We shall be glad to publish pertinent discussions of college topics. The Tar Heel will welcome news items, and hopes the whole college will aid it along this line. A Sin to be Stopped. . It ts unpleasant it? the extreme to write of some thing's family mat ters, so to speak, in our lite here for publication. When, however, it becomes a matter of general re port that a serious abuse exists, that an evil disease is more or less prevalent in our moral system, the time has come to speak out. That is the way by which reform must come. There is published in this issue an article which is commended t.n thp thoughtful consideration of the stu dents. There is more heinous of fence, known to the ethics of a col lege than cheating" on examination. It is said there a few instances of this kind on the December examina tions. We are reluctant to believe this, but we are forced to say that we do. It cannot, however, be be lieved that those who committed the breach were aware of its seri ousness. A public sentiment ought to be aroused which would make cheating on examination impossible. Think of the detestable nature of that act! A man is put upon his honor to be honesL No spies are set to watch him, as is the case at so many insti tutions. The man's owa word that he has been honest is accepted as proof positive of the fact. What then shall we say of- the offences which adds to cheating a flagrant breath of trust and deliberate per jury? Surely he who is persistent-; ly guilty of it should be shunned by "his fellow-students, shut out from their society. T here is no room here for such a man. The past we cannot recall; the; future we can provide against. The? past has seen a few men pass ex aminationsand receive diplomas tarnished by fraud. The future will hardly witness a single such case, if a college spirit is aroused aggressively intolerant of such practices. With the attention of the college emphatically directed to the abuse, we believe cheating on examination will cease entirely. After considering the question' carefully, we have thought it best thus to speak out franklybest for ' the iustijution and all concerned. There is np reflection upon the Uni vcrsity involved, for all institutions have the same problem. As we love the institution, we should all strive to root utterly this evil and remove. far from us this stigma cannot use foul means to pass on an examinations will be greatly wel comed. ; Student. It was with reluctance and great regret that the editors of the Tar Heel accepted the resignation o Mr. Wnitehead , Kluttz from the Editorship-in-Chief. During the past season he has. met with grati fyiug success in that proverbially difficult position. He has been un usually,, successful in the expression of th-4 feeling of the studeut body on the serious questions that have arisen for discussion and his style both of thinking and of writing has been such as to attract complimen tary notice not only from University students, but from the press away from the Hill. It it is verv far from easy to fill the place resigned by one so eminently suited for it as he.v A Serious Question. For The Tar Heel.) It has been remarked that cheat ing has been done on examinations during the last examination period. If so, sholl it be permitted to pass again without the student body tak ing some action to stop it? Shall it be said that a student can get through an examination by unfair means and the student body remain inactive? It has not been so in the past. Shall we institute it as a custom for the future? I feel sure we will say no ! Of course. it a very hard matter for one student to tell a class-mate, and at the same he has to consider whether he will be able to prove, as a certainty, the charge which he brings. We can all rea lize to a certain extent how we would feel under the circumstances, and hence all actions of this kind must be in a way slow, so as to be sure. It is very evident that the stu dents must be the means of stop ping such low, underhanded action This is to some extent difficult, ow ing to the fact that the student bodp has no organization in which to deal with such matters, and the faculty would find it next to impos sible to approach it. This does not mean that I would suggest such a thing as spies, but simply that where such is plainly detected we will not close our eyes to it and let it poss as unnoticed. For mysrlf, I have thought of the matter a good deal and the best way which occurs to me is that the students should come together and pass resolutions that they will not permit such a thing to occur, and that instead of cem uring a student who hao the manhood and courage to come out boldy against such un fairness, we shall give him our full support. I do not say that such men have been censured by us, but that we should assure them that such would not be the case. It is necessary that the students should stop this evil, which we have not been accustomed to shelter; if it is to be stopped they should act be fore the next examination period. Any plan, whatever it may be, J which will stamp this out, and will enable us to still say that a man Death of Jim Croswell. His many friends will be deeply grieved to hear ot the death or Mr J. J.
