Mr. Burgess motored to Pendleton last Saturday to attend the meeting of the Eastern Oregon basketball tourna ment committee. Nothing definite was decided concerning the tournament, but the committee will meet again In the near future to further the plans already under discussion. A new shipment of music books was received Monday for high school chorus work. These books contain all the bet ter songs for high school singing, and are considered among the many bene ficial features of the chorus equipment Mr. Burgess received a letter from Mr. Homner of the Oregon Agricultural College in reference to the honor sys tem which was recently introduced into the Heppner high school. He makes the following statement in reference to the honor society, and requests that we publish it in our high school news: "The nonor system or Oregon Mate College, in its sixth year as a consti tutional measure, is increasing in popu larity and establishing itself as a tra dition with the students. Students are placed on their own honor to a great extent to develop per sonal honor and individual respoonsi- bility for the honor of the college. Some who begin to slip into dishonesty are stooped by a verbal warning by other students, thus preventing a serious vio lation. If violations do occur, however, the offenders are reported to the honor council, an organization of ten upper classmen chosen from a wide range of departments, whose duty is to consider the reDorts of anv action tending to tear down tne morale oi tne college ana to act upon the evidence. All decisions are subject to the approval of Presi dent W. J. Kerr. The respect with which decisions of the council are held is evidenced by cases of two students who tried to leave the institution without trial. Students coming to college here real ize more and more the necessity for making their own way in classes ana for doing their part m upnoiaing tne honor code, wnicn is tne oasis oi Beav er SDirit. "This shows how necessary tne nonor society really is in acquiring a future college education and proves that an honor society is not only desirable, but beneficial and necessary lor tne up-to-date high schools.
