(CoiitiiiM'd from I'nije three) wlmt action would bo taken on the part of those most vitally In terested In having the case re viewed and In an adverse answer brought back to the court.? HAMPTON: Being a campus “star," has nothing to do with It. Students are treated as Individ uals and would be treated as such on the particular merits of the case. There have tieen many Instan ces where well-known students have been charged with some sort of violation and they have been treated as students com pletely without consideration of the position they hold on campus. This isn’t a question of letting the campus "stars" off easy. If a rumpus "star" cheats, why should he not receive the same punish ment as an unknown person does ? AMBERS: You are stating a position Ideally, and ideally that would be the ease. But it hasn’t been the case in other institu tions at other |lmes. Men Aren't Gods NEUBEK: You’io saying if men were gods this Is the way it would work. I’m still unconvinced that men are gods. Men are mor tal. HAMPTON: Were definitely not saying men are gods. You’re assuming that human nature is basically bad. We’re assuming it’s basically good. NEUBER: I’m assuming that human nature Is both hud and good, neither basically hail or basically good hut hud and good according to circumstances and according to Individuals. HAMPTON: The progress our society has made demonstrates tiiat man is basically good and not that man is basically bad or good and/or both. I can’t sec how any progress could have been made under your assump tion. NEUBEK: How do you explain all the unpleasant occurrences that have gone with progress, if man is basically good? KKOEE: Perhaps we ought to narrow this down and talk about man on the University of Oregon rumpus Instead < i inun ns a whole mill iiiulii' our it-.sumption I Ik i t', IIXMI’TON: la It the aiisump tion by the opposition that the Students lit the University of Oregon are on a lower Intellec tual caliber than those at other academic Institutions, such as Heed or Stanford? AMIUCItS: Not to my mind, at any rate, NKl’BKH: Nor mine. I don't think that is a meaningful point. That la one of your straw argu ments, AMBEItS: Ah far as I’m con cerned, whether or not a student will cheat is not a matter of his intelligence per sc but It is a matter of motivation. If he is hanging on by a thread at staying in the Institution und he wants to stay, he will use any method to stay, The same holds true if he is In the honor roll bracket and is living on a schol arship because of his honor toll standing and sees it chance that he will lose his living by being ^ li ft off the honor roll. (■Ol'I.I): I agree that some peopte are going to cheat In each bracket. However, we should keep In mind that one of the honor code’s objectives Is to cut down on cheating. What we are trying to instill is a pint and a tradition of honor, la that Instance wc are optimistic in your eyes. Use Any Method We ll never know until we try It. In other places it has been proven that spirit can be instilled. Iiy instilling that spirit you create a spirit through which those who are on the borderline of cheating or not cheating can lie swayed to not cheating. If that atmosphere prevailed a per son would not cheat I mean middle-of-the-road person. I grunt Hint sou'll still liaso the fringes. After nil, now sse hnse a fringe of people who will not cheat, no matter what, and we also hase a fringe of people who wilt cheat, no matter what. It is the middle people that we think the honor system can help In that tradition which we hope to establish. oreign Students Win Club Offices Marc Delemme, sophomore in iditical science from France, was lected president of the Cosmo >olitan club at its first spring neeting Friday at Plymouth louse.
