WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, 1919 THE HONOR SYSTEM AMENDMENTS At the regular weekly mass meeting of the four classes last week, two amendments to the Honor System were proposed by the Honor Committee. These were presented primarily for the purpose of strengthening the Honor System and they will be voted upon shortly after the return from the Easter vacation. Thnt these amendments should be approved goes without saying, and It is the sacred duty of every loyal Penn State man to cast his vote in the affirmative when the proper time comes The first of the proposed amendments will take the place of Article I, Section 5. As this section now stands, it reads: "If a student de tects env dishonesty in a quiz or c • amination, he shall at once quietly inform the offending party of the detection. Should the offender persist, the attention of at least one other person shall be called to this matter, and then the case shall be carried to the Honor Commit tee, which shall conduct an investigation into the same The proposed amendment is as follows• "If a student detects any dishonesty in a quiz or examina tion, the attention of at least one other person shall be called to this matter, and then the case shall be carried to the Honor Committee, which shall conduct an investigation into the same." It will be seen that the phrases "he shall at once quietly inform the offending party of the detection" and "should the offender persist" are omitted. In other words, this will make it dangerous for a map to cheat and it will also make it easier for an offending party to be reported. Under the present ruling, a man may cheat once in an exam ination and get away with it, desisting after he has been warned. He may do this in every examination he takes, cheating until he is given warning that he is being watched. Under the new amendment, a man who cheats at any time is in danger of being brought to trial without any warning whatsoever. That the method of reporting will also be made easier is evident. Heretofore, if a man after being warned, were brought before the Honor Committee for trial, he had a very good idea as to who reported him. And even if he were acquitted, there would always be a feeling of enmity between such men, and the man who did the reporting would feel that he had committed an error. If the amendment iimdopted,, there will he no such difficulties here after. For one thing, the party reported would never knoW who Iliad reported him, and for another thing, as there would be at least two witnesses to the crime, and probably more, the chances of bringing an innocent party to trial would be reduced to a minimum. The second amendment deals with the administering of punishment and will take the place of Section 9 of Article IV, which rends as fol lows: "Punishment. For the first conviction of dishonesty, the convicted shall be suspended from college for one year with the privilege of returning according to the regulations of the college, at the beginning of the corresponding semester in which he was suspended." The pro posed amendment reads: "Upon the first conviction of dishonesty, it shall be the duty of the Honor Committee to determine and transmit to the executive of the college the specific punishment to be meted out to the offender, this punishment not to exceed one year of suspension from college." This amendment is designed to give a fair punishment to a party convicted of dishonesty. It was found this year thnt there were varying degrees of dishonesty. The old method left but two aler natives for the Honor Committee to act upon These were to either find a man guilty or to acquit him. If he were found guilty, no matter whether the offence was large or small, he was suspended for one year The new proposal will, however, give the Honor Committee power to determine the degree of punishment which shall be meted out to guilty parties, the most extreme of which will be suspension from college for one year. SUPPORT THE DEBATERS The 1910 debating season for Penn State will open on Friday evening, when Colgate will be the opponent of the Blue and White. A question of national importance will be discussed, namely, one concerning the control of the railroads of this country. Debating has always been one of the prominent student activi ties at the college and it is desirable that it should remain so. In the pest, many successful teams have been turned out and there is no reason why this should not be repented this year. However, it is utterly impossible to do this without student sup port, and everyone who possibly can should attend this debate on Friday night Following the custom of previous years, there will be no admission charged, and it will certainly be worth while to every student to hear an interesting and intelligent discussion on a prob lem which our country must solve in order to help carry out its re- Lonstruction program. THE "TIE-UP" SCRAP The annual "Tie-up" Scrap, held last Saturday, proves conclusively that class spirit is not dead at Penn State. In almost every way, the scrap was a success, but there were a few objectional features which came to light in the course of the afternoon. One of these was the impoliteness of a number of spectators who crowded upon the field and around the contestants in such a manner that it was virtually impossible for those in the grandstand and bleachers to see what was going on. Incidentally, we might state that the grandstand and bleachers pre excellent places from which to view what is occurring on the field, provided there are no human obstructions, and we would suggest that hereafter, all except the con testants and officials take their places there, ns it is more comfort able sitting down anyhow. Another thing which was very evident was the spirit of un fairness shown by the two lower classes, especially the Freshmen. A number of the latter, apparently not having the moral and physical Lourage to enter the scrap, came upon the field in civilian clothes, and then crowded around the contestants and began untying Fresh men who were in the sew and who had been tied up by their oppo nen ts. Ever since the college returned to normal conditions, it has been the desire of the upper-classmen to inculcate into the first year men a sense of honor and square-mindedness. To all appearances, there al e some Freshmen who have not yet grasped this fundamental fact and POW is the time to learn. In all of the college, class, and fraternity ac tivities, Penn State stands for a square deal and the sooner the now men learn this, the better it will be for them and for the college. 471141444141 E l l ti 111 l-1•.4.4.4• L On the Corner tTIIIS SPRING II EATIIEIt SURE GETS OUR GOAT" AGAIN WC painfully TAICC the oppoltunlls TO INTILUDI.: outoolves upon you.
