We have
Extended Student every reason to
Government believe that the
student body
of Penn State enjoys as much
democracy in the government of its
own affairs as is given in any
American college. As a result, we
have organized a democracy in
which every man has a part not
only in choosing those who are to
represent him in the governing
bodies, but also in the final ap
proval or disapproval of all matters
of consequence relating to his own
welfare in regard to college life. In
consideration of this fact, we are
forced to admit that we not merely
have unparalleled opportunity, but
heavy responsibility, in this dem-
ocracy ou'rl? toTnciilcate into
each and every citizen of it, the ele
ments of character which shall
make of him the voter who de
mands and effects politics, which
are clean and primarily concerned
with the true needs of the people,
setting aside selfish and dishonest
motives,
As college men and women, we
are brought face to face with the
fact that if we are to become lead
ers for the good of our fellow men,
we must develop those character
istics needed in useful citizenship,
and put them into practice while
still in college. Constant improve-
ment in our systems of election are
giving the mass of the student
body more voice in the choice of
the men who are chosen to lead
them. More and more we are
choosing more representative men
for positions of responsibilty, in
lieu of those borne on the crest of a
wave of popularity. Directly we
are developing intelligent and clean
citzens for intelligent and clean gov
ernment. For the continuance of
these commendable policies a
breastwork of principle must sur
round our every phase of college
life. No chain is stronger than the
weakest link; no platform is sound
with a rotten plank. There must
be a steady balance and adjustment
in connection with healthy growth.
Cannot our system of self govern
ment be extended to include our
scholastic life ?
Dishonesty in examinations has
not as such entered into our self
government, but it does develop
the characteristics that result in
corrupt politics and their support
by the type of man who has ac
quired the habit of securing things
that do not belong to him and who
in view of his own dishonesty has
no other choice than to support the
man of his own calibre. From a
dishonest voter he becomes a dis-
honest and corrupt politician, to
whom office is only the means to
dishonest gains.
Primarily, the fault of dishonesty
lies with us, for no other policy but
honesty is ever justified and
especially when by disregarding
it defeat the very purpose of
our education, namely to train our
selves, not merely to pass our ex-
aminations. However, there are
certain other factors which con
tribute to the spirit of dishonesty,
heavy assignments, faulty methods
of teaching which emphasize
absurd details, and also may be
mentioned quizzes and examina
tions on Monday morning. These
are contributing evils, and their
eradication would be a big step
forward.
In summation of the entire situa
tion, we believe that the Honor
System would check the existing
evil of cribbing and afford an op-
portunity for the growth of a
healthy and clean spirit in regard to
honesty in examinations and thus
build up those personal attributes
which make for honest and effec-
tive participants and leaders in a
clean and useful government, with
the welfare of all at heart.
Riveting the deci-
Campaign sions that were made
Conservation during the Mott
meetings is the im
portant work that faces each one oi
us. Most careful preparations have
been made to conserve these re
markable results. On successive
week day nights, Dean Holmes will
speak at 6:30 in the Old Chapel on
the “Successive Steps in Christian
Life”. This bible study course has
received very favorable notice else
where. Dr. Mott personally urged
each man who made a decision to
take this course. Success or defeat
depends upon the spiritual nourish
ment you receive. New habits
need to be formed. It will take
heroic courage for many a man to
break completely with the past and
he will need every bulwark to hold
him fast to his registered decision.
Next Sunday will be Church Sun
day when every man will have
brought home to him the im
portance of church membership in
the church of his choice. Mike
Dorizas of the University of Penn
sylyania will speak at both chapels
next Sunday morning. The town
clergyman will have office hours in
Main Building, the schedule to be
found at 273 Main. The following
Sunday “Dad” Elliott will be here
for the week end. The chapel
speakers for the following Sundays
have been most carefuliy selected
with this thought in mind, to under
gird the men. All this will make it
easier for every man to do right
and any man who slips back must
blame himself and only himself. It
will mean that he has not kept faith
by careful training, which means
that he has not had sufficient food,
air and exercise to nourish him
spiritually.
