Member of Intercollegiate Newspaper Association TUESDAY, APRIL 19:1921 MAKE YOUR CHOICE More and more of the student body are springing to the defense of the Honor System as the time for the final draws near. ' Most of the arguments is defense are ,accompanied by suggestions for changes, which shows that an impressive amount of thinking is being done, on the subject and that a sober judgment is the result. We believe that the fewer rules there are, the better for the system. The Cornell Honor System which was recently installed embodies very few rules or regulations, everything being based on honor, and the honor of the man providing most of the rules that are necessary. We believe that rules are not of inuch value, that student sentiment is the essence of ,the situation and that student support will do away with much of the necessity for.rules. If any cheating is observed,lt is the duty 'of the observer to 'see, to it that the, crib-I bing is stopped immediately and to make the cribber feel that there is no place for him in this institution: The student sentiment should be such that a man would not only not cheat himself, but that he would not tolerate cheating on the part of anyone else. What the Honor System needs is not revision so much as a little ' more backbone on the part of its supporters. If the men who-want the Honor System to-stay, and we hope that this includes the majority of the student body, would only come out openly and in their every day classes call the man publicly who tries to evade the system; it will not need - any changes. A real, honest-to-gOodneas; come-fair-or foul-weather determination on the part of a few. real men — would .put the Honor System across and would soon show the" despicable cribber that the students of Penn 'State, are not afraid to stop cheating for fear of being called a sissy or a-mollycoddle. Rules .do not matter where it is a question of either allowing cribbing to continue or not to continue. If you are determined that cheating shall not be done in any class, you will not be concerned with the rule:s that govern reporting, or any other-rules. If, as' soon as you see some one crib, you_ptomptly_and%effectively smash the,crook-that.is 'stealing infor mation that he is too lazy-to' get for hiinSelf arid-who' is besinff-ching the:honor of the school;' you will have, very effectively done away with the necessity,f or any rules. Again we say, rules do-not matter' what is needed is 'a little four-iquare, outspoken aggressiveness Mn the part of every man worthy of the name. ft is a disgrace the way that the Honor, System is' allowed to totter along, but it is a pretty good indication of its worth if it can survive with the little support that it is now receiving.. If the stu dents of this institution are determined -not to energetically back the system then they should be . men enough to Say so, and do away with it. But if they can at all recognize its worth,' then they should get behind it, and make it the strongest thing that Penn State has ever seen. The Honor System is a good thing and a 'credit to every school that has an effective one but a - pretty pooor advertisement. for the college that allows it to be 'dragged in the mud. The Honor System must be one thing or the other; it can not be lukewarm, but either effective and - a living force that every one respects and up holds, or else a failure that should be removed before any further harm is done. There is no use in having a system that is not sup ported, as it only teaches a disrespect and disregard for all that I is good and true, in 'mankind.' It 'teaches that honor is something ; .that has shades of meaning, that •sometimes cheating is justified, ' that certain kinds of cribbing or at•certain times crookedness is:all right. This is nothing short of damnable And theMtan whoitillows this condition to continue is dealing a• blow at the good name of Penn State. The Honor System can be saved and in a short time with a very little - vigorous, out-spoken support from , the student body. and the faculty. If the student body will do its part and if 'the faculty will only aid in the many ways . that are available to it, the Honor System will be a credit to Penn State instead of a disgrace. You have - the opportunity of making the Honor System a healthy instrument; of self-government and a pride of the college. Support it in the open. COLLEGE' GIVES PRESIDENT THOMAS WARM RECEPTION Continued from first Page) princhiles of a state Institution In every possible prospect.. They realize doubt less that there are some difficulties connected pith the administration of a college belonging. to the state and co trolled by the stabs Those difficulties and objections appear to soma Instl tutlons Insurmountable, but I under stand that the trustees of Penn State say that Penn State belongs to the state of Pennsylvania; and It there Is anything more that they can do to put Um Institution thoroughly at the ser vice to do It. I have discerned In the minds and hearts of the members of the Board of Trustees, the Faculty, and the support ere of the College the ambition to-malts this Institution worthy of the, great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. There ought to be here an Institution second to none In the United States in its or ganization, in the facilities and equlP ment of its labointories, in the library, faculty, physical and athletic training— in the quality at its work in every res pect. There ought to lie here buildings to which the people of the State could look with the greatest pride. I recognize that I am coming here under most favorable auspices and with the privilege of a fair chancle. The Trustees have aiisured me that their rail was unanimous. No ono could have.. morn generous weleortio than-1 have had from Dr. Sparks. From the beginning he has tinkered me' that I would have his help and must hearty cooperation. Members of the faculty and heads of the ochools have likewise assured me of their cooperation, and I have also received cordial assurances from the student body. It I do not snake good, it will no be your fault. • When I spoke of coming to Penn State I happened to meet a graduata"of another Pennsylvania institution; He .1(1, "Yoit are going to have a manic job down there." And • soon -I met a man from another institution and he saki, "Yea are going to have a. mania job down there." I began to wonder what. Kind.of n jolt the presidents of .those institutions - hada, and with all res pect to thetwotriCa , and we ought to have flora women at Penn State—l' am pleased that it to mono job. Again I thank you for your cordial greetings and your hearty weicome.• In behalf of Moo. Thomas and myself I thank you. I Avant your help. I come among you it stranger 'to thainstitution and to the slate. I come with the utmost respect fur all that: has been donte here .and not at all as an iconoclast. I want to find out what •you want. what your demands are for Penn .State College. Come to me and let me know what.you are thlnking about, what you want me to do, what . kind of a presklent .you want me to be. The More you can tell me the better I shall be prepared for the work which Is .before me. In the long run, there. Is no dental of a .just and rightful student demand. Fulfill nent of all your hopes for Penn State ay aot corn within the period on any one college gala:edam- I do 'not mean that. every. notion that gam abroad on the campus at any time must be Seeded. But there is no denial of a student de -bland which has been thought through and which is founded on justice and right. We ,must have a magnificent .college to •be worthy of ( the state of Pennsylvania, the state of .WililataPenn and Benjamin Franklin—an' institution second to none to the station. I eau do - nothing' without your eO - and good, will; I shell try to deserve it and II I do, I know I shall have It. all my heart thank you; with all my heart I pledge to you the best that Is In too.: ' • john L.
