WORTH WHILE ADVERTISING.
Campus talent is touring the state this week in the interests of
the Gre&U-r University of Nebraska. Today, and every day for the
remainder of the week, an entertainment is being enjoyed by the
"home folks" who have little other opportunity to come into intimate
touch with University offairs. Most of the varied news items reach
ing the out-state patrons come through the medium of the press, and,
unfortunately, often times such news is perverted. It is gratifying
that the University has seized upon such an excellent medium as
University Week, to acquaint the taxpayers over the state with an
important field of college endeavor. Prejudiced ideas are thus elimi
nated, and a better understanding is created.
Were it not for the annual excursions of the University Week
Association, many people would remain in ignorance of certain phases
of our University life. In like manner, an unadvertised product,
does not sell on the market for the reason that its merits are not
known to the public. Such an article has no value until it is appre
ciated by the buying public, and a desire for it has been created.
Such is the case with the University. Those who know nothing of
the institution cannot appreciate Its value or true significance. Only
by advertising ourselves can we ever impress upon the minds of our
sponsors, that we are worth while, and that we have an institution
which is deserving of their support
Let us encourage, then, the excellent work of those who are
"doing their bit" to further the good name of the University. They
deserve our co-operation and moral support, and the least we can do
is to laud their merits to our friends at home as we write them thi;
week. Terhaps they can be thus induced to attend the programs that
they might otherwise miss.
THE HONOR SYSTEM.
If the terms "Character-Building" and "A New Columbia" are to
become realities instead of mere catch-wards, Columbia must support
the newly proposed plan of the Student Board for an Honor System
in examinations. If Columbia is to try to compete with other Uni
versities of its size and standing, it must relegate to the past an
examination system which has a highly organized method of scrutiniz
ing proctorship.
No honor plan will succeed at the University, however, unless it
is brought about by the overwhelming opinion of the undergraduates
themselves. There can be no such thing as publicity or education to
cause the Faculty to pass such a measure. The students must show
that if the scheme were adopted they would be certain to make it
successful.
As has been found in other colleges where the Honor System is
in vogue, it must fail if there is not a careful plan, worked out. in
keeping with the sentiment of the men themselves. It cannot be a
half-honor, hali'-prortnr supervision of examinations; but it must he
entirely one or the other. A suspicious, half-hearted plan will never
be respected by Columbia men.
Not only must the College adopt the Honor System, if it is taken
at all, but the other undergraduate schools should also. All'men who
are registered in courses of the schools, which accept the plan, must
pledge themselves to obey its precepts.
Some of the difficulties that must necessarily arise with the con
sideration of the scheme are the matters of whether there should be
a S'udent Committee to report to another committee all offenders;
whiit shall be the penalty for cribbing in examinations; what shall
constitute sufficient proof to convict a man; shall the student sign a
pledge at the end of his paper that he has not received nor given aid.
All there are, of course, but mechanical considerations and can be
arranged if there exists among the students the desire and the moral
impetus for the Honor System.
In order that the Student Board may know the Campus sentiment
in relation to the proposed plan, Spectator suggest that the under
graduates write communications to the paper expressing their opin
ions of the matter. Not only should they declare themselves in favor
or opposed to the plan, but they 6hould also offer suggestions for the
canning out of any scheme that might be accepted. After all, the
Honor System, if adopted, will affect all the undergraduates anC not
just members of the Student Board or of Campus publications who
may be acting as sponsors for the idea. Columbia Spectator.
