Parasites Depend On
Brains of Others 7o
Make Grades In Exams
"Nope, can't say as I know a thing
about this; I'll have to trust to the
girl next to me for my grade." That
is the way most of us go to exams and
the way wc pass them. Wo depend
on tne brains and industry of others;
we are that creature known by so
ciety as parasite.
No one hesitates for a single instant
about taking the opportunities to ex
change or accept knowledge. It is
habitual and customary, it is being
done. We cut for all we're worth and
never feel any pangs of conscience
because of this laxness. If one or
two students in a class know lots and
are willing to pass it along very few
can possibly flunk the exam. Anyone
vho is a proficient copier can get by
with all but murder.
It is perfectly legitimate to "bluff
because all you can get out of your
own miad is yours, feeblo and un
certain as it may be.
Cheating is so prevalent that you
never wink an eye-lash at it, and quite
the contrary with honesty when you
find an exceptional honest man in the
midst of us hypocrites you gasp and
think that he must be the man
Diogenes searched for with his lan
tern. People evidently had the same
trouble in that day that they have
now.
HUSKER DEBATERS TO FATE
IOWA III 10 MATCHES
Firs Forensic Contest for Nebraska
Will Be With Haweyes.
Nebraska's first venture in inter
collegiate debating this year wi'l ttke
place the last of April or early in
May, according to Prof. M. M. Fogg,
when the Huskers will enter a for
ensic contest with the University of
Iowa on the question of the closed
ihon. The exact phrasing of the
proposition has not been settled.
There will be wo debates one at
Iowa City and one at Lincoln.
The innovation started at the Ne
braska-Iowa contests last yea- th
pen forum will be continued. After
the formal debate persons in the
udience will put questions to the
members of the teams. This give and
take discussion proved highly inter
esting last year, running for about an
hour at each debate.
The omission of special faculty
coaching, which Iowa and Nebraska
Ir
augurated last year and which has
ince been adopted by several of the
tate universities of the nortVeasf
will also be continued. The idea is
that Intercollegiate debates shall ap
ply what they have already learned in
courses in argumentative composition
or elsewhere about the science and
th
e art of debate.
Nebraska candidates for the group
from which the teams will be selected
are requested to leave their names
with Professor Fogg before vacation
The teams will have to be selected
about a week after vacation.
Speaking members will have the
dditional honor of election to Delta
:igma Rbo. the honorary national de-
oate fraternity.
