Representative stu dents fee! this as well as members of the faculty. For some time there has been discussion ns to the best wey of meeting the situation, but the remedy has not been found It is unpleasant to admit that such a condition exists at the Uni versity thut measures must be taken to assure honesty in examinations. We should like to feel that all stu dents were honest in examinations, but in the last two or three years confidence has been shaken and the situation has grown worse instead of better. Some professors keep such vigilant watch on their students that cheating is impossible, but it is not a pleasant task to patrol the room, and so in some classes excellent ex amination papers are produced by a variety of shady methods. Some professors have tried the honor sys tem in their advanced classes, where it hus worked successfully. It may be harder to start the honor system in a large than in a small institution. It would have been well if the system had been started years ago and if all incom ing students learned with other tra ditions that of absolute honesty in examinations. The only possible way to attain the condition desired seems to be to have a group of representative men and women, perhaps the members of an oragnization already formed, band together with the purpose of estab lishing a system whereby cheating would be stamped out. Students would administer punishment after hearing individual cases of violation of the rules. We feel the reform should come from the students. The present state of affairs calls for change. Let us think of a way to meet the situation and when a remedy is found aid in making it a success. Plenty of men seem to be available to warble harmoniously under sleep ing porches, rain or shine. Why don't some of them show their college spirit and use their talents in the University chorus? Fountains should be allowed to spout occasionally, but the poor senior fountain has waited a long time to .-how her grace. Let’s turn on the water.

Let it be said at once that a splendid neucleus of students and townspeo ple are enthusiastically attending these rehearsals, but the apathetic and indifferent attitude of a great number of students is decidedly dis heartening. The main objective in writing this article is to call atten tion and arouse the interest of the : student body to this activity. That the University and city should have a strong Choral society is self evi dent. Every educational institution of any prominence in the country prides itself upon such an organiza tion. In fact many entirely incom parable to Oregon completely over shadow us. There is a wealth of material in and about the campus as is evidenc ed by the shimmering Pierrots sweetening the frosty midnight air. What a splendid force could be add e dto a deserving and legitimate' ac tivity by this co-operation! The short one hour of rehearsal per week could easily be given without interference with other duties. “Slim'’ Crandall spoke volumes in one of his classic “Jazz” talks when he said; “ ’Oregon Spirit’ is not something floating around up in the air, but something you have to get into your system.” It might be apropos to add that “Oregon Spirit,” or any other, is best exemplified by loyalty to activities. As such the Choral Society is worthy of the best support of every individual on the campus who sings. Proficiency in sightsinging or a great knowledge of music is unnecessary. Organizations and upperclassmen could do a tremendous service not only by setting an example of at tendance themselves, but by an abso lute insistence upon underclassmen who have ability along any line that they get into their respective ac tivities. A tradition would thereby be established and perpetuated which would be of great force to every activity on the campus. Get the habit and come out to these rehearsals on Tuesday even ings in the Y.

Attendance at two training camps is required of any cadet who re ceives a reserve commission through the work here. One session may be attended during the first two years, years, although it is not required. Here and There By S. C.

After this difficulty has been overcome we presume the next step will be to keep psssimists from ! "throwing bricks” at the millage tax | campaign.

If living costs go much higher, instead of get ting a college education and then making a fortune, the rising genera tion will have to make a fortune and then get a college education. • • - • The R. 0. T. C. held target prac tice last week with blank cartridges. When the order, “fire at will” was given one cadet almost suffocated in his own smoke. * * * Only one student out of a total of 98 has been taken off probation in spite of a wide range of excuses. A fortune awaits the fellow who can think up a reason or excuse that will run on its own steam. * * * Some of the Emerald carriers com plain that their profits are eaten up in shoe leather wasted. Why not buy a pair of roller skates? * • • Some students spend as much at $50 per month for amusements. Father must certainly think his son has a “high” sense of humor. • * * A military society is about to be formed on the campus. Why not call it “The R- O. T. C. Legion?” * * * There seems to be a great abund ance of colds on the campus. Per haps this might be prevented to some extent if so many fellows would not insist in walking down “hello lane” bareheaded. It takes energy to pump the right arm but if often saves a cold. * • * The women of the University are reported to live cheaper than the men. Wait until the men are mar ried and most of them will live cheaper than their wives. * * * University professors may be graded and the grades sent to their wives. Here’s a chance for tbe sin gle professor to laugh, although he will probably have to scan the Ad ministration building bulletin board for “posts” just like the others. • • • We would like to hear a professor’s wife ‘inspiring” him to inspire his students.
