Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln. Nebraska as second
class mail matter, under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1916.
Some people may think that we arc placing too much emphasis
upon the question of honesty in examinations. That of course is not
for us to say. We say that something must be done and that the stu
dents should use their initiative rather than be requested to do some
thing some time in the near future.
Are there no more students who wish to express their opinions in
regard to the examination situation? The Forum is open at all times
for the expression of student opinion. Take advantage of an oppor
tunity to help push a worthy cause. If you are afraid of getting on
the wrong side of the fence in this matter will you ever take a definite
stand T
vorcif V nnstor. has returned from par
ticipating in two student campaigns
conducted by Raymond Robins. . ine
first ramuaicn was in Kansas Agri
cultural college at Manhattan, and the
second was in the University of Okia
homa.
renorts very successful cam
miens In both schools. Mr. Robins bad
large audiences at all of his addresses
and the leaders were busy practically
all tho time in interviews. Over 800
men in the two institutions signed
cards indicating their intention to re
late themselves In a more vital and
responsive way to the Christian pro
gram in life.
Mr. Worthley reports many expres
sions of disappointment on the part
of tho Oklahoma "students that they
did not get a game with Nebraska.
The entire Oklahoma team was up
here to see the Iowa game with the
intention of fathoming Chamberlain's
style of play, so that in case a game
should be secured they would be able
to prepare some defense against him.
Men were not inclined to the opinion
that they could defeat Nebraska, but
they were sure it would have been
'some" game.

LABORATORY HAS THIEVES
If You Have Any Valuable Do Not
Venture to Leave Them in the
Chemistry Building
Another calamity has happened In
the Chemistry laboratory. This time
it was not an accident but something
that may lead to worse things than
accidens, If it is not stopped in a
very short time. It is stealing in the
laboratory. The assistants and pro
fessors are up in arms over it. If a
student has a good flask, beaker, burn
er or anything that Is worth stealing,
he does not dare turn his back for
this said article disappears Immediate
ly. It makes no difference to the thief
If your fifth unknown is In the beak
er, if he wants it, he just dumps out
the unknown and good-bye to all of
your work, that has cost many tears
and brung and burned up a suit or
two in the meantime.
Now, can't this be stopped? Is there
not honor enough among the students
to "kill" an action of this kind?
Cheating in classes is bad enough, but
it certainly is not nearly as bad as
this is. It is a shame that when a
person becomes a student In the Uni
versity that he must become a crook
and a thief.
The students can stop this if they
would, .and It would not be a difficult
Job either. What would one of those
who are so light-fingered think if he
bad one of his unknowns almost work
ed out and somebody came along and
dumped it out so they could have the
beaker that contained it, the thing
which can be purchased at the store
window for one penny of the fee paid
when they registered for the course.
It seems almost incredible that a Uni
versity student would lower himself
o such a plane and yet some do it
every time that they get a chance.
The professors wonder what they
would do with a few of these if they
were to catch them. They can t turn
them over their knees and spank them
like you would a 6-year-old. That
would probably help. The value of
what they steal is not great enough
to send them to the penitentiary for
life, but they surely could and would
expel such a person if hey ever catch
him. Not only expel him, but expel
him publicly and thus make an exam
ple of him to any of the others that
would feel so inclined.
If the faculty does anything about
cheating and "cribbing" they ought
to look into this matter and investi
gate it thoroughly, for it not only hap
pens in the Chemistry department,
but also In several of the other de
partments. Why couldn't the students
make it their duty to stop this sort
of hing?
