Rally Is
Disallowed
The Lincoln City Council
Monday denied the University
privileges to use the down
town district for a pep rally
Friday night, according to
Frank Hallcren, Associate
Dean of Student Affairs. .
Since the Homecoming dis
play routes and Halloween
both will require extra oolitfe
services, the Council felt it
could not provide the service
needed for the rally. '
Instead, Friday night rally
activities will start at 6:45 at
the tower, down 14th to R,
east on R. to 16th and north
on 18 to the Klein lot. The
rally will be held in the El "in

idea of not having a big

pointment. Opinions Later
Some said they would
like both but since that was
impossible they were1 going
to hear the quartet and form
their opinions later.
Gene Puerllng, leader
of the quartet, told the Daily
Nebraskan In a telephone In
terview that Saturday will be
their first appearance before
a university group. He said
they were more excited
about singing before students
than they were about any
night club performance.
When asked about their se
lection, of numbers for the
hour show, Puerling respond
ed in his melodious voice,
"It's something special but
we want it to be a surprise."
Their current hit now is

Homecoming Displays Get
Campus Police Protection
Campus police will be out in
full force Friday night to help
protect Homecoming displays
from vandalism, according to
Capt. Eugene Masters, head
of the campus police.
The police will patrol the
area in police cars and also
on foot, said Capt. Masters.
The forces will remain on
watch throughout the evening
and early morning hours.
Direct Request
Capt. Masters explained a
direct request from James
Pittenger, assistant to the
Chancellor, had asked for ex
tra protection. The request,
according to Capt. Masters,
originated with the Innocents.
Officials felt the need for
extra protection this year in
view of the destruction of
three homecoming displays
last year. Five persons, three
of which were University stu
dents, attempted to set fire to
several of the displays during
the early hours of the morn
ing. The Sigma Kappa, Kappa
Kappa Gamma and Alpha Xi
Delta displays were damaged
by fires the vandals set.
The five offenders were pur
sued by fraternity men who
were aroused by the disturb
ance at the neighboring soror
ity houses.
The vandals were later ap
prehended by city police. The
student cases were referred

Puerling asked what oc
casion Saturday was at the
University and when the an
swer was Homecoming, he
said, "If you lose we hope
you won't blame us."
Those on this end' of
the wire suggested that they
bring some luck with them
for the Nebraska football
team.
When he was told that the
weather was exceedingly
cold in Nebraska this week,
Puerling replied, "Gee, I'm

Col. -Rawie, the instructor
usually returns at the end of
a half hour to write the time
on the board and again at the
end of the period to collect
the tests.
Frequently instructors do
not even return at the end of
the period, and the cadets
place their tests in a folder

Rawie said.
Tests are both subjective
and objective and new forms
are issued each time, the
colonel noted.

Nebra$kan
Costs $300
Each Day
Approximately $300 is spent
to prepare each regular four
page issue of The Daily Ne
braskan, according to figures
released Tuesday by business
manager Stan Kaiman.
The largest portion, $225, is
for actual printing expenses.
Salaries and office operating
expenses each account for ap
proximately $30 and special
features, such as cartoons,
for $10.
Special issues, such as the
eight page Homecoming Rag
which will be published Fri
day, cost $600, Kaiman said.
Some 75-85 per. cent of this
revenue is obtained through
local and national advertis
ing. Recent figures indicate
that this large volume of ad
vertising is due to the fact
that the college paper reaches
some 98 per cent of the stu
dents enrolled.
These students spend near
ly $10,000,000, directly or in
directly in Lincoln. A national
clothing concern indicates
that the average male college
student spends $250 per year
on clothing alone.
In addition, some 100 paid
subscriptions are sent to par
ents, friends and alumni.
The remaining 1525 per
cent of the expenses are ob
tained from the- University
which deducts the amount
from student tuitions paid
each semester.
tained there is no success for
the individual without charac
ter, said his instructors could
soon tell if students wer
cheating on tests.
Certain Portion
They divide test questions
and each one grades only a
certain portion of each cad
et's test.
"The trained instruc
tor could quickly see similar
ities between exams. If he
suspected cheating, he would
watch for it in the future,"
he said.
Col. Rawie noted that sim
ilar systems have been used
successfully at West Point,
Annapolis and the Air Force
Academy. He said that any
system should have set rules,
"so the student who wants to
take a chance knows he will
suffer."
"Adults nowadays are train
ing students to be leaders and
they must be able to trust
them.
Character
"The cheater certain
ly won't be the one to whom
we can entrust the future of
the country," he said.
"A man's success depends
on his character," the colonel
added.
The University isn't too
large for a workable honors
system, thought Col. Rawie.
He suggested that each col
lege have its own Honor Committee.
