Roosevelt Opened
A New Frontier.
The Nflirnskan reprints the foll.nvinp: in
terpretation of the now treinl ol' the Uniloil
States in world affairs wliieh was pointed by
the President in his now (anions Chicago ad
dress front the October Chronicle of. World Af
fairs published by the League of Nations association.
in the building of n society of nations. Man
advances on the social frontier, then sometimes
retreats temporarily, but never permanently,
and then again advances. Wood row Wilson
opened a new frontier of human relations in
!MS ; there was temporary retreat until Nansen
and Briund carried his banner further; within
the past, few years there has been retreat from
the outpost of Briand; but now KooNeve.lt and
Hull, cooperating with the League of Nations,
win new ground on the frontier of world society.
SUMMARY.
1. The world has changed from anarchy
to a community in the space of twenty years.
2. The United States policy of isolation
is dead. This country would be infected by
an epidemic of international lawlessness,
3. Roosevelt would quarantine the suf
ferers from the disease of lawlessness. Iso
lationists would quarantine healthy citizens.
4. Progress has been made toward a
community of nations.
By Clark M. Eichelberger.
"I am compelled, and you arc compelled,
nevertheless, to look ahead. The peace, the
freedom and Ihe security of ninety percent of
the population of the world is being jeopar
dized by the remaining ten percent, who are
threatening a breakdown of all international
law and order. Surely the ninety percent who
want to live in peace under law and in accord
ance with moral standards which have received
almost universal acceptance through the cen
turies, can and must find some way to make
their will prevail."
President Roosevelt in these sentences de
livered as part of bis Chicago address states the
fundamental thesis of all human society. Peo
ple who wish to live under moral law can and
must find the strength, the wisdom and ma
chinery to make this moral will prevail. It is
the problem which faces men whenever they
wish to emerge from the forests of violence and
enter the frontiers of law and order. It is the
problem which faced our forefathers at the con
stitutional convention. It confronted the forty
niners who witnessed their new settlement of
San Francisco burned to the ground by law less
elements four times in the first six years of its
existence.
Our generation is part of the greatest so
cial adventure of all history establishing the
processes of community life between all na
tions. The frontier problems of San Francisco
are magnified to the size of the earth. The
spirit of helpfulness, restraint, social responsi
bility and good neighbor turn are being devel
oped among all nations.
These isolationists, if which, unfortunately,
there are a few in the peace movement, who try
to see a parallel between the trend towards war
in 1916-17, and the trends toward world social
organization in 117, do not understand that
the world has changed from anarchy to a com
munity in that space of twenty years. In 1 9 1 G
war was the accepted method for the settlement
of disputes, There was no law against it. There
existed no machinery for finding facts; no ma
chinery for peaceful settlement and determin
ing the aggressor. Today war is a violation of
solemn obligations accepted by all civilized na
tions. Today, as was just demonstrated by the
League of Nations assembly, the facts of ag
gression can be determined and agreed upon
by over fifty nations, including our own gov
ernment in cooperation.
Another parallel with community life was
used by the president at Chicago when he said:
"It seems to be unfortunately true that
the epidemic of world lawlessness is spreading.
"When an epidemic of physical disease
starts to spread, the community approves and
joins in a quarantine of the patients in order to
protect the health of the community against the
spread of disease."
The president spoke of quarantining the
patients, not the healthy citizens. The isola
tionists would quarantine the ninety percent of
the people who want peace, and permit the ten
percent suffering from t lie disease of lawless
ness to have the run of the community.
The companion task to the insistence of
peace the establishment of justice was also
recognized by President Roosevelt when he
said:
"It is true that the moral consciousness of
the world must recognize the importance of
removing injustices and well founded grievan
ces. . ."
, From the report of the Lytton Commission
on Manchuria to that of the committee on raw
materials, the nations have been feeling their
way to an adjustment of basic economic prob
lems. Consequently, President Roosevelt in his
Chicago address, Secretary Hull in his state
ment of principles of July 1G, and the support
which our state department has given to the
League of Nations in its handling of the far
eastern crisis, have penetrated a new frontier

How Are You Doing
On Six Wrcks Exams?
The honor system of examinations has
come in for a good deal of discussion on other
campuses during the last month. Some univer
sities have found this system advisable from the
standpoint of the student as well as the institu
tion. Others have deemed it theoretically or
practically inadvisable.
The Intercollegiate Press has gathered
some facts on the popularity and efficacy of
the honor system and on the kind of student
who cheats.
The "On Your Honor'' slogan is most
often found in law schools where it is believed
that students should be above the watchdog
method of taking tests. The Intercollegiate
press states, however, that these schools are not
sufficiently optimistic to believe that the honor
system encourages conscientious and sincere ef
fort. Latest reports from universities thruout.
the country indicate that there is still much de
bate on the subject of cheating in exams. Stu
dents at the I'niversity of California evidently
prefer not to be twisted at examination time. A
poll taken by the campus paper showed twice
as many students were opposed to the present
honor system as were for it.
At the University of Oklahoma students
have been debating the question iis to whether
the person who cheats in self-defense is justi
fied. A university in Missouri operates on the
honor system. If one student sees another
student cheating, he stands up and announces
it to the class.
Harvard university has solved its "crib
bing problem by seating students one seat
apart tliir'mjr exams and having monitors sta
tioned in classrooms while students are taking
exams. If a student, leaves the room at all dur
ing the quiz, a monitor accompanies him.
