-----------------------10 A STEP FORWARD

An extension of the mini-mum probationary period for first cheating offense and a recommendation to the Stu-dent Legislature concerning the punishment for cheating were two measures passed by the Student Council at the regular meeting Wednesday, December 7.

The motions proposed and passed are:

Campus Opines 865 to 838 That System Does

Not Work

Wake Forest students will get their first taste of college-pre-sented opera on January 12 when a recently formed organi-zation, the Wake Forest Opera Workshop, will present "The Bartered Bride" in the college chapel. The Little Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Bill Parham, will accompany the opera.

Stale of Wak0 Wins Moot Case The 65 piece Wake Forest Band, pictured above, presented its annual concert Wednesday night in the College Chapel. Under the direction of Professor Thane McDonald, the band rendered a

varied program that included Christmas carols, marches, .and popular tunes. Following the concert the band was enterta10ed w_ith a party at the Community House.

That the Student Council go on record as reconunend-ing to the Student Legislature that the Legislature• amend the Constitution so that con-viction of first offense of vio-lating the Honor System will be punished by expulsion from school.

The results of a poll taken re-cently in chapel indicate wide-spread dissatisfaction with the honor system as it is now on the campus. Of the 1,703 students who answered questionnaires, 865 gave a negative answer to the question, "Do you think the honor system works on the Wake Forest campus?" while 838 an-swered in the affirmative.

The three questions asked were: (1) Do you think that a state (or condition) of honor exists on this campus? (2) Do you think that the honor system works on the Wake Forest cam-pus? ( 3) Why do people break the honor system?

The local group will be as-sisted by the Raleigh Civic Opera Association who will present the third act of ·~Tales From Heff-mann" following the presenta-tion of "The Bartered Bride."

Dr. Clifford Bair organized the Opera Workshop and will direct the production. · The group is composed of approximately 15 students. Dr. Bair announced that both operas will be sung in English and that the Raleigh group will be accompanied in "Tales of Hoffmann" by twin pianos.

The Supreme Court of Wake decided a question of evidence in favor of the State in the moot case of Collins vs. · State held on Wednesday evening, No-vember 7.

Deacons Manifest Yule Spirit With Varied Festive Programs

That until such time as the Student Legislature takes ac-tion, the minimum probation-ary period for first offense of violating the Honor System will be the rest of the time the offender is in school. The questions were answered

in various ways. Many people placed "no" after the first ques-tion and in turn said the honor system works. Most of the peo-ple who said it works gave reasons for breaking it. Some, however, merely said they didn't know.

Comic Opera "The Bartered Bride," a comic

opera, was written by Bedrich Smetana. The work is composed of three acts. The opera contains several arias which are well known in the musical world.

The group, which plans to pro-duce a musical comedy at a later date this spring, was organized during the first of the fall semes-ter. The aim of the .;workshop 'is to learn production, opera technique, through the presenta-tlc•~ of operas to the students of Wake Forest.

Although the new organization has received no previous pub-licity, it has been active in pre-paring for the production of "The Bartered Bride." The big-gest job toward the production

Brandis Speaks · On World Unity

Dean Henry Brandis of the University of North Carolina ad-dressed the Wake Forest Student Bar Association last Monday night on the subject o.f world federation.

Dean Brandis, an avowed fa-natic on the subject, is a mem-.ber of the executive council of the United World Federalists.

The keynote of the speech was the proposition that you can't have peace without law, and you can't have law without gov-ernment. He pointed out that any such law, whether of a' world or a nation, must meet the idea of justice with regard to the great-est number of people to be gov-erned.

The case was notable in that Prof. Dale F. Stansbury of the Duke Law School served as chief justice. Professor Stansbury, a former dean of the Wake Forest Law School, is an eminent au-thority on the law of evidence in North Carolina.

The visiting associate justice was I. 0. Brady, practicing at-

made manifest on the Wake For-est campus this week as the pre-Christmas season was literally crammed with festive activities, including musical programs, plays, carol-singing, parties, dec-orations and charity offerings.

Many people said students break the honor systenn because they feel the Student Council will not or cannot do anything about it if they are caught. Very few attempted to be "cute" and give smart answers. Some were vague, but most people seriously attempted to give definite rea-sons.

