What time of night is this to be mak'ng such noises?" boomed a stentoria't voice, and the quartet, innocently engaged in the mel odious rendering of an old favorite, turned in shocking surprise to behold the Judge, the ubiquitous Judge, re garding them with stony stare. How muct more refined to have said, "Gentlemen, pardon my intrusion, but allow me to suggest that you sing a tr'fle more softly. You will, of course, use your own judgement; however, if I am not mistaken, it is now 3 :00 a. nm. Good night to you. sirs." What is the purpose, the object of a "judge" on the campus? Not, as we understand it, the same as those of a p)olicemian, but to encourage the young boys in their efforts to wvork for the furtherance of righteousness. Wh ) ever heard of legislating or forcing men out of hell? We, the self-accla'med intelligentzia, hold that it can't be (lone. Show us a man who compels others to do wvhat lie thinks should b)e (lone, and we'll showv you a Bolshe vik. And (10 we admire Soviet methods to the extent of emulating them ? We sometimes wonder who's in charge, the Dean, or Judge. And (does the former quail, and (lodge arouind corners when lhe sees the formidable Pres ence app)roaching? This Presenice enters our rooms unannounced and univited, by which so (doinig he came p)erilously near to falling into a trap set for another not so long since. Nor (Ie we b)lame him entirely for exercising the authority that is given him; lhe is invested with discretionary pow ers by those higher up, wvho, by the way, don't know everything that goes on with'n our walls. All we ask is that Trhose High Up, those Low Dowvn say to thiemselves: "Backward, turn backward, oh time in thy flight, And let me h~e a boy again, just for tonight." And then the jewels of compassion will sparkle i.n the dlarkness of their righteous wrath, ensuring the safety of an occasional symposium, render'nmg forward youth less furtive, andl syncretizing it with age, as well as mak ing it possible for revelers to rettnrn in the early watches of the morning from b)acchanalian doings at the gym and other places without fear of being made to suffer the ,consequences. And as we now approachi the endl of our argument. let u* say forn the benefit of those who may be inclined to resent these remarks, that the freedom of tIme press is indefeasible. The Honor System Every Day That the honor committee should function only at ex aminations, and during quizes, is a mistaken idea. Every day each student is on his honor to do what he knows is right. If he does not, it is up to-the honor conm't tee to bring him to a trial. Everyone knows one should know that keeping the; text books open in class is as much a breach of the honor system as to copy the answer out of the book on exams. Probably a student has never thougfit about this being dishonest and has formed more or less of a habit of casually reading the answer out of the book, think ing noth'ng of it. Well, if the habit is formed let's break it, if not, it is the duty of the other students, whether on the honor committee or not to report him. In this attempt to stop something that seems to pre vail unnecessarily over the campus, the honor committee needs and asks the support of the student body, and more than ever, the faculty to stand behind us. An Honor Committee Member. - U. S.C. Shame, Freshmen! Any upper-classnian who happened to attend chapel last Friday morning could not help but be displeased (to put it mildly) with the conduct of the Freshman class while the speaker was talking. It is useless to describe the various activities with which they amused themselves. I was sorry that they, everyone of them, (lid not have a rattle and toy train, to satisfy the crying of their instinct of play, little babies as they were. Everyone not only suddenly developed a serious cold and cough, they not only carried on con versations unreservedly with each other, and not bother ing to whisper, but they also burst out in a laugh in unison when the speaker announced that he was making his last quotation. Song books also suffered. Several times the sound of a book being ripped from its cover went through the hall. Freshmen, are you forever to remain babies? Can you not l'sten to a speech without having something to gnaw on, and a nurse along with you? It does not mat ter if the speech happens to be something "dry" and he makes too many quotations. You have long since ceased to be high school students; you have become men, and you should have respect for everyone, much more so for a speaker in your chapel. It happens that the man who was speaking was a financier. Do you think he went away pleased with this institution, when lie came here just to speak on that sub ject? Do you thing you did this institution any good by abusing the speaker? This thought deserves your consideration. Yet not because lie was a financier should you respect him, but everyone should be given the free dom to express his thoughts in our chapel without your trying to draw him out with all sorts of noises. After all, what is an educat'on for, if it is not to teach us patience? An Upper-Classman. -U.s.c. THE WEEKLY ORACLE Don't Trust 'Em, Buddy! /By ('.
