FORUM
CHORUS MEMBERS WANTED
It is an earnest desire of those In
J charge of the University Chorus, that
all those who are Interested m sing
i ing. register for this work the en-
suing semester.
I About one hundred and seventy-live
students registered for Chorus last
fall and it is hoped that the total
number registered for the coming se
mester will reach the two hundred
mark.
During this semester, the work with
Irish and Scotch folk songs was not
only enjoyed by the Chorus members,
but was well received by large au
diences at Convocation the two times
the songs were rendered. Work has
already begun in preparation for the
May festival. Indications, so far,
point to this annual affair being a
marked success this spring.
One hour credit is given for the
work. Three rehearsals are held each
i week. These come at ; o'clock on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Men
who want to take both drill and
chorus are excused from the latter on
Wednesday and, instead of meeting at
5 o'clock Monday, meet at 8 o'clock
that evening.
The past few years chorus work
has been very successful at the Uni
versity and all who can should regis
ter for it next week. A free ticket to
the Damrosch Orchestra concert will
be given to each chorus member
when these high class professionals
appear here in May.
It is the conviction of thinking
people that the prevalent forms of
dishonesty among students are not
founded upon the desire to do evil,
but rather arise from distorted ideals
acquired in the grades and the high
school and carried over in University
life. Perhaps this practice would
cease among otherwise honorable
young people if they fully realized the
significance and consequences of the
offense.
Since we are all more or less ma
terially minded, let us consider the sit
uation; first, from the standpoint of
dollars and cents. Statistics show that
the average cost of the education of
a University student, for one year is
approximately $300. Taking the aver
age program as fifteen hours each hour
of credit costs some $10. Hence, a
student who has dishonestly gathered
in three hours of credit, has stolen
outright from the taxpayers of state
and nation the sum of $30. Reckon
for yourself the cost of a single theme
or quiz or examination. Not many
people would unhesitatingly pick the
pockets of the state in this fashion, if
they knew what they were doing.
Furthermore, the state and nation
are glad to take back into their serv
ice the young men and women edu
cated at their expense, and are will
ing to pay them liberally for this ser
vice. However, it is expected that
I University training will have made
I these young people competent. Thus,
, the person who acquires hours of cred
, it and finally a diploma, without hav
1 ing made some individual growth for
each hour acquired, and who then ac
cepts the money of the state, is again
committing robbery and theft, only on
a larger scale. And this continues
until the people awaken to the fact
that they are being cheated. There
upon, the work of the University is
j discredited and this discredit reflects
I upon every graduate of the institu
.in. The above discussion deals only
with the material evil. The spiritual
evil is appalling and never ending.
Why do the citizens of the state
and nation spend money for educa
tion? Because they are actuated by
a magnificent appreciation of the fun
damental requirements of democracy,
and realize that education is neces
sary for the happiness of the individ
ual and the progress of the race. One
who accepts the free will offering of
the state is in duty bound to respect
these principles and to add, because
of his better education, to the better
growth toward higher civilization.
Incompetency may start at a ver
little point, but it spreads in ever wid
ening circles, to the institutions of to
day and to the generations of the fu
ture. Tart of the difficulties of the
present situation arise from the fact
that incompetent teachers have gone
back into the grades and high school
without the knowledge or power to
correct little evils before they had a
chance to grow big.
We are reasoning, sensible adults.
Let us rise in our might and over
come this evil. Surely it will not be
occomplished by "squealing"' to author
ities; that is the method of early child
hood. But there is a strong power,
with justice swift and sure, which
will kill the evil in one short week.
That power is Student Sentiment. In
this connection, the thoughtlul indi
vidual student who is worthy and hon
orable carries a great responsibility.
He is the one who sees the evil. He
is the one who knows the culprit. He
is the one who suffers from the evil.
Hence, he is the one to correct it.
An instructor is not only helpless to
do efficient police duty, but it is be
neath his dignity and it is an insult
to the worthy student.
The thoughtful student must ex
press his disapproval of a dishonest
act to his friends and neighbors and
especially to the person who does the
deed. Only a hardened criminal would
fail to respond to such treatment and
our students are simply thoughtless.
Then let this be the slogan for the
coming season of trial, for thoughtful
and thoughtless alike, and let it be
expressed as often as necessary:
"As a student of the University of
Nebraska, and as a recipient of the
good gifts of the state, I do not ap
prove of any act small or great, which
will reflect discredit upon the fair
name of my University or which will
work injury to my state."

Meetings at State Farm
That the United States is destined
to lead the world in raising of pure
bred draft horses and will, in the
future be supplying Europe instead of
the latter taking the lead as it has
done in the past, was the statement
made by W. J. Kennedy, draft horse
expert and formerly head of the De
partment of Animal Husbandry at the
Ames Agricultural College, in an ad
dress on "Draft Horse Production," be
fore the Nebraska Horse Breeders' as
sociation, Tuesday afternoon, at the
State Farm.
Ask Class Many Questions
Prof. M. M. Fogg's class in Rhet
oric 13, yesterday, was requested to
answer a number of questions on
points of general knowledge. This
list was given to Prof. Fogg by a well
known business man of Lincoln, who
wished to find out to what extent the
Btudents of the University were post
ed on everyday topics. The questions
varied all the way from "Who was
Charlie Chaplin?" to "What is Ne
braska's Motto?"

. May Have Skating Today
We were promised the skating rink
by yesterday, but as it was still rough
iii the morning, the flooding was con
tinued during the day. The south
half of the field is still somewhat
rough due to the snowstorm of last
yock but the north half is very smooth
and ought to make good skating to
day. Ho not give up hope or throw
your skates away, for we will have
skating yet.
