Professor Moore, the new member of the Law School faculty, has inaugurated the plan of putting his students on their honor in all his quizzes. The thing has been done here before in many instances, but no one has made a regular practice of it. Students have not been put on their honor particularly, and some instructors watch over their quizzes in a way that would drive an honest student to fudging simply to outwit his instructor. Students usually do what is expected of them. University students are not children, or should not be. Very few of them would violate the confidence of their instructors, if it were given fully. At eastern institutions a man would as soon steal as crib under the honor system. Let's concede that students are men and women, and treat them as such. Inaugurate the honor system in all classes.
The croakers who have been bewailing the death of University spirit had to take a back seat yesterday and cease their croaking "Never more." The spirit may be dead, but the postmortem ceremonies revealed the existence of a pretty lively corpse.
The demonstration which started at chapel yesterday a quarter of an hour ahead of the hour for services lasted until noon, and was resumed again this morning when the rooters began to stir at four o'clock. No such outburst of enthusiasm has ever been witnessed at the University in all its history. It spread to every department of the University like wildfire, and all the instructors who are
built on right principles dismissed classes and let the outburst have full sway.
It was an inspiring sight to watch the procession winding over the campus headed by "Uncle Jimmy" Green and the University band. If anybody has any fears for the spirit of unity, let him notice that the engineers were among the first to rush into Green Hall to get "Uncle Jimmy" to head the line; let him also recall that everybody, Pharmic, Medic Special or what not, was in line and was there in the best of spirits.
Let the spirit grow. Don't let's forget that the team is coming back tomorrow; that we are going to swipe the Tiger in only a few days; and that we're going to have a football jubilee at the end of the season for the men who have been fighting for the crimson and the blue.
Everybody in the University was glad when the news spread that Charley Ise had gone back to the squad and went to Lincoln yesterday with the team. A man who was less the man would have found it hard to go back. Ise was ready and willing when he found that Coach Kennedy wanted him. When both men got together and talked the matter over plainly yesterday, it was plain that neither one was entirely at fault.
Ise is back to stay all season on the bench if the best interests of the team require it—with full manly spirit enough to take whatever comes.
Everybody in the University is commenting on the good showing the band made in the chapel yesterday. The music was good, the new uniforms are all that could be desired, and the band has come to be an organization to be respected.
And who is to get the credit?
We've all the correct shapes in both stiff and soft Hats.
Different faces require different shaped Hats.
Splendid soft and stiff Hats in Fall blocks at $2.50, $3.00,
$3.50 to $5.00.
It would be difficult for us to "crack" up any one style without neglecting another equally as good.
Speaking of Fall Hats!
We're loaded with them.
We fit the face as well as the head.
We charge nothing for the label -we sell the Hats.
You get a "just right" Hat if you buy here.
No fancy prices to pay for some maker's name.
Three or four years ago the band was a heterogenous bunch whose personnel was constantly changing, and whose playing was equally erratic. It isn't the legislature nor the regents, nor the faculty that have worked the change. It has been done alone—and one man has done the most of it. John Hawkinson who has been the leader of the band for three years, is director, business manager, press agent and prime mover. He has been sawing wood all the time, and we have a band that we need not be ashamed of. If every fellow would put the same spirit into his club, it would not need a microscope to note the effect.
