Howard Asks Drastic
Action on
"It's unfortunate that from the
number of students who cheated
on final exams, only seven were
caught. Many more are guilty."
Ruz Howard, Student Council
president, told The Daily Nc
braskan Tuesday that "some
thing drastic must be done" to
curtail widespread campus cheat
ing. Strict Trial
Howard, referring to seven
men students suspended from
school during final period for
cheating, said the "seven should
not be made examples." They
should be tried strictly on their
supposed violations, the Council
president commented.
"However," said Howard, "if
they are let off easily, it will be
the single greatest encourage
ment for cheating."
He termed "a fine thing" any
steps to do away with cheating,
calling for student and faculty
co-operation to look into the
whole problem in the best inter
ests of the University.
"The situation contains suffici
ent gravity to merit a complete
investigation," emphasized the
leader of the student governing
body.
Howard urged all students to
attend the Council's meeting
Wednesday from 4-6 p. m. in the
Union, to express their opinions
on the whole issue of finals,
grades and cheating.
Council is Liason
"One of the fundamental du
ties of the Council is to act as
a communicating body between
students and faculty," said
Hov aid. "It is important that
students take advantage of this
right to be heard if they want
recognition."
The Council president had
some personal ideas on the finals
practice, calling for more "open
book" exams, lie said "cribs" are
actually "good practice" in con
densing a course, adding that, in

Stan Kenton's NU Concert
Will Feature June Christy
Nebraska devotees of modern
music will be offered a chance w
see one of the maestros in action
when Stan Kenton presents his
"Innovations in Modern Music
for 1950" at the Coliseum, at 8
p. m. Wednesday, Feb. 22.
The exclusive appearance of
Kenton's new band is being
sponsored by the Onion as a
service to University students
an Nebraska residents.
Kenton's concert has been
planned as an outside appearance
of his tour. He will stop at Lin
coln for the concert while en
route to New York, where he
will begin a tour of more than
70 cities with his show.
Kenton's Experience
In less than a decade, Kenton,
who was an obscure piano player
around Los Angeled, up until the
formation of his original band in
the early forties, has grown in
prominence. At present the en

Cheating
a sense, "cribs" will be available
in the business world in the
form of easily accessible infor
mation. Howard said Nebraska stu
dents may have a wrong con
cept of the "buddy" attitude. He
asked for encouragement of a
friend "before" an exam and "not
during" an exam.
"It is my hope," said Howard,
"that in the future student gov
ernment of this University there
will be a student curricular com
mittee to investigate such prob
lems as the current cheating situ
ation." The committee as envisaged by
Howard could also act on such
problems as scholarship, teaching
grading, need for courses, exam
periods, final exams, grading and
vacations.
Study Habits
Lab to Open
The reading and study habits
laboratory, operated by the Uni
versity Junior Division and
Counseling service, will hold
second semester sessions for any
students who are in need of as
sistance in improving their read
ing and study habits.
Interested students should go
to the Junior Division office,
Temporary Building A for con
ferences with W. W. Reed at any
of the following times: Wednes
day, Feb. 1, from 3 to 5 p. m. A
brief preliminary conference is
necessary and important before
entering the training course.
The remedial work in reading
and studying will begin during
the week of Feb. 6. There will
be nine two-hour sessions, which
will be completed before spring
vacation.
The purpose of the reading
and study habits work is to give
to students the opportunity to
overcome certain handicaps that
may prevent them from reach
ing the level of achievement in
University studies of which they
are capable.
The work is carried out
through group and individual
activities.

Cites Work
Of 4-H Leaders
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson
told 300 state 4-H club leaders
Saturday evening that they have
one of the greatest opportunities
for teaching and guidance that
the state has offered. He
addressed the group at the an
nual leaders' banquet completing
their three-day training session
at Ag College.
"We are living in a world of
great change and great instabil
ity," he said. "These changes
permeate many phases of our
lives. The things we accept as
true today may prove to be the
errors of tomorrow."
The chancellor was introduced
by E. W. Janike, state 4-H club
leader.
4-H leaders attending last
week's session were given special
instruction to prepare them for
another 4-H year of leading
clubs. Most 4-H clubs in the
state will be reorganized for
1950's projects by April I.
to him to set the pace.
Having gone into temporary
retirement over a year ago, he
announced recently his plans to
re-enter the field with an un
precedented orchestra of forty
men, including strings and wood
winds. This new venture calls
for a nationwide concert tour of
three months each year, during
which time he plans to present
the finest of creative modern
music.
Featured Vocalist
June Christy, who has been a
Kenton mainstay for the past
four years, will be leatured at
the concerts. Miss Christy, who
embarked on a career of her
own when Stan disbanded last
year, has recently played top
night clubs and theaters across
the nation.
Again with Kenton, it, is said
she is the highest-paid band vo
calist in the history of music-business.

NUCWA
Will Elect
UN Heads
Plans are under way to elect
chairmen of the four committees
which will be working at the
time of the model United Nationi
general assembly next spring.
These chairmen will be chosen
at the next meeting of house del
egates Thursday, Feb. 2, in Room
313 of the Union.
Sue Allen, chairman of th
steering commitee for the all
campus conference, has also an
nounced the discussion program
for the Thursday meeting. The
speaker will discuss one of the
four issues to be up before th
model assembly, she said.
Committees
Each of the four conferenca
committees will be headed by a
chairman and a vice chairman.
The committees are: political and
security; economic and financial;
social, humanitarian and cultur
al; and trusteeship.
Chairmen and vice chairmen
will be elected from the house
representatives. Their duties will
be to chair all sessions of their
respective groups. Each commit
tee head must have an alternate
from among his delegation to
represent him on the floor.
Alternate representatives are
necessary since chairmen will
not take part in committee de
bate or vote in committee unless
such a case would arise that they
would ask the vice chairmen to
take the chair.
Both the chairman and vice
chairman will be working with
the steering committee and the
agenda committees from the
time of their election through
the actual conference in March.
Nominations.
Nominations for chairman and
vice chairman of any of the
commitees may be submitted by

representatives must be chosen
so that each country will be rep
resented on each committee.
Delegations are not limited to
four persons, however, and
houses may send as large a
group as they wish. Names of
the three official delegates
should be placed in the NUCWA
box in the Union basement be
