'i TIIE HONOR SYSTEM PRO I H £ The greatest drawback a conscientious student finds on the campus is cheating during examinations If a student wants to try to do his best and others are using “ponies” that student will wonder if it is any use at all to make the paper his own The school of agriculture is trying a system at the present time to eliminate this evil During an examination the students are to watch each other and report to the professor who was cheating and how it was done This seems to be a good plan and has been tried successfully elsewhere An examination will be a true gauge of what the class is learning and the conscientious student will be judged for what he knows not what he can get from notes Hut on the otiier hand it is seen that students will not always tell on a classmate even at the expense of a better 'grade for themselves Also if the student is concentrating on the examination ho will not be apt to be looking around for cheaters If lie is looking it is probably to glean a little information for himself The idea may or may not go over If it does so much the better if not something else must be looked for At the outset it seems that too many students are here for a lark and as long as a grade is forthcoming they do not care —J K W much how it is gotten THE HONOR SYSTEM CON i ’rtt VJ ii: I! May the sports staff of the freshman class offer their humble opinions concerning the very unsportsmanlike tae- tics of the professors of the agricultural school in asking pupils enrolled in classes which are under the jurisdiction of said school to report any and all students they may happen to notice cheating in exams The basic idea of the move is obvious to cut down the underhand methods of certain pupils to attain high grades Granted this would be a However magnanimous stop toward better citizenship aien't you cutting off your nose to spite your face? Aren’t you urging the honest upright contingent of the school to lower their characters by reporting these incidents making a skunk out of a rabbit to snare a fox? We feel you are standing on the wrong foot that there is some other plausible means by which cheating may be cut to a minimum without asking someone to smear their escutcheon to reach that goal A squealer is in the estimation of his fellow class-mate- s the lowest of low as you may recall from your college days There is a murmur of dissatisfaction rolling around the campus and we fear that if any of the 'squealers are apprehended he would look mighty queer 'wandering in the middle of the quad sans his pants and we ’would be only too glad to aid the cause After all gentle-'me- n the object oi a college education is to assimilate as 'much knowledge as possible not to inveigle high grades out ’of you profs The cheater hurts only himself We as a ’class new to the ways of this institution feel this campaign to be in conflict with all the rules of sportsmanship of which we are so familiar — Freshman Sports Staff i anti-Jcheati- 21 1938 ex- pressions with the origin use and probable

Flowers For Delta Phis An "A" average is salvation and lack of it the mark of the damned acording to Phi Kappa Phis Phi Kappa Phis are superior beings they are not merely members of the graduating class They are the pick of the select Now thir blood cousins the Delta Phis are no less proud of their fraternity but when you ask them why they gesture fumble feebly for words and then mutter something about strenous days in the mission field and of the new course of marriage at the Institute I’linoey Phi K I'liix Of course Phi Kappa Phis have in their "A" grades an elusive topic that is good for three hours while you are cursing yourself for not having made opportune use of a glib tongue a disarming smile ponies and all the other paraphenalia of the apple polishing art But when they come to mistake your silence for convictions they picture themselves as individuals of prime import about to crash ail of the desirable jobs while you and I “C" students are being politely escorted to a position of low pay in the basement which chances to be embarrassingly near the furnace Hold That Finger So far as a matter of personal opinion no argument is necessary But dear Phi Kappa Phi it is a rash chap indeed who will point his finger at a student of low scholarship and announce: “Look there goes one unfit to graduate What use has the world for his kind?” Yes it is a bold and rash individual who dares challenge in a single outburst the fitness of one whose training and experience has perhaps been more aboundant and educational than his own psycho-Neurot- ic pub-lical- ly their respective classes Clause 2 A class fee of $100 per year shall be charged every bona fide member of the student body of class rank freshman to senior inclusive Clause 3 All money's belonging to the classes shall be handled by the Executive Secretary of the In stitution and will be paid only on requisition approved by the student body budget chairman and the respective class president By-la- Pore Speling Irks Breadlines Yearling Prodigy For Students all freshman have pet gripes and here’s mine spelling We hear cries everyday rot only from freshmen (but the the climbing Sophs sprouting Juniors and even the know-al- l Seniors) It seems a rather infinite howl coming from college students but there are a lot of us in the same boat without a pattle— that the pattle called spelling When we get to college we should know how to spell Consider the value of spelling il is used as much in every day life as much as any of our subjects yet it is forgotten in junior high left to the student to battle the rest of the way while he goes on taking "more important” subjects and here we are still battling I remember my eighth grade teacher says “we are at the age now that we could spell almost anything” True enough but why take it by age why not ability? Is it too late to start in college is it ever too late? Perhaps you have heard that "you can judge a man's education by his ability to spell" We are here for education why pass up one of its most important elements? Students take advanced subjects why not some kind of an advanced spelling or even a good old elementary spelling class? It would be an "Utopia" for the Profs if we were all good spellers Think of the wear and tear we could save them and the lead saved by not making red circles around every other word Les set off the bomb freshmen!
