Your pupils showed us that they know how a football i game should be played. Everyone realized that they would, not be tops the first year, or even two or three. All Ne-; braska fans wanted was a team that could play well and bring honor to the school, even in defeat. You sent a team on the field that did look good, both in victory and defeat. For accomplishing this, you won the respect and admira tion of everyone interested in Nebraska football.

To the Editor: Perhaps it's unfortunate that I'm writing this letter now, in view of all the "final exam cheating" which has been brought to seen students display that kind of spirit.

However, I feel so strongly about this "situation" that I can confess that it miKht have been 'no longer restrain myself. The "situation" to which I refer is the basketball seating ar rangement with which we (the students) have been "gifted." There seems to be no doubt among students that the general public and the faculty have the best balcony seats in the coliseum. But why should they have the best seats? Shouldn't a school sponsor athletic teams primarily for the benefit and enjoyment of its student body, rather than for profits to be derived from a paying public? And yet, the students certainly are playing "second fiddle" to the paying public in the Coliseum. T am not an advocate of violence, but when I see the general- piiDiic section naii-iiwea iu minutes Detore game time, l am tempted to cut the wire barrier with a pair of clippers and invite the unseated students in the reserved section. Or perhaps a small riot would get some action. But again, I don't advocate rioting. News and Views Skits Planned By Coeds For Spring Show an accident wnen sue oroppen the egs.

Fred Chael Dear Fellow Cornhuskers: As you have undoubtedly noticed, there has been a great deal of publicty given to the general subject of final examinations here at Nebraska. Much has been written on both sides of the problem, including some of my own initial reactions to the situation. In order to clarity my Maud, I would like to add a few things. The stand I am taking i.s that the entire subject of final exam inations should be investigated. I feel that the students arc noti I strongly believe that something should be donel about this unfortunate situation.

Miss Rosenbaum Saturday completes a year's tenure as president of the Nebraska Red Cross college unit. Under her leadership, the organization's program both in the community and on the campus has been enthusias tically received. To her post as a director, Miss Rosenbaum will bring long acquaintance with Red Cross service. In addition, she will reveal a background of sincere civic in terest, as evidenced by her stands for FEPC, the dropping of racial barriers in the women's dorm and other issues, as well as three years of college Red Cross work. As an outstanding University woman, Miss Rosenbaum should ably represent some ten thousand Nebraska students as the first college student on the local Red Cross board. i I The National Students Association seems to be court ing Nebraska university to some extent. In the January issue of The NSA News appears a three-column picture of I'rotessors Curtis Llliot and Karl Arndt conducting last semester's All University Fund auction. We might as well add our bit in protest to the present two-minute basketball rule which is putting the clamps on the team behind. Nebraska's game at Colorado was a good example. Once the rule goes into effect, a team try ing to overcome a four or five point deficit might just as well throw in the towel. They say the rule was established to prevent too much rough play in the closing minutes. On the contrary, players are going to be even more anx ious to get the ball so they can enjoy the privileges ex tended to its possessor, and the game will be just as rough as a consequence. Our prediction is that the' rule won't live long. It shouldn't. Too many people have voiced their disapproval, and there'll be more. Tt's surprising how three or four girls walking alnnr a narrow sidewalk can have the same effect as a brutal, charging line of football players. Only a person with nerve to spare would dare try to crash that shapely line. It sweeps all in its path, often knocking unsuspecting males off into the deep snow or grimy mud. Have a heart, girls! Sidewalks are icy. There's room for everyone. 'yive credit where credit is due" describes the exam Bitustion. Give credit to those students who have proven themselves to be in the upper grade level. Excuse them from final examinations. The chief argument of those who oppose such a sys tem is that even the good student benefits by review. In the long run, however, such scholars will be "full of their subject," whether they study for the exam or not. Fur thermore, a final will seldom affect their grades up to date. The same applies to both basic and advanced courses. It's good arithmetic: Review benefits are slight, plus Grades will not be changed, adds up to Good students should be rewarded for honest effort. r eHow-Traveler' undoubtedly bring fo light many difficulties. Perhaps a better and I - 1 if ., more standardized system can be worked out from the information they have gathered OlieilillS Told We all agree that the situation could stand improvement. I feel 1 that cooperation between students, faculty, and administration can effect a solution which will meet with the approval of each group. Roswell B. Howard Classified WATCHF.g rpalr!.
