INTELLECTUAL HONESTY.
yo ISK really educated, a person rourt fulfill two
definite requirements. He muKt be Intellectually
honest-able to do his ot thinking. He roust be
mm ally caurajeous willing to cany out bis con
MctioriK. to accept and meet challenges wblch he
confronU botb in the university anJ in l:r Ufa.
The importance of these requisites m empha
sized by Dr. William Oxley Thompson. prfhMent
emehtuk t-t Ohio Stat university, in a convocation
sJire at the Temple ThursJay morning. Unfor
tunately orly about 3M) MuJenta out of 6..VK) found
it convenient to hear Dr. Thompson.
Hi analysU and definition of an education
rlressrd an angle seldom considered by students tn
their ma i rush to absorb aa quickly pos.sible the
material that heterogenous courses ofier to them.
Kor an education, according to Dr. Thompson s way
of thinking, is far more than collecting, assimilating
and otg-anirinfr a mass of facts.
Tho days when a college graduate was supposed
to have learned everything worth knowing is past.
And while the new era of education demands spe
cialization, It demands something more. It insists
that every man and woman must be willing to face
an issue squarely, to think it out for themselves, and
then to follow fearlessly the convictions which they
have arrived at through individual thinking.
Dr. Thompson believes that It is well to have a
definite set of requirements every student must meet
oefore be is given a degree. Requirements are good
nt because they give the student concrete knowl
edge that he some day may be called upon to use.
but because they give him a definite course to fol
low, certain obstacles to overcome, a challenge to
meet, a prescribed path to follow. The challenge
that Is thrust out to every student through these
requirements should be enough to spur him on to
graduation and his goal.
JTVADIN'G thinking for oneself Dr. Thompson
branded as intellectual dishonesty. Too many
students set up false standards as to cribbing. They
are perfectly willing to assume a puritanic attitude
when it oomes to cheating in the classrooms and at
examinations, but once outside they will employ the
easiest shortcuts to obtain factual knowledge. For
expediency such methods are all right, but for an
education a student must take the hard way.
Tn life there are few shortcuts to success.
Achievement comes mainly through hard labor.
Kvcn exceptionally gifted men and women turn out
to be failures if they do not apply themselves con
scientiously to learn the myriad intricate technical
ities in their respective fields. Impossible to teach
these inner phsses of any line of work whether it
be professional or industrial, a university seeks pri
marily to teach its students to think correctly.
Few people today have lenrned the art of think
ing for themselves. But it is those few who lead
the world.
Thus the problem of getting an education is not
an easy one. It involves far more than facts dis
pensed in the classrr-:n. It requires students to de
velop a spirit of individual thinking which is mos
valuable when it is augmented with dominant cour
age to push forward and upward.

di column nit n may rv uart u n'Bumi an
opea air amphitheater between the north end of the
Stadium and the CVhaeum bunga to public con
clouaneas the tremendous need of a campus beauti
ficatloa program.
For years university lobbyists have pleaded with
the state legislature to appropriate more money for I cinp
professors Mlaries, for new buildings and for ex
pansion of the curriculum. But the lawmakers,
jealous guards of Xebtaaka'a treasury, have not
been willing to dole out more thaa 19 cents of every
state tax dollar to the university. In view of more
Imperative and Immediate needs, little of the bien
nial appropriation has been expended toward beauti
fying the campus.
That la unfoitunate. It la a univenuty s duly to
present a beautiful campus Just aa It Is its duty to
present a worthwhile curriculum and to offer In
structors able to stimulate Ita students. While the
c .r. : caa be coerced to tower above the squalor of
phyical surrounding if need be. a beautiful campus
Is conducive to a finer appreciation of art and other
worthwhile things that a university offers.
