Barring where publicity for campus events ends and equipment holdups, the station should be in advertising begins. And it will . also fall sub operation in November. ject to the scathing criticism of disappointed The campus radio station has long been a topic of delight and consternation. Class gifts and _portions thereof have gone toward the station, equipment has been donaied, and Fed eral Communications Commission approval granted. Still students have heard nothing more than the test signal—a hum. That hum, however, is music to those who have pushed so hard for the campus station. And those pushing the station are much more anxious to have it a reality than the student body in general. The campus station, once it does go into operation, must obligate itself to serve the stu dent body which largely .made it possible. In accordance with this, the 1953 Student Encamp ment has already approved a recommendation that the station concentrate its operation toward the field of student interest and in promoting sudent activity. The recommendation must yet have cabinet approval. When the station does reach the air, its many problems will multiply. The station staff will be faced with problems in programming, per Honor System Encourages Dishonor Many dreams have passed through the files of countless committees appointed here to study campus problems. Some have become abtual working realities—that's progress. Most have been put aside for future reference—that's life. A dream, voiced by the Tribunal committee at the 1953 Student Encampment, is directed to ward the eventual establishment of an honor system at Penn State. And it's one goal we hope never reaches the blueprint stage. Why, you may ask, oppose the' honor system— a plan that recognizes students as adults, that promotes -natural integrity in classrooms, that touches a new height in American education? Simple: It just won't work. When the committee report was made, ex pressing the recommendation that individual school councils study possibilities of such a system, our first reaction was: Fine for Antioch or some other small school, but it can't happen here. After some thought on the question, how ever, we concluded, perhaps somewhat nar rowly, that it really can't successfully happen anywhere. Let alone a college of 11,500 students. The honor system isn't completely fair. There are students whO, during an examination, would respect an honor program diligently, not think ing of breaking the trust given them by their professors. Then again there are others—those who would disregard that trust completely to further their own aims. This may be prejudging. We don't think so, though, when we realize how many students will ignore countless classroom warnings and still 'manage to cheat even with proctors and professors present. Would it be fair to the corn- Into Each Life ... The first fat Froth of the season came out yesterday. But don't let this spoil your weekend. Rumor at Penn State has always had it that Froth and Collegian staffers don't appreciate each other; their editors—rumor maintains— have scissors and gluepot battles periodically. It's perfectly true. To the uninitiated, Froth is known as the cam pus humor magazine. The initiated know better. We are not saying you will not get your two bits worth by buying Froth. The paper on which Froth is printed makes excellent book-covers. —Mike Feinsilber Dance Aids Chest Tonight's annual Kick-Off Dance in Recre ation Hall will be more than a football season kick-off. It will also be the unofficial kick-off for this year's Campus Chest drive. Dance pro ceeds go to the Chest. Campus Chest consolidates selected national and local charities into one annual drive. This is a boon to the student purse and frees the entire student body from repeated charity drives during the academic year. A successful Kick-Off Dance tonight will go a long way in making a successful. Campus chest. This year's Chest goal is 100 per cent participation. A successful Campus Chest, and 100 per cent participation, will, mean only bene fits to the student body. dill eatirgiatt Suocesaor to THE FEET LAT T ICE, eat. .188? THE DAILY COLLEgIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA VINCE DRAYNE, Business Mgr. - publicity chairmen. More important, the station will face the prob lem of expansion. And it must expand. When it begins operation, the station will reach dormi tory radios through converters. But it will be able to reach only FM sets off campus. This will mean more than 2000 fraternity men, plus 2500 independents living in town, will only be able to receive the FM signal. Without expan sion, the - station could only reach 6500 of the 11,000 enrollment. Even this somewhat limited scope will be a start. Penn State has had a deep need for such a campus station to serve not only as an enter tainment medium, but as a news , service and practical lab for interested students. The radio station personnel will find. as every such organization does, they cannot rest once the station becomes a reality. Serving a student body of 11,000 is a frustrating and tir ing job. To do that job well, the station must seek improvements, and above all expand. It must, as quickly as possible, reach every stu dent it can. Only in this way may the campus radio station be a real success. pletely honest student who has prepared for an examination, to be graded on the same basis as one who hasn't, studied but doesn't mind cheating? The establishment of an honor sys tem, we are told, would mean attaching a stig ma to any type of cribbing. But that stigma exists. now. So does cheating. In a true honor system, the responsibility of the student is two-fold. He is required not to cheat, and is also required to report anyone in the examination room whom he sees cheating. Given a situation of a best• friend who has a miserable week due to illness or \ fraternity rushing. He has good intentions, but is com pletely unable to adequately prepare for the quiz. Would many people turn in such. a stu dent if he were seen cheating? Probably not. Employers hiring college graduates know the drawbacks -of an honor system. They can't be quite sure whether the marks they see on a prospect's transcript are the result of hard study or test-time cleverness. The same goes for graduate schools. An honor system might jeop ardize the scholastic standing of a college in the eyes •of many • employers, sometimes without justification. Instead of directing its efforts toward forma tion of an honor system, the Tribunal commit tee ,should make some progress toward more strict proctoring of examinatins. The responsibility lies more naturally with professors and their assistants, not with stu dents. It's the well-supervised; not the hope fully doubtful, test situation which will lead more certainly to honor in the true sense of the word.

Once we observed the stacks go down, down, down, in Reading Terminal, Philadelphia station, as outgoing pedestrians grabbed for improvised head - coverings dur ing summer cloudbursts. Baseball fans on their way to Shibe Park purchased papers to be Used spe cifically _. as cushions for dusty bleachers Street urchins bought certain editions to clip special offer I coupons and send away for "genuine death ray guns" and space helmets. (A retarded child, says Earl Wilson, is one who still plays cowboys and Indians!) Women struggling home. from market often stopped to buy a paper to patch a dripping shop ping bag or wrap an offensive smelling fish or cheese before they were swallowed up in a crowded subway. At the station we observed a line of efficient-looking, young ex ecutives, briefcases in hand; dig= ding out nickels for the New York Times to keep up with "all the news that's fit to print."
