PETITIONS FROM BASEBALL ANS Cribbina Durina Exams Is Symptom of Common Disease, "Cribbing on the part of college' students is a sympton of a disease which afflicts people in all walks of life," said Dr. C. H. Patterson of the philosophy department in a talk at a joint meetiDg of two Y. M C. A. groups, the Freshman council and the Engineer's Huddle, which was held in the Temple building, Wednesday evening. "The disease is none other than that of a self -centered life, in other words, an attempt to get something for nothlcg or t gt out of life more than is put into it." "The business man who tries to accumulate a fortune by putting something over on the public, the lawyer who charges as much as he thinks he can get by with, the doc tor who thinks more of himself than he does the welfare of his pa tients, the politician who seeks of fice to advance his own personal Services of Lincoln Be Held Sunday University of Lincoln churchy will co-cperate with the Univeroity of Nebraska next Sunday, Nov. in holding the annual All UnivcrHlty Church day.

DEFICIT OVER MILLION Declaring that warrants may have to be registered by the state for payments from the general fund, Deputy State Auditor Harry Parsons issued a warning Wednes day that expenditures from the fund must be cut down. Such war rants which are issued in lieu of cash payments bear interest and are payable by the state as soon a; the general fund is re-established. University professors as state employes would be subject to pay ment in such manner in all prob ability, according to Chancellor Burnett. The possibility of such a state of affairs was minimized, however, by the chancellor, who declared that since the legislature ia to meet in such a short time, measures would likely be taken for meeting the emergency. Even if such warrants were is sued in payment, before the legis lature meets, the chancellor said, in all probability they would be paid uo in a short time after the legislature had met. Have Been Issued in Past. j Warrants have been issued in times past to pay state employes, at one time such warrants only be ing received by banks at a dis count. Parsons declared that the pres ent or "term deficit" in the gen eral fund amounts to 51,610,077.17, based on the difference between re ceipts of the general fund, mostly tax collections, and expenditures for the period July 1931 to Nov. 1 of this year. Explaining details of the audi tor's report. Parsons pointed out that the balance at the beginning of the biennium was $2,103,665.22. Deducting $1,610,077.17 leaves a balance of $493,489:05.

Says Dr. Patterson, interests, or the teacher who is in terested in hia salary rather in the development of the mental powers of his students all these are af flicted with the same disease as the college student who tries to get credit for something that he does not deserve. And they all try to justify themselves by saying "everyone else does it, so why shouldn t IT as mo any voice might become a virtue if only enourh people wouia do it! "The remedy for this disease lies not alone in making it difficult for the individual to get by, altho pro hibitive regulations doubtless help a great deal. But to get at the root of the trouble it is necessary to go deeper, wot unui individuals be come socially minded instead of self -centered will they cease trying to get from society more than they rightfully deserve," Dr. Patterson concluded.

Charles Gray, socialist, was the first speaker recognized by John Gepson, who presided as chairman. He eave a very pointed talk in which he did not stick to any set procedure, delving immediately into the heart of the issues being debated at the present time. The second representative, who presented the democratic side of the discussion, was Howard Holtz endorf. After calling attention to the fact that prohibition was not an issue in the present campaign, he proceeded to criticize the gen eral farm board. "Farm Board Success." Ignoring the socialist party and stating it has no place in the pres ent campaign, Charles Steadman confined his address principally to the protective tariff, pointing out that a high protective tariff is in dispensable for the good or tne country. His final statement was that the farm board has been a success which assertion immedi ately started a lively discussion, (Continued on Page 2.)

AFFECTS OLDER PEOPLE That the various newspaper straw vote polls, including the Lit erary Direst coll. show more ac curately the trend of the ideas of the citizens than do those staged by universities was expressed by J. P. Senning, chairman of the Po litical science department. "This," he said, "is due to the fact that the students voted on an ideal standard. They think abstracted ly, while the older people vote ac cording to tne way uaeir mmeui- ate interests are affected by polit ical conditions. That is, they think in the concrete. When the students actually become affected by the immediate results of the election then they will also think in the concrete. "Also many students vote as their father votes. They are per haps voting for the first time for a president and many are partici pating in the poll who do not have the right to vote in the regular election. This is probably the rea son why there is a difference in the results of the university and other polls." As to tne cnances oi jcuy.c changing their minds immediately before the election, Mr. Senning said, "It ia my own beiiei mat me great amount of energy that has been made by political parties in campaigning has had very little effect in changing the minds of tne people in their intentions to vote. The vote next iucioj many people is more in the nature of a protest vote rather than a vote for a candidate and those who desire to nrotest have made up their minds long ago any igu ment is ineffective. Otherwise it would be hard to explain the re sults of the straw votes. "I believe that the largest vote that has ever been cast will be cast this year. This is due to tne iaci that the 'economic pinch' is so acute that people find their only hope through ballot" According to Mr. oeuums. results of the universities puna will not affect the opinions of peo ple out of school in any way due to the difference in opm'"" Dr. Fordyce Addresses Boy Leadership lroup Dr. Charles Fordyce, instructor f xivrhninrv ar.d eaucauuu, ennlrs rn "Thl Nature O Boy" before the class in princi ples of boy leadership which met at the Lincoln nign .,,.n,nir This was the first meeting of' the school training school in boy leadership, for which more than 100 men uac . -altered.
