AN HONOR SENTIMENT WANTED; NOT SYSTEM
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 14, 1914.
NUMBER 91
So Says Investigation Committee in Its Report to Governing Bodies
CHEATING NOT PREVALENT
Recommendations Made to Remed.
Small Amount of Cribbing Done
at The University
"Every student or organization from which we received an opinion favored an honor sentiment agitation and promised support. This shows that the students are working towards this end. The underlying cause is not with the professors; the ultimate remedy must come from the students. The goal to be worked toward is a sentiment that will cause any dishonest student to be ostracised."
This is the attitude taken by the investigation committee of the honor system, in a meeting yesterday to make a report to the Men's Student Council, the W. S. G. A. Y. M. C. A., and the Y. W. C. A.
"We do not find cheating prevalent at the University by any manner of means, but maintain that even a small amount of cheating is this situation provided some good can be accomplished," the committee reports.
The committee does not recommend that any honor system such as is established in some other universities be started here because, an "honor" court is not necessary since all cases of cheating can be reported to either of the two student governing bodies; rigid rules for punishment are not necessary because the governing bodies can handle any cases as they come up; student sentiment, although strong, must be addressed to adding another "system" with its necessary organization; the Student Councils will be fair in any possible investigation.
The faculty is recommended by the committee to stop the practice of disregarding final examination papers and term themes, because of its unfairness to the student doing conscientious work; that the instructor make out his own examination questions; that students caught cribbing should be punished; oftentimes too much emphasis is placed on quizzes. The committee that courses students believe that course "tests" methods are used during quiz time, and courses where no effort is made to punish flabrant cases of cheating, are the places where cheating is found.
the committee is John Madden,
chairman, Kit Carson, Florence Melley
and Kevin McKinley, Mr. McKinley
Warren, John Calbeck, Marie
Sealy and Helen Keith.
Other recommendations are a change of note book assignments and in the "failure and pass" system of grading.
TO ORGANIZE CLAY WORKER'S SOCIETY
To organize an association of Kansas clay workers is the purpose of a convention to be held at K. U. Monday and Tuesday. The University, through its Geological Survey and Clay Testing Laboratory forces state clay workers to invite two state clay workers to meet here on those days.
"Any clay manufacturer of the state," said Paul Teector, Superintendent of the Clay Testing Laboratory at the company, which products he is manufacturing, or what his capacity is, may become a member. The little man will have just as much to say as the larger ones and will all meet on a common ground."
Among the principal speakers of the convention are E. W. Howe, of the Atchison Globe, Iverson C. Wells, editor of Brick and Clay Record, and T. A. Randall, editor of the Clay Worker, and secretary of the National Brick Association. Formation. Kansas brick makers and faculty members of the geology department will also address the convention.
Can Enroll Tomorrow
The students who failed to enroll last Monday will have another chance tomorrow. The enrolling class done with advisors in their offices.

COUNCIL SUSPENDS THREE FOR SMOKING
Men's Governing Body Gives Rule Violators Three Days Forced Holiday
PLEADED GUILTY TO CHARGE
Council Won't Police Buildings or Approaches, Member Says—Confident of Authority to Act
For violation of the rules against smoking in buildings or on the approaches to buildings, three students were suspended for three days each by the Men's Student Council Wednesday afternoon. The suspension will be in effect today and Monday and Tuesday.
Since the cases were the first to come before the Council, the suspension was cut down from a contemplated ten days. Two students pleaded guilty to smoking on approaches to buildings, the other to smoking within a building. The Council meeting was held behind closed doors, only one of the accused being sentenced at a time.
While other students are known to have violated the smoking rule since the Council declared its intention of enforcing it stringently, it was announced in the meeting that council members would not attempt to police buildings or approaches to apprehend offenders. "When cases become so complex," the appointed act," said the chief spokesman in two of the cases. The three students suspended were reported by Council members.
When asked what authority the Council had to enforce the rule, one of the suspended students was told that he was at perfect liberty to run in the courtyard. Another member says the Chancellor sanctioned the move, and a third declares the Council has the authority from the University Council.
ED HOWE WILL TAKE STUDENTS ON A HIKE
Atchison Humorist to Give Famous Travelogue at K. U. Monday Night
Out of several thousand books of travel which have climbed Mount Oread, only two are really readable—the kind you dip into when you haven't any lessons to get. One of them was written by Sir John Mandeville several hundred years ago. The author of the other will saunter into Fraser Hall Monday night. He is Ed. Howe of Atchison.
When Ed. Howe travels, it is not with a 90-day touring party which goes through Rome at thirty miles an hour and crosses the continent in forty-eight hours. That kind of travel doesn't get Ed. Howe. When he goes to tell his husbands that home from him, hays a ticket for himself, and goes wherever he pleases and stays as long as he can stand the hotel fare.
And when the Kansas humorist goes sightseeing, he does not drop in for a chat with the U. S. consul and go back to the hotel and read his guide book. No sir. In thirty years he would have learned that the interesting things are to be found on the side streets where the tourists never go. He goes scouting around for real humanity; the peddlers who sell a slice of Napoleon's armchair for twenty-five cents don't interest Ed. Howe one bitches at him by writing the best set of travel slides to the University with him Monday night that has ever been shown in Fraser Hall.
The book of short stories written by Prof. Margaret Lynn has not yet been issued by the Macmillan Company as was stated in the Daily Kansas Wednesday. The volume will probably appear in about a week.
And here's a hint--it's going to be free. Date-rule off.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL JUST "DIDN'T THINK"
And President Dodd Names Friday as Day for Jay-hawker Election
"Nobody thought about it." That is the reason the election for a manager and editor of next year's Jayhawker was not held Tuesday, as a Student Council rule specifies, as the Lieutenant Dodd, President of the Council.
The Council passed a rule last year that the editor and manager for the Jayhawker should be elected from the Junior class on the second Tuesday in February. That was last Tuesday, but no election was held.
An election will be held, however, a week from today. Two candidates, Blair Hackney for manager, and Leon Hardh for editor, are circulating petitions. Both are experienced in newspaper work.
