Rumor Says This
Applies at A&M
An article in the April edition of McCall’s magazine as
serts that cheaters outnumber non-cheaters today in most
United States colleges and high schools.
“Cheating is a national problem, not confined to any one
area of the country, any one type of neighborhood, anyone
type of school,” the article reports.
“Honor systems—used in ten per cent of the nation’s
colleges and less than one per cent of its high schools—are
not proof against it,” the magazine explains, “as witness
the fact that 93 cadets, the cream of the football squad, were
caught cheating at West Point a few years ago, and 109
students were caught at the University of Florida.
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.

THERE'S A SHINING EXAMPLE of smok*
ing enjoyment in the Droodle at left;
Lucky-smoking couple on moonlight
drive. Lucky smokers always enjoy bet
ter taste, because Lucky Strike means
fine tobacco—mild, good-tasting to
bacco that’s TOASTED to taste better.
So get on the beam—light up a Lucky
yourself. You’ll say it’s the best-tasting
cigarette you ever smoked!
