Mite flours. 500 to 0.45 every afternoon extent Saturday Member of lutorculloglutop Aonspoper Ammoltktloo FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1921 THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE The voting yesterday showed that there is ii large body of men who do not believe in the Flonor System and that it does not have the support of over one third of the entire voters. If an over whelming majority, had voted to retain the system, it would indicate. that the system had an excellent chance of becoming a success, but the outlook is not very bright in view of the large number who in dicated their unbelief in the system by voting to abolish it Also i. showed that the student body is nearly evenly divided in regard to the proposed amendments which_ were designed to strengthen the system and give it a chance of becoming a live factor in our scholas tic life. As a result of the voting, the system remains the same as it was, and with the same weaknesses and flaws that permitted evas ions with impunity, and witlithe same chances of success. There are now two courses open; the faculty can abolish the system by a simple vote in a regular meeting if they believe that the system will not work any better in the future, or they can'amend it. On the other hand, the student body may get _behind the s,s tem and make a determined effort to enforce the present system. And we venture to say that if the student body does not demonstrate conclusively that it will make the Honor System work, did faculty will take the government of examinations out - of the hands of the student body and install the proctor systeiri which was used, seven years ago There is a strong possibility that the faculty will do this anyway President Thomas stated in the mass meeting Wed nesday night that if there is a large minority that is opposed to the Honor System, it is very likely that the system will not be a success He stated that if there is a large number of students who are -op posed to the Honor System at Penn State, even though there are not enough to put it out by a three quarter majority, the faculty are very likely to step in and put out the system. On the other hand the faculty may decide not to act immediately but will give the stu dent body a chance to demonstrate that if necessary it can conduce. its own examinations without any cheating If this is the:dominat ing opinion, the men and women of Penn State will have a_ final op portunity to show whether they wish to have an honor system or not If there is cribbing, that will prove to the faculty that the student body is not willing to assume the responsibility of - preventing cheat ing and the faculty will have no alternative but to cast out the system If we are permitted to have another chance to show whether or not the Honor System can be made to work, every man must put his heart and soul into - the effort and squelch the first sign of crib bing that comes to his attention' The laxity of the present time can not go on! We must back the system to the limit or our honor system will be withdrawn Those who voted .to abolish the system must accept the verdict of the majority, and work for its success as long as it is in force. Thus only is there a - chance of ever keeping the system. Faculty action is imminent and can only be prevented by an ever-present vigilance on the part of the student body to see that there is no cribbing As soon as cribbing is allowed by the student body. the faculty will abolish the system A commendable expansion is noticeable in the activities of the theatrical organizations of the college, in the number of productions that_are presented during the year and in the number of trips that have been made and that are to be made. The plays that are given , in the towns and cities throughout the state are a splendid,adver iisement for this institution when given in the manner in which the Thespians and Penn State Players are accustomed to stage their productions, and serve to bring to the attention of the people of this commonwealth the many varied activities of the college. The Penn State Players have shown much progress in their work and recently have inaugurated the plan of playing out-of-town en gagements Next week they plan to give-a performance of their last year's success "Seven Keys to Baldpate" for the benefit of the Y M. C A. This is a commendable feature of the Players' work and will no doubt be appreciated by every one interested in the suc cess of the Y. M C. A. for whose benefit the play is being given. The annual request is necessary this year as in the past that the students do not trample down the grass on the campus. espec ially at this time when the ground is softening up and the grass is easily ruined. It seems that after a time this request should be come unneccessary as every one recognizes the fact that the grass can be easily spoiled at this time of the year by a little carelessness, but the action of the student body necessitates a notice. There is no need to go into the reasons for not walking on the grass; as they are self-evident to all, and-it is simply asked again that the men and' women exercise a little thought in the matter and refrain from destroying our beautiful campus. 4-24,,,, -..+44++.14+÷÷4-:•++4444-:-÷4-• • • •-•-•—, News From Other Colleges SlVAltTll3loltE—Students have be as golf enthusiasts and are using the [tont campus for the links Having been careless, they have been reminded to shout "tore" before striking the ball and to replace scalped sod after a N 1Ci01.19 eat IVTLLIAMS—Varsity athletes Arty° • formed a club for wearers of the "CV" The membership will ho limited to men uho have won their "NV" and to cap tains of minor sport teams Coaches and set oral wombats of the (acuity may also be admitted and alumni letter men will automatically become members TOLEDO U.—Plans ace being made for students to wear an official button or pin In the form of a regulation em blem.
