NEEDED A REMEDY
Will Nebraska have the punch to beat Ames next Saturday? That
la a question which is puzzling students, rooters, alumni and all
followers of Coinhusker sport; even the coach and the team.
Certain it is. that if Nebraska is to win, the team must work and
must employ snappier plays than used in previous games. In every
game played this season the Coinhusker scoring punch has been lack
ing. The material seemed to be there, the team apparently war. In
fine trim for battle, but it lacked the stamina to put the ball across
at the critical time. In this respect, every game Jias been a failure.
Nebraska has been playing strong teams, it is true, but in every
game this season one team has been within scoring distance of the
goal line only to fail in the crucial test of putting the ball over. A
diagnosis of conditions is needed as well as a remedy to offset the
indifference of the team.
Failure to beat Ames by a decisive score will be a stinging re
proach to Cornhusker football and a keen disappointment to students
and alumni.
A WHY OF VICTORY
There is a "why" of victory of which the student body is no
generally aware. It Is a spiritual essence which is deeper and more
fundamental than the physique and brain which won the game las
Saturday.
Every night when the long hours of practice are over, when 'he
rubber has done its bit and the team members make their hungiy
descent upon the training table at the Commons, this significant "why"
of victory crops out above the matter-of-fact exterior of the thirty
youths on the Varsity squad.
Hungry and tired, they wait until all Hie assembled and before
the meal every man of them stands to sing the first stanza of the
"Alma Mater." It is their prayer breathed for the success of Wash
ington by men not too stalwart, to pray and not too timid to ge. out
and do Gargantuan service to back up their prayer.
Think about it. Try to emulate that sort of spirit. Try to b-'ng
yourself to that mental state. It is a little thing, but it is one of the
"whys" of victory. Student Life.
IMPORTANCE OF THE HONOR SYSTEM
The University of Illinois is updating under thu honor system
by the consent of the Council of Administration and at the request ot
the entire student body as expressed ii a public election last spring.
The undergraduate has done his share in establishing the system
and in keping it on a working basis. The entire responsibility of
examinations has been shitted to the student body and the way in
which the student body has accepted it is gratifying to all believers
in the integrity of the men and women at Illinois.
But if the student takes the responsibility of acting on his honor
it is also the duty of the instiuctor to assist as much as he possibly
can in making the honor system experiment an unqualified success.
If the student has the night to take examinations under the honor
system it Is the duty of the instructor to see that examinations are
conducted under that plan. Ail of the faculty, however, have not
fallen in line with the policy as established last spring. Some have
remained in the room, perhaps unthinkingly, but nevertheless vio
lating the spiit of the plan. One has gone so far as to announce
that his classes would not be conducted under the honor system.
Such an intolerant attitude on the part of an Instructor will crush
out of the student whatever good intentions and friendly feelings he
may have toward that instructor. It will breed contempt for an
institution that establishes a system and then refuses to live op to
it. It makes the honor system a Joke and the granting of it a mere
pretext.
The action on the part of one instructor casts a shauow over
all the good points oi the system; the intolerance of one man
creates an impression among new students at the University. The
honor system has been given to us and it is our right to demand that
classes be conducted unter that plan, whether the instructor 13 in
favor of it or not. If e are going to succeed with the system, it
is the duty of the whole University to get together and work to
ward the same end The Daily Ulinl.

tact and few prejudices, and had no
idea whatever of reforming the Ar
gentinos or of featuring the wonder
fu 1 wealth and superiority of the
United States. This is the type of man
we have got to educate if we are go
ing to be luccessful in t he competition
for South American business.
German Advantage
Tlie Germans have had a great su
periority due to their thorough educa
tion, linguistic abilities, and because
they indentify themselves with inhabi
tants of foreign countries in a way
that we Americans do not and will not
for some time. Usually an American
goes to South America to get all he
can out of that country in a short
time. He rarely marries among the
people as the Germans do, and very
seldom becomes identified with the
communities permanently. This puts
us under some disadvantage."
The letter from which these quota
tions have been selected was written
In response to queries made by men
In the higher offices of the University
who are interested in educating young
men for service in the Latin countries
to our south .either for dfplomatic or
commercial work. It is the intention
of university authorities to put in
branches of work which will meet the
requirements for such vocations and
steps are now being taken to find just
what kind of training will be most es
sential fo rsuch service. There are a
number of intsructors in the different
colb-ges who are fully competent to
give training in many of the lines of
work which have already been found
necessary for the student who desires
to take up his life work in South Amer
ican countries.
