The magazine placed the blame on students, parents and teachers alike, but placed special emphasis on adults who cut ethical corners, thereby setting a bad example for their children. We’ll have to agree with McCall’s about the blame for cheating—who else is left? But any person who is in college should be some sort of an adult already. An adult should realize that getting high marks is not the entire story in education. For the greatest part of our education—if we really are to be educated—is to come after our graduation from college. Life itself, while usually consolidating our views and drawing persons toward a conservative outlook, is a general- izer of our education. It broadens our knowledge, unless we submit entirely to one specialized field, and thus tends to make all education more or less a liberal education. And as the well-known educator Dr. Robert M. Hutchins has said, “Liberal education ought to end only with life it self.” All of this is not irrelevant to the problem of cheating. For our college training, although not nearly the whole of our education, sets the framework upon which we will build our future. If we cheat to get high marks for our foundation train ing, we more than likely will cheat during the whole span of our life. Dr. Hutchins has saicG “Childhood and youth are no time to get an education. They are the time to get ready to get an education.” Maybe you don’t think it is wrong to cheat; maybe you can excuse it by saying “everyone else does it, why not I.” This is a matter of a personal philosophy and ethical code. But can you afford to cheat your way ,to get ready for an education—and still expect not to cheat during the years when you are doing your real learning—the rest of your life. —BOF WEDNESDAY Robert TAYLOR Stewart GRANGER Lloyd NOLAN • Debra PAGET *rT«O-0Ol0WYM.MAYE« flCTUKE Eastman COLOR Wt/ BOY SCOUTS OF AMER |CA CIRCLE WEDNESDAY “Revenge of The Creature” John Agar — ALSO — “The Egg And 1” Claudette Colbert WEDNESDAY COLUMBIA PICTURES presents A WARWICK PRODUCTION # costarrmg MA!
