Dead Week, Exam Warnings Face Students in Closing Days No Quizzes, Term Themes Legal in Com ing Week N6 Cheating on Us, Faculty Threatens A gain BY JIMMY PITT ’ Notice: All dead-beats may defer intellectual post-mortems until May 21. Dead Week, one of the more popular celebrations such as “ I ’m an American Week," “ Restaurant Week," and “Ev­ erybody’s Week," begins officially today. This annual dead-line, occurring one week before finals each year without benefit of formal procla­ mation, is a welcome respite from the last-minute, all-in barrage of term papers and hour quizzes. The inactive period has been designated by the General Faculty especially relieve students from many school duties and allow them more time to study and prepare for examinations. Or at least to allow a breathing spell to those who resolve to study— but who seem more inclined this year to eat, drink, and be merry before attacking the semi­ annual 12-out-of-l4, and combating Local Draft Board II. to However, for those who feel that they can take a short while off from Barton’s and ball games to do a bit of serious studying, the following regula­ tions prevail: 1. Quizzes or written reviews covering more than one day’s assignment are forbidden. 2. Make-up quizzes, except those given to indi­ vidual students are forbidden. 3. Parts of final examinations must not be given. 4. Term papers or projects must not be assign­ ed or collected during this period. If you’re wondering just how much “shady stuff" you can get away with on those fearfully-near final examinations, read this: Anything from loss of cerdit to disqualification from being able to receive a degree from the Uni­ versity awaits the student who engages in any type of “scholastic dishonesty,’’ the discipline com­ mittee said in a report to the General Faculty Tuesday afternoon. For plagiarism, collusion, or cheating on an ex­ amination or quiz, the report pointed out, freshmen or first-year transfers may suffer loss of credit and disciplinary probation, other students may be sus­ pended for at least one semester, and graduate students may be debarred from degrees received here. Plagiarism is defined in the statement as “ the appropriation of passages, either word for word or in substance, from the writings of another and the incorporation of these as one’s own in written work offered for credit." Collusion, it says, is “ collaboration with another person in the preparation of notes, themes, reports, or other written work offered for credit unless such collaboration is specifically approved in ad­ vance by the instructor."

In W ashington “ Time Staggers On" will begin its sixth year of production next fall. The show has, from the first, been a saga of University life, written and produced by Univer­ sity students. Until last year, when Johnny Young wrote the script and nine songs, the production had been a variety show of skits and musical and dance numbers. The success of the last two pro­ ductions, however, has prompted members of Theta Sigma Phi to continue the musical comedy type of show, and to make the contest open to the entire student body.

Old Glory Evolved from Army Colors State Banners, Emblems Come from Colonel's Flags Old glory represents B Y M A R Y R U T H H U N T I N G T O N to each American a struggle for liberty on the field of battle— Lexington, Concord, Bunker Hill, and Ger­ mantown— and the assembly in rooms of State Houses. The de­ sign of the flag has evolved frorfl banners of army regiments to an emblem of a great nation. W h e n G e o r g e Washington reached Cambridge in 1775 to take commnad of the so-called army, he found the militia without uniforms or colors. With the burden of or­ ganizing an army from untrained colonists, Washington dismissed the question of a flag by urging the various colonels to provide for their regiments colors of such de­ sign as might appeal to them. These banners unfurled to make history for themselves and to be­ come implanted in the hearts of the American people. “Conquer or Die" swelled from the Concord farmers’ banner of an armored hand carrying a sword on ^maroon background. A green pine tree and red cross of St. George prevailed at Bunker Hill. More revolutionary was Massachusett’s green pine on white inscribed with “ An Appeal to Heaven," called the first distinctly original flag of the American people. Rhode Island’s anchor and word “Hope" has been made the state flag. A blue flag with white crescent and “Liberty or Death" led Virginians and Carolinians to battle. As fer­ vor grew, the South came forth with the picture of a rattlesnake with “Don’t Tread On Us" on it following suggestion of a Philadelphia newspaper that the colonists send a ship of rattle­ snakes to be released in St. James Park. Ornate banners like the gold and