,
improvement of athletic programs, the setting up of a
teacher grading system, revision of the activity point sys
tem and raise in wages for students working part-time for
the college.
There are no rules preventing the college newspaper
from backing candidates. The only requirement is that
it print the complete ballot before election. The Iowa
State Daily's policy has been to avoid taking sides in
editorials and to give each candidate, as nearly as is pos
sible, an even break in news stories. The letters to the
editor column is open to all candidates, with no restric
tions on what they say, as long as it is within the laws
of libel.
Since 1946, political parties have not been organized
around residence groups, that is, Greeks and independents.
But residence affiliations are still important in voting.
As a result, parties try to pick a slate of candidates that
will appeal to as many groups as possible. For instance,
if they put up an independent for president, they try to
get a Greek for vice-president, or visa-versa. This makes
for a healthy situation in student government, with all
groups getting representation no matter which party
carries the election. I
Iowa States' political program naturally contains a
number of points which might be difficult to incorporate ;
in the all-too-limited Nebraska set-up. It does offer, how-
ever, several points worth considering and shows campus j
politics can be an interesting and educational part of a
university's program.
'HoV Exams . . .
Blame for the exam racket falls on students and
faculty alike. It falls on students for their lack of decency
made apparent when they stoop to such a low-handed busi
ness an stealing exams. It falls on the instructors for plac
ing so much importance on their final examinations that
students will go to any lengths to get good grades on them.
But where does the solution lie? We can condemn those
who deal in "hot" exams, pointing out the unfairness and
baseness of their actions. We can "give them the boot."
But the tradition of stealing exams is pretty well embedded,
and traditions are hard things to erase.
So if the students can't seem to learn their lesson when
several of their classmates are suspended, the only alterna
tive solution seems to lie with the professors. When they
stop making such a fetish of their finals, the situation will
be greatly relieved. When they realize that it's just plain
silly to make 50 per cent of a grade depend on a test, exam
stealing will generally become a thing of the past.
This attitude of the importance of finals is widespread.
There aren't-just one or two professors who think an exam
should count a third or more on a semester average. But
if they'll look over their grade books they'll see that no
final makes any great difference on any student's course
average. The student who has made good grades on quizes
throughout the semester will do as well on the final. The
poor student will plod through the last test at the pace he
has kept throughout the course.
The actual value of finals in terms fo educational bene
fits is also questionable. If the student crams for the last
test in the course, he won't retain much of the materia
covered. If he doesn't need to resort to cramming, he prob
ably has the subject down pat and the final will be of little
. additional benefit.
We come to the conclusion that finals aren't what
they're cracked up to be. Of course, the ideal solution would
be the complete elimination of grading. Under such a set-up
there would be no incentive to stet.1 Hnals. Furthermore,
students who are arranging their schedules around so-called
4'pipe" courses wouldn't shrink from the "tougher" classes
because of a disasterous effect on their averages. But the
University is hardly ready for such a renovation.
Therefore, everything seems to point to the instructor
to solve the problem. A little change in attitude toward
finals shouldn't be difficult. The professor who gives one
test and only one will have to prepare himself for a little
nore work. But the faculty can hardly complain about the
oxam racket until it does its share to rid the campus of
it

questions from the viewpoint of the student and not from the view
point of a conscientious, pure and holy individual who has such
high morals.
Have you ever stopped to realize the pressure put on a student
at the University by final exams? Most finals count all the way
from 30 of the final grade to the final grade itself. I have had
exams that have constituted my whole final grade, and 1 guarantee
that it was no situation to be laughed at.
Is this fair to the student? I say not. Some students, good
ones, can loarn a great deal from
answering some of the technical
these students will have a general knowledge of the course for
some time to come. Then take the individual who can sit down
the night before an exam and cram his brain full of facts. Hisi
knowledge of the course is nil, but the next morning he flashes
through the exam with flying colors. In two weeks he has forgotten
everything he hasn't learned. '
Just how much .should final exams count then? I know of!

