The Honor System Again T ISTEN to Hie testimony of fin Oregon student — “The honor system works at other schools, but it wonldn t, work at Oregon.” This statement was made in answer 1o a recent survey by Professor L. F. Heck in an adolescent, psy chology class. Professor Beck wanted student reaction to the question of respect for the honor system at flit* University if the instructor leaves flic room. Another “loyal” University undergraduate explained that, “I never had the inclination to cheat, until I came to Oregon.” Why does attendance at the University of Oregon bring out the worst in a student? Why should the fact that he clioscs to gain his education here rather than at, some similar institution make him change from an honest man into a crook? This school has no worse character than other institu tions—it is not a productive agent for the championship of wrong over right. # * * * 'JpiIAT cribbing is present is an admitted fact. That it is a question which needs attention is also admitted. But, Oregon is no worse than many sister institutions. Students here are from the same mold that sends members 1o the student bodies at, Oregon State, (lit1 normal schools, and dozens of other colleges in Oregon and throughout the United States. More important, there are unusual evidences of the in tegrity of the honor system here at the University. The law school provides an outstanding example. Willi only one exam each term, with each exam four hours long,'law students feel that they can’t afford to risk a, term’s work and perhaps their career on some fellow student cheating for a grade. They have a definite and effective method of handling such students, taken generally, SO per cent admit no cribbing, 8 per cent admit it for only one time, 24 per cent, admit it on quizes hut not on finals, Ti per cent on some final exams, and fi per cent admit if as a constant pract ice. The psychologist further states, and this should he of interest to freshmen, that cheating may he expected from 25 per cent of the bright students, I!5 per cent of the average, and 75 per cent of the dull ones. She points out that it is from this latter group that most of the stimulus for cribbing comes. « # # # J^ISTTNCTION of cribbing from other forms of dishonesty, psychologists find, is that the guilty do not regard it as a deeply immoral net. They feel as long as those who do cheat get better marks than those who do not, and that many are guilty, there is no harm in them doing it also. The psy chologists, however, agree that a person's cheating on an exam is no indication that lie would commit a more serious crime. Oregon isn't the only school guilty of having cribbers— no institution is above reproach. The point is that the prac tice will end only when students realize that they arc injuring themselves, that they are aiding in promotion of a sense of immorality, and that they cannot possibly gain anything from the work but a grade. It would indeed be a tribute, not to the University, hut to students themselves if the honor system would work in all schools as it does among the neophyte lawyers. The institu tion should not get the blame because the system does not work—it should not he given all the credit if it did. Respons ibility rests not with the institution hut with quality of stu dent character.—I’.B. Ambrose, the shack hanger-on, asks whether the title chosen for the campus musical comedy, “With Fear and Trembling,” had anything to do with the trepidation felt by the producers who want to fill the house at $1.50 and $1.00 a head. Art Building Court To Get New Frescoes By Student Artists Architecture, painting, pottery, sculpture, and weaving will be de picted in the frescos which will be painted on the panels in the court of the art building by five upper division students, it was learned recently. Each student will design and paint one of the phases of the arts. Lance W. Hart, Andrew M. Viu cent, and David J. McCoah of the art department will judge the de signs which are being sketched now. Tlie figures in the frescos will subscribe to a common size. The work is to be done in a serious vein, with no free modernism. The frescos are to be painted on fresh plaster. The plaster must be made of washed river sand and mixed with pure white lime, en tirely free from Impurities. The painting of the frescos will not begin until next- term, — - Student Vote in Churches’ Economic Plebescite Favors Government Jobs, Unions, Cooperatives, Results Show Student members of the 700 Congregational and Christian churches voted 4530 to 987 in favor of “provision hy government of jobs for those unable to find work in private employ1’ according to the final returns in a nation-wide economic plebescite conducted by the Council for Social Action of the churches and announced today. The result of the poll, made public by Dr. Dwight J. Bradley, executive director of the coun cil, showed that nearly one-sixth of the total national vote of .32,580 had been cast by student members of the church. The total vote was a little more than 3 per cent of the total membership of more than 1,000,000. Many Say “No Christian Issue” In addition to the vote for and against the provision of government jobs, 456 students voted that no Christian issue was involved in the ques tion. Other questions and their votes among the stu dents were. 2. Use of federal measures to support agricul tural prices; for 3237, against 1980. 3. Organization of labor into national unions; for 2697, against 2462. 4. The maintenance or increase of tariffs and other trade barriers; for 2138, against 2944. 5. The further extension of public ownership of electric utilities; for 3472, against 1688. 6. Organization of consumer cooperatives; for 3948, against 1195. 