TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 19, 1935 FIVE CENTS IS ENOUGH Did you sit and chuckle at the antics of a "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"? Did kind hearted "Dr. Bull" and shewed "David Harum" give you any enjoyment? Did you follow the adventures of a reformed patent medicine vender in "Steamboat Round the Bend"? For years, did you pick up the morning paper and turn to the quaint and sage sayings of Will Rogers? You have probably done all of this. Certainly the happiness you received from this man cannot be paid for in money. It would be little him to assume that any sum of money would fully renew our debt to Will Rogers. The Will Rogers Memorial fund is not asking for large contributions. To the contrary, it discourages them. Small amounts are welcomed because by receiving a great number of small contributions, it is possible for millions of people to show their appreciation and regard for him. Without a doubt there are a few millionaires who would gladly donate enough money to erect a fitting memorial for Will Rogers. Instead of appealing to them, however, the committee asks that everyone who saw and loved Will Rogers contribute to his memorial. The poor man's nickel is just as acceptable as the rich man's thousands. The memorial is to be created by everyone, not just a few. So, students, don't feel that you are called upon to place any great amount of money in the contribution boxes placed about the campus. Five cents is all that is necessary and desirable to show your appreciation for this great American. Kansas City Kansan Mount Vesuvius in Italy has been erupting anew. We understood that nowadays such activity was reserved exclusively for Mussolini. Like Davey of Ohio and Talmadge of Georgia, Governor Landon of Kansas must be wondering about the new Hocking hops - Wichita Eagle. THESE 1936 OLYMPICS The Olympic sports controversy seems to have many sincere and loyal adherents on both sides. The question, "Should the United States withdraw from the 1936 Olympics?", has caused intensely bitter feeling between the two groups. However, from our point of view we should consider two important points. The first of these is the effect the withdrawal would have on Kansas University athletes, and the second is the position that has been taken by the man who is head of A.A.U. who is largely responsible for raising the money to send our teams to the games. Dr. Alien will without much doubt be the man selected to coach the United States basketball team in the coming games. The members who will be on our team this year have a very good chance to gain places on the team which represents the United States in Berlin. If we withdraw, those men will never get a chance to gain the fame which is possible provided we enter the games. They were too young to be in the last games, and will be out of the game by 1940. Their side of the question should receive serious consideration. If we are to compete in Berlin, as we probably shali, we must raise money to send our teams to Germany. The A.A.U. must carry the burden of raising this money. Yet the president of the A.A.U., Mr. Jeremiah T. Mahoney, delivers impassioned speeches demanding that we withdraw from the Olympic Games. Mr. Mahoney has and deserves many supporters, but if this is his political plank he should resign from the presidency of the A.A.U. whose job it is to raise money for doing what he says it shouldn't do. That is no criticism of Mr. Mahoney. We merely point out that he is a boomerang in the face of his own organization and a divorce on grounds of incompatability is necessary. Our Contemporaries What to do about students cheating en exams is a constant problem, it seems. But it is not such an elusive problem when one looks at it simply. STUDENTS ARE USUALLY HONEST; THE SYSTEM OFTEN MAKES CREATE&RE In the University we have an educational system which places too much premium on the ability of a student to pass an examination. Those who don't have to cebah to pass exams why those who do should be more honest. The perpetrators of our educational system have the same idea. They think the way to correct the situifity is to pass rules and regulations against dishonesty. Some of them that there are always a certain amount of dishonesty stuck in their mind that there is no time to offer to them conditions like they could exercise a bit of self-discipline. Some think that the professor should publish a set of moral principles for students to follow, harp on them continually, and before every examination say, "Now remember students, if you cheer, you are only cheating yourselves. I won't look for any cheating on this exam. But I'm expecting all of you to be honest with your class." This sort of thing can do some good, but it is likely to do more harm. It tests tochepen a set of perfectly good ideals, because the student known that he is not going to work at this examinations, dribble, but the point he tails on the examination. Students do not cheat because they are dishonest or because they have been brought up by incompetent parents. They chunt because the University often unknowingly places a premium on cheating. Many come to the university to feel that the value of moral education only to learn that the delicate art of "getting by" will sometimes pass courses for them. The trouble lies in a faulty educational system. Students are often assigned to look up certain things in very dull books or to stay awake during extremely boring lectures, so they must rely on those things or they will fail their next examination. Then the exam date rolls around. The test is rather hard. It places no stress on intelligence but rather on the ability of a student to stay awake through dull lectures and to dig into dry books on moonlight nights. The course perhaps is a prerequisite the student didn't want or see any need for in the first place. The boy next to him is doing fine and writes in a beautiful hand. He realizes that if he can just make sixty points on this examination, he will be on top of the world. "Education" he damned; "I don't stay off final trial," he thinks, "I'll be kicked out of school. Fit chance to become 'educated' I'll have then." The student (most likely an undergraduate who has never been told what an education should or might mean to him) finds that his collar has become exceedingly tight, the room staff, and his eyes sore. His head then proceeds to whirl, the student stares in disbelief, and that is that if he fails this test he will probably be placed on final trial. That word "honeys" has no place in the picture. One might as well place a bowl of soup in front of a staring man, give him a spoon, and expect him to remember his table manners. The University will never be able to teach honesty, although some students may discover its value through bitter experience, so long as it offers plenty of inducements for dishonesty. Just some of the things which induce dishonesty are: A poor social system of冠冕绅客. Too much emphasis on too few examinations as a means of grading students. The A. B. C. method of grading papers. The proctor system of conducting examinations. Design, measure examinations. Foreign language examinations. Final examinations. Staid assignments alike in the same course year in and year out. Incompetent Instructors. Dull professors who try to make students interested through means of intimidation rather than by offering them opportunities to learn. Too much specialization in undergraduate courses. If the permanent element of the University would do its utmost to offer the best conditions under which honesty on the part of students might be induced and respect for the values of being honest with themselves—Daily Texen.
