Weiss, according to his attorney, brightened up considerably yester- day after the effects of his sudden predicament had wora-away, and while he realizes fully the serious- ness of the charge and the weight of the penalty for gullt, he appears to be preparing himself for a battle.

Yale School Gives Up Honor Systems in Exams New Haven, Sept. 1 (UP)—After an experiment with the honor sys- tem, Yale college will return to strict faculty suprevision during ex- aminations. The failure of the system, Dean Clarence W. Mendell declared, is due to lack of student interest in the problem. Under the honor system, each stu- dent must sign & paper declaring he has received no help during the examination from any outside force or from other students. Should he detect another student cribbing, he is expected to report the guilty one to the faculty. Apparently the second provision, felt to violate the American code of fair play, was the cause of failure of the system, Last spring the student council asked for a student referendum on the question of discarding the honor system. 8o little interest was shown in the question that the council passed & resolution urging the abolishment of the tem. The June examinations were con- ducted under faculty administra- tion, as will all examinations be conducted in the future. The 8heffield school and the freshman class, however, will main- tain the honor system.