To Take Action On the basis of these question-

naires the Honor Council plans to take some definite action to bring about a greater under-standing of the honor system and to increase the degree of its success. Many of the answers given on the questionnaires in-dicate that s.tudents must realize the necessity of reporting cheat-ing when they see it before any-thing can be done to improve the situation.

It was interesting to note that most of the law students indi-cated that they had seen no in-fraction of the honor system in law school, but many had seen it in undergraduate school. No definite reason was given for this.

Some of the more frank and pertinent answers given to the third question are :

"It is not brought to our at-tention enough--it hasn't b'een instilled in us before and the college is doing nothing about it now."

"Because it is an easy way in which to obtain good grades."

"Because they fail to study for the tests and realize that nine out of ten times no one will turn them in. There is one class on the campus where 75 per cent of the students admit they might 'flunk' or get low grades if they didn't cheat. This is the student's fault."

"Because they know they will not be convicted."

"Because it is almost impossi-ble for some students to make the grades they want without breaking the honor system."

It was further pointed out that law and order cannot be accom-plished by co-operation alone. There must be. law enforcing agencies. It is the opinion of Dean Brandis, and World Fed-eralists generally, that federal government on a world basis can supply the necessary agen-cies for keeping peace in the world.

Businessmen Talk With Lo~al Frat

Howard Johnson, vice-presi-dent of the Atlantic Steel Com-pany of Atlanta, Ga., spoke to the members of Beta Tau, hon-orary business fraternity, on No-vember 30. Johnson is a mem-ber of the Grand Council of Delta Sigma Pi international business fraternity. He spoke to the group on matters concerning the ad-mission of members into Delta Sigma Pi and matters concern-ing current labor problems.

The World Federalists do not purport, he said, to begin im-mediately by giv,ing a world government unlimited powers. Such a government would neces-sarily have to be restricted at first to limited powers.

System of Representation The first major problem to be

faced in the organization of a world government would be the working out of a system of rep-resentation. That problem, Dean Brandis said, would have to be worked out by way of compro-mise. And no matter what com-

X-Ray Unit To Be Here In January

A mobile X-ray unit will be on the campus January 4 and 5. The college physician, Dr. George Mackie, requires that all fresh-men, sophomores and students who have not been at Wake Forest College for more than two years have a chest X-ray made.

The mobile unit is being spon-sored by Alpha Epsilon Delta, the honorary pre-medical fra-ternity.

"Afraid they will break up a friendship or cause hard feelings by reporting one because 'no one else does it.' "

"Because they have every op-portunity to do otherwise. The students themselves do not want to . turn in another student. They feel it is not their duty."

LET'S GET ROUGH Let's face it. The Honor System isn't work-

ing at Wake Forest College. Any doubt that

for the students of Wake Forest. These are the little things which are set against the great panorama of the birth of Christ. The coming of the Son of God is the thing that makes Christmas a wondrous time. This mortal man who came to the earth to bring His great message of love and faith has inspired this period of the year with a subl~meness that the passage of years has only increased. ·

The singing of the great "Messiah" last Sunday night was a tribute to the great power of this period of the year which could inspire such a work. The spirit of the season seems to seize all. The greetings become warmer and the handclasps stronger with the approaching day of gladness. , Whatever the lasting influence which Christmas 1949 , will have, it will at least · bring for a few days a world more nearly patterned on that which the Prince of Peace sought to give.

TOWER BELLS

By MARY FINBERG

The time - Christmas. The Place-the great cathedral. The occasion-the celebration of the birth of the Lord. Glorious "Hal-lelujahs" are being sung by the choir, while the mighty organ peals-out news of the coming of the Saviour. Down the street; by an outdoor Christmas tree, stand a group of boys and girls. Their heads and voices are lifted up-ward in prayer and praise as they . sing ~he beloved Christmas carols that remind all that ·the yuletide is in season. Still fur-ther on, a radio is heard bear-ing the bright lyrics of a popular Christmas song. These are typi-cal scenes .of the joy that en-. velopes the earth when Decem-ber 25 comes each year.

Can this be truly a Christmas\ celebration without the carols/ the Hallelujahs, and the other' songs that are so symbolic of the time? The scene is almost empty and meaningless. There is no caroling-no music. There are no bright lyrics of popular Christmas songs dancing on the air waves-no music. Christmas is not Christmas without the anthems, the sweet hymns. Mu-sic is the integral. part of the joyous season. A great story is told each year during the last of December, a story that is re-peated and never becomes droll nor ordinary.

