A Trend in Honesty
A commendable precedent for a University-wide aca
demic honesty system in the future Ikas been set by the
College of Mineral Industries
The system, the first to be successfully implemented
in a college, was approved by the Senate Committee on
Student Affairs.
The charter of the honor system stresses several
reasons for its implementation. These are:
sAs an incentive to and a reward for the develop
ment of moral responsibility among students.
oTo increase mutual respect and cooperation between
students and faculty members.
•To add dignity to study and teaching in the college.
•To make studying and teaching in the college a
more rewarding experience.
The system places a great deal of trust in the student
and its success or failure will depend upon whether this
trust is well-founded. Students who do not wish to partici
pate in the system will have the opportunity to follow the
usual procedure for taking examinations.
With this alternative in mind, each student should
think over carefully the responsibility he is assuming in
participating in the system. If a student feels that he can
not carry out its tenets, he should not participate.
It will be best for all students in the college to keep
in mind that the system, being new to the University, will
be under careful observation by not only those connected
with it. but by the other colleges on campus.
These colleges will want to see how feasible the sys
tem is and how successful it will prove to be in order to
ascertain the possibility of setting it up in their respective
colleges.
To have a University-wide honors system would be a
wonderful trend in education methods. It can provide, if
the students cooperate, an excellent training for all
concerned.
If the college. approaches the implementation slowly
and with caution, it is bound to work. But the students in
the college will also have to do their share in making it a
worthwhile program by observing its operation and study
ing its principles.
The honors system is initially on its way to becoming
a part of the University in the near future—provided that
it proves successful in the coming year.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Interpreting
New Ministers
Confused Over
Soviet Talk
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associat - ed Press News Analyst
The Western foreign ministers
at Geneva may be a bit confused
by the seemingly childish devo
tion of the Soviet delegation to
procedural matters,' but it would
not faze such old hands as Dean
Acheson, John Foster Dulles, An
thony Eden or Georges Bidault.
,The new hands will just have
to get accustomed to trying to ex
tract some substantial meaning,
if any, from the gyrations of the
Communists.
Andrei Gromyko, hearing of
President Eisenhower's assess
ment of the meeting so fat as a
Russian effort to make propa
ganda, might ell look up in
surprise and , ask "Well, that's
what we called it for, isn't it?"
There may be other reasons,
too. It's a good guess now that one
of them is to give the Reds a
chance to talk their way out of
Khrushchev's threat to take uni
lateral action designed to get the
Allies out of West Berlin or, if
not that, to get Red forces in.
The traditional Soviet attitude
toward small nations is that they
should pose as the big powers dis
pose. Stalin & Co. never under
stood why the West would not
settle everything by establishing
spheres of influence willy nilly.
But suddenly the Hods are
very soliciVaus about the feel
ings of the Poles and the Czechs
who, on every other day of their
lives, are . expected to dance
briskly to whatever tune the
Kremlin calls.
It may be only natural that the
Reds, having gotten the Ukraine
and Byelorussia, two Soviet coun
ties, into the United Nations,
should expect to get Poland and
Czechoslovakia into a big-power
conference. More likely they ney 7
er expected any such thing, but
have two main objectives.
One, to appeal to the pride of
the satellite peoples, and the oth
er to create a record of protest
ing the numerical imbalance of a
conference which isn't expected
to get anywhere.

So What
Something
to Do?
Something to Do!
The average Penn Stater does much complaining
about the lack of things to do. He claims he is bored with
the world and wants to go somewhere else. Nothing new
has happened since the Pirates won their last ballgame.
Well, !`average Penn Stater" we've found a solution
to your plight, here are a few
things that should interest you
and after you've done all
of them you „ ,,,,,. , ;

straight any . =
more. Almost ---:------
every one has
done these SCHERR
things. But how many of you
have ever taken a walk
through any of the laboratories
on this campus? The basement
of Whitmore has a glass blow
ing laboratory, the second floor
of Frear has a cockroach farm,
the Mineral Science Building
has an X-Ray laboratory and
many shops, Walker lab has
a maze of glass and tubing
that rivals the catacombs of
the Colosseum.
After you have seen These
labs, take a walk over to the
Dairy Building and see how
they test milk samples and then
jaunt over to Osmond and see
how the physicists and chem
ists work.
All right, you don't like labs;
well, there are many other
things around. The Hetzel Un
ion directory lists hundreds of
special interest groups. Among
them: The Chess Club, the Phil
osophy Club, the Society for
the Advancement of Manage
ment, the Institute of Radio En
gineers, W3YA-AYA; the Emer
son Society, the Society of Mili
tary Engineers—hundreds, all
for the asking.
The library too has much to
offer. Upstairs in the Penn
State Room is a running his
tory of PSU since its earliest
days. The stacks, although
hard to gain entry to, are fas
cinating. The periodical room
can keep one intrigued for
hours.
Directly behind the library
is the Helen Eakin Eisenhower
Chapel, open to all. In the
Chapel is a small library where
there are deep and soft leather
chairs and a grandfather clock
dating from 1837. The spacious

main lounge has one of the
finest: hi-fi music systems on
the campus. Inside the chapel
there is a beautiful simplicity
that can make one forget the
business and noise of the world
outside.
Let us not forget the store
windows in town. Some of the
shop owners spend much time
and energy putting up fasci
nating and inspired - looking
displays—hours could be spent
on College Avenue.
From time to time there are
other events that attract the
interest of all too few. The
Horse Show and stables, the
Dairy Exposition, the Artist
Series, our own musical and
dramatic groups, May Day,
sporting events other than
football and gymnastics, and
often there are visiting lec
turers.
Just to enumerate a few
more things, there is the Gar
field Thomas Water Tunnel,
the nuclear reactor, the Uni
versity observatories, the mus
eum in the Mineral Industries
Building, the local taverns
which afford a wealth of hu
man nature, the weather fore
casting station, the office of
The Daily Collegian, The
Glennland swimming pool, the
cattle barns, the SGA assem
bly meetings and if you're in
terested, as we said before,
you can even study.
