Ours to Question Why?
Students have filed a large number of gripes (consider
ing the time we've been back) in this office concerning the
lengthly and complex exam schedule. These aren't gripes
in the true sense of the word and might better be referred
to as appeals.
If they are regarded with the deaf ear that is custom
arily turned to such student pleas, this or any other printed
matter will be of little consequence. However, this paper
remains primarily the medium of student expression and
consequently we reter this editorial to the administration
on behalf of the student body for whom we speak.
First, foremost and voiced loudest is the complaint
against starting exams the day following the termination of
regular class sessions of all courses. According to the
schedule, students will be attending classes until January
Z and beginning tinals at 9 a. m. the following morning.
Due to the fact that we are fresh out of "Dear Dr. Anthony,
we have a problem" lines, let's say "Dear Dr. Rosenlof, how
about a break?" (This can, and we hope will, be taken two
ways?)
New that we're broken, comes the second objection to
the "mangnus dictum." To those who are responsible for
the construction of the black document we ask: Why
schedule finals for classes held at 10, 11, and 1 o'clock on
Mon., Wed. and Fit, and 11 o'clock on Tues. and Thurs.,, the
first two days of exam week, considering that the largest
percentage of students have classes at these hours and will
consequently be swamped? Without too much strain on
one 's imagination it is easy to see that many are going to
be taking four finals on those dark and. unhappy days. A
little closer scrutiny of the final product by its' originators
is certainly very little to ask.
The strain that rests on a student's shoulders is enough
without any assistance of this sort that will build a deafeat
ist complex within him before he ever enters the exam
rooms. This objection reverts to the aforementioned one
concerning the starting date, which definitely means an
all-nights study job in order to sufficiently cover the ma
terial in all the courses.
Needless to say, there are numerous other objections
to rinai exams (such as, why they are necessary?) but we
leel those aired herein are not petty and do have magnitude
Undoubtedly nothing will be done but the students, never
theless, have issued this plea for consideration. D. N.

Give Memorial
Scholarships
Contributions of $2,000 have
been made to the University
Foundation for the establishment
of the Marie Talbot Stuart Me
moriai scholarships, in memory
of their mother, by Charles T. and
James Stuart, Perry W. Branch,
Foundation director, has an
nounced.
Used to provide scholarships for
women students in the college of
agriculture who have completed
one academic year and need fi
nancial aid, the contribution was
made with an additional $500 for
the Charles Stuart Memorial
scholarships, which aids men stu
dents in Ag college, and was in
augurated in 1943 in honor of the
late Charles Stuart.
This last $500 brings the total
contributed to the fund to $10,000,

Joan Fontaine has so many
changes of costume in Para
mount's "The Emperor Waltz"
that Edith Head, the studio de
signer, had to -create a com
plete wardrobe of the period, or
1901. "It was like designing for
another world," Miss Head recalls.
BY NORM LEGER.
We like Lincoln, despite the
limitations set upon it in keeping
with the title it bears so proudly,
"The holy city," the snobbery of
the aristocrocy that receives full
society page splashes each time
its exclusive and opulent mem
bers throw a country club party
or manage to marry off one of
their daughters, and the audiences
at local movies who persistently
fail to catch satire or any other
really subtle forms of humor, rare
as they are in most movies.
But there is one thing: about the
fair city that Incites us to throw
a corsage of smelling- cabbages in
the collective face of the nopulus
that is the sort of sportsmanship
the Lincoln people exhibit when
they attend the University basket
ball games.
A few weeks back an editorial
admonished the student body re
sponsible for the booing of the
refs and oft-heard Bronx cheers
that have been, of course, com
pletely out of line. Then come the
Minnesota game when the ma
jority of the student body was
home enjoying a two-week Christ
mas vacation.
It didn't take us long to see
that the exhibition of poor audi
ence sportsmanship, at. previous
games could not be "accredited"
to the U N students, and our re
spect for the intelligence of col
lege students was restored.
With the students gone, the Lin
coln crowd was wont to do just
as it pleased, so not only did they
boo in their ignorant and dis
graceful way, but they also took
fancy in throwing apple cores at
the refs. One man, lacking an
apple core, made use of his hat
to the delight of other childish
adults.
So Lincoln, take a bow, and
let us say that the sportsmanship
that you exhibit at UN basket
ball games stinks, and even
though your financial support may
be appreciated in other depart
ments we would be just as happy
if you would stay at home and
lisen to the broadcasts of the
games. Then you wouldn't be
compelled to do the refs job for
him, and even if you did suspect
that a decision was completely
wrong according to your unim
peachable judgment you could
throw a brick at the radio, and
the expense would be yours and
not that of the university's repu
tation. In contrast to what we would
like to believe we know that
there are students who have
behaved as the Lincolnites, and to
you let us say that the next time
you re voicing loud boos and
tossing apple cores at the game
when you think the ref has called
a bum decision try to muster just
a little intelligence to realize that
the ref is calling them as he sees
them, that he is in a better posi
tion than you to see them, that
refereeing is his professional work
for which he is qualified, and that
if he does err it is because he is
only human, so, brother, KEEP
YOUR BIG MOUTH SHUT!
