Sfflron the left band ride of the folded paper.
Knowledge of the subject is a foremost re
nuifdte and certainly no InMnictor could en
trust this responsibility to one who ia lacking
this respect.
Then again the student haa a means of (he. k
ine the so called inconsistence displayed by
readers. If the student has any qu.-Htion on
any part of his examinations he ban the privl
We of consulting the professor himself and get
the matter "straightened out." Professor are
onlv too milling to assist students in any way
Which leads us to the next allegation about
professors' time beiug omipk-d in other pur
suits. The majority of the university educa
tors are rot "too busv" to allow students some
of their time. Nor are their alleged numerous
spare moment'7 devoted to such things as
golf, reading novels, or merely v. birling around
in a nice swivel chair beside a lovely, spotless
desk. . . .
As proof that the Nebraska profwsor does
not have this surplus amount of time to him
self we produce the figures furnished by the
chancellor's office and published In the news
columns of The Daily Nebraskan several days
past. According to the bulletin, the teaching
load of the faculty in the last ten years has
increased 61 percent.
"Last vear In one semester there were
clause, with a registration of fifty or more
student, seventy-four classes with a registra
tion of seventy-five or more students, and
twenty-lour classes with a registration of 100
or more student."
Imagine one man reading all the examina
lion papers from groups as large as indicated
above. Likewise, imagine a profWor with
such a teaching load going out every afternoon
for a taste of golf. Usitig that old hackneyed
but bandy expression, w e say ."it simply can't
le done."
But what does he do with all the time out
side of the regular class hours since be should
ned no time for preparation! you may in
quire. The average professor of today spends
this time in research and further study In his
particular line. The man who is vitally inter
ested in his work cannot help but do that, lie
want, to adrance his profession, he wants to
discover new facts, he wants to keen abreast
of the ever changing times in a word, he
wants to put his all in his life's cJHng.
Regarding the third and fourth poiut out
lined above, The Nebraskan is somewhat lean
ing In the same direction as F. E. S. that the
solution to the problem of reader, showing
"favoritism" which really is the only cause
for complaint in the present system -Is the
appointment of graduate and not undergrad
uates to the responsibility. Fortunately, the
tendency is toward this plan entirely. But

H. K.
The Reader System.
To the Kditor of The Nebraskan:
One of the evils of our university which ha
been allowed to go practically unchallenged is
the render system. This system need hardly
be explained at length It is merely the read
ing and correcting of papers by students who
have formerly taken the course, and who,
through a high grade slavishly obtained, a
friendship with the instructor, or, in some
cases, through acknowledged merit, have ob
tained this josition.
In some courses it mny be imperative that
someone other than the instructor read the
papers. Who among us would desire to keep
an Instructor from his golf that we might be
satisfied with the papers as they are returned
to us? However, if this system is to be em
ployed in soma of the departments of the uni
versity, why not make It a general panacea T
Is there good reason that It should not be
extended to the .oology department, where
there are hours and hour, of reading to be
done each quarter? Here, too. the youthful
pedants, friends, or genii (as the case might
be l could eke out their forty cents per hour
while the emancipated instructor gaily sliced
the little pellet about the greensward.
Kven here, in the gentle art of reading, poll
tics raises its ugly head. The supreme altruist
must needs summon all his optimism to be
lieve that 11. Jergcns Palfrey, member of
Alfalfa Chi and reader in herpetology, will al
low a mere lack of knowledge concerning ser
pentine anatomy to keep Hill Hwart (also of
Alfalfa Chi) from proceeding Into herp II.
(Great boy, Bill! Ought to make the varsity
next year.)
Nor does the political aspect of reading stop
here. Who is so far removed from student life
that he has not heard advocated the advisa
bility of "dating" one's reader?
Certainly, much dissatisfaction has been
caused b ythe reader system. If It 1 truly
the case that the Instructors have neither the
time nor the desire to handle the papers of
their classes, then others should be given the
task. Hut let It be others who have at least
obtained a degree; other who are not mere
students as we are ourselves. F. E. 8.

The Council a Decision?
To the Editor of The Nebraskan:
Panhellenic council .through its actions, is
supposed to be the guiding light for sorority
women it attempts to set standards and to find
satisfactory answers to questions which con
"ern sorority women. By reason of this leader
sliip, it influences actions of all university
women.
Is it right that a body which holds such
power within its hands disregard all accepted
parliamentary rules? Is it just that panhellenic
council be given credit, or discredit, for an
action which was never brought to an actual
vote in the meeting t
"If nobody has anything to say, the secre
tary may report panhellenic as favoring ."
Does that, in itself, constitute the attitude of
the council representatives? Is panhellenic be-..
ing fair to itself and to all university women
when it permits such proceedings?
Men have long felt their intellectual supe
riority to women. They have declared women
unfit to cope with the busins world and to
meet public- questions with au open mind and
a level head. Presumably, "the old order
changeth." Actually Nebraska men have cause
to say that very thing about university women
if one may judge their business ability by
their condit of a panhellenic council meet