white of the Third New York Army later became state seals. the Quite without official order or direction, a new flag was hoisted over General Washington’s head­ quarters in Cambridge January I, 1776— the Grand Union flag. It bore the crosses of St. George and | St. Andrew in the upper comer, a sign of the remaining allegiance to the Union Jack of Great Brit­ ain, and also the thirteen red and white stripes. The colonists were not severing all the Mother Country but were register­ ing discontent with the tyranny of the king. This flag was offi­ cially raised over the first navy created by the Continental Con­ gress and remained the official standard until 1777. ties with With the battle for actual in­ dependence underway, Congress j appointed a committee of Wash­ ington, Robert Morris, and George Ross to submit a new flag for a new nation. The men took their crude design to Betsy Ross, a seamstress, and widowed niece of Ross, for her to construct. This flag of thirteen red and white stripes, seen commonly on banners of regiments, and the distinctive thirteen white stars in a circle on a blue background was proudly a c ­ c l a i m e d and accepted by the Con­ gress on June 14, 1777, Both §n extra star and an extra stripe were added for additional states until in ISIS an act was passed providing for the return to thir­ teen stripes and the addition of stars only for annexed states. that red field over Like all beautiful traditions, the story of the history of the flag has been disqualified. British his­ torians discredit our flag by say­ the ing it represents only crest and coat of arms of the j Washington family— three white) stars on a two white stripes. Naval experts claim j that the thirteen idea of the white stars on a canton of b lu e ; for naval banners; was long before the Stars and Stripes was hought of. Of course literal interpreters of history read into the Betsy Ross story only legend single without verification in a written word. inspired The origin and history of the flag may be a point of discussion. It is for us, the Americans of to­ day, to be proud of the colors, to be proud we are Americans! Moore's Pitching Outlasts Owls Longhorns to Play At A. & M. Friday B Y B IL L Y S A N S I N G Trran Sport a Editor three-run explosion A in th* first inning burst the Texas Long­ horns nearer a Conference title Friday, as Udell Moore subdued the Rice Owls, 7 to 2. The pitching duel between the calm, blond Texas senior and the Owls’ Fred Pepper lasted but three innings when the Rice star delib- erately quit the mound after re* leasing four runs and five hite to the Steers during his brief stay. The next Owl pitcher, Don Ken­ nedy, lasted four unsuccessful in­ nings, and finally Bill Telschow stifled the Texas bats in the last two innings. Moore, pitching his sixth Con­ ference victory, scattered six hits well, and bore down in the pinches to close off every Rice rally ber fore it threatened the Texas lead* Adding to his pitching chores, Moore cracked out two base hitei the same number that Laydefl, Stone, and Bostick had, and drov# home one run for his cause. More than three thousand fans watched what might have been the final home game for Texas. They will not come back to Clark Field if the Steers can sweep both ends of the title-deciding series with A.&M. at College Station on Friday and Saturday. The opening rally that brought Texas the three-run lead was a weird thing, marked by good Texas base running, some good bunting, and a flat-footed Owl infield. Doc Smith laid down a perfect bunt; Grady Hatton's infield hit was left standing by the Owl third baseman, pink-cheeked Frankis Carswell of basketball fame; Lay- den’s sacrifice; a wild pitch, and so on. The second inning was high* lighted by Jack Leigh, the gang­ ling Owl center fielder, who pulled off a circus catch of John Ko- schak’s line drive to left center. Leigh’s catch, made just off th s craggy cliff that lines Clark Field, was one of the best of the year. Starting with the third inning, Texas turned in a run an inning for the next four to wind up their scoring. Stone was forced homo by a walk in the third. Layden’t double and a smash by Stone that caromed off Barrow’s glovo a t tho second base produced fourth. Moore’s double sent Boa- tick home in the fifth, and Ley­ den's second double o f the day led to the last Texas score in tho sixth. in Rice gained their first run in the fifth when Gerlan scored a t the tail end of several Longhorn errors, and the thin Rice catcher came across home once more when he smashed a curve ball far over the right field fence in the seventh. But for the most part, it was Moore’s game. He ended one rally in the fifth, forcing two Owls to tap weak infield grounders, then put an abrupt end to another Rico See BALL GAME, Page 2.
