State University students to the

vote of more than 2 to l, adopted a

Ill moral affairs of the students are

Committee of 10 student members

If the student, male or female, is
detected in dishonesty of any sort,
cheating in examinations or anv
other act not morally clean, the Of
fender will be tried secretly by this
committee of 10. The finding, II un-
favorable, will be kept secret, but
the offender will be notified by let
ter to leave the university within a
week. II the student does not leave
public expulsion is the penalty.
An appeal can be made to the
higher body of students as a last re-
sort if the grounds are considered
sufficient. In short, the plan is for
the students to be in charge of the
entire government of the university
In SO far as the moral attitude is
concerned. The action was taken
