Outsiders nover lose a chnnco to cast a remark at the ungodliness of tlio uni versity. Not much nttontlon Is sonor ally paid ito thoso, but wo wish tho min iatera, at least, would refrain from ex aggeration in their sensational efforts from tho pulpit. Tho unlvorsity was tho hot-bod of tho civic federation last spring, and our students and profes sors made tho hardest fight ngalnst tho election of tho present administration. FVom some of tho Ignorant remarks that have been given publicity lately, parents will begin to thing that their children, are on the road to destination tho minute thoy associate with univer sity students. It is very desirabto that a large dele gation of students attend tho state ora torical contest. Our oiwtor has labored earnestly and faithfully to do crouit to himself and the university. And we in return should cheerfully encourage and allow nothing on our pant to stand in tho way of his best efforts. Further, tho association needs our active co-operation. So long as we are a member, lot us see that our duty Is welt per formed. If tho standard of oratory and tho policy of the association need revis ing, there is certainly no excuse for not trying to attain -thoso ends. A splendid opportunity is now afforded. These needed changes can be no hotter started than by turning out en musse to yell for our orator and tho scarlot and cream. Lot the special train to Crete carry a happy and enthusiastic body of students. Thero are from twenty-five to fifty former cadots in tho university who aro possessed of a tow relics of their drill days, in tho shape of various articles of wearing apparel. Their only idea eeoms to be to get tho good of these, regardless of appearances and tho dis credit they relloct upon the military department. They are out of tho juris diction of the commandant, and they disport themselves unmolested in a buttonless drill blouse, flannel shirt and derby hat Thoy are not moved by criticism of their fellow students, and theso few hard words will probably not affect them. You can seo them about tho campus and on tho streets. Their appearance attraots bo much at tention that there seems to lie more of them than there really are. These ca dets may not know it, but thoy cast a disagreeable rellectlon upon tho mili tary department When outsiders see them, they must think we have a great battalion. If these drill suits must bo worn, at least wear them as thoy should bo worn. Some of theso fellows should know how ridiculous thoy look in a derby hat and a military blouse. Out of respect for tho rest of tho cadots and tho military dopartmont, wo hope tho prevalence of tills practice will dimin ish. , Tho organization of political clubs shows that tho students are taking a lively interest in tho coming campaign. These clubs may bo a power for good or for evil. If tho poUtlcal questions aro studied from a non-partisan stand point, much good may como of them. But if a student goes into one and blindly accepts what hiB party leaders dictate, then ho had much better stay out. There is ample tlmo to become partisans after leaving school. No one Is prepared to join a political party to day until ho has thoroughly studied its principles and their economic import It is safo to say there are well-known students in itho different clubs who are likely to take one sldo or tho other on the sllvor and other questions, ndt as tho result of independent research, but because- -their vanty is ono side or tho othor. Indeed, Mils tondency lr quite upparonlt. If politico-economic questions aro over studied calmly and without preju dice It must bo now. Plonty of mate rial is within ready command. Dis cretion requires a careful and impartial study. There aro many who are do prlvod of such a chnnco and aro looking to tho college-trained man for an ox amplo of tho typical citizen. Lot thorn not bo disappointed. It is evident from a talk that was given by ono of tho professors to his class tho olhor morning that thoro la need of a higher moral tone In tho uni versity. When things can bo done within tho walls of tho Institution that tire rogurdod as gross wrongs if ln dulgod In outsido, thero Is certnlnl Homothlng wrong. This Is ospocally truo whon suoh acts arc not only fre quent, but whon done thoy rccolvo tho sanction of tho students. Any student that will allow his work to bo used by anybody else for tho purpose of mak ing tho professor think that he Is doing satisfactory work In his classes, is not only sanctioning a wrong of another person, but he Is committing a wrong himself. Ho Is not alone injuring tho person ho aids in defrauding tho pro fessor, but ho docs tho professor an in justice in aiding in deceiving him. Moreover, ho is warping his own morals, for If he fools at ilrst that this Is not exactly right, ho soon begins to think of it more lightly, and after awhile ho considers It no wrong at all. Anyone In tho university that cannot stand on his own feet In his work, should not bo in tho Institution. What are wo attending tho university for? Is it not for the purpose of developing good cltlzonslilp? A man with an in tellect and no morals is often more de structive to the state than a man with out much Intelligence, and yet, moml. It la pleasing to sef tho unlvorsity reaching a higher plain in college irork, but Is It not equally as Important that tho morals should bo raised? Any body that tries to go through tho unl vorsity on tho work of another student should bo banished in tho natural way. He should tit onco find out that the university of Nebraska Is no place for manoeuvres of that kind, but thnt wo aro a band of instructors and students nil working together for a common cause, that of developing good citizen ship, which is only obtained by binding high morals with Intelligence. THE HONOR SYSTEM AT YALE. Prof.: "Gentlemen, Instead of tho or dinary recitation this morning I will substitute a written examination. (Great excitement; two men near tho door cut during the disturbance.) I am a groat believer in tho honor sys tem, so I will not exercise any supervi sion over you. However, for conven ience, 1 Willi havo you sit two seats apart Although I havo implicit con fidence In your honor, I will divide tho class Into two divisions and give each alternate row a different question. You will pleaso bring your notebooks to my desk and leave tlicm there, lest they get in your way and interforo with your writing. While tho examination goes on I will stroll around the room, not for purposes of supervision, but simply to benefit my liver. Tho exam ination will now begin. Yale Record.
