Establishment of the honor systemj in examinations in the Medical Schoolj was made probable yesterday when" students of all classes of the schoolf gathered'for a general mass meeting in Natural Science auiditorium to 'have " the proposed system explained to them. Dr. Udo J. Wile, 'acting for' Dean Hugh Cabot, explained -thatiit was proposed to inaugurate a Student council composed' of men~ chosen fro the classes by popular election. With this council will be placed the responsibility of the honor system, andI other matters of discipline, not re- quiring immediate action of the ad-' ninistrative authorities of the Mdi- cal School. The council it is sug- gested, will be composed of one fresh- man, two sophomores and three men from each of the two higher classes.. It is the ultimate aim 'of the school, I according to Dr. Wile, to place in the university catalogue definite rules up- holding an honor system which stif- dents must accept before they will be admitted to the school. Class presidents were asked by Dr. Wile to call meetings of thel various classes to hold' discussions "on the' matter, after which they will be'ask- ed to submit their reports of the meet- ings, which' will be placed' in 'the hands of a faculty committee.

KANSAS STUDENT PLCES" IN ARCHITECT CONTEST Lawrence, Kansas, May 2.-Joseph "United States of music" is the title of an editorial in the New York Times which suggests a international music week in connection with the first nat- ional music week, May 4-10., "There has been organized in Eur- ope," says the Times, "the Internation- al society for Contemporary music, with its headquarters in London, which is referred to by one critic as the capital of this 'new United Statesof music.' That it is internationally con- stituted may be inferred from a per- former by it in Salzburg in August. There was an English singer, German string quarter, French wind players and an Austrian tympanist under an English conductor, with a dozen dif- ferent nationalities represented in the audience." The Times .suggests that an international music week of this ,sort should *be sponsored by music lovers in the :United States.
