In an effort to secure the cooperation of all the members of the student body and of the Faculty in effecting an improvement in the present examination system, the student Senate will call an assembly in the near future for the consideration of the following resolution:
“Whereas, the student body of the University of Miami is unwilling to openly support the Honor Code of the Student Association, snd
Whereas, the resulting examinations now existing under the Honor Code are detrimental to the welfare of the student body, Therefore, in order to compare the effectiveness of the Honor Code Method with that of the supervised Method of conducting tests and examinations,
Be it resolved that Section 1, Article VIII, of the Constitution of the Student Association, which reads “Cheating—giving or receiving any manner of aid in connection with a test or examination in any University course,” should be suspended as a part of the Honor Code by the Administration' with the approval of a two-thirds majority of a duly-called assembly of the Student Asociation, this suspension to be in effect during the remainder of the school year, and further,
Be it resolved that the Faculty of the University shall be invited to assume the responsibility of supervising tests and examinations, as they deem best, for this period.” (Approved by the Senate, April 21, 1932)
It is readily seen that this experiment will be of great value in determining the best policy for the future government of the students. Everyone is urged to carefully consider this plan and be prepared to discuss it at the meeting of the Student Association.

Los Angeles — Wei Ming Hua, Chinese student registered at the University of Southern California, has been held in jail here since last November by federal immigration authorities because he made the mistake of writing a graduate thesis on the “History of Communism in China”.
This was revealed this week, when University officials and attorneys sought to obtain permission for Wei to go to Germany, in lieu of complete freedom in the United States. He was to have been deported to China, but he expressed the fear that his enemies there might kill him.
Despite the protests of Dean Rockwell D. Hunt of the S. C. graduate school and other educators, who testified before immigration inspectors that Wei was a brilliant student and that his thesis was a valuable scholastic contribution, the government officials refused to allow him to stay.
The federal agents this week were being sharply criticized by students and faculty members at the University and at other institutions on the coast, since Wei previously had studied at the University of California and at Stanford University. He entered this country legally as a Boxer Indemnity Student, it was said, and later was encouraged by his professors to chronicle the development of Communism in the Orient-
