Diogenes' Dilemma The problem which has been the subject of most urgent concern on the campus this ye_ar has been that of the almost decedant state of student mtelleciual and per- sonal honesty. Two articles appearing- in the Corcordiensis this week reflect on varied implications of the lack of stu- dent honesty at Union. Dr. Carl Niemeyer comments this week on cases of unde1·graduate cheating and plagiarism within the realm of the English Department, and the ac- count of the recent Student Council meeting refers to the problem of stealing in the bool{store, ·which is to be in- vestigated by the Council. These diverse examples of student dishonesty serve to point eut quite vividly the seriousness of the situation. Dissatisfaction with the level of student honesty has long existed amon()'st faculty members and honest students. However, until this year the concern manifested itself in latent grumblings; it has now finally erupted. An ideal solution to the problem of course exists. A student initiated, student administered Honor System has been proved successful in maJ?Y c~lleges \a~o~g them Dean Pollock's Alma .;\later, Umvers1ty of Vll'gm1a.) But as with most perfect solutions, it remains the most diffi- cult one to realize. Only a conscientious and determined effort on the part of every student can make a successful Honor System feasible.

This is only one degree more a:bsurd than the belief of many Labour supporters in the tl:>irtie~ and forties that the Cnn- sen•ative governments of pre-war days wevt> responsible for creat- ing depre.,sion and unemployment. It is n<wortheless a fact that has .to be reclto'1ed w.jth. There seems to be a natural tendency to em- 'brace the \post hoc, ergo propter hoc\ fallacy. Shift in !Seats Who helped to increase the Gov- ernment's majority? A study of the scats Which ·changed hands reveals some interesting faets.

Post-War Crisis The World .University Service f.irst began its work in 1920 when, in the midst of the rubble and ruin of Europe, European Stu- dent Relief (ElSR) was founded to meet the critical material needs of the university students after the first World War. Although the most important work of msR was completed by 1925, there re.,. mained a desire to maintain con- tact, exchange ideas and experi- ence, and to work to meet prob- lems and long-term needs of the university community. Thus, out of ESR emerged an independent international organization which, after a magnificent rehabilitation job in Europe and Asia following World War II, in 1950 became known as World University Serv- ice (Wl)SJ. Since then, the main emphasis has been increasingly turned toward solving basic prob- lems in Southeast Asia, the Far East and the Middle East, even though there are- many other Under the sponsocrship. ·Gf B!nai B'rith CHiHel Foundation, the N.a-. tiona:l.
