To the Editor:
The Innocents wi.-hes to commend the Junior cliiss president.
Herb Reese, and the junior council for the fine work thty have
done in putting on the 1950 Junior-Senior Prom. Considering the
fact that no funds were available when the project was started, we
feel that much credit is due the juniors for sponsoring a successful
dance.
The Society feels that this step taken by the junior council is of
great significance. It marks the first step taken by any class pi evi
dent since the war to justify the existence of that office. We feel
it is only throunh functions such as this that a class officer will
the prestige and respect which such position lightly deserves.

who showed for the same discussion.
But is the problem of final exam cheating a dead
Issue? Does this mean that students will continue stealing
exams, making cribs and using other dishonest emans to
obtain their diplomas from our University?
Many solutions have been offered, ranging from ex
cluding finals altogether to giving comprehensive exams
at the end of a student's college curricula. Some of the
solutions seem valid, and others seem absurd. At any
rate, very little has been done other than discussing the
nroblem.
One of the problems which has been brought out by
an administrative official is that dishonesty on final exams
is only a small part of the overall cheating which takes
place in the University. Copying term papers, note books,
and many other forms of dishonesty are equally as preval
ent. It has also been pointed out that cheating today is
no worse than it was after the first World War.

the reasons why students should attend colleges and uni

that cheating exists and has to go. Whether or not cheat

problem lies with the future, and any steps to curb cheat
ing id a step in the right direction.
Obviously, action will not result from any mass pro

A big weekend is in store for students on both city

The best in debate will be heard when two University
students tangle with two Scottish debaters Wednesday in
the Union ballroom. Nebraska will be represented by stu
dents whose names carry with them outstanding honors
in the field, Rodney Lindwall and Jack Solomon. They will
meet David D. T. Reid of the University of Glascow and
Malcolm David Webster-Low of the University of Edin
burgh to debate the question, "That This House Looks
with Favor on the Revival of Nationalism in Europe and
Asia." In view of the fact that University students' have
recently turned their attention to international relations
through the model UN assembly and World Court, the
issue is especially meaningful. But the talent offered at
this meeting needs no other excuse for a drawing card. We
seldom are privileged to hear our debate squads in action,
and this meeting should be of interest to all students. The
occasion is a unique project; the participants are an at
traction we should not miss.
When University students have an expert in world
affairs in their midst they can hardly afford to miss an
opportunity to hear him sneak of his experiences. Dr. C.
Clyde Mitchell will address at Ag convocation Wednesday
on winning tne oia war." unairman of the Ag eco
nomics department, Dr. Mitchell was with the United
States occupation forces in Korea from 1946 to 1948. Work
ing with the National Land administration of Korea, he
managed 600,000 acres of farm land which was later sold
to the tenant farmers. Nebraska students heard Dr. Mit
chell at the world affairs conference in February when
three days were devoted to "How Can America Best Pro
mote World Peace?" and he impressed the campus as be
ing an authoritative speaker in this field. Although Ne
braska students seldom "jump" at any opportunities, Dr.
Mitchell's talk certainly provides a valuable chance to in-
form ourselves on ideas for, resolving the cold war prob
lem. '
of the interviews a questionnaire,
drafted by the Public Relations
committee of the Council of Fra
ternity Presidents and Panhel
lenic association.
In addition, the committee
mailed more than 1,000 question
naires to alumni of the 51 social
fraternities and 22 sororities on
the campus and parents of mem
bers. When all questionnaires are
turned in it is expected that the
committee will have expressions
of opinion from more than 3,000
persons.
The project is part of an ov
erall public relations program
aimed at correcting faults in the
fraternity system, correcting er
roneous beliefs about fraternities
and sororities and developing
constructive projects and pro
grams. Results of the survey, it is
hoped, will help the college group
in planning a more effective pub
lic relations program.

