Cheating is the most serious problem
which >ve have to face in our college
life. It is theft —theft of goods, ma
terial, mental, and’ spiritual. If u stu
dent cheats through a course, she gets
credit for work that she has not. don
and for knowledge thai slfr does not
possess. Then she goes out into the
world to accept a position, and to re
reive pay for that which she is not
really competent to do. —
One w ho "cnpiei from the book
paper of another student is more
jiv lespined than one who, in need)
circumstances steals bread or clothing
Our government hjjs passed strict
copyright laws to protect the produc
tion of a man’s brain. Hliall we,
our college life, whirl)' ia a miniature
government, permit this thing to gi
unpunished^ One's education should
fit one for Tntellectual and moral lead
ership. One who pretrnds to bo fitted
for such, leadership and is not,
cheat, a hypocrite; she tries fo gain
power by false pretenses and to “plan
off” on the world a life that is" root
the truth. • ,-
Our college must take a stand
this matter. Hornething must be done
to stop it. In Bessie Xiit various
method* have been tried, and all have
failed, Tha present method, a modi
fied system, has not sueceedvd. The
cheating has continued. Many of the
teachers and students -believe that the
problem can be solved by adopting the
honor system in full. Thia ia the plan:
At ths beginning of the school term
before any tests are given, the presi
dent of the student -body or someone se
looted for the -duty shall explain the
honor system. Everyone shall be told
what it means. The consequences of
breaking tke rail are made clear. Ev
eryonc understand#. There is n<
threat. The regulation j is not made

for the majority, but it is mode
curb, the evil amd to stop it in the
case of some, who, because of lack, of
training, need restrictions. Also each
teaeher shall be requested to explain
•the entire system to her classes.
The honor system applies to copying,
plagiarism, and to all forms of cheat-
tag that may be ' practiced. Any
student found guilty of any of these
ofifeaeA .shall be expelled. It shall
a«t lie the duty of every girl to re
port, any (hosting that she may see.
When we fiQt think of sending the
girl home it seems najnst But a se
rious offense calls for a serious pun
ishment. Rome people have muel to
say about the disgrace does not lie in
thisT She is s' disgrace when she
cheats, and not when she is expelled
The tending home merely stamps it
outwardly. **..
Is expulsion for the first ofense too
severe a punishment 1 There should be
no first offense after full explanation.
This it no more to be expeeted than
that one would touch a death-dealing
electrical machine after being warned
against it. The logical way to break
a bad habit ie to break it at dnfce anjl
not by degrees. If a girl has acquired
the habit of cheating in high school, is
there any reason for allowing this to
he continued in collegef
The students, aa well as the faculty
must be behind the movement and
must be honor-bound- to report any vio
lation. 4t is not “tattling,” for it is
done for the good of all concerned. A
girl should’Report this just as a citizen
of a state reports any lawbreaking.
The most efeetive way to'get the
right-thinking people to do the honor
able thing is to show them the right
and wrong and give them full choice
as to whieh they will do. Trust a peri
son and let him know that you .trust
him and he will not disappoint your
trust. It is through this appeal to the
student’s honor that the system de
creases • cheating. . ■
• It ia true that it will not prohibit
cheating. Nothing will’ do this, any
more than police and prison bars pro
hibit the theft of material things. But
it will lesaen. it.
Why not put in the honor system fit
once, ami create among students and
teachers of Bessie' Tift a sentiment
against the disintegrating and demor
alizing habit of cheating”
About the time the above article ap-
lieared in )he .IoernHl, the stndent
Iki.Ht at Bessie Tift discussed thor
oughly the honor system and adopted
it in every detal. At the beginning of
each ' semester, the attention of the
the student body will be called, to the-
rule. Occasionally during the session
and especially about examination time,
-the importance ;of honesty in the class
room will be entadiasized.

TECH TEAM PLAYS
THIRD CLOSE GAME
DOPE SHOWS MERCER FIVE
MUST HUSTLE FOR CONTEST.
SPARKS TEAM LOSES
TO BREWTON PARKH
‘By Carlton W. Binju. .
Atlanta, Ga.—Old Man Hird
Luck still continues to, camp on the
trail of the Tech basketball team
and for the third timfe thia season
the quintet representing the Atlanta
school has gone down in defeat after
hard and nerve racking struggle
by a margin of only a few point*.
This was the case here Saturday
night when the five from Auburn
won an exciting game by a, score
of 30 to 28.
The game started out with a push
arei at no time during the content
were the spectators given an oppor
tunity to sit- back and take a good,
long' breath.- •
The contest had all the earmarks
of a backyard'football- -game at
times,: but this was cxusedl more
perhaps on account of the closeness
of the score than through the ri
valry which' exists between the two
schools.' The neck and neck race
for the final •victory can be no
better illustrated than by referring
to-the fact that the first half ended
with the Yellow Jackets leading in
the 12 to 11 score.
In the second half the Auburn
forwards began to ring the baskets
in such consistent order that B>«
visitors soon had a-lead of nine
points on the little tornado.
With- defeat staring them, in the
fact the Jackets called time out
and held a conference in the middle
of the floor. Some one must have
slipped a bug in Buek Flowers’ ear
for as soon as play -wu resumed
he cut loose from his guard and
threw three field goals in rapid
fire order. Bully Mayer added an
other and the Tech rooters went
wild.
The’ Auburn players fought liko
The Brewton-Parker basketball
team won froth Sparks quintet by the
score of 16 to 13. .v
True to their name the. five from
Sparks wanned up the dreary cold
day considerably in the hot game
against Prof. Barrett’s boys.
Spectators had little time for
friendly chats u the quick work on
the part of both teams claimed all j mad men at this point in the game
their attention. B. P. I. lead the 1 and succeeded in holding the bap
score but Sparks gained until the j a nce in their favor. A foul wu
score stood 9 to 9. As..turn about called on Tech just U the whistle

Baseball will soon be here and the
fans are busy doping out the best
team. This is all guesswork, so no
faith can be, put in their estimates.
The prospects for a good team are
favbrable. Four or five old men are'
back and the new material is prom
ising. Bexley, who played on the
team two years ago, is in school this
year and Stein, a farmer Gordon
player, is here. '
It-is understood that Coach Combs
will not be back this sesson. Coach
Combs was here for two years and
will be sorely missed by the school.
Coach Newman, who so ably pioted
the football team last fall, is ex
pected to do equally well on the dia
mond. ('oach Newman was the star
of the Howard College team for two
years. He should be able to live up
to all expectations. Everything con
