THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1921. Night Editor-HUGH W. HITCHCOCK ADVANCING THE HONOR SYSTEM As the expressions of men who viewed objec- tively the workings of the honor system on trial in the literary college the answers given by the faculty ;to the questionnaires sent out by the ,senior honor committee are especially noteworthy. Of the faculty men who replied, only two gave opinions opposed to the honor plan; and as these two had not taken part in the experiment, the faculty report of the actal test must be taken to be unanimously fav-. orable. This endorsement, coupled with the conclusions of those who have actually taken part in the exam- inations and of those who have become connected with them in other ways, firmly establishes the fact that the trial among the upperclassmen in the lit- erary college has been a practical success and that the extension of the honor system will be a posi- tive advance for Michigan. As has been suggested, this extension must be a gradual one. That is, the plan cannot most favor- ably be adopted by a whole college all at once but should be taken up class by class as it repeats suc- cesses until it has been introduced throughout. However, it should be remembered that the real factor that will determine the speed with which this establishment will take place is .not the calendar but the rapidity with which it proves satisfactory, and this matter is entirely in the hands of the students. If we can keep up the good record so far estab- lished when cribbing is so seldom practiced that no instances have been heard of by the student honor committee or the faculty, the honor system will be the only system in the lit school in a relatively short time. THE STUDENTS' REASON We, the students of Michigan, feel the necessity for the passage of the proposed University appro- priation more urgently in all probability than any other class. We realize as the "party of the first part" the handicap that we are operating under due to the shortage both of rooms and instructors. We know that in the past our University bas borne an honored name as one of the best institutions of higher learning in America, and we want it to carry that name into the future. Our fear at present, perhaps based on our natural youthful enthusiasm, is that the high prestige which Michigan has gained will be seriously endangered if our present deficient equipment is not bettered and increased at the earliest possible moment. That the results of an earlier era of Michigan in- struction were well worth while is evidenced by our long roll of distinguished alumni wlio have ex- celled in business, in law, in medicine, in politics and statesmanship, and in she learned sciences. It would be foolish indeed to presume that the men who come to the University of Michigan are in any sense more competent naturally than those who may be found at any other like place. The only possi- ble conclusion is that they excel because of the training they have jreceived here. If our equip-h ment and training should now remain insufficient for our needs the men who'graduate from Michi- gan will unquestionably be less able than were their predecessors to face a world which has lately been taking great educational strides. Their accom- plishments will not come up to those which a Mich- igan graduate should be expected to attain for, the benefit of society and himself. The average student is willing to leave the sta- tistics to others. We believe implicitly that the budget demand, so conclusively explained to us, is necessary and right. We know of the needs by be- ing placed every day in personal touch with them, and by realizing what a better building here, more materials to work with there, more room in this and that lab or classroom, would mean to us. We could hardly be blamed for demanding the budget oil per- sonal motives; but our real reasons, the reasons we think and talk amohg each other, are those of loyalty - the desire to read of a greater, and not a retrograding Michigan, when we have graduated. Pride, to be sure - but not false pride - motivates us. Would the state be worse off it is possessed this same pride i its educational institutions, and turned it into a practical force in the coming budget? ARE YOU A PROFITEER ? During the past few years we have heard much about the profiteer. He is generally thought of as the man -who charges more for his goods than they are worth. A new meaning was given to this word, though, by a prominent faculty man in an ddress before a group of University men. He divided the profiteers into two classes - the commercial profiteer and the social profiteer. The latter, he said, is the man who capitalizes his so- cial position in such a way as to extract more from the community in which he lives than he contrib- utes. By way of illustration, this was applied to the college student. It takes money to go to college, and very often this money does not come easily to those who sup- ply it. This is not all. The people of the state con- tribute to the maintenance of the University, and they may justly demand a return upon the invest- ment. Now the quesion is - are those who are attending the institution worth *hat is being spent on them? Are they preparing themselves to render greater service to their community and to the na- tion? If not, they are profiteers. This man, being a lawyer, laid down a simple test by which you can determine 'whether you be- long to this class or not. Ask yourself each morn- ing whether you are worth the money that is being expended in your behalf. If you are not you are a profiteer, and it is up to you to get busy or get out. ~~ The Telescope Bud Bevo, of Contest fame, now comes forward to show his latest brain child to the gaze of an ad- miring public. Whether apologies are due Tenny- son and his "Crossing of the Bar" we leave to our readers. Sunrise, and not a star, And my Ford waits for me.

Dear Noah : Is it true that the French novelists have done much for the morals of the American youth? If so, in what way? George Ette. Yes, this is true and mostly so because they have written their novels exclusively in French. Help! Help! Help the Telescope!
