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 OVERSEAS CLUB TO ENTERTAIN FEB 12 GUESTS TO INCLUDE GIRLS FROM BESSIE TIFT AND WESLEYAN. 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.

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.

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.
