STORY HARDING
For This Issue
THE HONOR SYSTEM.
In reading the exchange dailies from other colleges all over the
United States, it has been interesting to note that the two universal
subjects of discussion, both in the news and editorial sections have
been the necessary increase in professors' salaries and the honor
system. These two questions form a great part of the news in all ,
the college papers now, and never does a new lot of papers come
to the office without several interesting articles on both subjects.
We are glad to have Nebraska in the ring now, and we will try to
give you some of the viewpoints of other students during the intro
duction of the movement here.
WHERE IS THE KOSMET PLAY?
For two years, because of war conditions and lack of material,
the Kosmet Klub has not produced its annual play and judging from
present indications, there will be none this year. What is the reason
for this fact? Has Nebraska talent been lost in the shuffle of lessons
and activities, did the Klub fail to give sufficient time notice of their
contest for manuscript, or do mercenary reasons enter in? The
Kosmet Klub offers every year -a hundred dollar prize to the person
writing the best play for their annual musical comedy. Surely for
this amount, some talented person ought to be inspired to try for the
prize. In addition, a certain honor goes with the award.
The Klub has produced six delightful musical comedies: '12 The
Diplomat; '13 The Match Makers; '14 El Presidente; '15 The
Easy Mark; '16 Knight of the Nymphs; '17 The Diplomat, revised
and wiih a new musical score. It is too late to try to put on a pro
duction this year, but it is hoped that people interested in such work
will begin thinking of a plot immediately. Let's not let this go by
next year. If you feel that you have any talent, in either play writ
ing or the musical line, talk to the Kosmet committee now and start
working on something this spring for next year.
THE CAMPUS BEAUTIFUL.
Another sign of spring the gardeners are making preparations
to fill the tulip beds and put up wire guards and fences around these
campus beauty spots. Soon the University grounds will blossom out
in plots of brilliant red and yellow tulips and as soon as their season
is over, other plants will be brought from the greenhouses. These
flower-beds are a joy to those interested in making the campus itself
worthy of Nebraska's name, and now it is for the students to do
their part. Often, thoughtlessly, they pick the flowers or in their
haste to a class, cut across the beds and trample them down. Let
us tiy to keep them as lovely as possible. This is our campus and
what we do here reflects back on us.
PENNSYLVANIA v. THE PROCTOR.
That the honor system is a sure destroyer of hap-hazard proctor
ing has been instanced at the University of Pennsylvania within the
last two months. Like Dartmouth, Pennsylvania found herself in a
quandary. She was a house divided against itself, for in the three
schools which make up the university three systems existed.
In the College proper the elimination of cheating was left to the
individual judgment of each Instructor. Some chose to act as proc
;o)8 and others placed their confidence in the Inherent honor of the
examined. In the Engineering College, the plan was enforced by
the strength of public opinion. However, the Wharton Schooi main
tained the only efficient and effective system. Its honor code was
definitely drawn up and placed before men taking an examination.
This code had three steps in Its enforcement, (1) the signing of a
pledge on every examination paper, (2) reporting all offenders by the
undergraduates to the student committee and (3) trial by this body
with failure given as a punishment for the first offence, and ex
pulsion for the second.
Only partial success was experienced in the Engineering School
where no written code existed. Wharton School accomplished two
fold results: it eliminated cheating, and it presented such a contrast
to the irregular proctoring of the College that an insurmountable
wave of protest against proctoring gathered. This wave culminated
in an agitation for one universal honor system for the three schools.
In a student mass meeting an overwhelming vote was registered for
a code similar to that of Wharton School. Members of a student
committee were appointed and are now writing the articles of a con
stitution to be submitted to a university referendum. The Dartmouth.
