PROFESSORS VOICE
BELIEFS ON WORTH
OF HONOR SYSTEM
Faculty and Students Evenly
Divided as to Advisability of
Introducing System Here.
The Honor System for examinations
comes before the student body for n
vole on May 4 along with the new
const liutioa for the Student Council.
The faculty and students al:!;e seem
to be about evenly divided on the
advisability of introducing sveh a sys
tem here.
Professor Canc'y
Proies.-or A. L Candy, head of the
lYpanmont ot Mathematics, thinks ;
that the Mtccess of the plan would
del end entirely upon the students.1
"If tiny want the Honor System let j
the s.uden'.s be honorable.'" He con-j
tinues to .-ay that it has been his
policy 10 put his students upon their'
honor, permitting them 10 use their
texts and notebooks in examinations,
but arranging their questions so thai
they must be answered by what they
have iMMua'ly learned in their study 01
the course ar.d no; from notes or
tcxts.
Professor Jones
Conirary to this Professor Cuernsey
Jones, head of the IVparlmeni of His
tory, docs not agree with this idea.
He, however, limits his opposition by
saying thai in small classes the Honor
System can be worked remarkably
well. ""But, in large classes such as
we have here, one tends to lose his
individuality and his sense of re
sponsibility disappears." His soV.iion
for bringing dishorn sty in examina
tions to a halt is to install a system
similar to thp! at the University of
Chicago where secret proctors are ap
pointed for each class 10 repon any
cases of dishonesty.

DARK HORSE" HURLER OUT
Coach Schissler's baseball crow sui
fered another reverse Tuesday after
noon when they locked horns with
lehn Riddcll's Freshmen nine. The
yearlings drubbed ihe Varsity in a
seven frame game with a Hi to 5
count. Selemet cf the Freshmen
aggregation proved io ho a stumbling
block for the opponents who found it
oillicul: to fathom the delivery. The
young slab artist prohibited ihe Var
sity from crossing the rubber in the
f.vst lour innings. Thompson suc
ceeded in v lulling three men in the
seventh stanza.
The Varsity started with Reynolds
on the mound who after the first
inning was benched in favor of Peter
son. Schissler used ail his pitching
st;.;T with the exception of Pickett, in
the remainder of the fmciis. Kline
heaved the pill tor two innings and
Williams concluded ihe game.
The defeat was attributed largely
10 the loose playing of the infield
which blew up at the critical mo
ments. Coach Schissler believes he
can whip his nine into big league
term by next Friday when they face
the fast Haskell Indians. The red
skins are reported to have a strong
team ihis year. The home learn
should be wot king in grand style at
the M stieet lot next Friday and
Saturday. Officials are trying to have
the stands full at both games.
