Ethics In The Classroom
What happens to resolutions to investigate the possibility of an honor system at K.U. which student government organizations make periodically? Is the lack of action due to inertia, pressure, or some other reason?
Perhaps a complete revision of the grading system is needed, instead of, or in addition to, the honor plan. The saying, "It isn't the grades that matter, it's what you know," sounds very good. But what prospective employers and graduate school deans ask is not, "How much do you know?" , but, "May I see your transcript?"
Students not only admit, but boast of their unfair methods. The first and standard excuse of anyone caught cheating (which happens infrequently) is, "Everyone else does it." There is no incentive to spend a semester preparing for a final in which someone in the next seat supplements what little he knows with what you know to make a higher grade.
Names listed on honor rolls carry no explanations, where appropriate, such as "apple-polisher", "received help from his neighbors in recitation and quizzes", or "paid $50 for a set of themes." Congratulations are given both to the deserving and the undeserving.
No one quarrels with the economics professor's argument that cutthroat competition, monopoly, and lack of scruples in business is bad for society. But in college many follow those same low principles.
In education for living and striving toward progress, high ethical standards are absolutely necessary. The attitude of "Get the grade, Johnny, get it honestly if you can, but get the grade." just doesn't fit. —A.B.
UN May Get Mandates Held by League
New York, (UP)—Dr. Victor Hoo of China, assistant United Nations secretary general in charge of trusteeships, disclosed today that four African mandated territories are being considered for UN trusteeships
Those territories, which may become the first UN trusteeship areas, are the British mandate of Tanganyika, the Franco-British mandates of Togoland and the Cameroons, and the Belgian mandate Ruanda-Urlandi.
The UN trusteeship council can not be created until some territories are placed under the trusteeship system. The council will include all the Big Five but its total membership must be divided equally between administering and non-administering members.

Rock Chalk Talk
Foul Play. Bushel baskets of dandelions turned in by Theta's on D-Day tomorrow will receive special attention from the judges. Dean Werner is still talking about the way they turned in so many bushels back in '41 with a Theta at the bottom of each basket.
Baby Talk. The big "extra" on the campus last week was put out by Ralph Coldren, Sig Ep., and editor of the Leavenworth "Town Crier," to announce the birth of a future president, son Michael John. The little genius is so sharp that he sat up in his cradle the day he was born and wrote the following poem:
Ain't got no teeth
'N not much hair. Can't walk, can't talk.
Can't walk, can't talk Don't seem fair.
By JOAN HARRIS
Don't seem to need me.
But papa seems to need me.
Guess they're gonna keep me,
So I don't care.
In the same paper, the editor included an ad for his wife stating, "For sale—Two pair of dancing slippers and a formal. Will trade for house dresses or diapers."
Yes, we have no bananas. "Tangerine" swam around the bowl on a Tipperary table last week and served as a pretty orange centerpiece along with his goldfish brethren. "Peaches" and "Apricot." But when they day came for Mildred Brooks to change the water, poor "Tangle" was lost down the drain. Bob Light, DU, came to the rescue, tearing up kitchen pines and what not, only to have "Tangie" die of a slight cough the next day.

Mutual love and admiration. Bob Holland, Sigma Nu, asks if the engineers plan to sue for vengeance where are they going to get a lawyer to plead their case? Says Bob Kunkle, of the slide rule forces. "I feel for those guys. It must be awful to have to kidnap a girl to get a date."

Traded Watch For Bread Has Time Again
"Last month I got a letter asking me to come to Cincinnati for a stag party." Wade said. "The fellow had made the same deal with someone else and he wanted me to make a big announcement, treating watches. But, I couldn't cut that many classes so he mailed the watch to me.
"He is a jeweler, but you can't buy watches like that now. He wrote directly to the president of the company and explained why he needed these."
When Capt. Wade, who flew a Piper Cub for "organic observation," was shot down over Chaumont, France, in 1944, he had never met the prisoner with whom he was placed. But he let the soldier take his wristwatch to trade for food on the man's word that he would replace the watch when they returned to the United States.
It pays to trust your fellow man. That's what Rollin Wade, graduate pre-medical student, says. He got a new watch that way.
Wade was a prisoner at Stalagluft (an air forces camp) until May, 1945. The trade for food was made through Russian prisoners who worked out-side.
"It was mostly black bread," Wade explained. "And according to our agreement the other guy got 90 per cent of that. Bpt I got a watch worth about four times as much as the one I traded."
He has two brothers at the University. Marion is a graduate student and is an instructor in electrical engineering. Stanley is a sophomore in mechanical engineering.
THE WORLD'S MOST HONORED WATCH
Wade was in the army "4 years and 6 months.22 days and 5 hours"
WINNER OF 10 World's Fair Grand Prizes, 28 Gold Medals and more honors for accuracy than any other timepiece.
