It will be remem bered that the eyes of colle giate America as well as a great many eyes of political America were turned to Athens last srlng when a group of Univer sity students organized to push the cause of Governor Alfrod B. Smith In his bid for the party nomination. A huge demonstration for Al” resulted in an egg bat tle, In which the oponenta of the New York governor succeed ed In forcing the enthusiastic Smith men to withdraw to cover. The members for the Smlth-for-Presldent club, how ever, continued their efforts and look an active part In trying to get the state of Georgia to put its hacking behind the man who was even then practically con ceded the nomination. The tted and Illnck became actively involved, an editorial being violently attacked by sev eral secular papers In the Car olina*. A great deal of public ity was given the club, the pres ident being asked to write an article for “At" Smith for The New Student. Kvents of the summer show that probably this small group, then considered by many as rad ical, must have been able to foresee the events of the fu ture. Former Governors Joseph K. Brown and Hoke Smith met at the State Democratic head quarters In Atlanta and com bined forces to help the Dem ocratic candidate sweep the Em pire State. Senator Walter E. George, Georgia’s favorite son who ran second to the New York governor for the nomination, small though his total was. has made severs! addresses In other states In behalf of the Demo cratic ticket The state political organiza tion, often blind to the quali ties of Alfred E. Smith before the nomination, has opened Its eyes and now sees “At” Smith, the leader of the people who is sympathetic with them, who knows their needs and desires, and who, above all other candi dates, Is most familiar with the form of government In the Unit ed Stutes. At the University, many of those same students who are understood to have taken part against the Smith supporters in the egg battle, are now ardent workers for the straight Demo cratic ticket. The Smith rally in the chapel next Tuesday should have a far different out come from the one last spring. Dr. S. V. Sanford will put the cause of tils party before the students. The entire meeting is a Univer sity gathering throughout. Orig inally organized by students, planned for the students and faculty members who are Inter ested. the rally should be a suc cess from all points of view. CONCERNING CHEATING "In ninety-nine ways, the students of today are an Im provement on the students of yesterday, but In the hundredth, there Is a sad decline," states Dean S. V. Sanford in referring to the Increase In cheating tn the American universities. “In culture, refinement, and be havior, the modern student Is far superior to the student of my «lay,” says the dean. "How ever." he added, "honesty was foremost and It was no disgrace to full on an examination.” At the University of Georgia, as well as at other universi ties, there seems to be little honor when examination time rolls around. Yale has aban doned its honor system except In the freshman class. No longer do the students who give help consider themselves guilty at all and the students who re ceive assistance seem to have lost all consciences they may have possessed tn the past. Were the list of students dis ciplined for cheating al Georgia last year made public, it would he as surprising as the recent embezzlement cases unearthed In Atlanta. (These cases, tt might lie noted, show that the college students are not tlie only ones who have lost their sense of honesty—tt ts rather general throughout the entire public.) University authorities an nounce that for this session, students found guilty of cheat ing will not he shown the len iency of the past few years. Cases will lie dealt with to the full extent of the rules and reg ulations of the University which, on this subject, are more explicit than ever before. There ts no excuse for cheating, and students found guilty should expect no sympathy from the rest of the University commu nity.