know of instructors at this University who have de-emphasized their
finals. These instructors have little trouble with their students!
cheating. The answer to the question should be of concern to all
students on this campus. I
1 am wondering if the author is really shocked to find that I
students on this campus do cheat. The editorial seemed to indicate
such, but rather doubt it. I doubt if anyone is blind to what
has boon happening on this campus for the past few years. So now;
the time has come to bring the subject out into the light.
This subject is of concern to all and not just the members of;
Greek organizations on the campus. The author called them'
"lodges," but this is not the correct term for it does not include
sororities, and I am sure the author would like to include every-j
body, whether they have been caught or not. j
Ben Creed
Bus Ad Research Agency
bees Prosperity Until '52
The University of Nebraska's
department of business research
does not look for a serious de
pression before 1!)52.
The department, an agency of
the College of Business Adminis- i
tration, said, however, that the '
1319 drop in agricultural prices
dues indicate that the first
i
postwar era has come to an end j
and that readjustments are in
order. '
i
"The drop in agricultural
prices," the department ob
served, "is a straw in the wind
an indication that the time of
sui plus is approaching. Trice de
clines may soon appear in other
raw materials. The throe-day
week has kept the surplus in
coal under control and has pre
vented coal prices from tumbling,
but weakness in the markets is
evident."
In discussing America's pos
war boom, the department said j
that anv boom may be based I
upon four factors:
1. A new industry, whose
rapid growth promotes expansion
ol (jtner industries as well.
2. A period of general busi
ness expansion and of new con
struction, 3. Filling up a reservoir ol
postponed demand alter a period
of depression or war.
4. Reconstruction after
ralumitv, such as waitinic de
struction. "The present postwar boom
seems to be resting heavily upon
items 3 and 4 the tilling of post
poned demand from the depres
sion and war periods, and recon
struction of war damage in Eu
rope and Japan. This type of
prosperity can last only so long
as a considerable demand re
mains unfilled," the department
declared.
It is highly improbable that
transition Irom subsidized pros
perity to a genuine period of ex
pansion will be smooth, the de
partment said.
It added: "The chances- are
that when our major task of re
plenishing the larders and rc
pauing the business premises is
done, we shall enter n serious
depression. It looks now as tho
this will not be before 1952. In-

Calls Meeting
Farmers Fair fever is in the
air! The first meeting of the sea
son is scheduled for Thursday
at 7 p.m. in the Ag Union. All
Ag students who are interested
in working on publicity for the
Fair are asked to attend the
meeting, according to Louise Mc
Dill and Jean Fenster, publicity
co-chairmen.
Chairmen for the twelve pub
licity committees will be chosen
from students attending the
meeting. There is a special call
this year for students who are
artistically talented to work on
the poster committee.
Other publicity committees are
rally, carbumper signs, talks at
organized houses, State FFA con
vention, radio, newspaper pub
licity, photographic, stationery
and letter writing, programs, and
poster distribution.
Plans are being made to start
work early this year to avoid a
last-minute rush. Any student
registered in the College of Agri
culture and interested in Farm

tend the meeting.

let's not play games. Why not
article in the Daily Ncbraskan
expressed by the editorial. Do
try and answer a few of these
a course and still have trouble
questions asked in an exam. But
cidentally, each 19th year since
1S19 has been a year of deep de
pression. The last of these was
1933. the next will be 1952. The
probability of a depression in
1952 does not rest upon this magic
formula, of course, but upon the
progress in reconstructing Eu
rope. "Since there is little reason
to anticipate a severe decline in
the Marshall plan and other aid
to foreign countries, and since
deficit spending by the U. S. gov
ernment will probably be con
tinued, this year should be pros
perous. If these are drastically
cut, or if signs of weakness in
the markets make business men
panicky, then the big depression
can begin within the year. More
probably, it will be postponed."

hearted try this one over a draw.

As to some of the more prom

should be given to Crosby's

reason for Crohn's disc being

Teacher Shortage
Serious in State
Nebraska's need lor teachers,
which reached a cnti-al point
dining the war, is still serious,
especially in grade schools.
This conclusion conies from
the annual report of the depart
ment of Educational Services a
division in the University ol Ne
braska Teachers college.
The department, headed by Dr.
Frank E. Sorenron, re eived re
quests for more than 1.500 teach
ers from Nebraska schools but
had only K57 applicants. Not
quite half of the applicants tool;
assicnments.
Nebraska school boards are
not alone in their search for
teachers. The bureau also re
ceived requests lor tea, -hers from
31! other stales, Alaska, Hawaii
the Canal Zone. China and
Kgvpt. The requests Irom out
side Nebraska totaled over 2.000.
This summary gics an idea
of how the requests and appli
cants compared during 19 !!!
Colleges 608 requests; 1(11 ap
plicants. Grade Schools 1.211 requests:
139 anplirar.ts.

School of Journalism at the State
University of Iowa.
Approximately $9,000 is avail
able for the assistantships. In
addition, the student is exempt
from all graduate college tuition
and fees.
Several assistantships involve
direct activity and responsibility
in research. Most of the open
