Note This is a second in a series of historical features by Miss Tripp.) By GLADYS BEST TRIPP Cheating was once a trial of wit at the University between the class and the professor, and it was considered good fun to win. If cheating was used only to pass an examination and not for honor grades, the student body deemed it proper until 1868. This feel ing was partly based on the fact that President Swain wanted a large grad uating class, and held that a diploma was no evidence of scholarship. One of the favorite devices used by the students to baffle the professor was called "working the telegraph." The class rooms were all on the second floors of buildings. The students would cut a hole in the floor under one of the benches. During the test or ex amination questions would be lowered by a string and the answers worked out by several good scholars on the (Continued on last page) Bear d Urg Of Wilson Protests Pharmacy Bill :..y.

Pharmacy Dean Says Bill Is Big Menace To Public Health By LOUIS HARRIS r Branding the Wilson bill, introduced in the Legislature on March 2, as "a serious menace to public health," Dean J. G. Beard yesterday morning urged all students in the School of Pharmacy to participate in the drive to defeat this type of legislation. The bill, House bni 565, would permit assistant pharmacists to secure full licenses as registered pharmacists without having to stand the examina tions of the state board of pharmacy, provided they had obtained five years of practical experience in a drug store beforehand ed. Dean Beard stressed, "by this scheme an obviously ill-prepared class of clerks would enjoy the same privi leges and assume the same obligations to the public as graduates of a four year standard course in pharmacy. That this type of discriminating legis lation would be unfair to students who work hard and often as a sacrifice to become competent pharmacists is sec ondary to the danger that the un suspecting public would face in being unable to distinguish from the license displayed whether the holder was fitted or unfitted for duties that involve the health and lives of all purchases of potentially dangerous drugs." INFORM PARENTS In view of these facts, Dean Beard urged his students to write their peo ple at home immediately in order that the legislators might be personally in terviewed during their week-end visits with the hope of obtaining their con sent to vote against such a measure. Students were also asked to employ their individual endeavors in any other possible way toward lobbying against the bin. - " ' ' In citing instances of such action in the past, and the effect it had had, the speaker stated, "another bill, House bill 311, would permit an extension of (Continued on last page) COUCH ANNOUNCES LIST OF 27 BOOKS Volumes Feature Southern Themes The University press has just re leased its Spring list of 27 books which either have appeared or will ap pear during the months of March, April, May and June.
