OVERBEARING OFFICIALS.
Basketball fans are in hearty ac
cord with the effort of the athletic
authorities this rear to have the
crowd treat referees courteously and
respect their decisions. The games
this year have been attended by fair
crowds and they have treated the of
ficials in the way they deserve.- This
is a move forward, and referees have
remarked on this.
At the same time, spectators should
be protected from the overbearing,
domineeung type of referee who
never misses an opportunity to throw
himself into the spotlight. An over
bearing official slows up the game,
injures the morale of the players,
discourages both teams, and grates on
the nerves of the spectators. May
we be spared this type.
All that the average fan demands
of a referee is that he be a fair of
ficial, that he give us a clean, fast
game, and that he at least be a gentleman.

PROHIBITION REFERENDUM.
Although no reports have reached
this university as yet in regard to
the taking of a national liquor ref
erendum, there does exist a report
that a nation-wide referendum on
prohibition will be taken this month
at the leading American universities.
This has already been taken at a
number of schools.
Answers to three questions are
being sought:
1. Do you favor an amend
ment to the Constitution repeal
ing the present prohibition
amendment?
2. Do you favor modification
of the Volstead Act, to permit
the sale of wines and beer?
3. Do you favor more rigorous
enforcement of the prohibition
amendment and the Volstead
Act, to make prohibition an
actuality?
Those charged with the carrying
out of this program are going on the
assumption that the students of to
day will be the leaders in a not far
distant future, and their opinions f r
or against this important question
are to be considered. Few students
were able to vote when the prohibi
tion amendment went into effect.
The whole question of prohibition
today is the relative viewpoints s tc
its success or failure. Many promin
ent men take opposite stands on this
question. To many, prohibition is a
vital matter, to others a big joke. A
referendum among college students
is a fair way of sounding out public
opinion on this much discussed subject.
...Maaasiac Editar which to hang a final grade. Others
believe that it is, for the student, a
means of summarizing the knowl
edge gained during the lectures of
the semester. For others, it is a
check on the kind of teaching they
have done; it shows whether or not
they have placed undue stress on
some points and neglected others.
To the majority of students, a fi
nal examination means just one
more night of "cramming;" to the
minority a systematic study of notes
accumulated through the semester;
to all it means nervewracking, brain-
fagging, intensive study.
There is considerable doubt if the
the study for finals does the student
any real lasting good. A few points
more or less to the average person,
means little; yet since these points
can be acquired through only one
evenings's study, many are going to
try for them. The facts learned in
the final study are learned for a few
hours only; there is no attempt to fix
firmly in mind these points there
isn't time.
There is little justification for the
attitude of the professor who bases
his grades on the final examination
grade. Even at the expense of
little more labor a little more care
in taking dailj grades, or in giving
weekly quizzes the grade should
have a more just basis. And for the
others, as good a check is the daily
quiz, either oral or written.
For the student who is on the bor
derline of "60," the opportunity of
it would be interesting to have their
advocates express them.

"cramming" and getting a passing
mark is often a godsend; but for
those who have worked faithfully for
a whole semester to have to "cram"
to keep from getting marked down
for forgetting some trivial details is
an injustice.
Several professors allow the stu
dents who have done the best daily
wark to be excused from the exami
nation. In the military department
no one takes an examination who has
a grade above 80. Why could not
Nebraska adopt a system which
would allow the hard working stu
dents (comparatively speaking) to
be excused from the final examina
tion? Other schools have this sys
tem. This would still give a basis for
the grade of students who are on the
border-line, and it would avoid the
present injustice.
There are a few courses of course,
to which this principle could not ap
ply, for reasons inherent in the
courses. That could be easily ad
justed. If there are viewpoints which have
not been given notice in this letter.

PETTY STEALING.
Many complaints have been re
ceived about the petty thievery at
L'niversity social functions this year.
Cloakrooms have been rilled and
many articles of clothing have been
taken, and a check-up of missing arti
cles is included in every "post mor
tem" of a social affair.
It is a problem that is hard to cope
with. The offenders must certainly
be among those who are invited to
these affairs, which makes the of
fence greater, and the solution more
difficult. Steps should be taken to
stop this practice and punish the ones
who are guilty of it.
Student Opinion.
FINAL EXAMINATIONS
To the Editor:
Now that philosophic t a!m has suc
ceeded the brainstorms of last week
in the minds of most students, the
question arises, "Why have final
examinations?"
To many members of thefaculty,
it is merely a convenient way of
cLex king up on the pi ogress of the
student it provides a good peg on

To all forwards
who are playing center
"rilHE little fellow hasn't got the reach. Why
don't they put him at forward where he
belongs?"-You have heard comment like that
about some mis-positioned player.
Just look out they don't talk that way about
you not in athletics but in your field of work
after college.
The world is full of doctors who should have
been lawyers, and lawyers who should have
been writers men who can't do their best work
because they haven't got the reach.
You still can avoid their haphazard choice of
a career. Some earnest thinking on the subject,
"What do I really want to do in life?" will
help you decide right.
That's a real problem. Get all the advice you
can from the faculty, from alumni, from men
in business. If you find you have made a false
start, change now and save yourself a lot of
grief for once you graduate into a profession,
the chances are you'll stay in it.
