NEBRASKA BEATS RUTGERS.
It was with great rejoicing that
Nebraska enthusiasts received the
news of the 2S to C victory over Rut
gers play by play as it came over the
wire. Again the Nebraska football
team has established its supremacy
over one of the strong eastern teams,
and this time its supremacy has been
decisive. Again it demonstrates that
the western teams and styles of play
are equal and in this case as well
as in the Army-Notre Dame game
superior to the eastern elevens. The
game play by play clearly demon
strated that it was a hard fought
battle where the best team and
strongest spirit won.
Now, that Nebraska football ability
and spirit has disposed of Rutgers
the first large obstacle which stood
in the way of the 1920 Cornhuskers
on thejr eastern trip all eyes should
be turned to the game with Penn
State Saturday. Although Rutgers
was .greatly feared, the conflict with
Penn State si the most dreaded one
of the two. It will take every ounce
of Nebraska spirit to keep the Husk
ers nearly fifteen hundred miles away,
fighting a winning battle.
Unite the support behind the team
next Saturday in front of the Star
building where the results of the
game will be announced. Here the
students can get together In many a
spirited rally and cheer Nebraska to
victory. The solid support of the stu
dent body Is needed and don't let our
"Cornhusker Psychic Wave" be lack
ing when the Huskers face Penn
State.
THE CONCRETE SITUATION.
The election of Senator Harding Is
evident as we go to press. Now that
Senator Harding is to be our next
president of the United Stales, he is
going to be confronted with the sub
stantial fact that the whole world
except the United States, has entered
the league of nations, and ratified
the treaty or Paris. He has got
through his campaign on his vague
talk about a new association of na
tions. But how is he going to get
through the first year of his adminis
tration with vague talk? Now he
must deal with a concrete situation,
and he must have the combined sup
port of the democrats and republicans.
Senator Harding is not blind to what
Is going on why should anybouy
else be asked to close his eye to
what is going on.
Can anybody read the following re
port in the London Times and not
know that It is a concrete and not a
speculative situation we are to deal
with? The report reads:
"The ninth conference of the coun
cil of the league of nations was con
cluded this morning with the public
session, which made It very clear
that, in the words of M. Bourgeois
the president of the council, the
league was no longer at the stage of
talk but at the stage of action, suc
cessive, repeated, and methodically
linked together. It has also demon
strated that, contrary to the practice
of the peace conference, the small
nations can confidently appeal to the
league for a hearing and help. The
most notable action of the council
has been teh intervention, successful
as far as it goes, in the Polith
Lithuanian conflict
"There was a dramatic incident
after the adoption of the resolution
dealing with the Polish-Lithuanian
dispute, which demonstrated most
effectively Just what the league is
doing. M. Paderewskl, In his speech,
turning to the Lithuanian delegate,
to whom he referred as 'my colleague
and not adversary.' said: We must
rnngrstultle ourselves on this vappy
solution. I offer you my hand as
symbol of the lasting friendship which
should reign between our two coun
tries.' And with a generous gesture
he stretched out his hand."
DO YOUR WORK WELL.
Whatever you do, do it well.
Whether the work be great or small
complete each and every detail.
Finish the Job. Half done work is no
work at all. The man who goes
through with a proposition, who fin
ishes the Job, who clinches each an'!
every part of his work with the finish
ing touch of completeness is the one
who succeeds. The fellow who is
always starting something which he
is unable to finish never gets very
far. He may win popularity at first
for his novel ideas but when they
fail to materialize he loses more than
he ever gained. If you start a thing,
finish it
CRIBBING AND UNIVERSITY
STANDARDS.
The discovery of some means to
curb the evil of cheating in univer
sity circles is a question well worth
the time and effort being devoted to
it. Especially is this true in our own
case, for statistics show that during
the past school year sixty-three cases
were brought before the discipline
committee.
It is exceedingly far from a likable
task to set these figures down in
black and white, but at the same time
the apparent seriousness of the situa
tion demands that it be brought
forcibly home. Students should not
feel that the list is confined only to
Freshmen and Sophomores. Among
the total are listed cases of students
who are classed as leaders in school
life.
Given the problem, the question
topically follows as to how it can
best be solved. In a cosmopolitan
university like Wisconsin, an honor
system would work only with diffi
culty. It has been and is now being
used in the medical school with some
degree of effectiveness. There, how
ever, the social responsibility of a
smaller school exists; while in the
university at large, with its 7.000 stu
dents divided into different colleges,
a feeling of solidarity, much as it is
needed, does not exist.
We are told that an honor system
works exceedingly well at the Univer
sity of Virginia. Slight investigation
makes this reason very apparent. The
students there are drawn from the
old cavalier families who must give
the greatest heed to the reputations
they establish at college. A student
found cribbing is ostracized by his
fellow students and must leave.
With this in mind it might not be
amiss to consider the various phases
of the whole question. Students may
roughly be divided Into three classes;
namely, 1, the habitual cheaters; 2,
the occasional cheaters, or those who
crib on the spur of the minute when
iheir pride will not permit of facing
failure; 3. the honest The largest
number of cheaters undoubtedly falls
into class two. Consequently any
campaign of reformation should seek
to reach them first. In such a manner
that elimination of the habitual
cheater will follow in short order.
Our case is similar to that of the
University of Virginia in the one
respect of students being the medium
for effecting the cure. We must think
not so much of the degree of punish
ment as we must of the certainty of
it. Suppose that it would be possible
to pick some member of the faculty
in whom all of the students could
place their confidence.
Then it would be possible to make
the following appeal to the students.
If any of them see a case of cheating
let it be reported, not as a charge
but rather as a check for the future.
In that way the man who is an
habitual cheater will be reported from
practically all of his classes before he
is so listed and before charges are
brought.
Such a practice does In a certain
sense savor of "tattling" and for that
reason might not work. By far the
best plan advanced is the one which
gets the party while he is still in
class two. It is the one plan which
points the way to a logical solution.
If the entire student personnel is
going to be converted to the prin
ciples of honesty why not evolve a
system that will make the cheater
feel he will be an outcast from the
good graces of campus life?
When,' as was the case In one in
stance last year, almost an entire
class takes advantage of a near
sighted instructor to do wholesale
cribbing, the few honest students in
the class could not bare been accused
of the odious art of "tattling" if they
had gone to the authorities, asked
for cancellation of the examination
and the holding of another one under
stricter supervision. If thr occasional
cheater is Informed that he can't get
by with it; that It isn't fair with the
rest of the class; and finally that It
isn't square with the cheatci himself
the practice will soon become a mat
of history.
In tha past students have voted
down the installation of at nonor
system at Wisconsin. Tbe evil of
cheating still persists and will con
tinue to do so until there will come
to be a voluntary desire on the part
of every student to shun the practice
to the point of letting ever other
student know his views.
The Cardinal will welcome a frank,
unbiased, and constructive discussion
of this entire question in its com
munication column. Therein can
usually be found the way to solve
those questions uppermost in the
minds of students. The Cardinal.