N ABILITY of forefathers to foresee the tremen
dous strides this Institution has made in Its sixty
one years of existence has turned the campus Into
an emporium of poorly arranged architectural odd
itiea which have sprung up hither and yon. prod
ucts of growth by accretion rather than intussus
ception. Thus students wander from a decapitated Uni
versity hall, held together with braces and bolts, to
the Annex, a shanty beyond the spacious beauty of
Social Science. Perhaps privileged students at
tending a state supported school should not expect
an agricultural constituency of hardworking taxpay
ers to donate large sums of money that the univer
sity might be made a more beautiful place, but It is
something to strive for.
It Is important that a university portray In ex
terior beauty what It aelks to Implant in the minds
and souls of Its students. One of the most worth
while causes for friends of the University of Ne
braska to direct their efforts toward rises in the
form of a campus beautificatlon program.
Giving students a beautiful home in the shape
of a well planned physical plant at the slate univer
sity will do much to encourage education while stuf
fing learning down their throats In an Ill-ventilated,
poorly lighted basement recess in University hall,
sometimes serves aa a deterrent.

CONTAGIOUS POLITICS.
JJOT SATISFIED with the exciting skirimishes at
regular student elections, campus politicians have
wormed their doctrines into nearly eevry organiza
tion. The placing of party affiliation before pe:
sonal ability is evident in elections in classes, clubs,
societies arid professional fraternities.
On the face of things, politics is a harmless
form of collegiate activity at Nebraska. Under this
innocent exterior, however, the system is growing
into a destructive weapon. It is working insidiously
against the bests interests of the university.
Every organization, the membership in which
is founded upon personal and party factionalism,
must admit the decline in quality which politics has
caused. Take the deceased Awgwan for example.
JN THE BEGINNING, Nebraska had a successful
and worthy humor magazine. Gradually, how
ever, politicians recognized the possibilities of ex
pressing party power through this medium. From
that time on, the positions of editor and business
manager, as well as minor staff jobs, were dished
out to a few fraternities.
At times a student with ability, despite 'wrong"
fraternity connections, managed to squirm up to the
top through the maze of political alliances and coali
tions. Sometimes the politically favored person was
qualified to handle his position. Yet the results
were fatal to the Awgwan.
Not in one semester, but over a period of years,
politics worked their destructive potions on the
humor magazine. Tainted, energetic youths were
discouraged by the knowledge that their particular
fraternity affiliations, or lack of any at all. blocked
their way to the top. They ceased their work,
disgusted.
yAGNIFTED each year, the situation finally re
sulted in the discontinuance of the Awgwan
and the removal of an established activity. Petty
ANOTHER VIEW ON PROBATION.
To the editor:
A great deal of discussion is going on now among
fraternity men regarding Interpretations of the anti
probation rule of the Interfraternity council. Pro
fessor Schramm makes it very plain that the coun
cil means business whe he says- "Abaolutely no
substitutions for probation practices are recognized
by the Interfraternity council of the University of
Nebraska."
That statement calls to my mind a discussion
which took place at the council meeting at which
probation week was abolished. At the meeting a
representative of one of the fraternities on the cam
pus raised the question of how the council would
consider a fraternity conducting a "work week."
He went on to explain that his fraternity required
the Lincoln pledges to move into the house for a
certain period and all the pledges were required to
do an unusual amount of work around the house.
The question was directed at Professor Schramm.
He replied that he did not think it within the prov
ince of the council to regulate anything like that.
The council, he said, was merely doing away with
the horseplay of probation week.
The Interfraternity council abolished probation
week with that understanding. The representatives
did not intend that their fraternities should surren
der their reasonable disciplinary power over their
pledges.
Certainly fraternities should not violate the spirit
of the rule. But the spirit of the rule is to do away
with rough tactics and horseplay. The council should
interpret the rule in that light. K. J. R.
WHY NOT?
The sight of those dear old Awgwans for sale
at Long's for five cents fairly made a tear come to
my eye.