Daughtery. On Friday night, the Religious Service Group toured the. town - singing ·Christmas carols and distributing baskets to families in need.

The 10 social fraternities on the campus, due to the failure to secure a building for the regular interfraternity Christmas dance, filled the latter part of last week with separate dances, parties and banquets.

The Kappa Alpha social fra-ternity gave their annual chil-dren's Christmas party on last Wednesday afternoon for 16 of Wake Forest's first graders. Held in the KA chapter room, the par-ty was complete with Santa Claus, Christmas tree, gifts and chil-dren's games directed by Lynn HolComb, Wake Forest sociology student. The 10 boys and six girls were from homes where there will probably not be an over-abundance of material Christmas cheer.

An appropriate setting for the general yuletide spirit was pro-vided by a brightly decorated downtown district, Christmas trees in some of the rooms in dormitories and decorated en-trances to several of the fra-ternity houses.

student body 19.5 to one, for then there were exactly 100 stu-dents here, with a faculty of six. Discipline was rigid and students were required to study in their rooms every night for a definite period of time. The curriculum included language, math, natural science and belles lettres. Even then, Wake Foresters were sub-jected to .. the wholesome tra-dition of hard work."

At Christmas, however, it was a different matter. The towns-

CANDY CARDS

people, feeling sorry for the boys, threw open their homes to them, and it was time for gala festivi-ties. Off went the short jackets, "trap-door" pants, and blouses of class days; on went the black coats, white vests, boiled shirts and gaudy ties. Part of all this fancy dressing was probably due to the "young ladies of the Hill," daughters of faculty members and townspeople from their va-rious "female academies." Old Wake Forest was decorated with holly and cedar wreaths, candles ·and mistletoe in 1872; there was · none of the bright electric lights, tinsel and angel's hair of today in evidence, but there was plenty of Christmas spirit.

On Christmas Day, there was a chapel service with pageant and tableaux given by the Sun-day school and a cantata by the choir. There was a Christmas tree and presents were distribut-ed to all the children in the village.

Usually, after the program, the students met in one of the lec-ture rooms or in a home for a Christmas "sociable" where games were played and confec-tionaries enjoyed.

Doubtless, because· there were young ladies present, games were very genteel-chardes, drop the handkerchief, bean bags, "Mary had a little lamb," and . the "Scotch ramble,'' which was soon stopped because it resembled dancing too much.

Christmas Night a "tacky par-ty" was held. Under masks and in costumes, boys burlesqued their professors and let off some of the steam that had been ac-cumulating all year. Afterwards, the masqueraders paraded their town and serenaded the various homes with Christmas carols ..

By the 27th, it was all over, and Wake Forest went back to. · the old routine.

Mason May Be. Dea.cs Needed Scoring_ Punch By Barry Williams _

The only new addition to Coach Murray Greason's cage club this season, other than . members of last year's freshman team, is a six foot one inch transfer stu-dent from Campbell Junior Col-lege: Billy Mason of Wilmington North Carolina. · ·

Coach Greason has stated in several interviews this season that his present ball club has plenty of speed_ and fight but they don't have that nece5sary scoring

, punch to be a conSistent winner. In Mason, he may have found at least part of that necessary punch. Billy was known at Campbell; and throughout ·the Junior College League, as a natural point-getter. However,

in early Wake Forest. games, he has been unable ·to hit. with the consistency that made him ·a marked man w}lile at Campbell.

Wilmington Boy Mason is a product of New

Hanover High School in Wil-mington. While he was a stu-dent there, he not only was an outstanding forward on the basketball team but was a bril-liant pass receiver at his end po-sition on the powerful football team.

After completing his Junior year at New Hanover High, Bill joined the Merchant Marine and served .for nineteen months. Dur-ing his stay in the service, he sailed from 'Europe to Asia, see-ing many wonderful sights be-

or .I'm· li~ble to swap the whole lot of you for one of them new-fangle mule trains!"

· At these words the reindeer, fearful of their fate, leaped into

. place, and Santa Claus (for that was the old guy's name) jumped in the sleigh, cracked his whip, and the whole crew bound off through the night like a herd of turtles.

