Selovcr News editor this issue_ YOUR DIPLOMA Final examinations for the first semester of this college year begin Thursday morning. Front that day until the close of the examining period, students will be under pressure that is then per haps greater than at any other time during the year. As each student prepares for his examination he knows that it is the final test of his knowledge in that certain subject for the semester 1-le knows that to succeed in the course he must pass that examination or to maintain his high grade he must make a high grade in the final. What does he do during that period of high mental pres- He makes final preparations in the subject, and if he is a con scientious person he assures himself that he has at hand all the information it has icen possible for him to glean for himself BE FORE IHE EXAMINATION. He then takes his test with what knowledge he has personally gotten and there he allows the matter to end Whether he passes or tails in the final, he has done his best and it has been an honest attempt. Unfortunately all students are not alike in this respect. As has been proven e s vt.r since e aminations or quizzes were first held, there are students who cannot face the ordeal squarely and so must make for sonic dishonest method of attaining the end in view. And so, almost as an hereditary evil, we have each year received a number of students, who some time during their college career, have fallen and will fall to the temptations of cribbing and cheating their neighbors and themselves It is these persons who, having found an easy method of attaining n difficult end and having suc ceeded in their first attempt, repeat the effort, show their indiffer ence to the system of honor in vogue, and influence other weak minded students to follow the same unrighteous path. And so it is this person, who during the period of high pressure, knowing that he will have difficulty in passing the final examination, pre pares in sundry fashions to achieve what he has during the entire semester neglected to prepare for This is the man who leaves this. institution, undetected, mostly because some other student has been too faint in the matter of re porting, with a PENN SI ATE DIPLOMA, the same that the man who did his work honestly receives Is it fair? Every REAI., Penn State man will agree that it is absolutely unjust to the other students, unjust to every man who ever has or ever will become the posessor of a Penn State diploma. Yet that is where the matter rests in most cases. We cry out in indignation; our self-pride and pride in our institution is deeply hurt, but we sit back and allow such things to go on. Mr. Penn State student, you who work so diligently for whet you receive, you who later on will be asked to guarantee your dip loma, what answer can you give nn employer who has had exper ience m handling meti who went to college, who received the same diploma that you receive, and who failed in their work because they had received that diploma dishonestly? Think it over. Place your own value on your diploma. Its worth to you is just the some ns is the value you place on the ef ficiency of the Honor System. Do your part in making it a suc cess. ANOTHER PHASE OF HONOR Penn State is fortunate in having at its disposal an institution within itself that aims at all times to provide and maintain material which the faculty and student body of the college will have occasion to make use of. This institution is the Carnegie Library. Yet, for all its endeavor, for all Its desire to serve efficiently, it is con tinually being subjected to ravages which maim and devitalize cer tain of its departments. Books, circulars, pamphlets and other valuable information, gathered at the expense of considerable time and labor, so necessary to students at specific periods, are taken away, removed without permsision of the librarian or the signature of the one who wishes to use the material. When the Carnegie Library was presented to Penn State, it 'was the wish of the donor that the institution be conducted on the Honor System. Ever since, die pact has faithfully 'been kept by those in charge They have done their part but the students have not. Never, since the presentation, has it been carried out in the fullest sense. There have always been some who persisted in stealing, it can be called nothing else, that which is the property of students yet to come. If you who have done these things and are doing them would but think of the consequences of the act, there would probably be less done. That which you take and make use of when your, lei sure permits in the meantime would do many another student a great amount of good. The practice of removing books on refer ence shelves,, failing to return them, or removing other information from the library, perhaps to discard Inter must cease. Those who are responsible must realize that they not only steal from the many other students in college at the present time, most particularly those in their own courses who also need the information as pertinelntly as they do, but the vast number of students who will in some future day require that selfsame information. It is not fair to them. It isn't fair to the thief himself. At some time he will have occa sion to need reference materiel and then, when lie looks foe it, it is gone because someone else has done what he, in other instances, also accomplished. What a feat! Let's have it stopped. IlE=l 1) 12 \lihl . 21 11.

There is no ono who Is an absolute all around genius Raphael had the desire to write poetry but ho was a genius of but ono kind • a painter. Dante Int.ked the ability to paint an angel but he had the ability to write poetry. Thu. It Is that a sculptor is capable of carting and moulding materials and a good artist is gifted with tho necessary hameteristics of a good painter. Wo find people who aro shining examples in one particular lino of endeavor but who ate failures in others. Thorn Is always bladd spot in existence and it Is thin Mended blot which plays havoc In hu man life Each nation has a besotting ale All kinds of sin aro present In the mem but there is always ono special weakness; all of the others beefs re mote There is always ono sin which really threatens us. Just what Is our bleakest place? People are inclined to show their virtues but - turn a blind eyo to their weaknesses. A man is no 'stronger than his weakest point. We ale Just as strong as our weak part but no stronger. • Our besetting weakness determinex cur roe:aver moral struggle in life.

Our moral struggle is not usually centered upon our gifts but upon our weaknesses. Robert Burns had 1,10 besetting weaknesses and It was the struggle with Ills passions that gale birth to Ills greatest poems. His bit terness was tho result of his effort to prevent hid faults from enveloping hint Out weaknesses are to be conquered.
