STUDENTS GIVE VENT TO
SPIRIT IN GREAT RALLY
Thoujands of Frenzied Men and Women Pay Vocal Homage
To Cornhusker Players and Are Assured That
Notre Dame Will Be Defeated
ROCKNE, TOO, EXPRESSES CONFIDENCE OF VICTORY
Torch-Bearing Throng Surges Through City to Give Irish
Squad Great Ovation Captain Crowe Not so Con
fident When Called on
Thousands of Cornhusker students yelled, cheered, sang,
.nrl shouted their throats dry last night in a great demonstra
t5nn of "Nebraska football spirtf." It was a cheering, singing,
.pllintr rally crowd that for an hour and a half gave the
tmrwt of its lungs in homage to the Nebraska football team,
and in welcome to the Notre Dame team. .
In the light of a huge bonfire, to whose soaring flames
v,oH hoen added timbers from old University Hall and Ne
EJaska Hall, the crowd gathered The red glare of the flames
and torches played over the stand on which the players waited
for the din to stop.
"We're Going To Win"
"We are going in there tomorrow
to win," proclaimed Captain Ed Weir,
the first Cornhusker to speak, and his
words were reiterated by others.
Then, with the cry "Beat Notre
Dame" ringing in its ears the crowd
surged from the campus drill field
and started on its mission of encour
aging the Notre Dame team.
Down 0 street the thousands of
torch-bearing students swept every
thing before them. Red-sirted Corn
Cobs cleared the way as best they
could. The band followed behind
them.
A block from the hotel the crowd
burst away from the parade forma
tion and started on a charge. Knute
Rockne and his Notre Dame team
were there on tne balcony waiting for
them. The mob paused a bit while
students pushed their way within
hearing distance, and then gave a
cheer for Notre Dame.
"Just so youH get it straght, let
me remind you that we beat you last
year, and we'll beat you tomorrow,"
shouted the most famous coach in
America, Knute Rockne of Notre
nmp. in renlv to the calls of the mob
for him to get in the spot light which . .
played on the men gathered on the USE WEIGHTED AVERAGE
balcony.

Captain Crowe of Notre Dame, was
not quite so confident, however. He
expressed his reaction to Nebraska
spirit in this way: "From the looks
of this crowd it seems that it's going
to be an interesting afternoon to
morrow. It's going to be a fight and
we may possibly win." Then, while
the crowd cheered each man he intro
duced the members of the Notre
Dame squad.

SCHOLARSHIP
PINS TO THREE
Loretta Granzer, Irma Hillman
And Evelyn Wallivey
Receive Honors
ienjc scholarship pins at the Thanks-
eivine convocation, Tuesday, in the
Temple Theater. Prof. P. H. Grum
mann read the governor's Thanksgiv
ing proclamation, and the University
orchestra played four selections.
Loretta Granzer with a weighted
average of 96.06 won the freshman
Pan-Hellenic award; Irma Hillman,
95.53, the sophomore award; and
Evelyn Wallivey, 96.04, the junior
award. Edith Carter ranked first in
the junior class with an average of
96.25 but she did not return to scnooi
this year.
Among the freshmen of last year,
Dorothy Nott, with a weighted aver
age of 95.63 was awarded honorable
mention. Among the sophomores,
Neola Skala, 95.47, Marjorie Stocks,
95.27, and Mary Langevin, ito.lb,
were awarded honorable mention.
Karen Jensen, 95.32, was given hon
orable mention in the junior class.
Miss Baird Speaks
In announcing the awards, Martha
Claire Baird stated: "To further
high scholarship on the campus, a
custom was started several years
ago by the local Pan-Hellenic group
of awarding a pin to the iresnman
girl, the sophomore girl, and the
junior girl who had the highest
scholarship standing in her class."
In computing scholarships a system
of weighted averages is used in which
compensation is made for the number
of hours carried.
As Governor McMullen was out ot
the city, the tradition of having the
governor read his Thanksgiving proc
lamation at the Thanksgiving con
vocation was impossible. Instead
Prof. Grummann read it.

