Schools of the Mid-west which have tried the honor system have in most cases discarded it after a short trial. Some colleges in the East and extreme West have continued their systems, and assert that they are successful in eliminating cheating and student dishonesty. Traditions and a different sense of honor in these schools are often strong enough to protect the system and discourage crookedness of an academic nature. But why, in most cases, do honor systems fail? Students are not inherently dishonest; many cheat in exams who are honest in every other way. They do not consider "cribs" particularly unfair. Herein lies a fundamental reason for the failure of any methods or attempts to prevent cheating by the honor system. The honor system is not a remedy for academic dishonesty. It merely transfers control of cheating from faculty to students and places the responsibility entirely on a student court, which tries and punishes offenders. Real honor cannot be established through fear of punishment, by students or by tional system which makes it extremely difficult to use one's individual initiative instead of a "crib" or some other simple way of getting the grade. The standard of education set up in the student's mind throughout all his schooling is wrong. From the first he is encouraged to regard education in terms of the grade marks he receives for securing it. He is trained to expect credit for everything he does, until he comes to regard the credit as the end instead of education for its own sake as a means for living more completely. In college, to secure his degree, he must often study courses which have no interest to him. It is seldom pointed out to him why he should be interested in the subject or why he should study the course, except that he must get a passing grade. He sees nothing particularly wrong in cheating to get that grade, just so he gets it. The future is too far distant for him to feel that he is cheating his future welfare, speaking of welfare not in terms of salary alone. A new standard of education, stressing knowledge for its own sake and encouraging individual initiative and interest as the only means for securing that knowledge, must be set up in the minds of students, not only in college but from the beginning of their schooling, before academic dishonesty will be eliminated entirely. An attitude of mind is responsible for cheating. It must be made easy and natural for students to be honest rather than easy for them to "crib." Student courts and honor systems will rarely abolish cheating. They merely scratch the surface of the problem. Individual effort must be encouraged by making education a desirable, an interesting, and a practical thing, instead of a means to an end, with grades, a degree, and a salary as that end. A JOB WELL DONE The work of Harold Denton, president of the Men's Student Council, in guiding the activities of that organization this year has been, the Kansan feels, outstandingly worth-while. A student executive who devotes his energies in so definite a manner to measures for the betterment of the University is giving a service that can in no way be held lightly. Mr. Denton's work has been unselfish and untiring and his efforts to improve existing conditions at the University have been in the interest of progress, and will be looked back upon in the future as the beginnings. The Kansan has not always throughout the year agreed with him in his views. When disputes have arisen, however, they have been caused by differences in honestly-held opinions, and have left no mark of bitterness or malice. They have served rather to clarify issues than to destroy them. In looking back over the work of the past nine months, the president of the Council can be justly proud of what has been done, and of the fact that most of the accomplishments can be credited, at least in part, to him personally. He was given a job to do, and it has been done well. That fellow who stood atop of the Fraser Hall flagpole and shouted with glee yesterday was not, as many supposed, an escaped lunatic. He had merely finished writing his seventh—and last—term paper. It's not that we think the whistling of the Laws on their steps is unmouth, vulgar, asinine, and whatnot, but so many people have expressed that opinion to us that we feel it should be printed. THE OL' SWIMMIN' HOLE On account of the severe heat last Saturday afternoon ten or fifteen college boys caneed up the Kaw and went in swimming. They could be seen from the middle of the river splashing water, throwing sand in each other's hair, lolling around on the high sand banks, chasing each other, pushing one another into the water from behind, diving off the high promotories near the river, and playing "King of the Hill" on the steep banks. They looked for all the world like Tom Sawyers and Huck Finns. Calculus, philosophy, Greek, astronomy, and psychology they forgot in their delight at once more getting a chance to take a dip in the "oI" swimmin' hole." They were students no longer. Rather, they were kids "just out havin' some fun." Many people believe that by the time a boy reaches college he should begin to act dignified all the time. But if a college student can enjoy himself by going down to the river for a dip, more power to him. Soon enough he will be too old