(Editor", note: Nebraska to not

cheating. The following

university Duke, offers
last- week
Wake Forest college in North Carolina tor cheating on
examinations, and the placing on probation of three more
players for the same offense, brings to light one of flag
rant offenses committed by university students these
postwar days. ,
Many students are expelled from schools across the
nation each semester for cheating, but unless they are
prominent athletically or otherwise, few people hear of the
cases outside of the students involved and their parents.
And so the deplorable practice, which flourishes today as
never before, continues unabated and little condemned.
Cheating on exams has long had a "place in college
life," but the practice was never so prevalent nor as well
developed as it is in today's over-crowded universities.
These crowded conditions, which prohibit proper supervi
sion of students, contribute materially to the situation, but
different attitudes on the part of the older students are
also concerned.
An article on cheating in college class rooms which
appeared in a recent issue of a leading national magazine
stated:
Many students in school today have their minds set
on one particular vocation and resent detours in the form
of seemingly unrelated courses which they are forced to
pursue in order to acquire a degree. The engineering
majors, for example, can see no use for a course in Span
ish, nor can the English majors see any reason for taking
a year of physics. And so they cheat to pass these courses
an by doing so set a bad example for the younger students
who observe them."
This type of student, it might also be observed, has
completely missed the boat in regard to the advantages of
a well-rounded education and the goal of a cultural back
ground for the student toward which most universities
aim in designing their curricula.
Other reasons advanced by eucation experts for the
avalanche of cheating which has descended on the colleges
in the past few years include: self-defense, "because so
many others do it you have to cheat to get a good grade,"
and too much emphasis on grades rather than on subject
matter on the part of the professors.
Whatever the excuse, cheating is a moral and practi
cal wrong and seriously jeopardizes the true aims of edu
cation. Aside from the moral issues involved, which are
obvious, the practicality, or rather the impracticality, of
cheating denies the basic premises of learning for learn
ing's sake, and knowledge for knowledge's sake upon
which the educational systems of most nations in the
world are based. The student who cheats substitutes in
stead good grades and perhaps a degree, then goes out into
the world to find out how ignorant he has become while
acquiring his "college education." The paper degree he
has obtained is a poor substitute for the knowledge he
might have gained if his aims had not been preverted.
In way of solutions, a return to smaller classes and
Improved supervision are likely to be most successful, but
are hardly feasible at this time due to the influx of post
war students. The answer may lie with the students
themselves.
More cooperation between the administration and fac
ulty and students is the simplest answer to the problem,
but the cooperation stickler has been a thorn in the educa
tional flesh for some time. At any rate, something must
be done about cheating in our nation's universities, if only
to save students from themselves.
Grade Standstill
The poor abused student!
to all the ordeals of takinsr exams and the simple of final
week, but then we have to wait until second semester is 1
half over before we find out what we got out of our courses. I
We are referring to the 1,000 grades that have not yet I
uccii miiicu in to uie registrar, mereDy slowing up the
S'aues processing. n,ven tnough mortem inventions
have been perfected to compute grades. In other words,
the speedy IBM process depends on the "speedy" faculty
members.
It should be made clear, however, that not all the
faculty are at fault for all but halting grade computation.
Some of the faculty, especially those who have large
classes, turned in their grades within ten days.
But there are some small courses of one to twelve en
rollees, who have either forgotten all about grades or else
have adopted a "no grade" policy. These negligent instruc
tors are succeeding in preventing early organization initia
tions, slowing up the Dean's office work, and may easily
disrupt second semester courses. Prerequisities may have
been failed and the student not know it because of no rec
ord of the course grade has been turned in.
When a student fails to get in all his work or is in
someway negligent during a course, he finds out very
soon, either from the instructor or even from the dean. But
what happens to the faculty members when their "work"
Is late: maybe a fine could be levied or checks held up?
We don't know what the solution is, but something should
be done about thi3 negligence.

