his office the registrar and the dean often receive requests as to the whereabouts of students who have not returned home for the recess period inasmuch as the need to contact the students is sometimes very urgent it is important that this information be available the information is also de sirable due to the fact that members of the faculty often want to invite some of these students to their homes over the holidays it will be appreciated if any student to whom this applies will leave his name his bethle hem address and information as to what days he will be in bethlehem at the dean's office dean congdon also suggests that students who leave bethle hem but do not return home keep their parents notified as to v/here they can be reached in case of an emergency thomas slated to

position frequently there are small firms who fill positions from a list of applicants and send no personnel men to universities in the best of times only a small percentage of business corporations send interviewers to lehigh arts college seniors were listed as the biggest disappointment to director morgan in the past month very few have come here to fill in their record cards he said i know that many of them expect to do graduate work but the univer sity likes to have a complete record of every graduate many of these men may change their plans later on and it will simplify matters if

present com missioner announces his intention to retire when approached by washington correspondents mr sayre said he knew nothing about the proposal and refrained from further comment president c c williams who announced who the commence ment speaker would be at a faculty meeting on nov 7 stated that he hoped that if mr sayre receives the presidential appointment he will not have to leave before

washington recently that mr sayre who is the son-in-law of the late president woodrow wilson is a logical choice for the position because he has been an expert on trade matters and parti cularly the

seeking to work out permanent relationship with the islands mr sayre whose father robert h sayre was a member of the first board of trustees of the uni versity and donor of sayre obser vatory has held

penalized dean wray h congdon today cautioned students against dis honest practices in examinations after the disciplinary committee had taken action recently against a mechanical engineering student charged with copying from a near by student's paper in an hour quiz in mathematics the committee unanimously voted to drop the student from the course without credit and put him on permanent disciplinary proba tion for the balance of his college career the action came after a comparison of quiz papers sub stantiated the charges and the student admitted his dishonesty franc h burnett president of arcadia student member of the committee on discipline present ed the point of view that most students were unaware of the ser iousness of dishonest practices in academic exercises and of the pen alties to which a student is liable for such misdemeanors committee is lenient according to the charter and regulations of lehigh university the penalties for clearly premedi tated hishonesty in a final exam ination will be a recommendation for expulsion from the univer sity for dishonesty in an hour quiz or other exercise of similar value suspension for one semester for dishonesty in a daily class exer cise dismissal from the course with loss of credit the committee on discipline because of extenuating circum stances unanimously voted the more lenient alternative mentioned above to apply to this student dean congdon quoted several paragraphs from the university regulations as a friendly caution to students who are not normally deterred from dishonest practices by their own strength of will and knowledge of what constitutes ethical practices he said that al though these regulations are pub lished in the freshman handbook he felt that they should again be brought to the attention of all stu dents as a reminder dean quotes from charter the dean in quoting from the charter and regulations said if any student at any university exercise shall be found using or attempting to use any book paper or other article or the assistance of a fellow student or any other unfair or unlawful means for the purpose of deceiving the person in charge of the exercise with ref erence to his work he will be deemed guilty of a serious breach of discipline and will be punished therefore he who willfully gives assistance will be considered as guilty as he who receives it no books paper or other ar ticles shall be brought into or used at any university exercise unless specifically authorized by the per son in charge and all such books papers or other articles are sub ject to inspection nor shall any other use be made of such books or papers than that authorized the possession at any univer sity exercise of any article the use of which is prohibited by the foregoing rule will be regarded as prima facie evidence of guilt and may subject the offender to the same penalties as are prescrib ed for the actual violation of the rule o transfer students to get test results