to enjoy that sort of thing. And besides, those college men who cooled off in the waters of the Kaw Saturday probably studied harder when they got home. Following the administration's policy in the recent liquor investigation, we suggest getting at the heart of the examination problem by deporting all professors. Well, here it is almost vacation time and another school year is just about completed. Those who return in the fall will find the summer months going all too quickly. Why, the first thing you know, enrollment and registration time will be here again. Far down in the southernmost part of South America, in the heart of Terra del Fuego, has been found a graduating senior who already has a job. HOW TIME FLIES! It won't be long then until the football games start, and your activities begin their year's program, and the first parties are announced. About that time, unless BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE: Vol XXX OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN The farewell stork sky scheduled for last Sunday was postponed to this Sunday.

Saturday for Sunday issues. Ojections to this proposition have been raised on the ground that senior co-eds, who are at the most one or two years older than junior or sophomore women, have no more right to regulate their own hours, at least during their last two months of their university career. What difference can two months make in the taking up of their normal duties of life? Purdue Exponent. CANDIDATES FOR DEGREES: admitted cell HIRIS Wymanel of Jamaica FERN HARRIUS, President of University Class All students expecting to graduate in June or to take part in the commencement exercises if finishing in summer session should pay the diploma fee of $7.50 at the Business office by June 1. GEORGE O. POSTER, Registrar. Another argument for beer in Kansas is, that the Sour Owl would be able to print full page ads for "three point two," as does the humor publication at the University of Pennsylvania." A certain father can't understand how the weather can effect his son's grades. Ah well—he has evidently forgotten his own youth. The annual picnic of El Ateneo will take place Monday afternoon, May 28, on the University Golf Course. We shall meet in front of 117 Administration building at 4 o'clock. All members of the club and Spanish faculty are urged to be present. Those who have not paid this semester's dues are requested to see Virginia Rufi this week. FRED JEANS, President. INTER-RACIAL COMMITTEE: Tonight from 7 to 8 o'clock we will hold our last meeting of this year. Mr. Lindquist, of Haskell, will speak on "The American Indian." The speaker will be worth hearing. All are invited. MILDRED MITCHELL, WANDA EDMONDS, Chairmen K BOOK: Final deadline for calendar dates has been extended to Monday, May 29. All organizations are requested to take them to the Y.M.C.A. office, room 10 Memorial Union building, by 3:30 p.m. Please co-operate. K BOOK: K. U. RADIO CLUB. There will be a meeting of the K. U. Radio club this evening at 7:20 o'clock in room 210 Blake hall. Braden Brown will speak on "Short Wave Superhetrovines." All those interested are cordially invited. K. U. RADIO CLUB: MARGARET MELLOTT, MARGARET BEAUMONT IF NOT. WHY NOT? MACDOWELL: Of course, co-ed regulations at this university are much more lenient than those to which the DePauw co-eds are subjected. Here, all co-eds in good scholastic standing are permitted to stay out until 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and until 11 o'clock on all other nights should allow as much freedom as could be desired. However, it seems that senior women, who will graduate in less than a month and who then will be mistress of their own fates, should be allowed to regulate their own activities to a greater extent. The MacDowell meeting scheduled for this evening in the rest room in Centra Administration building, has been postponed. Our Contemporaries DANA PRATT, President. you are unusually constant, you will find a new "interest" who will cause you many painful moments and a few pleasant ones. Recently the authorities at DePauw University issued their annual statement allowing senior co-eds at that institution to remain outside of their various residences until 11 o'clock in the evening. Regular procedure allows co-eds the benefit of staying late only on two nights a week, and as a special concession to those co-eds who are soon to take up the normal duties of American womanhood outside of an educational institution, the seniors have the privilege of using their own judgment up to 11 o'clock each night. So back again to the time when vacation begins again. My, how time flies! Then it will get cold again, with the walk to school a battle against the wind and snow. But the days will be filled with projects and plans, and the nights will be taken up with—we're telling you! After the hurdle of first semester examinations is successfully passed, then once more the campus will be astir with athletics, plays, dances and so forth. Spring will be back again with lazy days and moonlight nights, and work will be neglected, and sleep will be lost, and pins will change addresses, and . . . God is good! We haven't heard the word "jig-saw" for two weeks. HOWARD JOHNSON, President. The Fable of Becoming Beach- Broken By GEORGE ADE ©. Bell Syndicato.