7. The further social control of our economic system; for 3227, against 1919. Voting in the plebiscite began November 13, 1938. Ballots were received from 700 churches. Tn some cases the questions were discussed by the members generally, in others in special discussion groups; and the ballots represent the opinions of only those persons who chose to vote. I)un and Bradstreet Man Conducts The plebiscite was conducted by the church group under the auspices of a committee of which Willard L. Thorp, director of economic research for Dun and Bradstreet, was chairman. Each voter was asked to indicate his sex, age group (15-20, 21-35, 36-50, and 51 and over), occupation, and whether an employer or an employe. The occupa tions listed for checking were agriculture, business, white-collar worker, professional, housewife, stu dent, labor (skilled and unskilled) and unemployed. Dr. Bradley, eommeting upon the plebiscite and the objectives of the Council for Social Action, said: Information on Questions Riven “One thousand one hundred eighty-seven of our churches ordered material for the taking of the economic plebiscite and organized discussion groups to acquaint their members with all sides of the questions as a preliminary to voting, and 700 of them returned ballots. “The vote indicates a very intelligent evalua tion of the issues and a growing social conscious ness on the part of many of our members in direct proportion to a similar spirit of growth in our whole nation. “Some of the congregations, after thoroughly studying the questions, felt that more time was necessary for economic study before they felt equal to voting intelligently, while other churches voted not to go on record. In many instances, interest among those non-voting congregations was so keen that many indiivdual members returned the ballots direct to the Council for Social Action. Council Directs Christians’ Actions “The Council for Social Action is an agency of the Congregational and Christian churches in the United States, set up to help bring an informed Christian conscience to bear upon the issues of modern life. It aims also to awaken the people in the churches to a keener sense of their social responsibility; and by a process of education, based on sound research, to prepare the minds of churchmen for more effective participation in public affairs in the interests of justice, fair play and increased good will.” In the Mail GATE OR GATES To the Editor: It is three o’clock on the Uni versity of Oregon campus, one of the quietest, most beautiful of college campuses. I am at last seated in my econ class and the cars outside have just fin ished their hourly barrage of horn blowing, tooting at sever al inconsiderate students who insist on walking across a pub lic highway to get to classes. I have been hoping that they would quit because at 3:10 the city bus will roar by drowning out most of the professor’s lec ture. I am particularly fortu nate today because that “Card” with the new Super V8 must have Ieit town. This fellow, be ing of an unselfish nature, wishes to share his pleasure with all his fiat brothers and girl friends so he drives up and down the street, tooting at them all. All is serene now except for the noise of several trucks go ing down the street whose mo notonous rumbling produces quite a stimulating effect. I of ten realize how lucky I am to have the city bus route go by directly outside the window. When the busses roar along it is impossible to hear anything else, and I am sure that for this reason I miss many disagree able sounds. By the time that I have ad justed myself to this new tran quility it is time for the class to end, but because of a new series of screech brakes and blaring horns, the professor misses the bell and keeps us there until the noise in the halls becomes louder than that in the street, which makes him realize the class should have been out ten minutes ago. Of course I will be late for the next class, but then the prof has gotten used to that and outside of his daily grimace will continue talking. Perhaps you are wondering by this time what the little point is behind all this. It is only this: Through some unof ficial source, I believe it was the Kmerald, I learned that the dads were planning to erect a gate to the campus. Why not erect gates on all sides and keep out street from being public driveways at least during the hours of from 8 to 5 ? 1 think this merits careful consideration from the Univer sity and from the dads. Of course I have thought of the matter of constructing subways, the campus engineers seem to be so good at it, but there is a slight disadvantage to that too. In spite of the popularity that these subways would'undoubt ed ty have for* meeting the girl friend between classes, they would have to be swept and cleaned and the campus can’t bold any more WPA workers at present. Undoubtedly this is an old is sue but I don’t see why we can't have some action on it. Perhaps some worthy group will make a motion that we flow the Wil lamette river through the cam pus—at least the boats wouldn’t make as much noise as the auto traffic. Sayonara.

XEWT Dr. Clark Gets Book By Former UO Prof Dr. R. C. Clark, head of the his tory department, has received a copy of “Clippers and Consuls” from Dr. Eldon Griffith, history instructor at the University from 1920 to 1922, and author of the book.. The book deals with American consular and commercial relations with eastern Asia from 1815 to 1860. “Consular and commercial history are conveniently treated together,” Dr. Griffin says in the preface. Dr. Griffin received his Ph.D. degree from Yale university. He taught for several years in Japan and has been for a time with the University of Washington. He taught in the University session at Portland last summer, Dr. Clark said. The book will be used as refer ence for history courses dealing with the Far East, according to Dr. Clark. WAA council will meet Wednes day at 5 p.m. in the physical educa tion social room in Gerlinger hall. Looking Back.... With WILBUR BTSnOP One year ago—Several cases of smallpox developed on the campus, and 78 men from Sher ry Hors hall and Kappa Sigma have been exposed to the dis ease. Five years ago—The people of Oregon are interested in the character and type of student produced by Oregon’s higher in. stitutions of learning, rather than the mechanics of organiza tion and the location of the schools. This was the essence of a speech made by Chancellor W. J. Kerr. Ten years ago—The Junior Vodvil, student-written and stu dent-produced comedy present ed annually during the spring term as the first event of the Junior Weekend, will be in the form of a musical comedy it was decided at a meeting of the Junior Weekend directorate. Twenty-five years ago—Jour nalism laboratory work will be introduced into the University curriculum next term, it was announced by Professor Eric W. Allen of the journalism de partment, who has arranged for two courses, freshman and ad vance laboratory. Religious Group Talk Jewish Plight The much talked Jewish situa tion was the topic of discussion at a joint meeting of the YWCA and the YMCA last Monday night. Lois Onthank presented the neg ative side of the question and Bet ty Lou Kurtz spoke on the affirma tive.
