was the only major obstacle in the

Classroom Cheating Not Fault of
Students, Says Professor Schramm
"Classroom cheating, m the ma

of the students," recently remarked
Professor E. F. Schramm, of the
Geology department, who finds
that students wbo are forced to
submit themselves to examinations,
too formal and too rigidly super
vised, find It a natural incentive
towards cheating whenever pos
sible. ' Cheating of this nature, he
stated further, "instills an inferior
ity complex in far too many of our
graduating students."
Professor senramm oauea mo
nnininn unnn studied experiences
in his own classrooms. Finding that
the average student m not natural

the last two years, been developing
a system of administering exam

Department.
General policies for the operation
of the University of Nebraska for
the coming two years were dis
cussed Saturday by the board of
regents of the institution. With
the appropriation bill passed only
Friday and with one member of
the board absent, menbers of the
board were unable to determinte
finally upon changes in general
policies.
Dr. J. E. A. Alexis, for a num
ber of years professor of romance
languages, was named chairman of
the Germanics languages depart
ment in place of Prof. Laurence
Fossler, deceased. The appoint
ment is effective at once.
Dr. Alexis joined the faculty of
the University of Nebraska in 1910
as instructor in Scandanavian and
German. In the next three years
he was named adjunct professor
and assistant professor respec
tively. In 1919 he was made as
sociate professor of modern lan
guages and in 1924 ne was pro
moted to professor of romance

FRANCES WYUE
TO SPEAK TUESDAY
Educator Win Tefl of Work
Of Rhodes Committee in
United States.
Sir Francis Wylie, who is sched
uled to seak at a convocation here
Tuesday, May 9, will discuss the
plan and workings of the Rhodes
scholarship committee in the
United States. His visit here is in
no way connected with the selec
tion of the Rhodes award recipi
ents this year.
This prominent educator is now
on a world tour following his re
tirement after twenty-five years as
secretary of the Rhodes Scholar
ship board of trustees at Oxford.
He will remain in Lincoln from
May 7 to 9 and goes then to Iowa
City. Ia. His stop here is a part
of his return trip to New York.
examination. In many cases, grades
are recorded irrespective of this
fact.
The system, as used by Profes
sor Schramm, is not a radical or
complicated change, yet quite no
ticeably different Under his plan,
regular examinations are sched
uled for the class as a whole, but
if the student feels that he is un
prepared, he will be granted more
time for preparation. If the stu
dent does take the examination
and feels that his mark is less than
he is capable of attaining, he will
be given another opportunity to
improve.
This instills an appreciation and
confidence beyond cheating, and
reduces the tmdesired "cramming"
to a minimum. The student may
ateo write an examination without
being under the influence of out
sida lorees, and his worth Is very
nearly gauged Dy the end of the
semester, consequently less im
portance need be given to "finals."
Tho hie classes are comprised
almost entirely of men students.
Professor Schramm feels that this
system could be universally ap
plied in all institutions of higher
learning. "The plan favors the
student rather than the instruc
tor." he concluded, "but perhaps
that is as it should be."

Election Will Be Postponed
Until Thursday Because
Of Extension.
Because no filings had be?ri
made for several positions to be
filled on the Student council at
the spring election when the
original deadline reached Friday
afternoon, the filings deadline has
been extended until Tuesday noon,
according to Phil Brownell, presi
dent of the Student council. This
extension also makes it necessary
to postpone the election until
Thursday May 11.
The events of the past week
pushed everything else into the
background, in the opinion of the
council president, and a number
of students who intended to file
were either too busy to make
their applications or else forgot
that the deadline was set for Fri
day. Small Number Files.
Such a small number of stu
dents have filed for the various
positions that in some cases their
will be no competition as only one
person has applied so far. In a
few other positions there are more
vacancies open than have been
filed for. Nine girls filed for repre
sentatives from the arts and
science college, but only one filed
from the school of fine arts. If
some of those who designated
themselves as students in the arts
and science college are in the
school of fine arts, they should
correct their applications before
Tuesday, Brownell said.
Following are the offices which
are to be filled at spring election
and the number. of filings which
have been -made for some of the
positions:
