~7<4e ^Ueatalt aud GimmcJt (Continued from page two) As the Partisan Review magazine so aptly remarked—maybe Hollywood thinks the only liberal Southerners speak with a'North ern accent. The story is that of a negro accused of mur dering a white man and the attempts of three persons who believe in his innocence and his right to justice to stop the Southern crowd from lynching him. The story is a marked revolt from the tradi tional type of Plollywood plot (the traditional type that is slowly becoming not so tradi tional), and was a risk on the part of the stu dio—MGM, which was taking a chance on losing at the box-office. And that is a chance MGM seldom takes. However they apparently knew what they were doing, because the film has met with ’ audience approval whenever it has been shown. There’s fodder for Jimmy Fidler and his “good pictures make good money” argument which he uses every other day or so. Campus Forum Holds Panel On Cheating “This was the first time I ever cheated. Honest!” This typical statement made by students caught cheating was the main point of a panel discussion held Friday night by the Campus Forum. H. R. Taylor, head of the psy chology department, brough forth the faculty point of view while -^Sfoan Mimnaugh, Anne Case, and Jim Sanders discussed student opinions. Faculty members think that to cut down on cheating, objective tests are the most effective, Tay lor said. The student debaters felt that difficult essay tests would be the only solution. Of the honor system the stu dents had but one comment, “I’m on my honor to get the best grades I can.” The discussion brought out that cheating exists on this campus. Although it doesn’t compare to or ganized cheating elsewhere, it should be made as difficult as pos sible, forum members felt.