The night was clear and bright, and the team was hitting it off at a pretty fair pace, when sud-denly the sleigh found itself in the midst of a cold, foggy mist, and a slight drizzle began to fall.

"Gosh dern it!" muttered San-ta Claus as he bit down hard on his pipe to keep from ex-pressing himself more expres-sively.

"This couldn't be any place but Wake Forest. Out of ump-teen million places in the world to go, you confound reindeer had to bring me here!"

And with an evil glint in his otherwise t}Vinkling eye, he

.. shouted, "Bread and water for a week, you critters!" · Suddenly the red-clad· figure halted in his threat, as he saw beneath him the campus, lighted in all the semblance of Christ-mas.·-

Rain?? In Wake Forest? . "Well, what d'you know," he

said to himself. "Looks like these folks have been doing something besides praying for rain."

Saint Nick put the sleigh into a nose- dive and straightened· it up just as he cleared a liuge magnolia tree. At this height he could really get a good view.

The lights of Simmons were glaring forth in all their yule-tide glory as the sleigh . paused for a moment on the roof. Doors bedecked with holly and Christ-mas trees peeping through the windows, assured the old man that the season's reveling was well under way. Some of the W'.:!ekend guests were still about, and as the laughing ·and singing drifted up from below, Santa chuckled and· whispered to his reindeer, "Seems we're not the

for the New Dorm where an-other festivity was taking place. Tears of rage running down his cheeks, Santa untied the big, red bow that bound the front door and quietly slipped in. Stealthily he made his way through the reveling crowd, and approached the punch bowl. Certain that the merry makers were unaware of his presence, he seized a cup of punch and vainly sought ~o drown his sorrows.

. "Just wait 'til I tell my union about this," he muttered. "And to think, I've paid my dues 10 years in advance."

After consuming a few more cups of punch, our sad friend somehow found the door, and got into his sleigh.

"If I didn't kno;w I was in my right mind," he muttered, "I'd swear there was a Christmas tree hanging from the ceiling of the Howler office!"

"Oh Well," he mused, "it must have been that punch." And he was gone into the night. ·

It was after Mason was dis-. · charged that he achieved his

The Focus Week of previous years is being replaced by a preaching mission, Eli Galloway told us. The event is scheduled for February 12-17; and Dr. R. C. Greshman, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Moultrie, Ga., will be the speaker. Dr. Gresh-man will preach at both of the Sunday services, the three chapel periods, and each night. We are telling you about this a long time ahead, so we want you to plan now to attend some of the services.

Dr. Greshman is very inter-ested in all phases of college life and has had a great deal of ex-perience with college students in the South. A native of Char-lotte, he has been pastor of the Moultrie church since 1927. He attended Mercer University, the University of Kentucky, the Uni-versity of Georgia and the South-ern Baptist Theological Semi-nary. He has served in the army and has been a missionary to Cuba, pastor of a college church in Missouri, member of the For-eign Mission Board, and Ameri-can Legion Baseball Commis-sioner of Georgia.

Dr. Greshman will be avail-able for informal discussions and private conferences; so if you have anything that you would like to discuss with him, don't hesitate to do so.

Tomorrow all of us will be on our way home for the holidays, so we want to take this' oppor-tunity to wish each of you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

of the opera is in the continuity. The arias and chorus scenes have been thoroughly rehearsed and practice is now under way on the second :floor of the Music-Religion Building.

Green, Ward in Leads Charles Green, a junior from

Monroe, and Mary Ward, a senior from Bessemer City, will have the leading roles. Both had lead-ing roles in "The Only Girl," an operetta produced here last spring.

The work portrays the love of Marie (Mary Ward) and Jenik (Charles Green). The parents of the couple, being practically be-witched by the craft of Kezal (Prof. Robert Helm), a marriage broker, try to barter Marie to a stuttering young fool, Vashek (Dr. Bair).

The opera is concemed with how Marie finally wins the love of Janik.

Those in the Wake Forest Opera Workshop who are di-rectly involved in the production of the work are James L. Mose-ley, Roger Cole, Jack Bowers, Judson Mitchell, Anita Elkins, Betty Hawks, Jean Johnson and Mary Charlie Patterson.

He said that history has prov-en that the old idea that c'.:ter-national co-operation can keep the peace is the real idealistic view today, and that the idea of a world federal government is the true practicable outlook.
