Engberg Against Movement
Prominent students believe that the

Tbey declare the price of the popular
tog-rny will soar to the clouds pro

that would suffice." said the Dean

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 a
ote on May I nlong with the now
constitution for the Student Council.
The faculty and students alike seem
to be about evenly divided on the
advisability of introducing such a sys
tem lit re.
Professor Canc'y
Professor A. L. Candy, head of the
Department of Mathematics, thinks
that the success of the plan would
depend entirely upon the students.
"If they want Iho Honor System let
the Siudents be honorable." He con
tinues to say that, it has been his
policy to put his students upon their
honor, permitting them to use their
texts and notebooks in examinations.
but arranging their questions so tnai
tiny must be answered by what they
hao actually learned in their study of
the course and not from notes or
texts.
Professor Jones
Contrary to this Professor Guernsey
Jones, head ol the Department of His
tory, does not agree with this idea.
He, however, limits his opposition by
saying that in small classes the Honor
System can be worked remarkably
well. "Put, in large classes such as
we have here, one tends to lose his
individuality and his sense of re
sponsibility disappears." His so'ution
for bringing dishonesty in examina
tions to a halt is to install a system
similar to that at the Universiiy of
Chicago where secret proctors are ap
pointed for each class to report any
cases of dishonesty.
Professor Aylesworth
Professor L. E. Aylesworth. of the
Department of Political Science says
"the universities need a better code ol
ethics." He explains that in large
classes there is a handful of dishonest

FRESHMEN DRUB
VARSITY 10 TO 5
First - Year Diamond Sluggers
Spill Dope and Defeat Veterans
in Slow Contest.
"DARK HORSE" HURLER OUT
Coach Schissler's baseball crew sul
fered another reverse Tuesday after
noon when they locked horns with
John Kiddell's Freshmen nine. The
yearlings drubbed the Varsity in a
seven frame game with a 10 to 5
count. Selemel of the Freshmen
aggregation proved to be a stumbling
block tor the opponents who found il
oillicult to fathom the delivery. The
young slab artist prohibited the Var
sity from crossing the rubber in the
lirst four innings. Thompson suc
ceeded in v. hilling 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. Schisslor used all his pitching
staff with the exception of Pickett, in
the remainder of the fracus. Kline
hoaed the pill for two innings and
Williams concluded the game.
The defeat was' attributed largely
lo the loose playing of the infield
which blew up at the critical mo
ments. Coach Schisslor believes he
can whip his nine into big league
form by next Friday when they face
the fast Haskell Indians. The red
skins are reported to have a strong
team this year. The home team
should be working in grand stylo at
the M street lot next Friday and
Saturday. Officials are trying lo have
the stands full at both games.
