Outsiders novor lose a. chance to cast a remark at ho ungodliness of the uni versity. Not much attention Is goner ally paid ite these, but wo wish tlio min isters, at least, would refrain from ex aggeration dn their sensational efforts from tho pulpit The university was the hat-bed of tho civic federation last spring, and our students and profes sors mado the hardest fight against tho elecUon. of tho present administration, lrom some of the Ignorant remarks that have been given publicity lately, parents will begin to thing that their children, are on tho road to destruction the minute they associate with univer sity students. It is very desirable that a large dele gation of students attend tho state ora torical contest. Our orator has labored earnestly and faithfully to do credit to himself and tho university. And we in return should cheerfully encourage and allow nothing on our part to stand in tho way of his best efforts. Further, the association needs our active co-operation. !5o long as we are a member, let us see that our duty Is weH per formed. If the standard of oratory and the policy of the association need revis ing, therw la certainly no excuse for not trying to attain those ends. A splendid opportunity is now afforded. These needed changes can be no better . started tb&n by turning out en masse ' to "yell for our orator and the scarlet and cream. Let the special train, to Crete carry a happy and enthusiastic body of students. There are from twenty-five to fifty former cadets in tho university who are possessed of a few relics of their drill days, in the shape of various articles of wearing apparel. Their only idea seems to be to get the good of these, regardless of appearances and the dis credit they reflect upon the military department. They ore out of the juris diction of the commandant, and they disport themselves unmolested in a buUonles3 drill blouse, flannel shirt and derby hat. They are not moved by cr.Jtieism of their fellow students, and these few hard words will probably not affect them. You can see them about the campus and on. the streets. Their appearance attracts so much at tention that there seems to be more of them than there really are. These ca dets may not know it, but they cast a disagreeable reflection upon the mili tary department. When outsiders see them, they must .think we have a great battalion. If these drill suits must be worn, at least wear them as they should be worn. Some of these fellows should know how ridiculous they look - in a derby hat and a military blouse. Out of respect for the rest of the cadets and the military department, wo hope the prevalence of this practice will dimin ish. Tho organization of political clubs shows that the students ore taking a lively interest in tiio coming campaign. These clubs may bo a power for good or for evil. If the political questions are studied, from a non-partisan stand point, much good may come of them. But if a student goes into omt jind blindly accepts what his party leaders dictate, then he had much batter stay out. There is ample time to become partisans after leaving school. No one is prepared to join a political party to day until he has thoroughly studied its principles and their economic import. It Is safe to Bay there ore well-known students In the different clubs who are likely to take one side or the other on the silver and other questions, not as tho result of independent researtih, but becauso their parity lis ono side or the other. Indeed, Mils tendency Is quite apparent. If poHtlco-'COonomlc 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. Thoro aro many who aro de prived of such a ohnmco and are looking to tho oollego-Jtjralned man for an ex ample of tho typical citizen. Lot thom not bo disappointed. It is ovldisnt from a talk that was given by ono of tho professors to his class the olhor morning that there Is need of a hlghor moral tone in tho uni versity. When things can bo done within tho walls of tho institution that are regarded as gross wrongs if In dulged in outside, thoro is certainly something wrong. This is especally true when suoh acts aro not only fre quent, but when done they receive the sanction of tho students. Any student thai will allow his work to bo used by anybody else for tho purpose of mak ing the professor think that he is doing satisfactory work In his classes, is not only sanctioning a wrong of another person, but he Is committing n wrong himself. He is not alone Injuring the person he olds In defrauding the pro fessor, but ho does the professor an in justice in aiding in deceiving him. Moreover, he is warping his own morals, for If he feels at first that this is not exactly right, he soon begins to think of it more lightly, and after awhile he considers It no wrong at all. Anyone In tho university that cannot stand on his own feet In his work, should not bo in the institution. What are we attending the university for? Is it not for the purpose of developing good citizenship? 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, moral. It is pleasing to sef the university reaching a higher plain in college work, but Is it not equally as important that tho morals should be raised? Any body that tries to go through the uni versity on the work of another student Bhould be banished in the natural way. He should ut once find out that -the university of Nebraska is no.- place for manoeuvres of that kind, but that we ?.re a band of lnstiuclurs and students all working together for a common cause, that of developing good citizen ship, which is only obcained by binding high morals with intelligence. THE HONOR SYSTEM AT YALE. Prof.: "Gentlemen, instead of the or dinary recitation this morning I will substitute a written examination. (Great excitement; two men near tho door cut during the disturbance.) 1 am a great believer in the honor sys tem, so I will not exercise any supervi sion over you. However, for conven ience, I will have you sit two seats apart. Although I have implicit con fidence in your honor, I will divide tho class into two divisions and give each alternate row a different question. You will please bring your notebooks to my desk and leave them there, lest they get in your way and interfere with your writing. While the examination goes on I will stroll around the room, not for purposes of supervision, but simply to benefit my liver. The exam ination will now begin.
