Honor System Could Start In Houses, Group Decides
Organized houses, professional fraternities, freshman dormitories and professional schools were suggested as possible starting points for an effort to emphasize honor in the classroom at a Campus Affairs committee meeting Wednesday night.
"If the situation was talked over more frankly when the student first arrived, perhaps he would better understand what honor was expected of him." Mr. Alderson said.
The discussion, a carry-over from the previous session, concerned the possibility of an honor system at KU. Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, cited the partial honor systems used in some classes in the Schools of Law and Engineering. He suggested that these schools might be a good starting place from which the trend could spread.
Donald K. Alderson, assistant dean of men, suggested that perhaps a beginning at the first level, with the freshmen, might help. He thought this could be done by means of the freshman dorm counselors.
Jack Heysinger, instructor in economics, said he believed the system should be started from the students themselves.

If the movement starts with the faculty, the student will fight it instead of cooperate, he said. He suggested that perhaps social and professional fraternities were the best place for the idea to be implanted.
"I've talked to a great many students about the idea and they generally don't like it," he said.
A Red Cross first aid instructor's course will be offered beginning Thursday, April 3, Donald W. Henry, assistant professor of physical education, announced today.
Instructor's Course In First Aid Offered
Bill Wilson, engineering junior and discussion leader, and Lue Edna Diver, college freshman, emphasized two points of view.
Those who take the course should come prepared to do practical work. the class meetings.

depends on whether or not he is mature enough to want to learn” Lue Edna Diver said. “If he wants to learn, he doesn't cheat.” she said.
"If the student realizes that it is not the degree that counts or the grades but how well he can do his job when he leaves school, then he will realize the value of learning to do his own work." Bill Wilson said.

The group decided that it would try to carry the ideas brought out at the meeting back to their other organizations. Some of the teachers present expressed interest in trying the system in their classes. Mr. Heysinger said he had already experimented with an honor test.
