O.A.C. Honor System Interesting Schools That every high school student should be familiar with the princi pies of a student honor system is the belief of the 0. A. C. student body as expressed by its honor coun cil. ; ' The purpose of such a system is to foster and maintain a high stand ard of honor among all students in academic work, both high school and college. At 0. A. C. the honor sys tem is under the exclusive adminis tration of the student body, its ac tion being subject only to the ap proval of the president of the col lege. It applies to every registered student and prevails in the adminis tration of all academic student af fairs, including examinations, class work and written assignments. Realizing that the final success of any honor system depends largely on the removal of causes of dishon esty, the committee emphasizes the following provisions: "Students observing or having knowledge of any violation of the honor system are in honor bound to report such violations to the chair man of the honor committee. - ' ; ''Students observing practices in the course of an examination that appear to be a violation of the honor system but who are not certain of such violation, may tap audibly on tbe desk as a warning, but such warning shall not be deemed neces sary before reporting obvious viola tions. . "The accused shall be notified: in. each case to appear before the com mittee and enter a plea, but in ense he fails to appear, or to submit ac ceptable explanation, he is auto matically suspended from the insti tution. "Penalty for violation of the honor system shall not be less than the loss of five college credits, nor more than expulsion from the institution. Pub-( lication of the name of the offender with the summary of the evidence may be included in the penalty impos ed by the committee. All sentences shall be final, subject only to the ap proval of the president of the col lege." The success of the 0. A. C. honor system has been made '. more out standing by the fact that such a sys tem has recently failed at several large institutions in the west. I The Social Side STRAUSS' OPERETTA "The Waltz Dream," from Oscar Strauss' famous Operetta by that name, will be presented at the Stand ard Theatre, tomorrow night with Willy Fritsch, Xenia Desni and Mady Christians in the leading roles. This is something new to the . screen, a German made picture. Sunday night Renee Adoree and Ralph Graves come in "Blarney" a line Metro Goldwyn picture. Wednesday night Harriett Beecher Stowe's "My Wife and I," will be the attraction. KILLED IN GUN ACCIDENT Oran Crayne, 16 year old Pendleton high school boy, was instantly killed near Reith Sunday while hunting ducks, when his shot gun, slipping from his hand struck a rock and went off. The charge of bird shot struck the youth in the left breast just above the heart. A companion, sitting with young Crayne on a cliff above the Umatilla river, prevented the body from falling into the water be - low, by catching him when he started to fall. ROCK CRUSHER TO START The county rock crusher at Thorn Hollow is being tuned up to start work on the new grade from Duffy school house to the head of Thorn Hollow, at once. It is hoped by the county court to have the grade, rock surfaced by early springtime, so that this work will be finished by the lime the grading of the Eagle Hollow ex tension is completed. , 5 TO RAISE MORE BEANS Jce Payant plans to plant over 100 acres of Mexican red beans next sea son, so pleased is he with the results from this year's crop. On the Foster place southeast of Athena, Joe crop ped 244 sacks from 55 acres of land. The product at present market price is worth six cents per pound, which leaves a tidy sum for profit on the season's work for Joe. Above Nation Goethe, without being a Shakes peare, was cast In that mighty mold which we must call Shakespearean. He fell short of Shakespeare and he was different from Shakespeare, who was, so to speak, a "ninth wave" breaking on our Elizabethan shores with th momentum of great seas behind him, whereas Ooethe was virtually a first wave unsupported and unlmpelled by tradition and racial Inspiration. Shakespeare crowned English litera ture. Goethe founded German litera ture. No Chancer, no Spenser behind Win; no long speech of his race; no great companions such as Shakespeare had; do air of poetry and national ex pression such as Shakespeare breathed. B. L WU.

In India ancient dip pers were made of nutshells, and specimens of antiquity are now on ex hibition at the Indian museum, South Kensington, London.; King Henry VI possessed a silver vessel made like a nut In 1428. Chinese carvers still work artistic devices on nutshells In Tibet Buddhist priests' of ten possess rosaries Comprising more than 100 beads all made from carved nuts. Wrong Idea of Service Too many people have the mis taken notion that government or or ganization should provide for their personal welfare. Such people fail to make that personal effort enabling them to benefit from what govern ment and society does do for them. CLASSIFIED ' ' ; Flower $ ' I have often wondered at the cus tom of sending flowers when some body has died.- It is a beautiful cus tom of course, and the blossoms help to relieve the sadness of the occasion but It seems to me that similar acts of kindness during the idead person's life would have been vea more help- Every day you. havejah. opportunity to be kind and helpful--so!iiebody. We all have these opportunities, And If we fake' advantag of hem .'and help people while they1 are 'still alive we wfll have less .cause.or regret when It Is time for them to die.
