Honor Code--lf and How
A good idea that needs individual planning, group acceptance
and organized planning to work is an explosive thing on a col
lege campus.
Such a basically good idea making the rounds of campus con
versation is an honor code for Oregon. It’s been under observa
tion here at least since 1947, under committee since 1951 and de
spite a moral defeat in the Spring 1952 vote, when it only pulled
a 52.1 majority, it is still with us today.
Unlike many of the ideas which-are hit upon here, an honor
code is not one which can be legislated and put to work in a
wave of the gavel. Students must first become acquainted
with their responsibilities and duties under an honor system.
Orientation is the first step toward a working honor code and
it should be planned with the nature of the goal in mind. A
■straightforward program, honest in itself, is needed to convince
students that Oregon could profit by a working honor code.
The honor code will be as good as its orientation—a shaky
inauguration won’t attain the hoped-for results.
In setting up an honor system, the idea of starting out on a
piecemeal plan has received consideration. Having it origin
ate in one school and then gradually enter into the various de
partments one at a time, looks like a sound suggestion at first
glance. After all, it is working in the law school on campus
. right now.
But consider the confusion this would result in. Xo cheating
in one test because this department endorses the honor system—
but go right ahead in another department. This hardly repre
sents an honorable or logical means to an end.
Many persons seem to feel Oregon could never carry out an
honor system—so why try it if it’s just to keep up academically
with the Joneses of college education?
But an honor code could mean much more to Oregon. Pro
moting an attitude toward honesty that might eventually re
sult in an honor code should begin with developing pride in
the school and its traditions. An honor code would be a final
step in this direction.
We’re concerned with a good sound orientation for Oregon—
not the “rah-rah” technique, but an informative long-range cam
paign, with the final decision up to the students.
We’d like to see Oregon with an honor code, if the basis for
"one can be soundly achieved.—(P.G.)

UNSOPHISTICATED
Japan Report
Given By Dull
“Some of the most honest,
agreeable and unsophisticated
people I have ever come in contact
with are the Japanese people with
whom I worked last year,” reports
Paul S. Dull, associate professor
in history and political science.
Dull, on sabbatical leave last
year, did research work among
the Japanese people in the south
ern part of Honshu, largest island
of the Japanese group. He was
sponsored by the Social Science
Research council, the Ford Board
for Overseas Training and Re
search, the University of Oregon
Graduate council and a private
grant.
He worked as a research asso
ciate for the University of Michi
gan center for Japanese studies in
Okayama City. Field interviews
with Japanese people in the area
around the center provided mater
ial for his research on the politi
cal behavior of Japanese farmers,
their political institutions and or
ganization. According to Dull, very
few people have ever studied these
characteristics of Japanese life.
Dull worked with other investi
gators from the center in Oka
yama City who concentrated on
other phases of Japanese culture.
“This part of Japan has been rel
atively untouched by the American
occupation forces’ influence. It
could be called the center of old
Japanese culture," he said.
“The people are almost ignorant
of world affairs and have been
practically untouched by modern
civilization, but I've never before
met such honest and personable
people,” Dull recalled. "They
would think nothing of impover
ishing themselves to give us gifts.”
One family presented its ances
tral kimono to Dull’s small daugh
ter when Dull and his family left
to return to the United States.
Dull’s wife and two girls, one 4
years old and one 5 months, stayed
with him at the research center
in Okayama City. His wife stud
ied painting in the old Japanese
style while there.
"I've traveled extensively be
fore in the Orient, but this past
year gave me the opportunity to
‘dig deep' in one place, something
I’d never been able to do before,”
Dull stated. "Rather than seeing
everything, I got to know the com
mon man.”
Dull, who received his Ph.D.
at Washington and has been at
Oregon since 1946, was recently
appointed director of the Univer
sity’s Museum of Oriental Art.
Using his wide background in
Oriental history, he will handle
the administration of the museum
and the development of its pro
gram.