TICKET PLOT
NIPPED IN BUD
Someone Tries to Have Bogus
Military Ball Tickets
Validated
WARNINGS ARE ISSUED
An attempt made Tuesday by some
unknown person to have a number of
Military Ball tickets validated at the
student activities office proved fu
tile and resulted in a search for the
person in possession of the "phoney"
tickets. The identity of the attempt
ed forger was not ascertained.
As is the usual custom with Univer
sity affairs, all tickets for the
Military Ball which is to be held on
December 4 at city auditorium, have
to go through a regular procefcs of
validation which includes the stamp
ing of the name "John K. Selleck,"
student activities agent
Only 250 tickets have been put on
sale for the ball by the Cadet Offi
cers' Association, and the demand has
been heavy- It is believed that this
heavy demand and the ease with
which tickets are sold is the cause of
this attempted forgery.
Seeking; Culprits
University authorities are now en
deavoring to find out who the cul
prits are. Students are asked to be
very careful to see that tickets are
properly validated before buying
them and to report any one who tries
to sell them an un-validated ticket
An unusually close check will be
kept at the door because of this trou
ble which has arisen and Colonel
Sampson, head of the Cadet Officers'
Association, is confident that no one
will be able to gain admission without
the proper ticket,- validated 'as it
should be."
No more tickets are being distri

Hasker-Notre Dame Game Has Been
Middle- West Classic for Ten Years
(Ey Robert Lasch)
Nebraska versus Notre Dame.
If that simple statement means
nothing to the world in general; if
kings and presidents do not suspend
Lheir activities on account of those
words; if everyday affairs go on just,
.he same, then how is this:
The Nebraska football team, fol
lowing a season of difficult games
with strong teams, is now prepared
for the climax of the schedule which
will come on Thanksgiving day with
the game against Notre Dame, an
cient rivals of the Huskers and as
anxious for victory as the team in
Lincuiu.
That means something in Nebraska
and in South Bend, Ind.
Since 1915 Notre Dame and Ne
braska football teams have battled
once each season in a game which
yearly attracts national attention as
the classic of the middle-west. From
the first game, when the Huskers
downed the Irish by a score of 20-19,
spirit has been aroused on both

FLING FAYORS
HONOR SYSTEM
Cheating Is Spiritual Suicide,
Says Professor in World
Forum Address
ASKS STUDENT SUPPORT
Urging student initiative as the
one and only cure for cheating, Prof.
F. M. Fling advocated in his address
at the World Forum at the Grar.d
Hotel yesterday noon the establish
ment of an honor system which
should function by virtue of student
support and authority rather than by
faculty authority.
Dr. Fling said that the honor
system had never been tried here. In
pointing out the dangers of dishon-
est action in school, he called atten-
jtion to the fact that the brightest and
most dangerous men in the peniten
tiary were college graduates, edu
cated men.
Teachers Fail
"In our public school educational
system," stated Dr. Fling, "we have
never appreciated the full duty of
the teacher." He quoted a recent
English author who declared that
character determined the success of
a people. Professor Fling then
charged that too many of our teach
ers failed to realize this; too many
didn't care what the student did outi
side the classroom so long as good
work was done in the classroom. "I
have felt that more fundamental than
intellectual development is the mat
ter of character in education."
In illustrating the evil he believed
resulted from cheating Dr. Fling
quoted the passage, "What profiteth
a man if he gain the world and lose
his own soul?", which he said was at
the bottom of the question of an hon
or system. He called attention to a
Southern school in which a boy cheat
ing was expelled not by the action of
the school authorities, but by the oth
er men who refused to countenance
such an action.
Challenges Students
Throughout his address, Professor
Fling hurled the challenge at the stu
dents, "Were not the students in that
Virginia school right?"
"They have no honor system at the
University of Virginia," said Profes
sor Fling, " but they have an honor
spirit. No student doing crooked
work can stay there because of the
attitude of the students against it."
"To make the honor system suc
cessful you must get it out of your
heads that it is dishonorable to tell
on the cheaters. That is the force
that is tearing down our intellectual
fabric. If you haven t done your
work, say so and take your medicine,
but don't ask anyone to help you com
mit spiritual suicide by aiding you to
cheat."
It was announced that Dean J. E.
LeRossignol of the College of Busi-
ness Administration would speak next
I Wednesday on the subject, "How
Early Should Specialized Training
Commence."

Students walking through the cor
