THE MICHIGAN DAILY e0LLEGE ROUNDUP: Cheating Forms Basis Of .Campus Discussions At campuses all over the coun- try, there is increasing concern about-cheating on examinations; the relativemerits of proctoring and the honor system are fiercely and sometimes inconclusively de- bated. The problem is usually met by the time-honored college method -setting up a committee. Stu- dents as well as faculty have been active in trying to minimize dis- honesty, though no system has yet been able to cut it down satis- factorily. A NEW REGIME won approval at the University of Southern Cal- friifornia, where three judiciary committees were recognized as the official bodies to deal with cheat- ing: the men's and women's judi- ciary councils and a faculty com- mittee on student activities. Cases will be tried before the student committees, and recommendations made to the faculty. Gulautics Will Use Applause Meter Scorer (Continued from Page 1) ent committee will begin a perma- nent list of student performers who will be available for appear- ances. Both campus and non-cam- pus organizations or private per- sons will be able to pick enter- tainers from the list. Gulantics-goers will get a big dose of variety with the sched- uled list of those who will try their talent. The Barbarous Four," the "Trav-' elers Quartet" and the Vaughan House Trio will compete for quar- tet honors, while the "Golden Ban- tam Boys" will try in a class by) themselves, according to Jim Reiss,1 "head ear."l * * * THE PRESTIDIGITATOR will be Al Goldman and Bob Leopold's Dixieland combo will jazz up the show in the number thirteen spot. A novel piano monologue by1 Patty Joy "the girl who cant make the piano talk," will fillt the other instrumental spot.Y Doris Kays, soprano, Wym Price,X ballad singer, and Conwell Carring-s ton, baritone, will present classi- cal and semi-classical numbers. June Chadwick will do an original acrobatic bllt. BevOlzynski and Bob Tampolin,c pantomime artists, and Sam Dud-t ley, juggling dancer, will round outI the show.I Another new policy was adopted at Pittsburgh University: first of- fenders are given a failing grade, two-time cheaters are dismissed from the university. At the University of Hawaii rules for taking examinations were announced by the adminis- tration: any signs of communica- tion between students will be checked with disciplinary action by proctors; no borrowing of pen- cils, erasers or paper; all books to be left outside test area. * * * ARGUMENTS in favor of the honor system were printed in the student newspaper at the Univer- sity of Colorado. The writer said "every test in school represents a minor crisis; every minor crisis successfully met strengthens an individual's ability to meet major ones." The honor system, he wrote, "would emphasize positive hab- its of test-taking," and by de- veloping a healthy attitude to- ward problems would cut down on cheating. Large schools like the Univer- sity of Virginia, the University of South Carolina, and Stanford University have found the system effective, he said, even though in Texas and California it was vot- ed out as unworkable. * * * OPINION WAS divided on the issue at Geogre Washington Uni- versity; some students felt that the honor system "not only would- n't work, it would be detrimental . .. A few students cheating un- der the honor system would raise the class average sowhigh that others could not keep up." "College students as a rule are in college to learn something . . An honor system among adult students is certainly nat- ural," another student said. Other comments were that the system "wouldn't make any dif- ference because cheating is a hard habit to break," and that "the honor system should be adopted because . . . this is a college not a remedial school." * * * STUDENT government was working on the question at Purdue University. An informal survey of the Student Assembly revealed that the members by an over- helming majority thought the present rules-a modified honor, system-were unsatisfactory. { By a 37-21 vote they favored "a true honor system" with more reliance on students' integrity. Recommendations from the stu- dent committee asked the faculty to "remove the intent to enforce honesty forcibly" and "place the student on his honor." U' Fresh Air Camp Tag Day To Be May 4 Tag Day for the Fresh Air Camp will return May 4 with a brigade of buckets that will dot every corner of the campus. Primary purpose of the Uni- versity-owned Fresh Air Camp is to provide a summer camp for those boys that no other camp will accept because of their bad behavior record. The camp at- tempts to aid these boys adjust to the society they live in. But the camp is also extensively used for recreation purposes by University student groups during the winter months. A total of $16,- 000 has been donated already by campus groups, a large share from sororities and independent women.

"Our protection is not in the suppression of any point of view, but in the reasonableness of peo- ple well-informed and free to decide. No other protection is effective." "A closed and biased mind in social matters is often not impor- tant (math, physics, etc.) and is not at all peculiar to Communists." "If this law were successful, it would be an inspiration, especi- ally in Washtenaw County, for a similar means for ridding the state schools of Democrats."