Who yields to dishonesty in college? Here
are the answers of Dr. Frank W. Parr, profes
sor of secondary education at Oregon State Col
lege: "Men cheat more often than women, per
haps because women rank higher in intelli
gence. The older the students, the more they
cheat. Fraternity men and sorority women
cheat more often than students who do not be
long to houses. Students of Scandinavian de
scent are far more honest than representatives
of any other nation. Students depending wholly
on their parents for financial support are fur
more honest than self-supporting students."
Cheating is done because the student feels
thiii he must make a good competitive showing,
A system of education ignoring competition
and placing its emphasis upon the development
of the power of independent thinking appears
tr be the solution to this problem, according to
Dr. Parr.

I have, for a change, read one of
('tutorials,
to a certain statement which
tor a change, read one ot your
and hereby wish to take exception
vou have made
regarding the dancing of students here.
You have been throwing some rather in
spiring adjectives at the quahtv, quantity
and variety of liveliness exhibited by students
at some of the dances. That's not our fault,
'Reputable' dancing schools here are still
teaching only the standard, waltzes, fox trots,
etc., so that the only place to learn what you
call the 'wholesome departure' from said steps
is on the open dance floor. Now you must
agree that this may work some little hardship
on the less forward type of student, as well as
those not blessed (?) with helpful frat broth
ers. Why can't some of the dancing teachers
teach at least the rudiments of swingful
rythm to those who would indulge Though
it may not be so highly 'respectable,' yet one
must admit that there is certainly a growing
demand for instruction of this type; and after
all, what determines the amount of toleration
something new receives, more than public
opinion 1
And whilo we're at it, why don't the mali
ngers of the campus dances provide at least a
little of the more restful musio for those who
are either uninformed or not athletically in
clined. Skidder.
Dad's Duy was a Rood idea--but
it foil thru like a lot of other
good things around here.
Wc are down here spending
Dad's money, to a gteatcr or leaser
extent; he has Hlmo.it no way of
knowing how wo ure upending that
money, or whut la more Important,
our timo.
So, 11 was fitting that a day
should be wet aside when Dad could
be honored, nnd perhaps mad? to
feel thut we think of him as some
one beyond a mere writer of
checks and the major doler-out-of-shekels.
Too bad we didn't do It.
"If, however, your fatner had
come down here, wnat would you
have wanted him to see?" writ
ten in the present tcn.se, the stu
dent comment shows the things
that they would have wanted their
fathers to see and to remember.
Dud is lather fur removed from
aft airs on the campus. It is true
that he Is the man behind the
gun, for, bucking up practically
ivory campus big shot, is the man
with the bank account. He has
come to be regarded as a glorified
bank roll, and perhaps not very
glorified at that.
So it is both fitting end proper
that we set aside such a day as
tomorrow will he, to at least show
our Dads that we remember them
In some other capacity other than
as the doler out of shekels.
We asked the students about the
phase of university life which they
would like best to show their
fathers when they are in Lincoln
the things that they would really
want mom to visit.
Ervln Boettner, Bizad Junior:
I'll try to show him that we're
renlly getting somewhere here
iimi a university ciiucntion is
worth the time and money which
are being spent --hut I don't J'ist
Know mw i wonai go about till
ing it.
"After all, he docs want to know
how the university functions, what
the students do, and how wc do it
So many people ouslde of college
feel that we just come here to
have a good time and waste some
of our father's money. A few visits
here by interested parents would
help a lot to combat that Idea.
Donald Robinson, Arts and Scl
ences senior:
"I'd want him to see the schol
astie side of life hero, ns the sport
angle Is already familiar to al
most everyone.
"I d like to take him Into class
"and show him how wo recite, or
don't. This university is a tax
supported institution. The parents
or students represent a cross-section
of the tax payers of the state.
The only way they have of know
ing now things work down hrre
is through personal observance.
"Besides, the only ivflv we ll ever
get improvements down here is by
letting tho public know how
things aie.
'The scholastic side of school
has never been emphasized enough
so far, athletics have had the spot
light."
Catherine Richardson, Bizad freih-
man:
"I want him to see the football
game It would be niost interest
ing for him to see how the stu
dents down here play. Then, I
want him lo meet some of my pro
feasors and see the general type
or work which I m doing here."
Frank Bishop, Arts and Sciences
senior:
"I think the sports side of
school would be more interesting
for him and consequently much
more successful. I'd want him to
see the game, the coliseum, the
trophy room, and all the awards
which Nebraska athletic teams
have won.
"Not that T would he more In
terested in athlelies myself, but
for someone who Is here only for
a r'hort time, they are really more
interesting. It's about the only
field down here into which you
wouldn't have to go so deep to ex
plain what It's all about."
Earl Anderson, Graduate college:
"I'd want him to see all the
campus, its buildings and grounds,
and the library. Then, I'd intro
duce him to some of my instructors
Hnd show him the kind of work
that I'm doing."
Alan Parker, Art and Sciences
senior: :
"Although the football game will
probably be the most interesting
thing about the university on Sat
urday, I want him to see the uni
vetsity buildings and show him
the need for better classroom fa
cilities. "There has been a lot of com
ment about the condition of build
ings on this campus the only
way to build up a university-conscious
puplic opinion is to talk it
up, among the parents."
Ruth Thygeson, Arts and Sciences
senior:
"He's been here often, and the
thing that he has enjoyed the
most is the luncheon. He gets a
big kick from seeing all the young