-WNU Service IT IS truly said that here in dear old Columbia, the Jim of the Ocean. Opportunity knocks once at every man's Door and everything turns out great after that, unless the poor Rummy happens to be in the back part of the House at the time. Certain it is that if you will grab and strip almost any Great Executive seated at a Mahogany Desk, you find on his Person the lingering Evidence of Stone-Bruses, Callouses, and misguided mediate contact with a Strap having a Buckle at one end. In other Words the Important Personages who sit in elevated Splendor and rule the World by Phone evolved from ornery Kids living in small Towns. Most of them started out with a Village Chore on a Ballet troupe and turned out to be the principal Boost. The various Forms assumed by a little country Tadpole before it becomes the majestic City Bull Frog have excited the Interest of Many who write for a Living, but Howells and Tarkington never told the Half of it. Every self-made Rufus puts on a Fashion from the Spring Wagon to the Holls-Hocey and it is only fair to add that usually the Comedy Interest All of this Binh leads up to a Consideration of the Case of Benz Flicker, who started from Nowhere and can now distinguish between real Russian and the kind that is British away from Sturgeon found in Cheesapeake Bay. If you could have taken a Peek at little Benny, trotting along the Boned Sidewalks of Bacuson Center during the Puff-Sleeve Period, and sized up his Sandy Locks, the honest Freckles and the Ostrich Neck, you would have said: "Here is a Lad who will go on to play for the Giants on Day, until at last he will have Money enough to permit him to Join the Old Fellows." He Finds Himself Thinking. That would have been a reasonable Horoscope and that is how it started to work out. Benny completed his Education when he could spell most of the Long Words in the Back Press. He spent time and effort to work in the only Factory which had dared to open up in Basel Center. He bought a pair of overalls and proceeded to get them as soiled as possible and for several years was just one of our favorite jobs. He worked at a Hill or a bee in a Hive or a Mimnow in a Crick, whichever way you care to look at it. The only Difference between him and the other Shaves on the Pay-Roll was that after working Hours he was going to be going to the Billard Hall and several times caught himself, in the Act of Thinking. Along about the time that Ice Cream began to be used in Water, he scrubbed himself all over one Morning and Got a Close Shave and went out and got Married. The Young Lady who took the Long Chance was called Tessia, that being her Real Name, it was all right. He had been all right if Ma had known how to keep House and Pa'n not been a Bar-Fly. As the Trout Fishing Season Opens Benny bought a house from the A pair of anglers casting at Crotone Falls, New York, along the east branch of the Crotone River as the season was inaugurated in New York. State. Bullying and Loan Association and started in making Easy Payments, which were so easy that it looked as if he might have a Clean Title by 1950. You know about the other Ben flying the Kite, Newton being lit by the Apple and Watt getting interested in the mechanism, and then the patented that Benny was tinkering with some of the Machinery and the Beam happened to be working, and it occurred to him that if the large Dingus coming up under a Cog Action could be switched to a subscripting an Automatic Approach for the hand-controlled Lever, the Capacity would be doubled and the TAB of One Man would be saved. Anyone who has made out an Iphone Tax card would be grateful the significance of the above. The Disgustingly Rich. Benny made some Sketches and sent them in and got a Patent and built a small Model and began production at the rear of a Blacksmith shop. In order to insure future success he took Pains to make his Start even more humble and inconspicuous than that of Henry Ford. Of course, the Sequel is just as hard to guess as the Plot of a Movie. It turned out that 8,000 Factories in China could use it and to use the Invention and in order to do so they had to pay Beeny so much per Day per Machine, which as a scheme for getting collateral has an Edge on all of the other standard Grants, such as Bootlegging, Beauty or getting real Money for Porn-Corn. All the People in the Universe begin throwing Coarse Money at Benny and Tessie and every time they took in another $10,000 the quintold old $50. They had to pay them. They had so much of the Needful that they were disgusting Rich and the Going was so easy that Benny had practically no Business Hours, so they suddenly realized, to their Horror, that they belonged to that disreputable Section of Society known as the Idle Rich. So they had to pay them for Magazine subscription for Magazines telling about the Didoes of the night-blooming Spenders. They knew that they would have to follow Precedents and get in with the Gang. They had two youngsters and Tessie had the natural Inclinations of a Mother and shuddered at her Help, but what could she do? Likewise, Benny was a kind of an old-fashioned Rube Huebach and he was saddened by the Thought that he would have to avoid being too friendly with the Wife or else it would cause him to lose the affection of