Plans for the Student I nion building, a library, a gymnasium, and a building for the College of Music are now being drawn up and w ill be completed by thc first of the year, according to word from the office of Harold Stonier, Executive Secretary of S. C.
A plan for financing the Student ♦ ■ Union project was brought before tbe studen’s last year and was approved by so small a majority that those in charge deemed It unwise to attempt the plan as then outlined. A new plan ls being sought and, according to Mike Elwood. Student Union chairman, matters are so favorable that a Student Union is entirely possible this year.

Ford Opposes Honor Systen
Dental Dean Believes in Strong Proctorial System, and Control by Administration.
To have honor or not to.
And if so, what is honor?
The above are typical of the questions that are running through the mind of Dean Lewis E. Ford of the College of Dentistry. He was interviewed yesterday by a committee

Seniors Offer Mystery Play
Intricate Cabinet for “In the Next Room” is Conducted by Students.
Tickets for the senior play, “In the Next Room,” to be presented Tuesday evening, December 14, are going quickly, and a complete sellout is expected, according to John Atwill, manager of student productions.
Many as'ounding features, hitherto unknown in the realm of mystery plays, have been planned to startle the audience, states Atwill. A complete absence of all those propertied that usually accompany a presentation of this kind will be the keynote of the
criticism of youth.
The survey on youth was conducted among young people of this community and the report, together with Dr. Knopfs comments, are expected to be particularly interesting to Southern dred thousand dollars, but those in California students, charge have figured out that, by skill- j The evening address, by Dr. Baxter, ful management, the building will sup- j will concern the relationship between port itself by rents.

Dental.
Dr. Ford does not believe that the system will work at the College of Dentistry.
“You may have a different problem on your campus,” he told the committee, “but you can’t sell that idea here. The only kind of an honor system that works is a jail and a jug and a police force. I believe in a strong proctorial system and 1 think ) that what is the trouble on your ; campus is that your own proctorial ' system has fallen down.”
He was asked if he would guarantee the other colleges that wished to try the system a chance by not having Dental vote on the proposed system.
“I am not saying what I will do until your cards are on the table,” was his reply. I am not committing myself on • your constitution until I have seen the rest of it printed in the Trojan.”
Dean Ford asked Mr. Oudermeulen why he came to college.

an honor spirit there, and because their examinations are partly oral.
2.	It will not work at Liberal Arts because it is contrary to human nature and puts too much strain on the average human. (The dean turned at one point in his conversation to ask a couple of Dental students whether or not they would cheat if they had either to do it to answer a question or come back to school for another year.)
3.	Liberal Arts students have not a serious purpose and give entirely too much attention to student government, activities and the rest.
‘ o o o On the first question we can have little or nothing to say. If Dental has a spirit pervading the class rooms and lecture halls that will make men do their own work, more power to Dental, we say. If their work is such that they must take my I do it or fail, they are to be con-

PRE-MED. SOCIETY TO HAVE MEETING
Dr. Fred. Lindenburger Secured To Address Club Monday Evening. Many College Departments Invited.
Extending an invitation to the departments of Biology, Physics, and Chemistry, the Pde-M^dical Society announces that it has been fortunate enough to secure Dr. Fred Linden-burger, a noted X-ray authority, to address the club Monday night, December 13, at 7:30, in room 306 of the Chemistry Building.
Dr. lindenburger has carried on extensive work in Germany and the United States, and is well equipped to give an address of interest to science students. The topic of his speech will be “The Application of X-rays to Medicine.”
The speaker is a graduate of the University of Berlin, has studied in Vienna, and was for five years on the staff of the University of Berlin Hospital. He has now a large, modern, perfectly equipped X-ray laboratory in this city.
The cabinet, supposedly an importation from Paris, around which the plot of the play hinges, is being constructed by two students, Ray Pinker and George Northman. These two men have been members of the Community Players for three years, and are well-versed In the knowledge of theatrical properties. The construction of this cabinet is especially intricate, according to Atwill, and should be watched carefully as the plot unfolds.
“We are not counting upon mysterious gunshots, or weird lighting effects to produce the thrills necessary for the success of a production of this kind,” said Atwill.
We are depending rather u:>on original method of presentation that has never before been witnessed upon a campus stage.”

