TODAY, A NEW EDITOR
Today we became an editor. Today we became a tiny cog in the giant machine that grinds out the world's news. Today we became a relatively unimportant laborer in the ranks of those who make up the Fourth Estate. Today we made a start in a grand profession with wonderful opportunities before us.
Things are in one hell of a mess as we start out. We haven't figured out quite clearly yet what we have to offer for their betterment, but we're going to add our little bit with the sincere hope it is worthwhile. Lack of understanding, experience, and knowledge will hamper us for a while, but willingness to learn should be a way out of that difficulty. We're honestly and thoroughly ashamed of our ignorance, and determined to make up the deficiency by old-fashioned use of mind and muscle.
Laziness and procrastination, however, if not vigilantly guarded against, will thwart our plans. What we need is something or someone to spur us on when we lag. An all-absorbing desire to make good would serve, perhaps, or maybe a wife and children.
Anyway, today we became an editor. Perhaps the date will never be significant in the history of Kansas journalism, maybe it's not the red-letter day in my life that we secretly hope it is, but at least it's a start.
LET'S HAVE A DEBT
SETTLEMENT OF OUR OWN
The decision of the state supreme court Jan. 28 that Greek organizations should be taxed did not come as a surprise to fraternities and sororites at the University. The groups for the most part had correctly read the handwriting on the wall and had allowed for the taxes in their budgets. That is, they had tried to find somewhere in already sadly deflated and woe-begone appearing budgets enough to cover this added expense. Most of them have looked in vain.
The tax comes at a time when the Greek houses are already having a difficult time trying to make both ends meet. Few if any houses on the Hill are filled. There are fewer students who can stand the added expense that living in an organized house entails. Deflated family incomes have necessarily resulted in curtailting expenses of those attending the University.
Yet with the decreased revenue, the overheard expenses of operating the house continue much the same. It costs nearly as much to heat and light the half-empty house. The water bills are not paid, whether or not the house is operating at capacity. And practically every organization on the Hill is paying on its house. In many cases, the national council of the organization has had to take over this expense for the time being, the local chapter intending to take back the burden when it is able to assume it.
The Greek organizations, just like the rest of us are having financial troubles. And this added tax burden, coming at this time, is apt to prove the final straw for some
of the houses. They will not be able to provide for this expense and some of them doubtless will be forced to close. This probably will not constitute a housing problem, since there are enough rooming houses and eating places in Lawrence to care for those who will be forced to vacate the organized houses. In fact, it is probable that in the event that all the fraternities and sororites on the Hill should be forced to close, the room and board accommodations of the student rooming house section would be sufficient to care for the students who had been living in the Greek-letter houses.
But such an eventuality should not be allowed to materialize. The fraternities and sororites should not have to close. For with their passing the University would suffer. No one, we feel, doubts the value of the Greek organizations to the school. During Homecoming, the Relays, High School Editors' conferences, Kansas Editors' Roundtables, State Teachers' meetings, and all other meetings of organizations and groups at the University, the fraternities and sororites prove amiable and efficient hosts. The University authorities always call upon the organized houses for board and room facilities. And the whole-hearted and capable way in which they have always responded has been an excellent force for good-will toward the University on the part of the visitors.
The Greek organizations are instrumental in socializing the student, in developing in him the best qualities of citizenship. Being one man in a group of forty men or one woman in a group of forty women is a very good way to learn to live in peace and harmony with your neighbor.
There are too many real values to the University in having the Greek organizations as part of the system for them to be allowed to go on the rocks financially. Some way of saving the houses must be worked out.
One way of helping the situation would be to arrange some sort of settlement between the county and the fraternities. The payment of three years of back taxes with accrued penalties all in one lump when the organizations already are perilously near the financial shoals would be well-night fatal to the Greek-letter houses. If a settlement could be effected that would reduce this burden, the houses might struggle through somehow.
Such an arrangement would be in harmony with recent trends of moratoriums, debt revision, and general easing of relations between debtor and creditor. Such an arrangement would be well worthwhile if it would mean that the organized houses could continue in operation.
Whether such a proposal could be consummated and whether it would be possible under the law would have to be decided by legal authorities.
During the recent flurry of final examinations, the question of employing the honor system frequently was raised in student circles. Under this plan, a student's honor would be the only inducement to use the dishonesty in an examination.
Honor Systems Seem Doomed in Age of Ingenuity—
Honor systems are being experimented with throughout the country. Some apparently are successful; others are being abandoned. Here at Indiana University, it will be difficult and it would be difficult to determine if students would be more honour on examination if it were in force here. Unacupulous students, knowing the role of police, sometimes take advantage of this. An elaborate system of cribbing has been devised. Perhaps you were not too busy in the course of a test when you want to have noted some of the following skills to be followed by dullards about you:
Our Contemporaries
A long narrow strip of paper with matches glued at both ends was rolled up from both ends and held in place by a rubber band. It could be manipulated easily in the plam of the hand and was very popular with the less scrupulous students, judging from its wide range of materials books were filled with visual facts and placed in the blue book to copy from while taking the examination.
More meticulous students purchased yellow lead pens and with hard lead inscribed information on the sides of the penshell. This, no doubt, was very baffling to assistants conducting the tests. Adhesive tape containing memo-paper was pasted to the inside of the write pad in order to many who had little faith in their memory. This "crib" also seemed to work well beneath mesh stockings.
One of the most original methods of cheating, perhaps, was that used by a young lady who made index cards of her course and placed them inside her chair. What professor would debulate a perennial question frequently to serviously powder her nose during the turmoil of an exam? Another ingenious fellow made a complete circular crib movable around his bigger above the knee. He then made a sill in one of the grooves of his curtains to slide down and thank you. There were many other术者 cheating employed, almost albeit too daring to believe—all of which brings us to the question at hand: if such practices can be employed successfully in a room half-filled with students and teachers, watching professors and their assistant tutors, students under an honor system<sup>1</sup> - Indiana Daily Student.

