SUSPEND CHEATERS IN PUBLIC SAYS SENATE
Committee Recommends Semester Suspension in Clear Cases of Dishonesty
IMPROVE FACULTY METHODS
Professors Suggest Fairer Method of Treating Students—Asks Prompt Reports.
That students who deliberately and with premeditation cheat in examinations should be publicly suspended from the University for a semester, was the recommendation of the committee from the Senate which reported its findings last week. Because of the importance of acceptance of the report the recommendations were not made public until today.
Your special committee, to which Committee of the Men's Student was referred the report of the Joint Council, the Women's Student Government Association, and the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Fellowship, submits cheeting in University work, submits the following resolutions:
The committee further suggested improvements in faculty methods which the student honor sentiment committee said fostered cheating some time ago. The report in full follows:
1. Resolved, that the University Senate cordially approve the spirit in which this investigation has been made and that report made by the Student Committee.
2. Resolved, that the University Senate recommend that Instructors give careful attention to the following suggestion of the Senate Com- mendate (B.) of a satisfactory supervision of all examinations. (B.) Conscientious examination of all required written work (C). Revision of examination question by actual instructors in which question is prepared by the heads of departments.
3. Resolved, the University Senate recommend to instructors the careful avoidance of all excessive assasins of work for particular periods.
5. Resolved, that it is the sense of the University Senate that, in clear cases of deliberate and predemined cheating, the penalty should be public suspension for the student. If the offence is committed before the close of a semester he should be suspended for the remainder of the semester and lose his credits for all semester. If the offence is committed at the close of a semester, he should lose his credit in the course in which the cheating occurs and be suspended for the next succeeding semester.
The Senate referred the report to a committee for minor changes in work.
4. Resolved, that instructors be requested to report all clear cases of deliberate cheating, excluding the student from the class in which the cheating occurs, to the proper authorities for further action.
The faculty took up the matter of dishonesty after a student committee had reported on unfair faculty methods some time ago.

TURN OVER UNION TO VISITING ALUMNI
Building Will Be Open for Old Grads to Enjoy During Their Stay Here
Another advantage of the Men's Student Union will be demonstrated next week when the Union will be turned over to the visiting alumni during Commencement time. The headquarters of the officers of the association will be located on the street and rooms will be furnished for committee meetings, class reunions, and for any other purpose that the graduates desire.
One of the regrettable conditions of the University in the past has always been that alumni who come back to Lawrence at Commencement time will be placed where they are home unless they are members of some fraternity or sorority. The temporary Student Union will furnish a place for the barbs to congregate, play the old football games, games, and reminisce to their hearts content.
The Alumni Association loaned the Student Council $500 for furnishings at the beginning of the semester, thereby assuring the success of the project. The Council has already announced that it will try to raise funds to erect a permanent Union on the campus next year.

FAREWELL
MEMORIAL PRINT WITH CONTRACTOR
The blue print of the senior memorial is in the hands of the contractor. The memorial bench will be finished before or during commencement week. The contractor will notify Bui Bin University his senior memorial committee this afternoon the exact date that he will have the bench completed.
Plans Submitted for and the Work Begins on the Senior Bench
The committee has collected approximately ninety dollars and the bench will cost between $100 and $110. The seniors in the Engineering School seem to be slower than any of the other Schools at this time.
Cale Buckle said this morning that it was absolutely necessary to get the members of the senior class to pay the memorial dues as the com mitee wishes to get the matters o the memorial adjusted at once.
The committee could have had the bench put up for about ninety dollars but this would have been without any decoration, and the committee would not have been appropriate for a moment to be left on the Hill.

LARGE SPREADING SNake
ESCAPES FROM MUSEUM
The large spreading viper snake which has been in a cage at the museum for several days made its escape last night. This snake was about four feet in length and when it out was about two inches wide.
The specimen was brought to the University by Viv Householder and it was planned to keep it in the cage for safekeeping. The museum found an other use for it.
It is thought that the snake is in hiding under some of the material that is in store in the museum, but this is not certain. A careful look at the bodies being made but up to this time no trace of the house net has been found.
Many of the snakes which the University has has been kept in a cage at the museum for some time before them move away in the final resting place.
The viper is harmless.
