ASKING
YOUR
PARDON
The juniors on the News board
wish to apologize for misquoting
members of the student council in
the article on Chapel Attendance
which appeared in the junior issue.
NEW MOVEMENT STARTED
"Give the faculty a show," is the
sentiment which has been started in
college by the Public Speaking class,
This group, composed of members of
all the classes, expressed the unanimous opinion that there was not sufficient social life at State. One of the
principal reasons given for this defiiciency was that faculty and students
had too little in common outside the
class room. To prove that (here was
a remedy, the class save Dr. Thompson a banquet which was most successful in arousing the enthusiasm
of the class to promote a new relation between professors and students.
Classes such as this which foster
expression of student opinion and offer .solutions to current problems are
of more value to the colleg-e than
most people realize.
TIME TO RENEW
NEW YEAR VOWS
Once more we have passed the midyear mark and are now priming ourselves and getting set for the final
sprint. Twenty weeks viewed as an
entity are just a brief period of time,
but from an individual standpoint
they mean twenty weeks packed full
of work and fun. And the fuller
they are packed with these ingredients, the richer and deeper will be
their effects on our experience of life.
How much more satisfying is it to
live each day well, to perform the
required duties in the daily routine,
and just to enjoy sixty seconds of
each minute. Such a procedure of
living will conserve energy and the
expenditure of brain power along; in
the middle of June. It is then especially that we will feel the joy and
exhilaration of daily accomplishment.
When the spring; fever and the balmy air of the "printemps" gets into our blood, it saps up ambition and

NEWS,
STUDENT OPINION
To the Editor of the News:
Congratulations to 1024! In their
midst (hidden from under class eyes)
lodges the true Spirit of College,
Thru all the noise of bickerings ovar
trivialities comes the clear small voice
saying that real College Spirit" is a
sense of justice which will cause us
to realize that we have received much
from our Alma Mater, and that we
owe in return a high measure of respect and fidelity." '24 says that!
'27 realizes the ignominy of coming
to State one or two or three years
later than our honored brethren, it
appreciates the need of strong' measures to hold its brethren hordes in
check; but it cannot appreciate the
feeling' that only in upper classes can
real College Spirit reside. Do you
think we want to tear down the morale of the institution in which we
have the most interest? We were
g'iven the "Freedom of the College"
by the President and the Dean at the
opening of the year—" it all exists
for you." We haven't forgotten, but
wo are receiving- mostly the "Freedom of its jails." Come on! A fair
chance! Stop and think of your
own first year. You were ready to
do all for the school then, (as now),
weren't you? We're all the same.
'27.
VOTED DOWN
The student body of State has declared its disapproval of the institution of an honor system by voting' it
down, 2 to 1. This situation is disgraceful no matter how any of us
may feel about it; for, after all is
said and done, the fact remains that
a college which is training for leadership and service to the young folks
of high school age should at least
take a stand to encourage the maintenance of honor among its students.
The majority which opposed the acceptance of this system can be divided into three groups, i.e., the
cheaters, the conscientious objectors,
and the indifferent.
The division called cheater is in
reality small, but nevertheless influential. It subdivides into the habitual cheaters and those who will cheat
when they are sure of "getting- by."
These types are unfit to be college
students, but there is always the possibility that they will some day realize that they are the losers. For
when self-respect is gone, what is
loft?
Perhaps the largest number of students could bo classed as the conscientious objectors, who rise in wrath
against the measure which requires
reporting of law-breakers. Many of
them have an illusion to the effect
that those favoring the honor system
would enjoy getting their classmates
"in Dutch.' This is silly, as well as
untrue. There are those who declare
that they would under no circumstances report personal friends. The only
refutation to that argument is tnat
they are poor friends who would stoop
to petty dishonor in the classroom.
Friends worth retaining will profit by
correction and will be the better for

having ideals to live up to. Students
need to acquire the larger point of
view in which they see that the reputation of their Alma Mater is no
finer, no more admirablo than that of
the individuals in it.
The third group is composed of the
scores of those indifferent to the outcome of the issue. Occupied with
their own small interests they feel
no responsibility for the general welfare of our college. It is these students who make us wonder if Dr. A.
Herbert Gray is not correct when bo
says that American college men and
women are stupidly satisfied with
their lot and unaware of their relation to or responsibility concerning
the problems confronting civilization,
In this ago of science no country,
no community can long remain in
isolation and out of communication
with other parts of the world. The
idea of our not being our brother's
keeper is, however, losing ground for
we are learning through bitter experience that everyone must work intordcpcmlcntly in order 'to effect any
improvement in existing conditions.
The community's and nation's fight
for supremacy over evil is analytically the same as the individual's fight
against the evil tendencies within
himself. It is the responsibility of
those who perceive the right to encourage others along the way. Booth
Tarkington reached the heart of the
matter in his statement of the case,
"Man has to win his freedom from
himself, men in the light have to fight
against men in the dark."
After over four hundred voted
down the honor system in chapel we
were on our foot yelling "Rah—
State!" It would bo well to ponder
on what we wore, cheering for, It
must be more than noise and enthusiasm, the foundations should be
truth and loyalty and faith in each
other. Let us look to the foundations of our Alma Mater, and when
wo have laid our college spirit upon
the finest possible ideals our cheers
and our songs will ring out with unerring loyalty and irresistable power.

TIME-BINDING
US
(From The New Student)
"More time! More time!" the poor
over-organized, rushed-to-death collego students are crying. Our life is a
feverish round of one thing after
another! We stay up all night and
dash about all'day and never find satisfaction.
Dr. Karl T. Waugh, Dean of the
College of Liberal Arts of the University of Southern California has
surveyed the activities of the students
of Southern California and, evidently
believing that the cause of low grades
is duo to the fact that students do
not order their lives by a fixed schedule, has made out a program allotting some task to each hour,
At first this program appears rather startling'. Then calculation reveals the fact that Dr. Waugh has
only dissected a five day week. There
are evidently two days, then, on which
one may enjoy a lazy freedom. The
rest of the week is to be divided as
follows:
Class recitations—sixteen hours
Preparatory study—thirty-two hrs,
Dressing and meals—twelve hours
Exercise and recreation—twelve hrs.
Sleep—forty-eight hours
This makes a total of 120 hours or
five full days. It sounds rather ideal,
but simply doesn't work that way.
One would like to do some questionnairing of students. How many ever
got 9Mi hours sleep regularly? How
many ever ate 3 meal3 and dressed—
if only once—in 2% hours? And
then—the
crowning
luxury—6 V»
hours a day for study! Given a stu-
dent and a few books and peaceful
quietness, and this might happen—
but we are given so much morel Do
you remember a day—outside of examination week—when you had six
and one-half hours to study and nine
and one half in which to sloop? Two
of the precious six were perhaps spent
in waiting for "meetings" which failed to meet, and the rest in hunting
for people who had to be seen about
something or other.
Professor
Waugli's scheme is most appealing—
especially the two wholly unscheduled
days.
But somehow, it doesn't fit
the existing college order. Still—

Maybe two lunch periods would do
it."
