At the beginning
Why Wot? of its junior year
every class here finds
itself deeply in debt, and it is only
due to the fact that each member is
forced to pay his class dues before
his picture can appear in the La
Vie that the class is enabled to
rid itself of this incumberance.
If we look for the causes of this
deficiency we find that they are
„the failure to pay class dues and
the financing of class athletics.
Class athletics have a value that is
hard to overestimate but is the
present method of financing them
the best? The only interclass
games that cover expenses by the
present system are the freshman
sophomore football game and
wrestling match. The rest are a
poorly attended financial drag on
the class. Why? Mainly because
an admission fee is charged.
Considering the size of the fresh-
man class this suggestion might be
worked into a method of solving
this problem. If at the beginning
of each school year a fee of one
dollar were charged each four year
student at the business office for
class athletics a fund, easily suffi-
cient, would be gotten, to cover all
the interclass expenses incurred
during the year and leave a snug
sum in the class treasury besides.
By the present system one dollar
does not cover the admission fees
charged to attend the freshmen
sophomore contests to which every
member of these classes is sup'
posed to be present.
Interclass contests could be plac
ed under the supervision of an ath
letic director and through him all
bills for equipment, etc. would be
paid. Here he would cooperate
with the class managers and the
not infrequent complaint of ex
cessive bills would be eradicated.
The following results might be
expected: An adjustment of the
junior financial wrangle, a much
greater attendance at interclass con
tests, keener competition for mak-
ing teams, increased rivalry in inter
class leagues and a marked de
crease in the number of athletic
dead heads that each class may
safely claim for its own.
It may be said,
The Honor with reasonable ac-
System curacy, that every
one admits that "crib
bing” is absolutely wrong,and, to be
frank, has no justification whatso
ever. Yet it must also be admitted
that some men make a practice of
"cribbing”. The introduction of
the Honor Systen, the principles of
which have been explained before,
will practically do away with the
existing evil. The system has been
in use for years in the Electrical
Department of this college with the
greatest of success, as both stud
ents and faculty of the department
will testify. Moreovei, among the
leading institutions which possess
an honor system are Princeton,
, Chicago, Williams, Virginia,
Wesyleyan and Washington and
Lee.
The Honor System will do away
with the evil of cheating because it
removes any incentive to cheat,itre
moves the necesity of having in-
structors act as proctors;it puts men
on their honor to give or receive no
help, and to report anyone else do
ing so to a duly establishedtribunal,
which tries cases of infringment
with absolute secrecy. A fair trial
is given, and in the case of the
system proposed for Penn State
the penalty is secret expulsion from
college, with the privelege of re
turning a year later. Contrast this
with the punishment inflicted at
at another college —namly, absolute
expulsion, without the right to any
further connection with the college
such as are enjoyed by alumni or
men who have failed to complete
:heir courses for some other reason.
Perhaps some may object to
that phase of the system which re-
quires the reporting of cases of
violation of the rules. No code of
laws can be successful without pro
visions for enforcement. Who
would hesitate to make known to
the police any violations of the
criminal statutes -of Pennsylvania ?
Or, getting closer to college affiairs,
who would fail to report to the stu
tribunal a freshman or sophomore
who persisted in walking
across the front campus ? So a
man who reports another who vio
lates the rules of the honor system,
in a college when the system is es
tablished, is simply upholding the
integrity of the student body and
of his Alma Mater by enforceing
the laws which student government
has instituted.
It is extremely probably that the
near future will see a reduction in
the credits required for graduation
at Penn State. It is hard to believe
that some men are compelled to
cheat because of the fact that they
are carrying too much woik; but il
this should be the case, the pro-
posed lightening of requirements,
which we may expect with some
degree of assurance, would remedy
such a condition,
An Honor System for Penn State
has been drawn up and has been
passed favorably by the student
board; it will be considered by the
student council at their meeting to
night; if adopted, it will be sub-

Give Your Skin
Greater Resisting Power
Heat, moisture, wind, dust and the
action of free alkali in soap all have
a tendency to weaken the resisting
power of the skin, making it more
susceptible to chafing, redness and
roughness. Your skin needs as
sistance and attention. A little
daily precaution will keep it soft,
smooth and beautiful.

delightful to use as a facial mas
sage. Good for all toilet uses.

mitted to the student body in a
mass meeting. The student body
can certainly uphold the Honor
System if introduced —Penn State
is ready for such an innovation,
Indeed, if we are not ready now,
we never will be. It is up to every
man to consider the proposition in
every detail.
Re-examinations.
Any student having a conflict be
tween a re-exmination and his reg
ular work of the second semester
on Friday afternoon, March 6 or
March 13, will attend the re
examintion. He should obtain the
permit for the re-examination from
the Registrar’s Office in time to
show it to the instructor as an ex
cuse for his absence at the last
meeting of the course before the
re-examination. The instructor
may arrange with the student the
method of making up the work lost
on account of the absence.
