Mitchelmore Assistant Night Editors— doe Rice TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1928 ISot Just Because ‘It’s Good for You9 FOR more tli,'in a decade American critics have wrestled with the problem of cultural dualism. The unmistakeabio distinction of the “highbrow” as opposed to the “low I row”, they say, is the popular in dication of a confusion all too rec ognizable in those who flaunt sub lime ideals while their methods are meanly “practical.” Education is not the least of the sufferers from this ubiquitous mal ady. And as a result, learning has grown barren because educational curricula have been disassociated toil radically from living. The tow cring sunflower of extra-curricular activities has sprung full blown from the educational field while it. has lain fallow in pedantry. The state university is properly the mentor of the entire state, and its responsibilities are by no means discharged when it lias merely min istcrcd to its enrolled students. It is a clearing house for state ideas and problems, practical-mud cultural. Beiiificiently it influences state nr-I livitres by means of this intercourse,] anti in return is invigorated in its| own life by these real contacts. Left undisturbed, a compact uni versity group quickly grows self centered. And it continues to be! unaware of its affliction until in- j ter rupted. As hostess to a number Of high ; school students next week-end, Ore gon unavoidably is to be disturbed.! And by glancing over the narrow! column rule partition thut separates j us from our witty neighbor, we have observed thut cvelvuue does not relish this particular interruption.. It is not merely that the high school eouforenco is good for ns that we should accept it. But that it is a lively and real part of college life. And its success will be the measure of Oregon's abilrtv to con vert her precepts into actualities. We are confident that, individually and collectively, Oregon ran make her principles authentic realities. Honor Systems And Honor WHKN is an honor spirit an honor spirit ! When it is merely another scheme to allay the evils of cribbing in examinations? American colleges ami unixeisi t;es have been experimenting with the problem for many years, ami have yet to find a solution which will truly solve the question. Many systems have been put into prac tice for a while, only to prove in adequate. One picks up college newspapers to read that this institu tion has adopted a plan and that its neighbor has decided to abandon one just like it. The hunt goes on with scarce an indication of real progress. This month sees the inauguration of an attempted Solution by the Uni versity of California at Bos Angeles. After an investigation of the honor system as in use at the University of California, Berkeley, the Los An geles institution decided to adopt it as a model for its own venture in solving the problem. The use of alternate seats during examinations, placing of all note books on the floor and refraining bum absenting oneself from the -loom the room oftener than neces sary daring the course of the ex-] animation, are a few of the gov erning precepts laid down by the et mmiltee in charge. The Daily Bruin, student news paper of the l . C. L. -V., carried the following statement last week: “The California Honor Spirit, the highest tradition of the University of California, places every student on his honor to conduct himself willingly in complete accord with the highest principles of personal in tegrity. ’ ’ So far, so good. But in another portion of the same issue, there ap pears a notice telling the students where to obtain blanks for use in informing on violators of tire coda. Of course there will be informers, and justly so. When a new law is put into effect, it is incumbent upon all citizens to do their share toward its enforcement. Many take this duty seriously. Many do not. They feel that the work of enforcement rest with paid workers. Just as it can not be denied that such an at titude is wrong, neither can it be said that it does not exist. The same is true with student tion o> systems in examination. Students who would not under anv circum stances cheat in an examination, will not inform on fellow . .students who do. they feel that the cheater hurts no one but himself and are willing that lie take ttie consequences such as they may be, later iii life. The small number of students who are punished for their infractions of the honor spirit is not sufficient to definitely curb the practice of cheating. A real solution may he forthcoming, perhaps, but there will probably be a change in tinman na ture before then. \V. ('.

PHI DELT BASKETEERS BEAT WILLAMETTE TWICE (By Clothes Press Sports Editor) On two successive nights in Mc Arthur Court the crack basketball team of Phi Delta Theta displayed flashes of brilliance, and on two successive nights the Willamette Bearcats left the same floor on the short end of scores separated by goodly margins. Coach Bill Reinhart, commenting on the team after the games, said a basketball court is under construc tion in the Phi Delt attic, and that constant practise at all hours of the day and night will greatly help in whipping the quintet into form for the opening conference game, Janu ary 21, against Idaho.

C No use trying to put a definition around Camel. It is as diverse and fugitive as the delicate tastes and fragrances that Nature puts in her choicest tobaccos, of which Camel is rolled. Science aids Nature to be sure by blending the tobaccos for subtle smoothness and mildness. One way to' describe Camels is just to say, “They are good!” Sometow, news of Camel has got around. Each smoker telling the other, we suppose. At any rate, it s first—in popularity as well as quality. It has beaten every record evec made by a smoke. Modern smokers have; lifted it to a new world leadership. Camels request a place in your apprecia tion. Try them upon every test known. You’ll find them always loyal to your high est standard. “Have a Camel!” © 1927 K . J „ REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, W J iy c T 0 N. S A LEM, N.' C<
