i CHEATING: ELON PROBLEM
By DON KING
An often stated, but seldom used,
quote appears in the Bulletin of Elon
College. It reads, “The heart of
Student Government is the Honor
System, initiated by the student body
. . . Each student who enrolls at
Elon accepts the obligation of the
Honor System and should recognize
the full responsibility of the Honor
Court for handling offenses under the
code.”
With examinations starting at the
end of this month, the Honor Sys
tem again arises as a major problem
and concern on the campus. In the
ory it is a master plan, set up by
idealists who could not see the for
est for the trees. In practice, it is
non-existent, and therefore the Honor
Pledge should be removed from all
papers.
I would venture to say that at least
ninety per cent of the entire student
body has violated the Honor Sys
tem in one way or another at least
once during college years. Further
more, over half of these students are
habitual violators.
It would appear to any level-
minded person that when a student
signs the Honor Pledge before he
even starts a test that the Honor
Pledge means nothing to him, that
it is only a formality which goes
along with signing his name, the date
and the course in which he is taking
the test.
Students see other students cheat
ing on tests, term papers, book re
ports and exams all the time, but
they just do not want to get involved.
They do not realize that the person
cheating has a better chance on the
test than they do, even if they spent
four or five hours in studying for the
tests.
The grades then are not a true
representation of the individual’s
ability, and if a professor should
curve the grades, cheating could af
fect the curve considerably.
If a student cheats in college and
gets away with it, then he is likely
to continue cheating after he gets out
of college. When a person is caught
cheating in the business or adult
world, the penalty is a lot tougher
than being reprimanded and sent
home. His reputation would be ruin
ed, and he would be a marked man
for the rest of his life. Therefore,
students should be discouraged from
cheating now.
The only way to do this and be
assured of the outcome is to have
professors in the rooms at all times
during exams. The college should re
quire professors to do this, for it has
an obligation to all students of Elon
College to assure them an equal and
fair opportunity in taking examina-
The Elon College Concert Band I
will present its annual spring concert
in Whitley Auditorium at 8 o’clock
next Thursday night under the di
rection of Prof. Jack O. White, fea
turing a wide variety of music from
both classical and popular fields.
The Elon Band, which has gained
a wide reputation for its perform
ances as a marching unit during Elon
football seasons each fall, has gained
equal praise for its concert work
when it takes to the stage for its mid
winter and spring programs each year.
With Professor White also serving
as director of the Williams High
School band in Burlington this year,
he will present a selected group of
his Burlington youngsters as guest
artists with the college band in this
spring concert, just as he did with
his winter program.
The curtain will rise next Thursday
night on “Dawn of Peace,” followed
by “Prelude No. 14 in E Flat Mi
nor,” arranged from the works of
Shostakovitch, "Overture in B Flat”
by Giovannini, and then by Tschaik-
owsky’s “1812” overture.
After an intermission, the band
will present “Red's White and Blue
I March” from Red Skelton, Leigh’s
Man of La Mancha,” Camarata's “A
Trumpeter’s Prayer,” with Garth
Huston in a solo role, Jarra’s “The
mes From Dr. Zhivago” and high
lights from “Hello Dolly.”
The musicians who will appear in
the concert next week, listed in in
strumental groups, are as follows:
FLUTE: Candy Hopewell, Ports
mouth, Va.; Laura Norville, Burling
ton; Barbara Crotts, Burlington; Car
men Black, Burlington.
DIRECTOR
PROF. JACK O. WHITE
Prof. Jack O. White, who will di
rect the Elon band in its annual
spring concert in Whitley next Thurs
day night, will return to the auditor
ium stage in a solo role the following
Thursday night, May 18th, when he

recital. His appearance is one of the
annual series of faculty music pro
grams during the year.

The colleges which are included in
the Foundation group are Atlantic

High Point, Lees-McRae, Lenoir

Among the outstanding business fig
ures serving on the board of this
Foundation are Archie K. Davis, of
Wachovia Bank and Trust Company;
Charles F. Myers, Jr., of Burlington
Industries; Alex Galloway, of Reyn
olds Tobacco Company; Buell G.
Duncan, of Piedmont Natural Gas
Company; Will N. McGuire, of Duke
Power Company; and John J. Ryan,
of Southern Bell.
Leaders of the Foundation, speak
ing of the comparative places occu
pied by private and public educational
institutions, have said, “Whether the
large state university is preferable in
terms of per capita education, or
whether the smaller private colleges
are necessary to produce top-flight
contemporary men is hardly the ques
tion facing industry at this time when
support of the state institutions is re
quired by law. The choice is either
an adequate system of support to keep
private institutions of North Carolina
or the possibility of an educational
system without private colleges en
tirely dependent on state control.”
Thus far, industry has chosen to
maintain both systems by voluntary
support of the private colleges and
universities.

ADVOCATUS DIABOLI
By TOM PEARSE
Recently a discussion evolved con
cerning the last article in this paper.
It was stated by one of the illustrious
readers that the article was too gen
eral. Hence the writer will try to
be specific and attempt to point out
specific instances of incompetence on
the campus.
The student body recently had
an election. It was more closely re
lated to a comedy of errors. The
people who ran the election did not
know the difference between an Aus
tralian Ballot and a secret ballot.
This only points out what was said
in the last article concerning the ig
norance of our fellow student leaders.
Most of this does not rest on the
shoulders of the V.P. but is a direct
reflection on the President. Somehow
he is more concerned with the pub
licity of the school than any other
facet of the government. Most of
the students will remember his sterl
ing performance at the debate.
Why the faculty is above reproach.
At this point no other school would
touch the majority of them with a
ten-foot pole. They don’t have to.
Most of the professors who had
something to offer the school have
left or are in the process.
A specific reference. A well known
history professor left after thirteen
years of service. Why should a man
who has built up tenure and an es
tablished position leave? There was
a rumor that the petty regimentation
of the school had forced him to do
so. After talking with him for some
length a few months ago this rumor
became reality.
Then there was the head of the
Language Department who left. She
clearly indicated that it was impos
sible to do the job she had to with
Big Brother staring down her back.
I Of course she gave the excuse that
I she wanted to be with her family.
but after talking with her at grai
length she stated she did not reall)
want to leave. “I have found a horns
here and students whom I loved,
she said.
Then there was the head of tht
P.E. Department who left to go l»
Atlantic Christian; and the head ol
the English Department. Let’s nol
forget the head of the History Depsn
ment who stayed one year and W
because he could not take the pel'!
pressure of the job. Now what do«
Elon have left? Two or three PM'*-
a bunch of Med’s and Bvds. But
one must remember that Elon is >
fine Christian institution.
