Student Government government
and the haslongbeen
Honor System an establish-
ed institution
at Penn State, and it is often said
that our system is one of the most
efficient, and at the same time, one
of, the fairest of its kind. But is
‘there not an excellent opportunity
for an extension of student govern
ment at Penn State into a new field,
following the example set by most
of the leading colleges and univer
sities in the country?
Our student councils in the past
have prescribed college customs;
we compel freshmen to keep off
the grass; our student organizations
try students for certain kinds of
offense—yet a man who commits
the great offense of cheating in ex
aminations is not responsible to the
student government, is not report
ed, as is a freshman who walks on
the grass, but, on the contrary, is
often freely assisted by his neigh
bors in the examination. It is this
condition of affairs which puts a
premium on cheating, which, in
many cases, compels instructors to
watch men closely during examina-
tions, sometimes causing a man to
cheat for the mere satisfaction of
getting the best of the instructor,
who, he feels, is spying upon him.
Other institutions have found
that the best remedy for this condi
tion is the introduction of the
“Honor System”, The system it
self is simple, involving, first, a
signed statement to the effect that
no help has been given or received
by the student in the examination
in question; second, the institution
of a student tribunal to which all
offenses must be reported, and
which will try in the greatest secre
cy all cases of violation of the
Honor System. These are the
“material essentials’’ —but even
greater than these must be the spir
it of co-operation among students
in enforcing the system.
The introduction of such a plan
of dealing with examinations would
be only consistent with the pro
gressive Penn State policy. The
possibilities of such an innovation
are being considered by the Stu
dent Board and, if approved, will
go before the Student Council.
Every man in college should care
fully consider the advisability of
introducing the Honor System.
To one interested in
A Weak the welfare of athletics
Link at Penn State, our athlet
ic laws present a strange
mixture of severity and laxity. In
certain branches of sport the covet
ed S is most difficult to obtain
while in others the standard is
much lower. Probably no college
in the country requires the rigid
scholastic requirements for her
athletes on the one hand and yet on
the other we constantly find our
selves critized for playing fresh
men. Along with the rest there
are two obvious inconsistencies
which should be remedied and it is
the aim of the present article to
call attention to these features with
the hope of having action taken
upon them.
In the first place in regard to the
one year migratory rule, we bar for
a year any man entering from an
other college as any institution
granting a degree. This is obvious
ly unf iar, as numerous secondary in
stitutions grant degrees and in
many cases are classed as colleges
and yet in reality are “prep"
schools in every sense of the
word —as for instance St. Joseph’s
College in Philadelphia. When
Pennsylvania and Cornell accept
men from Grove City, Westminster,
Albright and Brigam Young Uni
versity why should we class these
same institutions as colleges and
bar them under the same condi
tions ? The one fair remedy would
seem to be a carefully rrepared
list of the schools which we should
reckon as of true collegiate stand-
S tud ent
Moreover at the present time, a
man who plays in an athletic con
test for even one minute goes on
record as representing the College
for one whole season. Most insti
tutions count the winning of the
letter as one year’s participation,
yet here at Penn State should the
humblest substitute play one min
ute in a practice game and not be
able to finish his course in the
scheduled time he is barred from
his last year because he played in
his first year. Men, let’s get busy
on these deficiencies.
The concert and lec-
Short of ture given in the Audi-
Funds torium last week by
Major Morton and the
Hampton Quartett, did not prove
to be a financial success on ac
count of the poor attendance.
The proceeds of the performance
are to help in the up-keep of Mr.
Randall, who is doing missionary
work among the colored people in
the South, but as they are so very
small, money will have to come in
from other sources. Several stu
dents and townspeople have already
given and promised donations so
as to increase the fund for Randall.
This man is doing commendable
work in the South and deserves our
support, and any gift from you will

WHO MADE THE DEMAND FOR
OUR COUGH TABLETS?
The answer is easy. Every one who
has used our cold tablets speaks high
ly of them..' It’s very natural, there
fore, that one who has suffered and
who has been cured, should reccom
mend them to his friends. Use
Krumrine’s Laxative Cold Tablets
for a bad cold, clogged nostrils, in
•flammed vocal chords; you will find
them reliable and easy to take. They
act on the system in a gentle, but ef
fective way.
