'Success of Honor System Assured,' Says Dean Aram
New Rule Welcome by Students of Law School After Failure of Other Plans
"The Honor System," as adopted by the School of Law at the end of the past semester, proved to be successful in every way," said H. W. Arntt, Denn of the School of Law today. "When this system was voted in favor, it was elected to the three-fourth vote necessary for its adoption by a few votes."
I was greatly disappointed by this defeat as were most of the students, some of whom claimed that it was impossible to handle in handling the meeting rather than opposition to the system considered on its morits. Upon the request of a large number of students, it was then decided to accept the system on an optional basis.
Optional Plan Fails
"Under the optional honor system, it was the student's privilege to decide for himself whether he would take the examinations or not. When this was explained to the students, all but about a dozen tried it. These, most of whom were good students, were against the system owing to what they regarded as the failure of a system tried the year before, and that they did not stating that the work was his own and that he had not cheated, at the end of each exam. But the new plan is not as crude as this."
At the end of the final examinations last semester, several of the students who had opposed the adoption of the honor system came to me and expressed their opinion that the success had been a great one. During the exams they had not detected a hit of cribbing where before, they had always observed some. There is no doubt in my mind that the honor system will be almost unanimously adopted by all, during the next examinations.
Will Elliminate Dishonest
"Two essentials are necessary to make this system a success. The whole student-body must be organized to enforce it, and campus sentiment must be in favor of a rigid and impartial enforcement. This system is built into the classroom room work, personal and college property, and library and reading rooms;
"Such a system as this would also prove a success in the University as a whole, as it does at Washington and Lee University. There the honor system, which assumes that every student is a person of absolute truthfulness and honesty, and takes immediate cognizance of all violations of an accepted code of honor through student organizations the permanent faculty, faculty members, or curated of all those who, violating in any degree this accepted code.
"It is my desire to see such a system adopted at the University of Kansas," said Dean Arant. "I am sure that our students have the high sense of honor necessary for the successful operation of the system and I believe we must stand it. They willingly accept the responsibility necessary."
Melvin Discusses Court
"America Can Show She Stands For Better Ethics"
"President Harding's request that the United States accept active membership in the International Court of Justice presents an opportunity for America to show the world that she stands' for better international ethics," said Prof. Frank E. Melvin, of the department of history.
Professor Melvin pointed out that the court, which was a product of the American plans for world government, was essentially a part of the League of Nations. The judge of the court is one of the foremost authorities in America on international law.
"Two main objects stand out prominently as being of vital importance in the present discussions concerning the entrance of the United States as a host nation, and one that is working for a fair trial of the International Court," Professor Melvin said. "This is the opportunity for our country to show the world that American stands for a square deal and is capable of a high standard in these nations."

Steam Shovel Here Today; To Begin Library Excavation
Plan to Have Structure Roofed by Fall if Weather
Permits
Work was started yesterday on the new library. Equipment is arriving daily and a constant stream of visitors arrives from the snow hall. The steam shovel which will start the real excavation will arrive today, according to William B. Anderson, suppentint for Newman Construction Company here.
About twenty workmen are now busy cutting down trees, testing the depth of soil to determine when rocks will be struck, building material sheds, and hauling lumber, steel, and iron sheeting to be used in protecting surrounding buildings from the rain, to the site of the new library.
A frame building just south of the Commons is now half-way finished. It will be used for the construction company's offices and carpenter
The roof will probably be on the new library early next fall if labor and weather conditions continue favourable to Mr. Anderson, the superintendent.
Probably seven thousand cubic yards of earth will have to be removed before construction can begin. This is because the rock and wood will have to be blasted out. This will retard speed of excavation somewhat as the nessness to other buildings on the campus will necessitate in placing large charges of dynamite.

The original date of March 19 was reinhabited to Walter Hampden and he will play "Othello" on that right.
"It is a delightful little comedy—one of the best which has been written," Burton said. The play will be staged in six theaters before it is presented to Lawrence theater-goers. Courtland will be on the present planned tour.

"Must Train Children In Civic Activities," Says Mayor Kreeck
"City officials can solve many problems before they arise by taking an active interest in the lives of the young people' of their community," said Mayor George L. Kreec, of Lawrence, in a talk given the four annual campaign conferences to the League of Kansas Municipalities recently.
municipal Officials Should Take Interest in Young People of Community
"Government is first observed by the young life of the community; your interest, your acts, your personality, all are influences for good or bad upon them, and as an official, you effect their ideals and ideas of government and governmental activities." continued the Mayor.
"Every city should have a welfare department, not a thing delegated to three or four individuals outside of the official family, but made up of the officials themselves," suggested the Mayor.
No boy or girl under seventeen years of age is allowed to be arrested by the police department of Lawrence. Instead they are taken to the office of the mayor and in his talk with them he tries to reason out the mutters that trouble them. If he can get the man to give a boy of responsibility to the community, he feels that he is sufficiently rewarded.
Love of country as well as love of community is included in the training Mayor Kreecw would give the boys and girls in her school. The city schools has been requested by him to teach every pupil the national anthem. He thinks that the study of the Constitution should have been substituted in the school curriculum for in that document rest the principles of right, equity, and justice.

The Drama Magazine for January says of it: "It was not the usual talk of a Saturday night's discussion on Broadway.

It is hard to know what is being expected from dramatist, or the courage of Mr. Brock Pemberton, the producer."
Plans and methods for the campus campaign were outlined for the workers, and a closer organization of the teams and their captains was effected. Louis Miller, student chairman, made a few remarks concerning the necessity for bringing the best to a speedy and successful close, close.
