ing, with respect to the honor system.
The Michigan Technic suggested a
plan for a so-called honor system,
which plan has been printed on sep-
arate sheets, and distributed among all
the members of the college of engin-
eering. This plan proposes that each
student affix to his examination paper
the pledge that he has not cheated.
The plan provides for a discipline
committee, to deal with all criticisms
and complaints. But how is this com-
mittee to be informed regarding dis-
honesty? Is it the aim of the plan to
have the instructors or the students
themselves report any dishonesty they
have seen? The first plan is not likely
to succeed, as the instuctor is to be
absent from the examination room dur-
ing most of-the examination period,
and will not have much opportunity
of detecting dishonesty the few min-
utes he is present. The second plan
is surely not a feasible one, because
no student likes to report another.
What, then, is the plan for knowing
when a student has cheated? I can
think of only one possible solution:
that a student who has received help
will not sign a pledge to the contrary.
The objection to this is, that a student
who has been dishonest enough to
cheat, will be disbonest enough to say
that he has not received any help.
It is- my opinion that we are not
ready to adopt an honor system. We
must devise a way of approaching it
gradually, and not adopting it at once.

Cleveland High School Alumni Gather
Michigan students, who are alumni
of Lincoln High School of Cleveland,
held a "Michigan night" last Thursday
at the high school building in that city
for present pupils of the school. John
M. Loeblein, '15E, was the principal
speaker, arnd other Michigan men gave
short talks. Students of the universi-
ty from this high school have been es-
pecially active in arousing interest in
Michigan at their alma mater, and have
placed campus publications in the high
school library in an effort to attract
students to the university.

The engagement of Miss Hempel
was considered impossible at the time
the official announcements of the festi-
val were printed, since word had been
received that she would be appearing
at the exposition in San Francisco
during the week of the festival. A
rearrangement of the plans of the mu-
sical events at the exposition has
rendered possible her local appear-
ance as first plarlned, which adds great-
ly to the attractiveness of the festival
program.
A slight shifting of the numbers has
been made necessary by the addition
of Miss Hempel to the program. "Par-
adise Lost," the second choral num-
ber originally scheduled for Thursday
night, will not be given this year, al-
though it is planned to use this num-
ber in next year's festival.
The complete list of artists and or-
ganizations for the May Festival is
as follows:
Leonora Allen, Frieda Hempel, Ada
Grace Johnson, Olive Kline, sopranos."
Margaret Keyes, Margarete Ober,
contraltos.
John McCormack, Lambert Murphy,
tenors.
Theodore Harrison, baritone.
Clarence Whitehill, bass.
Llewellyn L. Renwick, organist.
Harold Bauer, pianist.

ial children's chorus, a special chorus

Prof. A. E. White, of the department
of chemical engineering, was called to
Iansing yesterday to advise on the bill
in regard to the establishing of a law
to insure a better quality of galvanized
iron wire fencing for the farmers of
Michigan.
The movement was started by the
State Grange, and Professor White was
sent to factories manufacturing such
wire in Pennsylvania last February
for the purpose of procuring samples
of their products. A number of tests
have been applied to these samples by
the chemical engineers under the au-
thorization of the board of regents.
Employment Bureau Gives Out Jobs
Besides several odd jobs given out
during the holidays by the Michigan
Union employment bureau, two perma-
nent board jobs and a few others have
been assigned to student applicants
since college re-opened. Several of-
fers of temporary work remained un-
filled at the bureau yesterday after-
noon, because of scarcity of students to
take them.
