Who Wants
To Cut Expenses?
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 : - ...

which to support themselves, send the children
to school, and meet the increasing demands of
charity.
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?

Exams Have
Bad Features.
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.

during the holidays. In cold winter

a time as if Japan intended to
crush the Chinese' last stand in
Manchuria at Chlnehow. 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

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

Manhurla. These are two points of
the tentatllvc five point agreement

United States on disarmament. An

said at the same same meeting,
"the spirit must prevail over the

MORNING MAIL
Examinations.
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.
