A CHEATING INCIDENT.
Summary discipline lias been imposed at Yale University
on Sheffield Scientific School sophomores convicted of cheat
ing in examinations. Eight were expelled after several hear
ings before the student council, and thirteen others were placed
on probation for not reporting them under the honor system
used at Yale. . ,
The Yale Daily News carried an editorial the morning fol
lowing tlie announcement of the findings of the student coun
cil which said in part: “The very fact ot these dismissals
indicates that students are taking things in hand and that
cribbing is being completely eliminated. The case has been
discussed for several months, every bit of evidence completely
weighed, and the decision was the inevitable result of proof.”
In the words of the chairman of the student council, these
men “have been thoroughly disgraced in the eyes of their
classmates. They have packed their belongings and got out,
and we don’t want to hear of them again.”
The undergraduate cheater is meeting such treatment ev
erywhere. He is distinctly a parasite among other students.
The action of the Yale students maintains the best ideals of
undergraduate honor, but as the students were only sopho
mores, the incident cannot be taken to mean that all college
students are subject to training which makes them regard
cheating as morally right.
It is not so much what th£ college has made of these men
as what their home and school life has made them, as college
sophomores are but little removed from home influence and
preparatory training. These students could not have in the
short time they had been in college have developed character
traits which made them cheat, and the cause of their actions
must be sought in their previous rearing rather than in their
college environment.
0 ceasionally a cheater will go through college to his senior
ye'ar 'before he is discovered. A confession from him would
iikely show that he had cheated throughout his college course,
attd that htis trait had not grown on him while assimilating
college education. It would show, much as this Yale incident
showed, that many of the things for which colleges are blamed
are more properly attributable to the looser discipline and
lower standards of responsibility of life outside the colleges.
Under the new A. S. IT. (). constitution, there are several
activity committees to be appointed soon. It is more than
likely that several of us know certain students who should be
on one of these committees, and it is our duty as loyal Oregon
students to see that those in charge of these selections know of
them. It is also unlikely that such a small group as will name
these, important committees can make satisfactory selections
unless students aid them by proposing prospective candidates
for places on these committees. It is asked that such requests
be submitted to one of the two student members who will make
the selections before Thursday noon. If there is any reason
why someone you know should be on one of these committees,
see to it that he is considered.
It. is with a feeling of pride in his state University that a
citizen of the state of Oregon picks up a hook written by a
member of the faculty of the University. Members of the fac
ulty who are producers as well as instructors not only help the
University by creating a feeling of pride among the people of
the state but they instill a quiet confidence that comes with
the knowledge that those who can produce are ably qualified
to instruct.

GIRLS' RENDEZVOUS
Young Women Get Acquaint
ed In Homey Environment.
The Y. W. C. A. bungalow at the Uni-1
versity of Oregon is one .of the organiza
tions that contributes largely to the
democratic spirit prevalent among the)
University students, by furnishing a com
mon meeting place for all the women on
the campus. .Here the girls gather for
their good times, and they have lots of
them; meet the other girls, and. perhaps
best of all. have the opportunity of com
ing in personal :oir;a -t wifii Miss Tiiza
Hinsdale, secretary, always a friend and
adviser.
Everyone can belong; that is the best
part of it, and nearly ail of the girls do.
At the first of the year they have a
membership drive, and this year more'
than 400 girls pledged their snonof. Thu
pledge service is lovely and starts ail the
girls out together.
Then meetings begin and every week
the girls get together, drink top, talk,
and list'-n to someone chi talk who
understands all the problems of a college
girl. At the end of the fall term it is
no longer a question of getting acquaint
ed; everyone knows all the others.
Good times aren’t everything in the Y.
W. C. A., though. They are just part
of the things that make it such a popular
place. Many girls wish employment, and
(Miss Hinsdale, with the aid of Louise
■Davis, her assistant, helps these girls
find good places to work. This espec
ially refers to the freshman because the
upperclassmen often get permanent po
sitions which they keep from year to
year. During the first five months, be
ginning with October. 230 positions were
filled (til permanent), netting $10,000.
Of these positions, housework covered
•15 per cent, stenographic 23 per cent,
care of children 13 per cent, and miscel
laneous 0 per cent.
