Welconte This summer term finds many old and familiar faces back once again on Tech's campus. Of these returnjng Tech men, a la rge number are former members of Tech's Naval V- L2 Unit who received orders to leave Tech last November for further training in other Naval Units at Eastern Colleges. Some or these men had some college training as civilians before entering the Navy. A great many or them, while in the Navy, had trained at two or three colleges--Tufts, Williams, Brown, Yale, and Rensselaer Tech. Yet ell(h of thC:~e men, upon his release from the &ervice, chose t.o return to Worcester Tech to complete his education . There was evidentl:Y a strong liking for T ech in Lhc minds of these men and also a desire to return as soon as possible. Perhaps it was the congeniality and good fellowship of a small collegethings which exist in a much lesser degree at a large universitythat brou~ht them back to Worcester. Perhaps il wa~ the strong fraternal t1es-for many of these men were members of Tech's nine Greek. letter fraternities- that led them back lo the Hill. Perhaps it was their interest in lhe type of education they were receiving here at Tech. In any case, for any or all of the above reasons, or for others not mentioned, these Junjor Aeros, Civils, and Electrics are back to their studies at Tech. They have alreuciy received a warm welcome from lhe Professors of the Institute who were sorry to see them leave last November because they were considered, ns a group, to be among thr best students that Tech hns hnd. We or the TECH NEw~ taff wish to extend our hand in greeting to them. We can only add thi!l thought " Glad to have you back with u~, Fellows Keep up the good work."
Engineering Honesty To one who bas truly the instincts of an engineer, honesty is not only the best policy, as an old proverb has it, but is indeed the only poUcy. The engineer's flrst well-mastered tool is mathematics, and mathematics is essentially honest. So are physics and the laws of chemistry. Data that. are not honestly obtained as the result of unprejudiced observation and measurement are not admi ·sible into the engineer's calculations. Engineers as a class are notably free from the taint of even little dishonesties, because their training and practice have habituated tbem lo dealing honestly with facts. There is no sophistry in engineering. Engineering students appear to accept these truths easily und quickly. Normally, very little suspicion of dishonest work arises on an engineering campus. At this Inst itute we c:m be proud of a surprisingly clean record and instnnces of dishonesty are r:ue. However, the recent years and present times ure not normal. In many ways students lack some of the example and guidance that have in the past operated to teach early the basic policies that should control their behavior, and al·o it has to be remembered that wartimes subject people to many strains and temptations that are someimes hard to endure. It is not charged that dishonest work has become more prevalent on this campus ; but it has to be reportrd that there have been several instances of dishonesty in one of its mo ' t marked and repugnant forms-cheating in examinations. Possibly this should be taken as a symptom of more widcsprE>ad tendency toward dishonesty. These remarks are not directed toward a. better control of dishonesty in examinations. Present and past policies of the Institute ensure adequate control. Instructors are required lo proctor examinations, in order that all students may be assured that their standing,_ based upon their own honest work. will not be imperiled by the d1shonest work of others. When a student is di covered to be cheating, by whatever means, he is summoned before the Dean of Students, and if he cannot prove his innocence, is summarily (Cont[nurd on Page 4. Col. 4}

ferred most of the E.E. and M.E. V-12ers, who were juniors here at Tech, to NROTC Units ul Brown University and R.P.I . Most of the men who were transferrt'd are out or the Navy and back again this term to take up where they left off. Their return has been something of a reunion for a class which seemed to "click" perfectly with the Tech way or doing things. As some of those who went to Brown expressed it, "What a country club that place is - 1 never studied." ''They make it hard for you here at Tech but you certainly learn something." And the expressions from lhc men who went to R.P.l. are not very difft>rent. or those who returnE-d, quite a few are married and are living off campus: some of the single fellows are staying at fraternity hou5es while others have rooms or are stay· ing at the Dorm.

COLUMNIST
We are introclucin~ with this issue n newcomer to the Xe:ws staff who will represent the more "sett led" interests here at Tech and an "clement'' which, to some ut lc>nst , is c1estinecl to have (or nlreurly does have) quite un influence in Tech affairs. Willard (better knuwn as Caz) Adams, as be explains in hi ' rolumn " Gaz-ing Around", will deal with the "beller half" interests of the Tech married students. Bein~ in the state or matrimony himself, he ha a source of first-hand information for what goes on in nnd out of the Wives' :\s."<ociatlon. I'm sure that he realizes even more than we that a wrong stntt'ment will put him up on the prt)verbial fence not knowing which way to jump. \\'e welcome him to the staff and stand behind him- way back.