CHAPTER IIII
一
Everything seemed to be summed up in her simple statement. She spread her arms heeledly, and the young man stared at her.
"I had hoped not to tell you"—she was speaking in a soft, tired voice—"until we should have been divorced or had the marriage annulled. He asked if I had died or gossip or whatever it would have been. I was waiting until graduation. Then I was going west or to France or somewhere and quietly have the whole misunderstanding ended. But I don't know what happened to change things about Larry."
"I understand, I wish you had told me before, though, and going back to the beginning . . . what caused out to—to become unfortunate?"
She gave a little smile of dislike. "Several things, Larry. I talk frankly—because it is your right to know. Before we were married, Pat and I agreed that the marriage was to be a more formal summer. We were to have dinner with Mr. Murchard since he came to Marlanc—but that all was. It wasn't long after the ceremony that he made it clear that he didn't intend to keep the bargain."
Her cheeks were flushed and Larry' were dred white.
"No need to go into detail. It wasn't very pleasant. I didn't regard myself as his wife and told him so he would be there, and he led it to another..." and then we had our first quarrel. She gave a short, bitter laugh. "One can find out a good many things about a man when he is thoroughly angry. I found that the guy was too mad, and we had finished I told him that he might have saved himself the trouble of going through with a marriage core money. I told him I intended to get a divorce immediately, and then, Larry was when the clown blood became us."
"I hated that idea, Larry. I love
"I married. I wanted my degree from
here. I stalled him off, and was sup-
pressed that he seemed content to wait.
He then disappeared-he came to me and
asked the ship of a large sum of
money!"
"Good Lord! You don't mean . . . ",
"Freeledly, Blackmail. I refused

them to keep secret. No divorce, and
just no annulment. He intended to
tasminate . . . , to let the student
body form its own opinions. I called
him and he admitted that he was. He
never miss the amount he wished to
borrow—which was true—and, any
way, I leaned it to him. In the months
after he graduated from college, money, Larry—just to keep his dirty mouth shut. And it lilt the amount.
It was terrible to feel that I was
bearing him by a man whose name I
received as my boyfriend. I wanted to
mend it to by us ting for an annu-
ment. Then I'd think about the embrassment of staying on at Marlton after the gossip became general—and
I would have planned to plan to wait until after I had my degree.
Then to end the affair
legally." She passed for a moment,
then turned impulsively toward the
man. "I wonder if you understand?"
"And you think I was cowardly?"
"Not a bit. I think you've been rather fine about it."
"Of course I do, dear."
She noticed his manner of talking: there was nothing soft or gentle in his voice. It was oblivious that he was quiet, and he effort to keep himself under control.
She was surprised. It was the first time in the four years she had known him that she had ever seen him gripped by anger. There was someone behind her. A set of his hips and the blue of his eyes had changed to an ley gray.
Pat. Goodness knows I'd be the last one him to blame for wanting to marry you. I even*' he besitched that an instant, and his cliché — unloaded — blame him when you told me that he wasn't awful keen about keeping his part of the bargain . . . , about *at least* until summer for a honeymoon.
"I've kept pretty quiet, Tony," he said, choosing his words with meticulous care. "At first I was all with
"But the rest of it . . . it's pretty rotten. That any man should have married you because you have a little money; that he should have black-matted you for two years; that he should have been—well misha to him. That this has pretty hard, Tony; perhaps because I care for you so much.
"Then there Ivy. I was fair to him about that, Ivy's a nice kid, and pretty—even if Ivy is my sister. If he knew what business they were doing their business, but if it lacks a married man—and that kind of a man, . . .
He creeps傻逼. "I'm going to have a pretty straight talk with Mr. Patron Thayer. A pretty d—n straight
"No!" She was on her feet and her hand was on his arm. This new Larry frightened him.
"Can't you see that you mustn't clash with it?" He'd be able to get masty and spread the story. You mustn't go to him now."
"I've got to. Leave yourself out of it, if you wish. I will get to consider Ivy. His affair with her can be permitted to run on."

"That's true," she said thoughtfully. Then an idea came to her and she looked up brightly, "Let's compromise, Larry. You go chant with lry. See if you can do that." She course she mustn't know that I'm Pat's wife. But see if you can't get her to do what you want—to stay away from Pat. And meanwhile I'll go to Pat right now. I'll tell him that he if concludes the truth to the whole campus. That will spike his guns. Don't you see that the sensible thing?
"This time, Larry," she said. "I'll make him understand that I'm not bluffing."
