LAW-ENFORCEMENT
The recent-law-enforcement convetition held at the University of
Pennsylvania, at which seventeen colleges were represented, marked an•
other forward step in undergraduate thought and endeavor. Conferences
and meetings of student leaders front the several institutions brought
to light many problems which were discussed from the viewpoint of
the alumni, faculty members, fraternity groups, and general student
bodies.
Needless to say, the violation of the Eighteenth Amendment to
the National Constitution furnished the basis for discussion in con.
nection with law enforcement as it applies to resident college students
The general situation in this respect at American institutions of high
er learning was greatly deplored and remedial measures of a Firm
and decisive nature were suggested.
Severe,punishment by, the administration of all students who vio
late the Eighteenth Ainendment and, the publication in college papers
of the punishment lists, a publicity campaign, a referendum by each
student body on the enforcement issue, an assumption by fraternities
for their alumni who _return-to college, and a pledge by the under
graduate body ,that it wIl Carry out the purposes outlined,—these is
sues, in brief, furnish the basic program which the various committees
chosen at the convention will' seek to put in force at the institutions
represented.
In connection with this, rapidly increasing sentiment throughout
the state and nation against the apparent lawlessness of college stu
dents and their flagrant defiance of the Constitution of the United
States, it is a source of extreme satisfaction to know that Penn State
was the first institution in the Commonwealth and one of the first
in,the country to take a definite stand against such violations of law
and order. And there is cause for even greater satisfaction in know
ing that this action was taken by the students themselves on their
own initiative and without any suggestions pro or con from the ad•
ministration.
About a month , ago, the Student Council at Penn State adopted a
resolution embodying an official, protest against all illegal traffic in ,
alcoholic beverages, and heartily endorsing any action on the part of
the college administration in punishing students copinutting such of
tenses in violation of the Eighteenth Amendment to the National
Constitution. It was a step well worth taking and was recognized
as such by college and.state.of ficials. Governor Pinchot, in a letter
to Student Council, complimented that governing body upon its de
cisive action and, pledged his cooperation and that of the Common
w:alth.
Penn State undergraduates have taken their stand as leaders in
the movement for law and order in college communities. They must
not be found wanting in-its support. For, in the words of the Gov
ernor, "nothing must be left ,undone to bring campus opinion into
harmony with the Constitution of the United States".
BEWARE:OF THE GERM!
Each'year, about this time, it becomes necessary to issue warning,
serve notice, or othel•wise.'l;lake known officially to college under
graduates that a disease germ of an insidious nature is at work
among' their number. Cribbing" is the name popularly attached to
this germ which waits tcolodge in broken,down tissue at a moment's
notice. And it is at this,time of year, during semester examinations,
that the germ gets in its-most dangerous thrusts
Cribbing is never justified. There may be many causes for it
but there is never an excuse. Some students insist that the preva
lence of dishonesty is due in large part to the type of exams given by
the faculty and to the unwarranted systems of policing. Perhaps
this assertion is true in some cases. Where such conditons exist
they should be corrected. But even this is no excuse for cribbing.
If the examinations are really unfair in the opinion of the stu
dent and he finds difficulty' in' passing after conscientious prepara
tion, it is his duty to acquaint the instructor with this fact. Perhaps
the next tests will be conducted upon a fairer basis. It is far better
to do this and run the risk of incurring the disfavor of the prof than
to resort to cribbing as a means of getting through a course. Col
lege men and women ought to build character if nothing else.
But the undergraduate must come half-way in the matter of
exams. Usually, if a student4tnows his subject, he has little trouble
passing the course. Instructors and students alike must assume
part of the responsibility. ' But it makes little, if, any difference,
who has,been , to,blame. For the matter at hand , deals with the pre
sent and the future, not the past:
Some people believe that cribbing is the concern of the individ
ual, since, by his acts of dishonesty, he primarily hurts himself. Per
haps they are right. But whether or no, the disease seems to be con
tagious and as such,must. be•stopped. It is believed that the proposed
Penn State Code of Honor, affecting lying, cheating and stealing,
would do much to remedy existing conditions.
