RATHER A POOR JOKE
What does Penn State's Honor System mean to you? Have you
ever thought it over and asked yourself that question' , Have you
ever read over the provisions of the system and the interpretations
of it at Penn State' , It so, is it limited by those provisions, or does
it have a bigger and broader meaning to you? Have you been doing
all in your power to make it a real system of honor' ,
During the current year, the Honm Committee has been con
fronted with n number of cases of supposed dishonesty in quizzes
and examinations, and there have been convictions as well as acquittals.
In neary every case, the point has been raised by the accused that
they have seen lots of "cribbing" going on all during the year, yet
there has not yet been a single case reported by a student. Do you
realize that in permitting such acts to go on, you are equally guilty
with the culprits' , Yes, even more so, for while they are so morally
weak that they have no sense of honor, you are a moral coward for
not stooping them or reporting them And you are doing them more
of an injury in permitting them to "crib" than you would be if you
reported them, for the man who does not play square to college will
certainly not play square when he is out of college, and the peniten
tim les are full of men who have simply obtained the wrong start in
life
But perhaps the worst and hardest thing of all to believe is that
some men, even upperclassmen, have expressed the opinion that the
Honor Slstem is a joke and that it need not he lived up to. We would
hate to sly what we feel about men whose principles are so low as tr
permit them to give such advice to others. Even the worst criminal
has a sense of honor, but a man guilty of making the aforesaid
statement deserves the contempt of the world
And here is where the pitiful side of it comes in. As a result of
such advice, younger men are led astray, they attempt to "crib" and
apparently not being so well-versed in the art as their older advisers,
fortunately, they are caught. We say fortunately because they have
been stopped in time. It is a bitter lesson, but it will never be for
gotten But the man who becomessmrdened to it may lir be caught
until later in life, when he doe it will be fatal.
Penn State's Honor System "is no joke, as some have already
found out. It is a peculiar type of joke that ships a man from col
lege for at least a year, and we fail to see the tunny side of it. So do
the victims now. But it is up to the students to get a broader and
deeper grasp on the Honor System. Answer those questions in the
first paragraph and then be honest with yourself. Are you playing
squat c or are you a moral coward?
ANOTHER MILESTONE PASSED
With the present issue, another COLLEGIAN year is ended and
the old staff steps down in favor of a new one. The year has been a
very slim t one, extremely short, due to the necessity of curtailing
publication while the college was under the military rule of the
Students' Army Training Corps last fall. However, we believe that
the year has been an eventful one in many respects, and if the COL
LEGIAN has taken even a small part in helping to restore normal
conditions to Penn State, we feel that our efforts have not been in
vain.
he retiring staff does not feel that the COLLEGIAN has been
as good as it might have been thus far Undoubtedly we have made
mistakes for these, we are sorry and wherever possible we have
ti ied to I ectify them There are two main types of newspaper policies,
the one being destructive and the other constructive. We have at
t..mpted to combine the two with the idea of making our criticism
constructive. For our editorial policy, we offer no apologies, believ
ing that none are necessary
To our readers and subscribers, we extend our thanks for their
support and encouragement, for the latter particularly. To our ad
artisers, who have made the paper possible, we would say that we
are gi atzful for their help, and we would urge our readers to patron
-I,e them To the younger members of our staff, upon whom the
I ulk of the routine work has rested and who have worked hard to
lake the paper what it is, we have no hesitancy in saying that we
feel the COLLEGIAN will be left in capable hands.
For the new staff, we would ask your support in the future as
heartily as it has been given in the past. If any have personal
rievances, let them go out with the retiring staff and do not carry
o t ' them over to the new one. And in conclusion, we would say that we
have tiled to follow out the policy so well expressed in the preamble
to our constitution:
"To serve Penn State, in the true sense of the word, by present
ing to her students during the college year a carefully and honestly
prepared newspaper, an unprejudiced chronicle of events worthy of
note, to seek after the truth above rill else, and to endeavor to re
flect at all times the sentiment of the students of the college." If
we have, served Penn State in but a small measure, we feel amply
[could for all our efforts.
HARDLY FAIR
Some time ago, the COLLEGIAN, following the policy of the
college, urged that everything possible be done to bring the men who
hove been in service back to college to complete their courses. It
was felt that many of these former students would be so mentally
estless that they would not feel inclined to return to the regular
routine of academic life, and for that reason, it was hoped that every
thing possible would be done to bring these men back.
• The icsult has been pleasing in many respects. Approximately
Vine hundred of these former students returned to college during
the opening weeks of the second semester, and the college authorities
Lnileavored to help them by allowing them credit for their military
service in many instances These men, therefore, will lose very little
actual time by their absence.
But what can be done for those men who are only now being
released from service and who would like to return at once and
taus get a start in completing their courses? Apparently, they are
I xeiving very little encouragement in their efforts to return and in
tact, many of them are discouraged. Is it not possible for them to at
East take off some work during the balance of the present year and
Le that much farther advanced than if they waited until next fall? The
COLLEGIAN believes that it is and that something should be done
for these students It should be realized that if they are turned down
now, they will probably never have the desire to return again and we
believe that it is to the advantage of the college as well as the indi
viduals that they should return.
