THE HESPERIAN
instructor does not do away with this
dishonesty, but on the contrary in many
cases seems to aggravate it. This system
as applied in many of the leading eastern
colleges has been very successfull and its
application seems plausable here. The
action taken in the appointing of a com
mittee to investigate the system will
bring the matter before the student body
where it can be discussed, and either
tried or rejected as it seems best.
A Word or Two.
The Hesperian will appear weekly this
year as advertised in the Handbook. In
addition to the regular bi-monthly issue
of sixteen pages and cover, it is proposed
to give our readers, at the same price,
another bi-monthly of eight pages and
cover, devoted to editorial and news.
This new departure is taken because it
is deemed to be for the best interests of
the cause for which the paper stands. The
editorial board have felt themselves at a
disadvantage hereto forein attempting to
supply their readers with matter. They
heartily endorse the new plan and will do
their best to make it successful.
As a business venture the scheme is
not advisable. The price of the paper is
the same and advertisers will pay no
more for space than formerly. Therefor
the management must look for an in
creased subscription list to meet the ex
tra expense. We take the advance step,
believing that the friend. of the paper and
i tsprineiples, will appreciate the disad
vantages of our position and stand by the
undertaking. It is not necessary to say
more.
Owing to a combination of circumstan
ces incident to a change of management
the paper goes before you this week with
only eleven pages of reading. This shall
not occur again, we trust.
Last year's subscription list is not yet
at hand; some old subscribers may be
overlooked this issue. Respectfully,
J". P. Boomer, Business Manager.
