held spec. IS. - =
In commenting recently on the
game, John Temple Graves,
П,
Bir¬
mingham's civic-minded columnist
«I
The Birmingham Age-Herald, writes:
“Neither is It to be doubted that Bir¬
mingham's two great educational in¬
stitutions are always glad to do what¬
ever they can for the community in
which they shine like the morning and
evening stars.''
Officials of Howard, including Pres¬
ident Neal, Dean Burns, Coach Mc-
Lane and Registrar Causey, when
asked about the rumor that the game
would be played, said that they were
willing to do their part in helping the
Community Chest reach the goal for
which those in charge ar j striving so
hard to reach. \
Coach Me Lane said that he would
be willing to do his part and felt that
every member of hirtesm would wlso
be willing.
Members of the administration of
both colleges, according to ail reports,
seem to be in favor of the second

The parade of beauty which was
sponsored by the Entre Nous in search
of beauties tor the year book was held
Tuesday night at Mamie MelF Smith
Hall, and five sealed envelopes con¬
taining the first ten choices of the
judges have been placed in the col¬
lege vault. -
When the annual ie to be made up
in the Spring these sealed envelopes
will be sent by Prof. Lohr to the en¬
graver and no one will know who the
beauties are until the year book is re¬
turned from the press, according to
Bess McComas, editor.
The receiving line was composed of
Dr. and Mrs. Brakefield, Prof, and
Mrs. Causey and Prof, and Mrs. de
Launay. Master of ceremonies was
Amasa B. Windham.
Judges were: James Saxon Chil¬
ders, author, lecturer, novelist, teacher
and traveler; Ernest M. HendersoD.
Jr., artist, painter,* instructor and
etcher ; Carrie M. Hill, portrait painter,
landscape artist and designer; John

The Howard Crimson has been
asked to cooperate In a campaign
against cheating at Howard which
will be led by an organisation to be
known as the "Secret Six.”
The editor of The Crimson has
studied every detail of the plans as
presented by the organization and an¬
nounces that the paper shall cooper¬
ate in every way possible to. rid the
campus of cheating.
Each week the number of students
seen cheating by the “Secret Six” will
be published in The Crimson, along
with the class and method used. The
following week a report from the ad¬
ministration will be published, giving
the names of students who either ad¬
mitted or denied the charge of the
“Secret Six”, and what the adminis¬
tration plans to do in each case.
The Howard Crimson takes this op¬
portunity of warning all 3tudenta who
have been in the habit of cheating, or
who have any intention of cheating
that it they do they can be sure of
the fact that their names will be pub¬
lished, If they are turned in by the
"Secret Six.”
- The -edUor- of The Howard Crimson
states publicly that he knows every
member of the “Secret Six” and has
enough confidence in each of them to
accept any statement from them as fi¬
nal and will publish their report re¬
gardless of whose name appears.
Howard students voted the honor
system out two years ago because it
would not work. Since that time
cheating has not been curbed to a
great extent, and according to the
expressed opinion of a number of stu¬
dents and members of the faculty,
any method- of curbing it will be wel¬
comed.
If this method for any reason fails
to 'receive the support necessary to
put it across The Crimson will take
the responsibility of more drastic
steps In the printing of names of those
who make a practice oJ cheating.

worked hard to frame a constitution
that wit; serve Howard students effi¬
ciently. Each article will be token up

This is i very slow process and will
prove v.-ry tiresome to some students.

It there are any real objections they
will be welcomed by the committee

Names of All Students Who
Are Seen Cheating .Will
_ r Be Reported
“A- secret organization composed of
six high-minded students, to be known
as the “Secret Six”, has been organ¬
ized on Howard’s campus and shall,
with the cooperation of the Student-
Body, the administration and The
Howard Crimson, put a stop to all
forms of cheating, " says a letter
placed In the Crimson Box.
The letter gives full details of plans
of the organization, along with names
of students comprising the "Secret
Six", and asks that The Howard Crim¬
son cooperate in' helping the faculty
and students rid the campus of an
enemy which may be found lurking on
every campus.
“Howard's Student Body abolished
the so-called honor system some years
ago, because it had come to be a
farce,” said the “.Secret Six” letter.
“We are attempting to form a nucleus
that shall bring to all students a
knowledge of the amount of cheating
that is Being done and to give those
who are cheating an opportunity tq
break themselves of on* of the worst
of all habits."
The organization Is composed of stu¬
dents representing the freshman,
lomore, junior and senior classes,
and is represented in practically all
types of work done at Howard.
Any form of cheating seen by a
member of the 'Secret Six', with the
name of the student cheating, the
class and hour, and how it was done,
will be placed In the hands of the
Dean of the college each week, and a
carbon copy of this report will be
given to The Howard Crimson tp use
as its editor so deelree," the letter
stated.
"The unpopularity of this movement
on the part of a small group of stu¬
dents makes it necessary that the
identity, of members be kept secret
until such a time when the movement
shall have gained enough momentum
that secrecy is no longer necessary
fop-the efficiency of the organization.
Names of membere are being given to
the editor of The Howard Crimson
so that he may use hla judgment about
the calibre of those in the organiza¬
tion and determine whether or not
he wishes to cooperate in this move¬
ment. We ask that our identity not
be uisclosed unless it is necessary to
prove some particular case," the letter
concluded. - ■ ' -j
