"You can't put anything over on the modern business man. You have to play square. And you must practice common honesty. The teaching of that quality belongs on the program of our schools." -—Cameron W. Reck. "The primary purpose of education is to prepare American citizenship and nothing else."

Tomorrow night State goes to Union to play off the annual court affair witli its closest rival. The Union game heretofore has been the opening game. On Tuesday night the scene of battle will shift to Williamstown where the Gold-jerseyed dribblers will take on Williams' varsity.

At the same time, however, Coach Wegner and his assistant, Stanley Fitzgerald, expect some hitherto unknown stars to uncover themselves. Practically the whole team as it will start on the floor tonight is built around Captain Juckett and Forrest Caton.

DEC I I) 2 3 Page Three ^ \\\\ < • , : • ! • w mm A Case W h e r e It W o r k e d Dear Editor, Several students have asked mo if I woukl report my best friend, This was and is my answer. Yes, I should report my best friend if I saw her cheating under the honor system. I would consider that I was being kind to her in so doing; for, if she cheated while in college without being punished for it, she would cheat later on in life, and the world would punish her much more severely than our honor court could. Then too, suffering refines character arm purifies the soul. Many of our famous men would not have been famous had they not suffered while they were young. Sir Isaac Newton, himself, said that he never cared for school and studying until the school bully beat him. Then ho studied diligently to show that bully that he could beat him at Ins studies. Newton did beat the bully in that way and ho acquired the habit of studying which in later years led to his making one of the most wonderful discoveries ever made in the world of science. Yes, I would report my best friend if I saw her cheating. Then I would be the first one to tell her that she had, been reported by mo and why I reported her. I would toll her that I believed that she was capable of better things. Evon if she were expelled from college, I would keep my faith in her and continue to he her friend. This is not all theory. I have applied my theory to a case in real life, outside of this college and it worked. A few years ago I reported a girl friend for cheating. It was a milder form of cheating than that which has frequently occurred in State College. I went to her and told her what f had done and why. I expected that she would hate me forever after, but to my surprise' she listened to mo and then said: "You did right in reporting me and I am going to take m.v punishment cheerfully." I told her that she was capable of better things. In the talk that followed and the days and weeks, too, while she was suffering her punishment and seeking to reestablish herself in life and to justify my faith in her, we became better friends than we had ever been before I reported her. '2! Why Not A Trial? When the honor system is mentioned here at State College, most of the students view it as an entirely new plan of action. The honor system has been in American Colleges since L842 in some form. In one of the Southern colleges it was the signing of a pledge similar to that read in chapel last week. We too, have had the honor system here at college for the last two years, perhaps longer. When we go into the cafeteria to buy our lunch, we are on our honor to go to the desk and pay for it. Also, both the men's and women's basketball training teams are on their honor to obey training rules, because there is no guardian standing over them all the time to see that they do it. In high school all of us were very familiar with the pledge, "I do so declare." The honor system as proposed in chapel, a week ago, I do not think would go here at College just yet.

They couldn't destroy the work he did "The Republic has no need for savants," sneered a tool cf Robespierre as he sent Lavoisier, founder of modern chemistry, to the guillotine. A century later the French Government collected all the scientific studies of this great citizen of Paris and published them, that the record of his researches might be preserved for all time. Lavoisier showed the errors of the theory of phlogiston—that hypothetical, material substance which was believed to be an element of all combustible compounds and to produce fire when liberated. He proved fire to be the union of other elements with a gas which he named oxygen. This is the mark of the General Electric Company, an organization of 100,000 men and women engaged in prod u c i n g the tools by which e l e c t r i c i t y man's great s e r v a n t is making the world a better place to live in. Lavoisier's work goes on. In the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company the determination of the effects of atmospheric air on lamp filaments, on metals and on delicate instruments is possible because of the discoveries of Lavoisier and his contemporaries. GENERAL ELECTRIC | We have to grow up to that sort of an honor system. Most of the students are willing to sign a pledge to be honest themselves, but object to the clause where they agree to report a fellow student whom they see cribbing in a written test or examination. But, if a student cheats and then boasts about it, he is lowering the value not only of his own diploma and degree, but of yours also. Everyone in this college helps either to make or mar the reputation of our Alma. Mater. Why not give the honor system a trial here at State for the rest of the year? Not much would bo lost and how much would be gained if it proved successful. If everyone, personally, lived up to hisj that, isn't that all the more reason pledge, there would be no need of why State College should got a repreporting any one.
