'Member of Intercollegiate 'Newspaper Association FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1921 News editor this issue A BIG DECISION When Student Council voted to recommend the abolishment of the Honor System, at its meeting last Tuesday evening, it did a mighty big thing for the college. About a month' from now the en tire student body will have the same opportunity and we can sin cerely hope that_they will also, as a united body, recognize the ser pent in their midst and throw it out' It may seem somewhat violent to sonic students that this attitude has been so suddenly forced upon them, but it is unquestionably the only reasonable one to take. We have too long preached and stormed'that students follow the one real, honest, upright path in their relationship with one another. We have too long learned that such wrangles will avail us nothing. Therefore it was highly necessary for Student Council to take some action -on the matter, and it resulted in a unanimous belief for a cleansing action on the whole proposition. Penn State Spirits How often that very phrase has been mal igned, and by the very ones who thought they were exhibiting the only true type of Penn State Spirit. Friend, does not Penn State Spirit include everythine Does it not include the honest, straight forward, - unfaltering attitude of the upright mane Then this re cent action is but the very essence of Penn State Spirit' It shows -that we must come to an understanding as.to just what we are going to do. It has been too plainly - demonstrated that this thing we call an Honor System is but a sad farce. . We might as well face up:to - , the proposition right away. We have long thought that there was something wrong with the system at this college. Now we know that there are a number of things In our minds there is but one code of honor, that established by a student body, upheld by that body and executed by its supporters It is an idealistic form, probably too idealistic at present, but un questionably one that conforms to the highest teachings of Christian manliness. In this code, it is every man's chosen pirvilege to enter examinations, as he does all other work, with the knowledge that his personal honor is at stake in all he does He needs no pledge to sign; he requires no watching; he needs not to report a fellow, be cause he is essentially honest Of course it is argued that cheats will also creep in such places where but honest men should be, but such a fellow, when seen by other students, would recieve their per sonal wrath, would be ostracized to such an extent that he could not remain in college of his own volition. Under such circumstances there would be a real Honor Code. Otherwise not However, until we do have a student body that can handle things in such fashion, it were better that we had none at all rather than one conducted irt slip-shod fashon. It is the only salvation. Penn State does not lose one iota in honor when she casts from her a thing that is nothing more than a direct stab at her honor We cannot lose by departing from a thing that is not honorable Abolish it. The COLLEGIAN hopes to be able to present to the students at regular intervals during this next month, the opinion of the fore most students in the college and members of the faculty regarding the system at Penn State and just what should be done with it: . THE Y. M. C. A Elsewhere in these columns appears the budget for the Penn State YM C A This is published merely to show what the asso ciation is doing here. It is essentially a Penn State organization, endeavoring to . serve the students as best it can and receiving what cooperation the students will give. It also at the same time is endeavoring to build character into the students while they are in college so that when they go into the world, men will be able to recognize that most valuable asset—a dependable character. The "Y" is sincere in all its attempts and even if at times it fails to measure up to the ideals set for it by some people, it should be re ; membered that as an organization it is attempting to render real service to as many as possible. It deserves the support of the stu dents as a part of college life and the same can be said of many other organizations.