Darn it all. a few spicy jokes in a few printed
pages won't make anyone go wiong unless they
belong to the feeble-minded institute a few miles
away. A magazine is written for the average or
majority, and the average will read it through once,
maybe twice, laugh and crack wise then put it
aside; t.h( jokes vague or forgotten a few days later.
Why do away with some momentary pleasure to
the majority?
It is only the abnormal mind that absorbs
wrong things and they ii get it somewhere. Why
deprive good, clean, healthy students a few harm
less laughs?
Conceded that the last issue was a little swift,
I read it through once, put it aside, but reread it
immediately after hearing that it had been cen
sored. Upon looking I found more "soot" than I
had noticed at first, and as far as I could see I
found that it was only the quantity and not the
quality that was, perhaps, repellent. I also noticed
that the worst ones were exchanges from other
reputable college magazines. Why should the "dic
tating few" be so very anxious to save our so-called
morals when other schools haven't seemed to go to
the dogs on greater quantities of the same sort of
material ?
We are pretty good specimens of young men
and women if we do not know what Is good for us
and what is not.
In high school while our ideas are being formu
lated Ejore or less, I can understand the censoring
of material, but we in college have already formed
out standards and morals and It seems an insult to
our intelligence and morals for the "higher ups" to
feel that they should dictate what we should or
should not read. E. D. T.
NON GREEK HEAD
DECRIES MORTAR
BOARD S ATTACK
(Continued from Tag. 1.)
least six candidates for Mortar
Hoard had to be designated on the
ballot or the entire vote would be
lctft
This was certainly a direct
handicap lo the barbs as they bad
not the same opportunity to know
'representative' girls aa did the
Greeks," he pointed out. "and a
a result the barbs' ballots would
be automatically invalidated."
Leader Is Surprised.
The Mortar Board's expression
of hope in her statement published
in The Nebraskan Thursday ibat
the May Queen would "not be the
product of a queered election" was
a surprise to the non organisation
leader.
"It seems to me when the elec
tion Is conducted by the Mortar
Boards themselves without even
anv faculty supervision at the
poils that the election Itself would
not nave 10 oe questioned, vu
liams remonstrated. "With every
Mortar Board a potential candi
date for May Queen and many by
rnmmsn knowledge known to be
such. It would seem that every ef
fort would be put forth to have
the balloting on the square.
"It is true, of course, as inti
mated tn the article that several
sororities have banded together
into a little political clique to fur
ther their own candidates. But to
say that I am at the bottom of all
this or that I tried to do the bar
gaining is entirely fallacious."
Sororities have ever considered
it a political affair, be declares,
and as proof for his statement he
cites the following cases of the
"you vote for us, we'll vote for
you" game:
Cites Cases.
"Last year one sorority solicited
the support of the barb faction for
its (the sorority's) candidate for
Mortar Board and another sorority
asked the barb candidate for May
queen to secure barb support for
the sorority's candidate for Mortar
Board in return for their support
of the barb.
"This year I was confronted by
a sorority with the proposition
that if the barbs would support
the sorority candidate for Mortar
Board, we would receive in return
the hacking for three barbs also
for Mortar Boards. Aside from
that I know that nominations were
held in many sorority houses
mostly where there were Mortar
Boards and that they were seek
ing coalitions with other sorori
ties." That he drew up a slate by him
self, as was brought out in the
article signed by "Mortar Board,"
without the consent or co-operation
of the barb council Is denied
by Williams. In the words of their
leader, the barbs, as a council, had
nothing to do with the election, but
rather it was another group of
representative barb men and
women who drew up the slate and
who sponsored the movement.
Denies Accusation.

who it was who told the Mortar
Boards that I did the whole busi
ness without the hacking of the
barbs," Williams went on.
In rebuttal to the interpretation
given in The Nebraskan's editorial
of his work on the campus that
"he has demonstrated that his in
terests have been warped so that
he considers first his barb allies,
and, second, the welfai of the
university," the defendant fur
nishes the following:

activities during the past few
years is proof sufficient that we