them. But they could not resist the inevitable Urge to move up to Headquarters and pull the Loud Noise. So the two Prairie Chickens got ready to be a couple of Golden Phantasms. Next we discover Elizabeth (nee Tessie) try to Cone herself into the Belle that she enjoyed blowing Smoke through the Nose and letting her breathe. Then she for her below the Knees. She no longer attempted to keep Tab on Benjamin. They occupied separate Apartments, with a Long Walk in between. Benjamin Flicker, soon to be known as The Penguin Flicker, had joined a Bridge Club where he was Meal Ticket for a lot of Boys who were wort Tortoise-Shell Glasses and Spats and had seen Betty Patterson. When Pinging was that he had to smoke Cigars which made him dizzy. He had been brought up on Lottle Lees and he had no Chance with a Super Corona but he was a game Bird and In the meantime the Offspring were staked out at a select Private School which was in laboriously training them as ashamed of their uncuoth percentage. Those of you who study the Rotograve Section and have seen the Snap-Shot of Mr. and Mrs. B. Sturtevant Flicker and their impudentuous Guests on the Beach, SomewhereInTheMiddle, and that they now have 100 Pairs of White Shoes, 14 Wardrobe Trunks, a Gold Cocktail Shaker and Neurashtaine. The smart little Luncheon staged by Tessle are highly spoken of by all those who are partial to Free Food and any Cuddy on the East Coast of New York. They are Club in his Bag except the Woods and the Irons. MORAL: The Income Taxes are too High. America One of World's Big Market for Nuts In the peanut crop, Americans have evinced an aptitude for production and consumption that is applicable to few other foods. In some years the eastern states has been more than a billion pounds and yet many million more pounds have been imported in the same years to fill the demand for roasted, safted and cured peanuts and the use of peanut oil and by-products. Almost the one crop in which American growers have been able to keep up with the pace set by America, is soybeans. The nut farmers have guarded seedling plantings and in addition have nursed along the cultivated or so-called improved varieties until imports have developed, but with consumption increasing, China is the source of our largest supply of imported peanuts. China, and Italy as well send us large quantities of both shelled and unshelled walnuts and our largest stocks of pecans from our larger French仓库, the home of the "English" walnut. Spain, Italy, and Turkey furnish us with fibrils. Brazil nuts are produced year after year by Dame Natura for the fringe of the wilds along the Amazon. Energy Received From Sun Measured by Pyrhelimet The "solar constant," that is, the average amount of heat received each minute upon a square centimeter of the earth's surface, turns out to be 1.84 calories. (A calorie is the amount of heat radiated by the Earth from a cubic centimeter of water one degree. A centimeter is about a third of an inch.) The energy received from the sun is measured by means of a device known as the "pyrhcellometer." It consists of a small tube, at the bottom of which is connected to an instrument. The disk continues a tiny reservoir of water in which a thermometer bulb is immersed. The tube is pointed at the sun and the rate at which the water heats is measured. From this, the amount of solar energy can be calculated. As has been pointed out, 1.54 calories seems a small figure. But it is necessary to remember the size of the silver disk on the silver disk one mile square enclosing 750 tons of water. The sunlight falling on this disk, we are told, would raise the temperature of the water from the point to the boiling point in one minute. The Black Forest The Black forest is, of course, the most distinguished feature of Baden. It presents the appearance of a magnificent wood rampart from the summit of the mountain side over the broad breadbath to the far away Vosges, and on the other to the Swabian Jura. It is a district near the German heart, for many feel that it was here their race was crushed by the French army, one of one of the greatest, or the greatest of European rivers, the Danube, which some declare rises from a spring in the gardens of Furstenburg palace at Donaueschingen, but which more accurate exploration says comes from an ancient slope of this part of the forest. Hauling in a Shark The average shark that a murf fisherman can handle successfully is about 350 to 400 pounds and a great deal of the weight it can hold. Nine hundred feet is not too much time if one hopes to conquer 300 pounds of fighting "lightning" on a 12-inch surf rod. To those who have worked in the water, they make them doubtful of their physical ability to land him there is a thrill as well as a lot of real hard work with a swim line which is hooked with a nylon line which has a breaking test of only 30 pounds. "Signing" and "Stimulation" "Signing" our name comes down to us from the days when education was so limited that the only signature known to most people was their "signature" or "stick." The signature is derived from the Latin "satipulari," which goes back to "sitipula," meaning a stalk or stick. And we are supposed to have this word from the Latin for "stick." A thin stick between them to make an agreement mutually binding.
