WESTERFIELD Manager’s and Editor’s Phone—841. Will the Faculty Recognize Student Honor? IN GLANCING over a bulletin on the present status of the “honor system” by Professor Baldwin, of Swarthmore College, we note the following statement made by Dr. W. M. Smith, late secre tary to President Campbell: “We have not as yet established the honor system in the Uni versity of Oregon. The subject is at present being debated by the faculty, but to be of permanent help we realize that the initiative must come from the student body.” At the present time the question of an “honor system” is be ing investigated by a special committee of the Student Council, wnich is completing the work inaugurated by a committee of last year’s council. JLf the spirit of last year's committee is any crite rion of the attitude of the present investigators, tne Emerald is certain that the question will receive the sanction of that body. Afer this preliminary work the question becomes merely a matter of student approval before the faculty will receive the required ini tiative from the student body. The Emerald would like to “sing its song, at least.” In our statement of policy some isues past, we stated that we did not in tend to sit on ihe fence on any question of general student welfare, and now is our chance to hop off the fence. We favor the “honor system.” We believe in the student body of the University of Oregon, and think that an honor basis of ex aminations would be welcomed by a large majority of the students. A student who is always under the watchful eye of imposed au thority, whose self-inflicted duty it often is to doubt the students integrity and honor,is the very student most liable to try to slip one over on that authority. But if a system is established under which the student is treated as an honorable person, there is seldom any infringement. Moreover the system is an ideal one, in that it puts a student on his own honor, it develops a moral code that no longer sanctions any violation by any student and it awakens in the stu dent a loyalty that is high and enduring. For these reasons we espouse the system. But we do not believe in doing things by halves. If the honor system will work in one phase of college administration, it will work in other phases. And, conversely, if one phase of college work is put under the “dishonor system”—or. we should say “dis credit system”— because the faculty cannot see fit to trust the honor of the student body, then we say that no honor system will work. The “cut system” has always been a bone of adverse conten tion on the part of the student body and we stand for the abolition of the rule for many reasons, some of which have been stated be fore* and some of which will be stated in the near future. One of the reasons for antagonism toward the cut system is that it does not place absenteeism on an individual honor basis. For that rea son, the Emerald hopes that the Student Council will not approve the honor system unless the bill of approval contains a clause pro viding that the cut rule also have an honor basis and not the pres ent dishonor basis. The faculty states that the “honor system,” in order to be of any help, must be initiated by the student body. Along the same line we would suggest that the faculty, in hearty co-operation with the student body, take the initiative in putting attendance at classes on an individual honor basis. Patronize Emerald Advertisers. A’OIK FOR a business proposition. The Emerald is the offi cial publication of the student body, and its welfare depends on advertisers who are using the Emerald as a medium for business. On the amount of business that the Emerald can secure from its clientele—the students—for the advertisers, depends the size, qual ity and continuance of the publication. There is one—and only one—way in which this can be done. Patronize Emerald advertisers, and tell them that it was through the agency of the Emerald that they got the trade. Insist that the grocery houses who supply the eommestibles for fraternity tables, patronize student business—in other words, the Emerald. This is a plain “dollar and cents” proposition, and we urge cooperation from the stockholders in the Emerald.

NEARLY NEW CLUB BEGINS ANNUAL WORK Concert Tour Will Start De cember 27—Huang Sheng Is Bass Recruit. The year’s practice work of the Men’s Glee Club began with the re hearsal Monday afternoon. From now until the opening concert the club will practice every day; Tues day to be given over to a rehearsal of the combined Men’s and Women’s Glee Clubs. The personnel of the club is per manent only in a temporary way. The permanency is contingent upon the return of old members of the club. Practically a new organization faces the director, Dean Lyman, this year. But at that, he still retains his op timistic attitude toward the success of the club. No bright stars are conspicuous in this year’s make-up and the voices of Gillette, Vawter and Sprague will be missed. There are some versatile musicians in the personnel that will help toward a somewhat different entertainment thnn usual. The second bass section has a new recruit in the five feet of Ho Huang Sheng, direct. Harold Humbert is a new man in the baritone section and will do solo work. John Black has returned to school and has won back his place in the second bass section. He may also do some solo work. The only trip thus far arranged Is the annual tour of Eastern Ore gon. Leaving Portland Monday, December 27, the club will arrive in The Dalles and sing there that even ing. December 28 the club will ap pear In Pendleton, in l>a Grande the 29th, Baker the 30th and Hood River the 31st.