When spring rolls around, you
begin to tire of the ordinary
week-end's entertainment, such
m.n f i-a 1 i-rni i V nnr cirnt'itv d:iriiv
or theatre and movie produc- ,
tions.
If you are
getting bored,
and you
should be,
next week-end
plan to attend
the Junior Ak-Sar-Ben
live
stock show.
This show is
sponsored by
the Block and
Bridle club
and will be at Walsh
8 p. m. Saturday. Just jour
ney to the 4-H arena on the
state fair grounds.
Differing from most livestock
shows in that the contestants
are judged on fitting and show
manship ability instead of the
innerent pnysical superiority or
inferiority of the animals, the
show presents unique entertain
ment for this time of year.
The showmanship contest is
complete with beef cattle, dairy
cattle, horses, hogs and sheep.
In addition to the stock showing
there are numerous special fea
tures such as the coed riding
contest, jumping horse exhibi
tions, sheep driving demonstra
tions, cutting horse contest and a
couple of show acts by trick
horses .
It is with much of the above
in mind that many people in the
know peg the show as lending
the same atmosphere as Denver,
Fort Worth and other great na
tional shows.
In urging all University stu
dents to come to the show, one
Block and Bridle member put it
this way:
We have set the price of ad
mission at the comparatively
low figure of 80 cents. Compare
this with a night at Kings which
costs at least $1.50 per couple
plus pop-corn, coke, 7-Up and
other liquid fees. As contrast, this
event will be very economical.
P. S. After the Junior Ak-Sar-Ben
show there will still be time
to drop in on the Cosmo Carnival.
Which ought to be a good show
also.
Speaking of Cosmn foreign
students and such. There has j
been quite a lot of talk on Ag
these days about the University
model U. N. and just other na
tions and nationalities in general.
I heard one (Hayseed (by way
of Danish husbandry) tell Norm
Swanson, "Swedes, ho, they're i
just Danes with their brains
knocked out." But we all know
that's not true. Because there are
really only two kinds of people
in this world. Namely, the Irish i
and the rest who wish they were, i
You'll have to excuse this kick
back from St. Patrick's day. i
Carl W. Borgman, dean of the
University faculties, a week ago
bestowed a placque of recogni- i
tion to the members of the Ne
braska Broadcasters Association.
Representing the University,
Borgmann commended the broad
casters for the many services
which they give to the Univer
sity. Among them is their mag
nificent support of Nebraska's i
youth programs which inclu les
4-H club and agricultural exten
sion work.
We believe that a really
worthwhile work is being thus
acknowledged.

early next spring when the new
EE building is finished.
Ar-cording to reports from the
Electrical Engineering depart
ment, the building, which is still
in the process of construction,
will definitely be ready for sec
ond semester use next year.
Standing in the site of Univer
sity Hall on the old section of
campus, the front of the building

the old University campus. It's
new modern architecture adds

located there.

The building will be called
Ferguson Hall, named m honor
of Dean O. J. Ferguson, dean of
Engineering college for 25 years.
He was also head of the Elec
trical Engineering department.
Modern architecture has been
used as the design of the build
ing, which is in complement to
the other new buildings on the
University campus. It is con
structed of red brick with lime
stone trim, much like recently
constructed Burnett Hall. One of
the outstanding features ol the
building is its large windows.
The 1 runt door of Ferguson
hall opens into the east wing of
the building, which is three
stories high. The east and west
wings of the building will be
used as classrooms, while the
north wing, two stories high, will
be used for laboratory work.
Laboratory
The north wing of the building
will be ready for occupation
early in September. All large
laboratory equipment will be
placed in this, section of the
building, along with some new
equipment which is in the pro
cess of being purchased. Much
equipment is now being used and
stored in the remaining section
of old Electric Engineering build
ing.
Along with the use of the east
ar.d west wings as classrooms,
piolessors' offices and a suite of
rooms for Trot. K. M. Green,
dean of College of Engineering
and architecture. The offices of
the professors will be scattered
throughout the first two stories.
The first floor will contain
lour classrooms and a large lec
ture room which will accommo
date about 200 persons. Second
floor will contain three class
rooms and the third floor will be
used for communications labora
tories. Such laboratory work as radio,
television and basic electronic
research will be carried on in
the communications lab.

When some of the classrooms
are not in use, they will be avail
able for use by other departments
