A Reporter Says ....
Try Cheating; Risk Losing
Friends, Flunking Subjects
By Ann GUHgan
So you're going to cheat!
After seriously debating whether to study for an
extremely difficult exam, you spend a mere six
or seven hours writing a complete set of crib
notes.
Your logical reasoning tells you that crib notes
are really the best policy. After all, exams are
taken merely to show the professor how many
flourishes you can make in your handwriting!
All right, go ahead and cheat!
Maybe you'll succeed. Maybe you'll pull a five
plus instead of the five you would normally re
ceive by a few hours of hard studying. More likely
you'll have an experience similar to the following
true stories of poor "overworked" students who
found it necessary to carry out that overused word,
"cheating."
The first case is a political science student. This
student must have spent all night before his exam
writing crib notes. At any rate, the student wasn't
wide awake enough to hand in the right paper to
the instructor. Instead of the test answers, the in
structor found an elaborate set of crib notes with
th student's name bravely peering out of the
ri !it-hand corner. Upon being told of his mistake,
the student could only comment, "Oh, my God!"
An English student pulled this boner. The girl
copied an essay from a not-too-widely unknown
book on figurine painting. This time her luck was
gainst her. The instructor recognized the source.
He formerly had been a copyreader for a pub
lishing company, and during this time had read
the same book.
One girl, when questioned about her paper
came well prepared. She immediately produced
from her purse a two inch pile of kleenex and
began what appeared would be a long weeping
spelL
But the most remarkable technique of cheating
came to light in a philosophy class. The class, a
course in logic, was made up of about 40 members
mostly graduate students. The instructor gave a
test and noticed that, although all 40 students
were present during the test, one paper was
missing.
The instructor decided that he probably had
mislaid one of the papers, but the same thing
happened in a second test. He called the student
whose paper was missing into his office. The stu
dent insisted he had handed in a paper and backed
his statement by showing the professor his paper.
The Instructor was enlightened when, upon closely
scrutinizing the paper, it became apparent that
the original writer's name had been erased and
another name put in its place.
So you're still going to cheat!
That's your privilege. No one is stopping you.
Of course, if you're caught, you'll flunk the exam,
and maybe the whole course. But what's so bad
about flunking a course here and there. There
are lots of courses you passed to balance those
few flunks and anyway, the style now is to join
the army or get married not graduate!
And if you are caught cheating, your professor
no doubt will excuse you if you tell him that you
had to crib to make a fraternity average, or you're
planning to cheat you way toward PBK. Profes
sors are always thrown over by good excuses. One
intelligent person thought of the excuse that "the
purpose of the University is to encourage think
ing," and flunking him because he cheated was
"discouraging his thinking."
Don't feel bad if cheating losses a few friends.
Your friends are merely jealous that your cribbing,
and copying of other people's papers gained you a
higher grade than their own hard studying got
them.
Cheating is a good business. Try it and see what
kind of returns you get!

Senate Probes Crime
The senate crime committee in
vestigated various questionable
activities of Frank Costello, last
week. In connection with their
campaign to break up the na-
tion's two main crime syndicates
Monday, George Morton Levy
told the committee that he had
paid Costello. branded "czar" of
one of the syndicates, $60,000 to
rid the Roosevelt race track of
bookmakers.
Levy said that Costello had
done a good job of getting rid of
them but he had no idea of
"how" he had done it.
Tuesday, the suave, unsmiling
Costello refused to tell crime
probers the extent of his wealth.
Confronted with the threat of de
portation, the gambler complained
about the inhuman treatment he
had received from the commit
tee. Wednesday, prompted by sug
gestions that he might be subject
to perjury charges, the gambler
told investigators that he hnd
about $55,000 in cash in a strong
box at his home.
He has admitted that he was
connected with a plan to control
Whitney distilleries in England
and would have been exclusive
distributor of these products in
America. As distributor, he had
planned to receive 5,000 pounds
annually for expenses, and a five
shilling commission for every case

United states.
Friday, the gambler, pleading
illness, again refused to, talk.
A-Bomb Tests Hinted
The atomic energy commission
has hinted that now tests with
U.S. atomic weapons are in pros
pect.
Gordon Dean, chairman of the
AEC, broadly hinted that tests
will be given far out to sea or
dropped from airplanes at places
other than the testing sites usee,
ud to now. 1
The commission has been In

Saboteurs have struck at the
heart of communist China.
A 25,000 kilowatt generator in
the capital city, Peking, has
been smashed and fifty-nine
streetcars set ablaze. The Chi

