The instructor will pe THE LINEUP By CHARLES KLASEK It is truly amazing the rapidity with which the game of baseball captures the hearts of the people of America. From the dirtiest sandlois to the most elaborate major league ball parks, from Tobias Nebraska, to New York City, millions of fans thrill to the crack of a bat, a great fielding play, or a strike out, regardless whether their favorite team vans, loses, or draws. The reason? We car. only explain it by saying, it's the magic of the game. Here in Nebraska we have some of the fastest and most outstanding amateur and semi-pro baseball teams in the "coun try. It's interesting to thumb through the rosters of the squads and find the names of men who played for Tcny Sharpe's Corn husker diamond squad this spring. Tony, himself, is playing for Seward in the Cornhusker Night League this summer. Murry Backhaus is catching for North Platte in the Ne braska Independent League and Jim Cederdahl is behind the plate for Stromsburg in the Cornhusker Night loop. Of the varsity's infielders, Bob Decker has Teturned to Carrol, Iowa, for another summer in the Iowa State League; Dick Christoph has been playing second base for McCook in the NIL; Fred Seger is with Lexington in the NIL; Al Karle is at shortstop for Kearney: Bob Reynolds is playing the keystone spot for Holdrege m the same league; and Bill Giles has gone to Hannibal, Mis souri to do his diamond work. Jerry Dunn, this year't leading Husker stickman, is at North Platte; Milt Frei has joined Fremont in the Pioneer Nite League; and Ed Berg is -with Kearney. All of Nebraska's top hurlers have joined teams in either the Pioneer or Nebraska Inde pendent loops. Fran Hoffmeier is fogging them in lor Kearney, Ray Novak is at Lexington, Pat Mallatte is with Columbus, and Charlie Wright is pitching for Holdrege. In audition to those players already listed, countless other University of Nebraska students who were on Sharpe's varsity squad or on Ed Berg's B team are playing for teams throughout the state. Almost any team in the state of Nebraska can boart 1 of the name of a University student listed on their Tosters. It's these fellas along with the many eager young hometown boys and veterans that make Nebraska one of the great baseball states in the U.S. f(4MtAn . . .

Two hundred ninety three women students out of 400 polled at the University of Okla homa answered "yes" to that ques tion. Their feeling was that cheating was justified when done in self defense, that is, when others were cheating also. Other excuses sug gested: If the course is required and 01 no interest to the eTuaem; if the university continues to place great emphasis on grades; if the tests are unfaar. Suggestions given to ovoid cheating: That the teachers use alternate tests, that the "curve" system of grading be scrapped in favor of individual achievement, that different class sections take different quizzes and that more tests be given bo as to minimize the importance of finals. The moral: Think up a good ex cuse next time you cheat. All movies will be shown m the encounterod in living r.n Union Ballroom beginning at 7:30. braska farm.
