The Daily Nebraskan has in past weeks made an effort to convince college students on this campus that they should cut down on their ex penses in order to help out the folks at home who were struggling to send them thru sehool. The move was a laudable one, and a slight success was realized when orchestra and ball room prices were reduced. But now business is on the upgrade, men are being employed, the wheels of commerce are turning. We are told that we have no need to shout cut down ex penses as has been shouted in the past. Regardless of whether we have prosperity or not, there is one. point that is particularly noticeable during a time when money in gen eral is tied up. Savings had to be made some where along the line to keep bank accounts out of the red. On this campus we found students clamoring for a reduction in the price of orchestras and ballrooms. They pointed out the saving that could thus be effected, and how this saving would lessen the burden on the i it. . i - v. t. - j a : - ...

This type of saving the type that has to do with someone else making the sacrifice is the type that is desired. But no one wants any. thing to do with the saving that could be effected by cutting down on the small per sonal expenses that seem so trivial but which add up to a considerable sum every month. "When the Nebraskan advocated walking dates to parties, which involved giving up a little convenience in order to reduce expense, then the majority would rather not do it them selves, altho it looked like a mighty fine idea for someone else to carry out. This expense item is not the only one that could be cut down on easily. There are shows three or four times a week, cigarets, etc., that the student will pay for without a murmur, while overdue house accounts and laundry bills are fairly scream ing for lack of attention. When the move to cut down orchestra prices was started then everyone, except the orches tras, was quick to get behind the movement, -fiut when someone suggests that a considerable saving tould be made by cutting out a lot of little personal expenses, then the students will have nothing to do "with the matter. "When the house manager comes around to collect the account, he finds a good many of his customers professing bankruptcy, but as soon as it comes time to go to a show, then those who claim to be broke quickly find an extra fifty cents. And this condition is not confined to university students; it is common with the multitudes. THe$e Pont Season Game: Saturday afternoon the Cornhusker eleven will meet the Colorado Aggies at Denver in an intersectional charity tilt. The game will close the season for a tired Scarlet team. No titles are at stake and the only ones who will gain, if there is a gain, are the unemployed. Several of the charity tilts thus far this season have resulted in debacles of one kind or another. The Turkey Day contest between Holy Cross and Boston which was played as a benefit for the unemployed resulted in n deficit of some $21,01)0. About nil the benefit the unemployed get out of n game like that is hearing the score. It is not expected thnt the unemployed will have to make up the deficit. At Chicago last Saturday Northwestern breezed into Soldier's field the Big Ten cham pions and breezed out again as one of the three titleholders ns the result of a charity tilt. The Big Ten rulings specify that all post sea son tilts will count on the conference standings. However, Nebraska and Bible have nothing to gain and nothing to lose in the mix at Denver. They are going out to play, as some one has ably put it, for goodness sake. Per haps it is the love of the game, altho the tired Cornhuskers have said since the Pitt track meet that they were in no mood to play the game. Perhaps the unemployed will benefit. Who knows? Perhaps the squad will enjoy ihe trip. Who knows? Perhaps it will be a good game. Who knows?

Examinations seem to be a troublesome factor in university life. C. V. H. complains that exams as usually given and graded are not a fair method of tesling a student 's knowl edge and ability. But whether or not there is a remedy for the situation is doubtful. For' one thing, students should not look at grades the way they usually do. Perhaps grades are not proportioned according to the ability and actual knowledge of the students in the class, but if the student will consider that his own knowledge will be neither in creased nor decreased by his exam grade or his final grade, then he will not be so much concerned over the injustice of the grading system. We must admit that no exam can com pletely cover a course, and thus an injustice maybe done to those who happen to know everything except those few little items cov ered bv the exam. Besides this, readers do not always give due consideration to those j papers which contain something besides a j mere review of the facts stated by Ihe text j book. But if we must have examinations, we must be content to put up with the bad fea tures connected with Ahem. ren"d"o" the " TIMES y GERALD BARDO k- IJNITED STATES, brightened by the Thanksgiving uplrlt, seemed contraHt to troubled Manchuria during the holidays.

But by Saturday the Japanese army of ten thousand well equipped men was recalled. Also on Saturday the Japanese foreign office learned of some statements incorrectly attributed to Secretary of State Stlmson. They accused him of "losing his head" and "flying Into fulmina tions." Secretary Stlmson-immediately explained his attitude on the Manchurlan trouble. Japan now considers the matter closed and clarified. A tentative settlement for with drawal of troops has been made between Japan and Chang Hsueh Liang. governor of Manchuria, Chang Is to abandon Chinchow as the seat of his provincial govern ment. Japan is to relinquish the re cently occupied areas In southern Manhurla. These are two points of the tentatllvc five point agreement to be carried out by Dec. 15.

TO THE KDITOR : Altho inid-semestcr examinations have come and gone the grades that have been made still linger. Grades seem to be the important thing and the chief worry of the student. This leads to the question of what exam grades mean. Under the present system of education ex aminations are not fair and cannot be fair. A few questions cannot possibly cover the mate rial comprehensively. They will not give a ! student credit for any constructive thinking except in a very few eases. The student must be a sponge to get a grade in most of the courses offered in this school. All the material handed out by the instructor must be soaked up, and be on tap to be squeezed out by the pressure of the exam. If any foreign matter should appear, the instructor, or the reader, will immediately assume that 1he student is trying to bluff his way out. Their reasoning is this: The text material is not given, there fore it is not known and personal opinion is used to eke out the meager knowledge of the student. In a ease of this sort, the student has no chance at all. On the other hand another stu dent may soak up all the text has to say on the subject and have it at his fingertips. In an exam it can be given in detail, which makes a good impression on most instructors. Thnt per son may not have a single sound opinion on the subject, he may not be able to put to prac tical use a solitary fact from the mass he has collected, but he gets a good grade whilo the other poor student who knows what it is all about but gets a grade that barely passes him, he who really knows the subject matter and can use what he knows.
