Your pupils showed us that they know how a football i

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

Polio struck 681 Nebraskans In 1949, leaving 43 dead in its wake. The crippling disease was re
ported in 78 of the state's 93 counties. County totals are shown in the map above in white flrores.
The deaths are shown in black figures in the white circles.
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. It shows howl resounds thru the hails of the

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.

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

in the community and on the campus has been enthusias

will bring long acquaintance with Red Cross service. In
addition, she will reveal a background of sincere civic in

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

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

Herbert J. Phillips, discharged
last year from the University of
Washington faculty, reportedly
for communist affiliation, got a
surprise when at the end of his
speech to students of Pacific
university a dean of the school
read a previously written pre
diction of the speech.
It was an accurate forecast and
the dean, D. D. Darland, said
tr.it he had been able to make it
because he knew beforehand of
the communist line for students.