Similar Religious Beliefs
Needed for Marriages-White
It is terribly dangerous to come
to any kind of an agreement on
marriage after the vows have
been taken, according to a state
ment . made by C. Vin White,
while speaking before the first in
a series of Ag Union discussions
Wednesday on Religion in Mar-
ralge.
He continued; "Be very careful
if keeping company with an
athiest. Do not marry him (or
her) unless you are an atheiest
yourself."
White stated that people de
ciding to marry should agree on
their philosphy of life while
courting. As part of this, he said,
they ought to be at one concern
ing their religious belief.
White spoke at the first of three
discussions on marriage and
courtship jointly by the Ag Union
and Ag YMCA.
The next informal forum will
be Monday at 4:30 p.m. in the
Ag Union lounge. Rex Knowles,
student pastor, will give a brief
summary and answer questions
concerning the problem of a
"Basis for Marriage." The final
forum will be Wednesday.
Lack of Prayer
The minister of the First Pres
byterian church of Lincoln said
he is amazed at the lack of prayer
on the part of young people
future parents, who are making
careful studies of economic prob
lems, budgeting, furniture and
employment.
The hope of the world does not
rest in the hands of the children
of today, but in the hands of the
parents of the children. Parents
he stated, improve the children.
Part of every day, the minister
said, should be devoted to wor
ship. The amount of this time
must be based on the needs of
the individual.

family, he said, from the rest of
society. There is a happy medium
between exclusiveness and inclus
iveness of the home that must be
striven toward, he continued.
Proper Attitude
White cautioned against mar
riages of mixed faiths. He said
at times he has refused to marry
couples who were of conflicting
religious beliefs or who did not
have the proper attitude toward
the sacrament of matrimony.
Upon question, the pastor listed
several basic differences between
the Protestant and Catholic be
liefs. Among them were interpre

ana relationship with God.

Experimental
Corn Hybrids
Receive Names
Two experimental corn hy
brids developed at the Univer

tion have official names now.
They are AES 802 and AES
803. The letters comprising a re
gional name stand for Agricul
tural experiment station and the
number series are used to indi
cate relative maturity of the
corn. Dr. John lionnquist, asso
ciate agronomist at the Univer
sity, and corn breeder, says the
new regional names have been
selected as part of the co-operative
corn breeding program of
all experiment stations in the
northcentral states.
All new hybrids approved by
the breeders on a reg onal basis
from here on will carryMhe new
designation to indicate that the
breeding has been done co-operatively
by land-grant college
experiment stations.
Only three such hybrids In

have been officially named thus
far. The Nebraska hybrids
formerly were called Nebraska
experiment 893B and Nebraska
experiment 1219B. The third hy

AES 801, a development from
Iowa State college.
The two Nebraska hybrids
AES 802 and AES 803 have
been tested in Nebraska for sev
eral years. Their record of per
formance earned for them the
regional names. The hybrids are
highly resistant to lodging and
rate superior in yield. They are
the result of a comprehensive

Nebraska Council
Under the heading of politics,

U.N. Troops March On
Monday, communist resistance
collapsed along the central Ko
rean front. Reds fled along the
38th parallel and from the city
of Seoul.
Tuesday, 200,000 U.N. troops
surged north in an unopposed
general advance that outflanked
Seoul, engulfed Changpyong and
threatened Hongchon.
Wednesday, South Korean 1
troops occupied the city of Seoul
and reds fled north alone tha
140-mile Korean battlefront.
Five strong South Korean na-
trols began crossing the Han riv
er in fishing boats at dawn. In
northeast Korea, allies dropped
260 tons of bombs on important
railroad bridges south of the
Manchurian border.
Thursday, U.N. troops captured
the big communist supply base of
Hongchong in central Korea, and
sent tanks driving north toward
Chunchon, eight miles south of
the 38th parallel.
Friday, tha American four-day
advance was slowed by commu
nist reinforcements. The Ameri
cans threw 50 shells for every
one the reds shot in a thundering
artillery duel on the central front.
A statement Saturday by the
navy announced a naval bom
bardment of a barracks area near
Wonsan on North Korea's east
coast that killed or wounded at
least 6,000 communist troops.
Another bombardment of an
enemy troop concentration in the
Singi area is reported to have in
flicted 2,000 casualties.
Saturday, red troops were
building strong defenses along;
some stretches of the 38th paral

fenses gives rise to speculation,
that the communists would make
a strong bid for peace when al
lied forces again reach the pre
war boundary between commu
