The Daily Nebraskan
From The Editor's Desk:
Voting Right
The right of University student representatives
to vote on Faculty Senate committees, will be
determined next week in meetings of the Sen
ate Committee on Committees, and the meeting
of the Senate itself.
Right now the Senate is in possession of a
resolution by the Student Council "respectfully
requesting the Faculty Senate to allow the stu
dent representatives on the Senate Committee
the right to vote at the discretion of the Indi
vidual committees." This resolution has been
approved by the Faculty Committee on Student
Affairs.
Students have been deprived of their right to
vote since December, 1955, by a Faculty Senate
resolution. This resolution was more or less for
gotten until January, 1957. Now, student mem
bers may sit in on the committees on which
they have representation and take part in dis
cussion. They may give opinionos and make
recommendations, but they may not vote.
The Daily Nebraskan earnestly hopes the Com
mittee on Committees and the Faculty Senate
will give the Student Council's recommendation
fullest consideration. The Council believes stu
dent voice should be heard, through a vote, on
committees where students have in the past
and could now be of assistance in making de
cisions and policy.
The Daily Nebraskan is in accord with this
belief. Student vote is only right on such com
mittees as the Subcommittee on Student Publica
tions, which choses the paid staffs of the Corn
husker and the Daily Nebraskan. Both these
publications use funds from student fees. They
are also the strongest medium for student opin
ion. The opinions and recommendations of students
serving on Faculty Senate committees is always
necessary, of course, even without a vote. But
voting power is necessary for this student opin
ion to have its greatest and most useful effect.
Return On Approval
The Interfraternity Council, recently revamped
and eager to please, is petitioning the Committee
on Student Affairs to return the IFC Ball to
fraternities as part of a "fraternity weekend"
in May.
The Ball, once a traditional event, was sus
pended by the Committee in 1955 on the recom
mendation of the Office of Student Affairs. The
withdrawal of the privilege of the IFC to hold
the Ball came because officials felt there was
too much infringing of the University's drinking
policies at the dance, held at an off-campus lo
cation. Now the fraternity system feels ready and
able to take the responsiblity of handling the
Ball and keeping within University rules.
In itself, the IFC Ball is a good thing for the
system. It gives fraternity men a chance to get
together in a social way, and learn there can be
rather nice fellows in other houses, after all.
It would, if the right to hold it is granted by
the Committee, be part of a "fraternity week
end" which is apparently replacing the old
Greek Week once held here, which is quite suc
cessful on other campuses. And, it is hoped, it
would prove to the University that the fraternity
system is ready to grow up and to take responsi
bility in supporting University rules.
The Interfraternity Ball would be a nice thing
for the fraternity system, and if well conducted
would be a nice thing for University, as it could
show that students on the campus axe not merely
disorderly children.
But, to get the Ball back the IFC is going to
have to realize that their annual frolic cannot
be like the bacchanal rites of old. And if it is
returned, in order to keep it the fraternity sys
tem will have to take it upon itself to behave.
The IFC Ball should be worth that much to
fraternities, at least.
trange Custom
A survey of American coDege students indi
cates that "systematic cheating on examinations
is the custom rather than the exception" at
many large colleges.
The survey was conducted by Philip Jacob,
social science professor at the University of
Pennsylvania who stated that students had "gen
erally low standards in regard to academic
honesty."
Jacob surveyed more than 350 studies which
had been made in the field to reach bis con
clusion. He said he feels his conclusions repre
sent the views of 75 to 80 per cent of all Ameri
can college students (there are about three mil
lion) in all kinds of colleges, both publicly and
privately owned.
Although students generally seem to believe
In high values, Jacob said, it is with regard to
cheating that "the chinks in the moral armor of
American students are most obvious."
He stated that the situation varies greatly
among institutions but that frequent cheating
is admitted by 40 per cent or more at a large
number of colleges, often with no apology or
sense of wrong doing.
. The problem certainly exists at the University
where new methods of cribbing axe being
thought of every day. The motivation behind
cheating might be the sight of the much sought
after sheepskin, but this has its ridiculous as
pects. The possession of a diploma indicates (nomin
ally, at least) the possession of knowledge an
education. In this day and age when the di
ploma means little more than that the holder
spent four years at an educational institutional
the true value of knowledge is forgotten.
A student cannot be helped by knowing the
latest method of cribbing; he cannot profit from
the knowledge that a certain symbol on his shoe
represents a mathematical formula.
He can be helped by understanding the facts
of past history and applying them (where they
fit) to his own understanding of the present
world and its conflicts.
We cannot lay the blame for cheating in col
leges on the curriculum. After all, anything that
an intelligent educator feels is worth knowing,
is worth teaching, is probably quite worth ab
sorbing. ' The Jacob study said "no really adequate ex
planation" of the practice of cheating and the
high values which students had in general has
appeared.
We cannot answer the question, either. Per
haps the fault lies in the warped value put on
the sheepskin. Perhaps it's time for a re-evaluation.

Nebraskan Letterips
To The Editor:
Two items came td my desk this
week that should be shared with
the University. The first is that
the contribution of the University
of Nebraska ($2,581.63) to World
University Service was the largest
of any of the colleges of the Rocky
Mountain region and seventh
amoung the 608 colleges of the na
tion, surpassed only by Smith,
Yale, Northwestern, Miami, Uni
versity of California, and Stanford.
The second is a letter from Mr.
Magsaysay, President of the Phil
ippines, who says in part, "By
sharing your extra resources on a
mutual service basis with the uni
versities of 37 other countries, you
are not only assisting students to
complete 'their studies in good
health and with adequate equip
ment, but you are also demonstrat
ing a sincere concern to encourage
international fellowhip among the
young people of all free nations.
May I. express my sincere hope
that these noble efforts in behalf
of the needs of others will continue
to be a major function of cam
pus life in the United States."

To The Editor:
After seeing the Coed Follies,
something that has been in the
back of my mind since I was a fresh
man was given an extra boost. My
idea is along this same line. But
before I explain my plan of attack,
it must be understood that I am
not slandering the Coed Follies or
the Kosmet Klub Fall Revue. Aft
er this short introduction, we'll get
down to the business at hand. I
propose that the Coed Follies and
the K. K. Revue be combined into
a bigger and better show. By com
bined, I mean possibly four soror
ity skits and four fraternity skits
would appear on the stage alter
nately. A first, second, and third
place award couid be given to the
best fraternity and sorority skit.
Also, honors could be give to the
best performing .male and female
individuals. The show would play
for two or three nights depending
on the response to the plan.
However, this idea is not a new
one. In fact, it is in practice right
now and has been for years in
many of the large schools in the
country. To submit a couple of
exsmples close to home, Iowa
State and Missouri have been giv
ing this type of fraternity and sor-

ority variety show for years. Iowa
State calls its show Veisha. The
Savitor Frolics is the label
down at Columbia. It is sponsored
by the Savitar, which is the
school's yearbook. Maybe we could
call our show Comhusker Capers.
After getting some opinion on
this proposal around the campus,
it seems that there are no very
serious objections to such an idea
except one tradition.

NCU Students'
Cars Stuck
In Bad Spot
So we think the parking situation
at the University is bad . . .
Over 300 cars at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
are being processed in the state
capital to discover their owners.
The cars, which are not registered
with the university, are being held
until some settlement is made by
the students.
The Daily Tar Heel, campus pa
per, notes that the future traffic
policy at the university "depends
largely upon students' self-discipline
in abiding by existing rules
and in cooperating with groups of
students officially representing the
student body.
Thirty car-owners have been tried
by NCU student body officers so
far in the battle between motor
and sticker.
