Pay Editor This lame—Miriam Shepard Night RcMlor Thi* /•*■*-- Lloyd Horn Antotant Night Editor*— Warren Tinker WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1928 Prudent Precautions For a Lean Year IN accordance with immemorial tradition, tho University’s new dormitory undertaking was fittingly observed when excavation was be gun the other day. Ground-breaking ceremonies of this nature are usually auspicious. They mark the realization of a happily conceived vision. But instances may occur when actually they are portentous. When President Hall turned that first shovol-ful of earth over, the University practically embarked on a program whose ramification's will touch overy corner of the organiza tion. There is nothing startling in that; few projects do not extend a certain amount of influence that far. But the dormitory plan will inevitably overturn the student living situation as it 1ms been known for many years. For with tho dormitory accommodations comes a problem of delicate adjust' ment among tho fraternities or else they will suffer. Many of tho freshmen who come down to the Univorsity next fall may never know what a fraternity house-bill is because they will bo boarded and housed by tho Univer sity. That may bo no loss for tho new men, but it is a sorious menace to the living organizations. It sim ply means that a spring pledging campaign must bo waged with at tendant overcrowding, or that a method of introducing the proposed rushing regulations gradually must bo perfected. As yet the matter is not at all in the clear. But it demands atten tion before the season lias advanced too far. It must be acknowledged by University authorities that campus living organizations linvo been the solution and the salvation of the student living problem in the past. And a just recognition of this service to the University would dictate a considerate solicitude for their welfare during the crisis of adjustment. All fraternities will Buffer financial distress if a mod erate form of restricted rushing is not permitted. The popularity of the present halls of residence as student living , quarters shows that the new dormi tory will not suffer for lack of patrons. Neither does it seem im perative to us that the personnel must comprise freshmen only for the lirst year. If a considerate pol icy is adopted by. the administra tion, there is no reason why either a drouth of pledges or a shortage of men for the dormitories must ensue. We Have With Us Today—The Cheat IIY do students cheat in ex aminations? What can be •done to put a stop to the practice? The question is one which has been the subject of many remedial at tempts but still remains a puzzler to students and faculty alike. The more common proceedure has been to try either rigid polico methods during the examination period or to introduce the honor system. The result has been that the police methods have aroused the ire of student bodies as wholes and that the honor system has demon strated that many students are without honor when it co^eB to Writing examinations. Also, stu dents balk at informing on their fellows who are not above cheating, a feature usually included in plans for honor systems. For policing the classroom and the honor system, Edward A. Col lier, writing in the University of Denver Clarion, would substitute student loyalty to the professors. This loyalty, he says, is to be cre ated by the professor making him self a “good fellow.” Mr. Collier leaves it to his rend ers to figure out how this Joyalty to the professor lifts the students to a plane from which they WilJ nolt stoop to cheat when the “good fel low” gives them a difficult exam ination. Perhaps it is intended that, the teacher become so good a fel low as to give an examination that oven the poorest of studonts could pass without more than half trying. It does sound interesting but we are afraid it will not work. Wo have known professors who were “good fellows” and we have seen cheating carried,,on in their exam inations. It is said that (he policing of a classroom causes cheating on the part of students who would not do so otherwise. Such may be tho case with a few. Most students who cheat do so because they do not have the requisite knowledge stored away in their brains and it is a resort to the sole means left to their disposal by which they can make a grado at the last moment. When n student is reduced to cheating, he is not likely to stop and consider whether he has a personal like or dislike for the particular instructor giving the examination. Some day, perhaps, a genius will come forward with a plan that will put a stop to all cribbing. For the present, or at least as long as grades are what the average student strives to attain, it seems that such a. plan will have to be a scheme which will guarantee the student’s learning enough that he will no longer feel the necessity to cheat. —W.C. Floyd Dell Lectures On Campus March 6 Floyd Dell, author and journalist, who rvas to lecture March 7, for the A. S. II. O. lecture series, noti fied .Jack \V.

Library Gets Works Of Lafcadio Ilearu A lover of the bizarre was Laf cadio Hearn, American author and journalist. Hearn lived in Japan, became Yakumo Koizumi, :l Japan ese subject, married a J ups nose wo man, Sctsuko, and adopted tho reli gion, customs aud ideals of the Ori ent. His hive of the beautiful, his uu- ! derstamling of the Orientul mind, and his power of vivid description { combined to give to tlie world some valuable and worth-while literature iii folk lore, philosophy and journal istic writings. The west claims him a*, its own but it was for the ea^ that lie lived and died. A new 16-volume set of his “Life and Works” has been received at the library.

Scream Cohn, In a fit of rage ate up the last chapter, a description of an apple orchard, to appease his ap petite. When he remembered that there were caterpillars on the ap ples, he grew alarmed and called the University doctor. Some of the papers are said to have lodged in his throat, but at a late hour this afternoon, men who were trying to spear them with a gaff-hook said that none of the papers had been recovered. Subscribers of the Emerald, fear ing that the Angle Worm’s Revenge could not now be published, have besieged the Emerald office threat ening cancellation of their subscrip tions. Mr. Cohn is Bald to be in grave danger of mob violence as he is being protected by the Eugene police force.
