THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1927 HORACE GREELEY February, birth month of Washington, Lincoln, and St. Valentine, also lays claim to another notable figure in history. Horace Greene, born 115 years ago today on a New Hampshire farm, lived to wield a greater power over the minds of men than any other writer of his time. His was another type of journalism than is seen today. The arrival of the Weekly Kriety in the turbulent days before 1800 meant a chance not only to know what happened, but to read what Greedley thought about it. His was not a journalism capable of being satisfied with merely telling the facts. There was work to be done, and Greely's words stirred the hearts of men to do it. He had a passion for reform. Espousing the tenets of the Socialist Fourier, then regarded much as we regard Lenin now; battling for abolition when the word itself was anathema to thousands of good people, writing what he did, Greely's words were designed to create action. Nominally a Whig (titer Republican), he declared in founding the Tribune, "My leading idea was the establishment of a journal removed alike from servile partisanship on the one hand and from gagged, micing neutrality on the other." That very impartiality which today is regarded as the sine quin non of a good newspaper was regarded by him as something immoral. Agitation of the sort which furnished Greckey his fame is today reserved to the weekly "journals of opinion." This specialization, he hawled by newspapermen of the old school, has led to daily periodicals which at best present the facts without stirring the hearts of men to remedy ill conditions. Shall the aim of newspapers today he the passive one of exposing maladjustments in society, or the active one of stirring the people to remedy the trouble? That is a question which teachers of journalism and practicing journalists are asking themselves, Horace Greasey answered it fully and forcefully in his time. Will his answer fit today's conditions? MAKE A WISH "If wishes were horses, then beg gars could ride..." When you were a child that little bit of dogge fascinated you. You wondered then if it could be true; you wondered what life would be like if you could wish and all the things that your children heart craved would be yours merely because you desired them so passionately. Most of all, if you were a little boy or even a little girl, you wanted a horse, a huge, swift steed, with flowing mane, ferry eye, and flashing hoof—a horse that could whisk you off to enthralled realms in the twinkling of an eye. So you wished and wished but it never came true. But today, ab- that is different. For today you may buy a horse at auction for only thirty cents, almost the same as wishing, so slight is the sum. In a Pennsylvania town, three horses sold at auction for ninety cents, reports say. Just three shiny MAN AND NATURE The chatter of the people on one side And, on the other, laughter of the low Small aeromics, bridge and politics Fronting the silver silence of the moon.

Niven in All's Well. dimes that even a youngster could gather together. At last the old verse has come true, although it has taken many long and tiresome years. But, you say, "I don't want a horse any more; I want a car, a stand of pearls, a trip to Europe. Probably the horse would not be even worth the thirty cents. I wouldn't take it as a gift." With the passing years you have given up your belief in such clean and wholesome things as childish wished; you have lost touch with your youth; you have become hardened and blase. It is impossible for you to be young again only for a moment. If you could—then life would be as fresh, as promising, as it was when you were five. For you could wish for a steed and—presto! the wish would become reality. A ONE-YEAR RULE FOR FOOTBALL One of the most commendable of suggestions for deflating the overemphasis on intercollege football is contained in a recent issue of The New Student. As advocated at the second annual congress of the National Student Federation in Ann Arbor, it provides for a restriction of students to one year of participation in varsity football. The benefits which would result run such a plan may be summarized hum: It would decrease the conspicuity of individual football stars, and thereby decrease the overemphasis on football. It would increase the number of men receiving the benefit of varity experience. It would make it possible for students to act as coaches in the senior year, thus obviating high-paid professional coaches, making football more of a student affair, and giving valuable training in leadership. It would make it unprofitable to hire or subsidize athletes. It would increase the emphasis on intra-mural sports, and improve their quality. And it would give each man an opportunity to become proficient in other sports which would perhaps be of more use to him in later life than football. This plan would lessen some of the more glaring faults, but it is no panacea. Commercialism, although in a lesser degree, would still remain; local business men would still demand a winning team, purely as a business proposition; alumni would still vociferously cry for a victorious team, and resort to the same expedients as they do now to obtain one. Many athletes instead of remaining in college until they had completed three years of participation, might drop out after having played one year. An unguaranteed amount of time for practice would still be required if the student wished a place on the team. Nevertheless, it is a moritious plan and one which may have to be put into effect if intercollegiate football is to be saved. HONOR IN DEPARTMENTS Miami University is finding the honor system unworkable, judging from an editorial reprinted in these columns from the Miami Student. In student enforcement of the law is seen the death knell of the system. If the University of Kansas adopted an honor system in the college as a whole it would probably meet the same fate. The group in which pub- K. U. SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA: First rehearsal of this semester will be held Friday at 3:30 p.m. in room 68 central Administration building. K. O. KUEEREN, Director.

Thursday, February 3, 1927 No. 99 www.univ.edu THE DEATH KNELL OF THE HONOR SYSTEM (Miami St.) But within this University are honor systems working efficiently throughout the term. Students in the School of Law, the School of Business, and the School of Engineering took their finals again this semester with freedom from supervision and the right to move about when they those. There would always be some classes which would not fit well into small departments; freshman group classes might be an example of these. But by the end of the sophomore year and the beginning of the junior each student is well departmentalized and it is in those upper classes where the honor system might be successfully started. A scientist or a linguist has this group feeling with other majors in his department and through this attitude the necessary spirit could be fostered. Honor means something to them because the smallness of the group has enabled this element of student opinion to set the standards. When a law student is tempted to cheat he knows he will lose the regal of the other members of his school. If it is true that the system will work within the smaller group, could not the College be divided into more closely knit departments, which acting as a school, could gain that public pressure which is so necessary to a successful beginning of the tradition of honour. Contrarily in the college the student who is able to crib successfully is often regarded as accomplished, or in hold in indifference. The opinion of the other members in his class is of no significance to him. The students who have publicly expressed their determination to see that the honor system is enforced in the examinations conducted this week and next are taking probably the only step which, under present conditions, can make the system enforceable. It cannot be considered an actual "police" command as such they are simply reaffirming the fact that we will not when enrolling in the university. Call it what we will, we cannot escape from the face that if these students stand firm in their position, the examinations will be conducted in the proper order. These students have made public statement that they will report angl and all violations of the honor system as it is now in effect. This is probably the first chance to preserve the government of examinations by students. If this expedition—and it is an expedition that will be conducted under the direct supervision of the faculty, if such a step is taken without protest by the students, it will be an open admission on their part not that they have no honor but that they have an obligation unable to assume social responsibility. it is highly probable that the trend today at Miami is toward the faculty proctored examinations. It is equally probable that students will with the tooling of the student body as it is, all examinations should be turned over entirely to the care of the faculty. The students have dementia, so we assume their share of responsibility it reporting offenders. Only one case reported this year to the Student Senate for action under the honor system was reported by a student. The general feeling of the student body toward the honor system we feel to be The present action of the formation of a vigilance committee to protect the honor system we feel to be one very definite step in the direction of turning over the control of all commissions to the faculty of law and the police system" it is true. And yet, stripped of its camouflage, it is nothing else. A certain group of students are going to see to it that the honor system is enforced. It will work. But in its very working it sounds the death knel of the honor system. Students as a whole have a moral responsibility for the maintenance of the present system. A small group must do it. We have then only to consider how much more effective would be the work of those who knew their students, who bore the responsibility for passing them, and who could deviate their entire time during an examination by any kind of preparation of honesty in the classroom. The proposal of a vigilance committee is good as an expedient. But it is another step on the road to faculty controlled examination. The committee will be on the progress will be rapid, and, under present conditions, the specifier the better.