Presidents Asked
To Settle Pictures
The Cornhusker editor requests
the heads of the following organ
izations contact that office imme
diately for arrangement pertain
ing to informal pictures.
The groups are Ag Engineers,
A.S.M.E., I.S.A., Phi Chi Theta,
Omicron Nu, Phi Upsilon Omi
cron, and Palladian.
To the editor:
If a practice is bad, constant criticism and a great variety of
solutions should not make the practice worse. That is why I add
my ideas to the many which have been published in the "Rag" of
late.
No one will disagree that nearly all social pressures upon this
campus are originated within the organized houses. This can hardly
be otherwise, since without organization there can be no social prts
sures. That there is enough organization on this campus to make
certain activities function is a good thing. The Greeks deserve much
credit for their rally which helped us save our football coach, and
they deserve full credit for the rejuvenation of college spirit in this
school. Every activity that flourishes, or at least those which flourish
most, has the Greeks behind it. The Greeks now have another great
opportunity to do their school a service.
I have no means of proving my contention, but I believe that in
!)0 of the cases of exams being "out," the houses are guilty. Having
access to questions previous to exam period is not considered wrong
within these groups. Being at the bottom of the list when the
scholastic report comes out is considered wrong. The group is ex
pected to give every advantage to its members because the scholastic
prestige of the group depends upon th accomplishments of its in
dividual mmbers. No house likes to lose a good pledge because
he did not make his average. No house cares to withdraw one of its
popular members from an honorary position because his grades arc
not high enough.
If there is a sufficient minority of houses on this campus, which
can, without being hypocratical, stand up and shout, "This is wrong
and must stop!" let them do so. If there is not a -sufficient minority,
and I do not believe that there is, let me offer this challenge to any
house which will accept it: Clean up your own house, admit that
the file system has been carried too far, and condemn those groups
which do not follow your leadership. The honor system should be
come at least as important a part of pledge training as the fraternity
history. Cheating will remain within this institution only as long
as you allow it.
As an independent student I know to whom this university be
longs. Take care of it.

Editorial
A recent survey conducted among teachers in Illinois
helps to bring to light "Why professors get gray." The
survey attempted to show the reason for the feeling of
unrest and insecurity among instructors which is respon
sible for the large yearly turnover in college faculties.
Teacher morale, according to this survey, rests chiefly on
administrative support in dicipline. The top ten factors,
in order, were: Administrative support in discipline,
friendly inter-faculty relations, belief in and enjoyment
of teaching, a just and aequate salary plan, worthy re
tirement pension plan, administration shows confidence,
faculty cooperation in activities, adequate sick and emer
gency leave, position security through sound tenure and
constructive, sound and democratic supervision.
Every year the University receives a sizable set-back
for repairs to desks. The cost of repair made necessary
by classroom Michelangelos ultimately comes out of our
own pockets. We won't have any sudden hike in tuition,
but the dollars and cents which now go for repairs would
add up to a meaningful sum if put to some other use. If
students can't take the trouble to jot down a few notes,
they could at least apply their energies to something less
destructive.
When one starts to thank all the indiviuals and or
ganizations for the scholarships they offer to students, he
runs into an almost endless job. But we feel that the Uni
versity Faculty Women's club deserves a special thanks
for the $100 scholarship it gives to a deserving coed each
year. At a time when faculty members are far from the
highest paid people in the world, their wives certainly are
to be commended for giving extra thought and money to
the University and its students.

Contrive V-Day Camouflage
BY JOAN KRl'EGER
Valentine's Day the day when
men's thoughts finally turn to
what the girls have been think
ing about all year.
This is the one day of the year
when the fellows can whisper
sweet love notes in the girls'
ears and be reasonably sure that
she won't respond coyly: "But
Emily Post doesn't approve!"
Valentine's Day, more often
than not, marks a new era in
most eirls' lives. It's the open
ing of a new courtship. By the
end of the semester, she isn't
wearing the fellow's pin or ring i
she's probably decided that
she can do better.
This day of sentiment means
little to me. A week BVD (Be
fore Valentine's Day) I received
a letter from my dearly deloved
fumilv Dolitelv requesting me
(this request was in the form of:
If vou don't we'll cut your al
lowance) to trot downtown and
hand select 1,205 of the gastly
creations for my little 10-year-old
brother. He wants to send
them to his girl friends and five
boy friends. At this age they
arc firm supporters of "variety

Abuse.
The function of the Union is
primarily student use. Any stu

educational function as long as
it is used in the line it was con

More students spend time in the
Ag union in proportion to Ag
college student population than
in the downtown Union.
It is also true by visible evi
dence that many of these same
students show improper consid
eration to each other and to the
Union. Have you noticed the ha

hard to find either. In fact it
makes the place a "mess".
We could say this shows evi
dence of home training. We could
sav, "you wouldn't do that at
home " We could say we're just
thoughtless, or that we don't
care.
But we've heard that before.
Maybe it isn't our fault. Maybe
it's" the Union's fault. I'm in
clined to think it's a SO-SO deal.
Ag students could be prouder
of the Ag Union if two things
were done: One, the Union put
more waste baskets at conveni
ent points: make a better at
tempt at hiring additional labor
to take care of ordinary mess
and disorder. Help is admittedly
lacking.
Too, students put waste paper
where it belongs the wastebas
kels. not the floor.
Several other things would
promote better Union conditions.
Coat racks are in the recreation
room to be used. Use them.
Civil language is a common
courtesy coeds included. And
straws don t belong on tnc ecu

I Despite these seemingly petty
gripes, the Union board is cog

preciative of some things that
i Ag students don't do.

keep the Union open, action
