Law School Honor System Discourages Exam 'Shysters'
Trust in the student prevents examination cheating. That is the theory of the Law school's honor system for examinations.
Dean F. J. Moreau explained the procedure.
Professors pass out examination questions, and students are on their own from then until the end of the period, he said. They are permitted to talk and may leave the building$ ^{\textcircled{1}}$
Professors pass out papers own from then until the end of the to talk and may leave the buildings to smoke. They have full freedom of Green hall and can go anyplace in the building to write their papers. Enforcement By Students
The only restriction is that they do not discuss questions or exchange papers during a test. The enforcement of this rule is left to each student, who is personally responsible to the honor committee to report violations.
Dean Moreau said that the system works smoothly in the Law school but pointed out that a law quiz requires elaborate answers which makes copying almost impossible. He added that there were departments where the system might not be as effective.
Edward Boddington, president of the senior law class and member of the honor committee, said that the system makes it easier to write a fairly good examination paper. Honor Committee Indicts
The honor committee deals with students accused of violating the code. This committee consists of the president of each class, one third-year member at large, and one honor roll student from any class.
Members of the committee are Edward Boddington and Howard Rankin, third-year law students; Leo
Henrichs, second-year student; and John Wood, first-year student. The fifth member of the committee will be elected from the honor roll.
"No system could work better," she declared. "There have been only a few violations in the nine years I have been here."
Dean Moreau said the honor committee has complete power to sentence students who violate the code.
The open stack library is another Law school invention. Students may obtain books without checking through a librarian. Only when a book is to be used overnight must permission be obtained.
Few Abuses Of System.
"Convictions involving loss of credit or suspension from school are reviewed by faculty advisors; however, the faculty has never refused to carry out provisions of the committee's sentence," he emphasized.
Miss Hazel Anderson, librarian, said there are virtually no abuses of this unique privilege.
Few Abuses Of System
Ronald Albright, first-year student, summed up general opinion in a statement that the system is fair to everyone. He declared it is a "matter of pride to each of us to be able to live up to the regulations."

Class Sizes Cut Due To More Teachers, Space
Smith To Talk Tomorrow
To Education Juniors
A humanities club is to be organized on the campus. Monthly meetings with talks by members of the faculty and people schooled in humanities will be held.
Because of more teachers and classroom space the University has been able to cut the average size of classes in basic courses as much as 50 per cent as compared to last fall.
In classes which require blackboard work and recitations, emphasis has been placed on small enrollment.
A year ago the average introductory economics class had 105 students. Today the average size is 50 for 19 sections. The 132 sections of freshman and sophomore English composition now average 20 students as compared to 26 in 114 sections a year ago.
The average for 42 beginning Romance language classes has decreased 8 per class from last fall. The average for freshman mathematics classes dropped from 28 to 26.
The College cannot attain the ideal of 15 students per class because not enough qualified teachers have been developed since the war's end, Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, said.
Armanav Begins Vet Recruiting
Sports, service, and social activities were stressed Tuesday as the main projects of a five-point policy for the Armanav. This newly formed veterans organization voted to act on the program after a membership drive this week.
It includes sports, social activities comradeship, representation, and service.
The program was outlined by Gary Kersten, chairman.
Luster Main, vice-chairman of the organization, emphasized the need to keep Armanav free from the "stigma of national affiliations." Dues are for student use only, he said.
Weldon Scardino, engineering junior,
were elected treasurer.
A two-day drive opened today.

All candidates will be interviewed tomorrow night and the winner will be announced later.
Over two hundred wives of students were at the K. U. Dames' Halloween Party last night in the Military Science Building. A majority of the guests indicated on their name cards that they would be ready for the initiation ceremonies Nov. 5.
The group, which was divided into divisions competing against one another for the grand prize, played games and was led in a community sing by Mrs. Virginia Forrey. The short program from the stage was presented in an atmosphere of Halloween mystery created by appropriate decorations.

Deans Association Elects
Paul B. Lawson Chairman
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, has been elected chairman of the Association of Deans of Kansas colleges.
The election was held at the state conference of the association at St. Mary college in Leavenworth Saturday.
Kappa Phi To Meet Sunday
Kappa Phi, Methodist women's club, will have a breakfast meeting at the First Methodist Church Sunday morning at 8:45. Active members and pledges will attend morning church services in a group.
Language Exams To Be Saturday
Foreign language proficiency examinations will be given at 10 a.m. Saturday. French and Spanish groups will meet at 107 Frank Strong hall and German and Latin examinations will be given in 210 Fraser hall. Registration will close at 4 p.m. today in the College office.
Students who have at least two credits in any one language will complete the College foreign language requirement. The examinations will last an hour and will consist of translations of moderate reading from the foreign language into English.
CORE Protests Card Labeling
The Committee on Racial Equality decided Wednesday night to protest the practice of the University in stamping "colored" on the registration cards of Negro students.
A committee was appointed to meet with James K. Hitt, registrar, in an attempt to get the University to discontinue the practice. C. O. R. E. believes that the cards are made available to organizations which use the information to practice racial discrimination.
Joseph Brown, education junior, told members that the stamping of cards has replaced the old system which required students to indicate on the registration cards that they were Negroes. The practice cannot be justified for the purpose of acquiring statistical data or as an aid to local churches in determining student religious preference. Brown said.
C. O. R. E. will have charge of the discussion at the Ninth street Baptist forum at 5 p. m. Sunday.
Semantics Club Begins Study Of Terminology
Study of general semantics terminology was begun Wednesday night by the General Semantics club.
Consciousness of abstracting was stressed. The necessity of realizing that words are symbols for things, and that we often make the mistake of reacting to symbols rather than the things symbolized, was stressed.
