STUDENT SELF-GOVERNMENT.
The question of student self-government and the honor sys
tem was again brought before the Associated Students
yesterday morning. President Campbell spoke at length on
the plan, urged the early adoption by the students of the self
government plan similar to that used by the students of many
of the larger institutions of the country,
Oregon will eventually try out self-government and the
honor system—that much is certain. But before the plan is
adopted, every student in the University of Oregon should
give the matter real serious thought,, realize the responsibili
ties the adoption of this movement would throw upon such in
dividual student, and make up their minds whether Oregon is
ready or not.
Belf-governmcnt, as the Emerald sees it, involves two
phases: Discipline and the honor system. The first phase
means that all matters of student discipline which now come
under the jurisdiction of the faculty committee in charge,
Would be handled by a student committee. The honor system
means that every student in the University pledges himself
wot to cheat in examinations.
Student self-government is based on the idea that students
must check up on each other. The American boy instinct of
hitting the “tattler,” has made the plans of self-government
go awry in many institutions. But it has been overcome in
Many more. Once that instinct is overcome, self-government
catinot fail to be a success.
* Just because student self-government lias been adopted in
priaotically every large institution in the country is no reason
the University of Oregon should blindly adopt the measure.
The question will undoubtedly be brought up at the next meet
ihif of the Associated Students. In the meantime avail your
self of every opportunity to study up on the matter.
The program of class meetings during the past few days
haa been rather strong. But no member of any class can af
ford to be on the outside of anything bis class is doing. Class
sfrjrit is second only to Oregon Spirit. New students wiho are
dot acquainted with this fact will likely have it brought home
tb them permanently sometime Saturday afternoon. Class
spirit is big. Get it! j
Open practice will be held on Kincaid field one night a
week—Wednesday, which means in plain English that on
lookers are not welcome at varsity practice at any other time j
during the week. Secret practice is necessary if Oregon is to
have a winning team this year. Don’t wait for the coaches to
a6k you to leave. Watch the team practice on Wednesdays. !
