A POINT OF HONOR
The honor system, or some sys
tem which will prevent cheating in
examinations, is needed urgently at
the University. 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.

THE CHORAL SOCIETY
■ To the Editor:
The Choral Society recently or
I ganized on the campus for the pur
pose of presenting a large choral
' work during the spring term has
! met with a varied response. 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. M. C. A. hut at 7:30

weeks, according to Captain R. C.
Baird, commandant.
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.

Our chief difficulty in erecting the
woman’s building used to be in se
curing enough human “bricks.” Now
the chief difficulty is in securing the
real article. After this difficulty has
been overcome we presume the next
step will be to keep psssimists from
! "throwing bricks” at the millage tax
| campaign. Just one brick after an
other.

Student living costs have increased
42 per cent since 1915. 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.