Morley Drury. Southern California's most versatile backfield star, was unanimously elected captain of the 1927 gridiron squad at the annual football banquet held at the Los Angeles Athletic Club last night.
The big halfback was out of the game for the major part of the season due to two trick knees, the injury occurring on the eve of the California contest. Howard Jones refused to allow him to participate in any of the following tilts, until his knees were sufficiently healed... Notre Dame offered Drury his first opportunity of playing in one of the season’s big games, and “Dink." at the risk of permanent injuries, grabbed the chance and proved to be one of the big stars of the day.

QUILL CLUB VOTES IN NINE MEMBERS
Nine candidates for membership to Quill Club, national collegiate writers’ association, were accepted last night at the regular meeting, upon recommendation of the Manuscript Committee.
Those so honored were Muriel Heeb, Bernice Palmer, Mynette Rich, Maynard Taylor, Howard Bull, Antoinette Larson, Louise van de Verg, Homer Gene, and Francis Hall.
These people were chosen from a considerable number who tried out for membership. The committee, composed of Milton Booth, Marjorie
gratulated. It may be that Dental does not need the honor system.
In that case, we are right with the executive committee in not having Dental vote on this. After all, he is in power there and if he says it will not work and will not try it there is no sense in trying to have the students vote on something which the man in charge will not let them try.
o o o
But we can agree only in part with his other points. There is a long chance that he is right when he says we waste a lot of time here. Every professional school man we have ever met tells us that we don’t work really hard until we get into the professional schools. Certainly there are a lot of boys and girls here who came to keep from getting out the world for four years more and because they want to be a “fraternity man” or a “sorority woman.’* Thus far we will walk with Dean Ford.

But we cannot agree that the best honor system is a “jail and a jug/’ and a police force. We cannot believe that the proctorial and system is the best way to turn may out men and women of honor and integrity. It may be so with a professional school. There the students have come to master certain facts without which they cannot expect to earn their bread and butter in their chosen professions. But we believe there is coming a time when we will have to make good on our own without having someone to stand over us and tell us when to “throw our papers into the waste basket.’’ In
Big Upper Class Affair Will Be Held At Elks’ Club Tomorrow; Corsages Banned.
“Tomorrow night is the night”—especially in the minds of the members of the junior class who are giving their prom Saturday evening at the Elks* Temple.
As far as entertainment is concerned, an excellent group of actors has been secured from the Metropolitan Theatre, and together with unsurpassed favors and decorations upholding the distinctiveness and the formality of the prom, the dance is expected to be an unparalleled success.
According to members of the junior class executive committee, everything is in readiness for the traditional event. It is now up to the co-operation of the junior class to make the 1926 prom a real success.
Upon interviewing many prominent campus students, it was deemed advisable by the committee in charge to ban corsages for the dance. It is the consensus of opinion that corsages are impractical for any university affair.
Tickets are ou sale at a table in front of the Administration Building at the Students’ Store. They also be obtained from Bus Blanchard and Hank Rohr.
Physical Education Group Hold Luncheon At Twin Cedars Today
That the luncheon of all the members of the Physical Education Association of the University is to take place at noon today, instead of Monday, at the Twin Cedars Inn was announced yesterday by Don Bailey, president of the organization.
Dr. Sven Lokrantz, who is connected with the department of physical education of the city schools, will give an illustrated talk on the health and corrective programs of the city schools. Dr. Lokrantz is an authority on physical education.
Being the first banquet of the association this semester, the occasion will be a departure from the previous forms of meeting.
While riding on the running board of a Ford roadster driven by H. G. Hess. Eearhart’s hat was blown off and it is thought that in trying to recover it he slipped, causing him to fall to the pavement.
He was unconscious when picked up, and was sent to the Receiving Hospital for treatment. He received bruises about the face, and an injury to his head that required stitches in caring for it. However, he recovered sufficiently to attend later morning classes.
The incident brought the announcement from the captain of the University Police station to the effect that conditions making possible accidents of this kind will be changed in.me-diately
