Honor code reappraisal
sought at Gettysburg
(1.P.)-Students at Gettysburg
College have convinced faculty
members to delay a reappraisal of the
non-functioning Honor System until
they can assess student commitment
to Uphold the Honor Code. Wearing
small, orange buttons that read, "The
Honor Code-ask me why I'm for it,"
a group of 43 students leaders here
have begun an effort to reverse peer
pressure.
Students who do report violations
to the Honor Commission have run the
risk of being condemned by their peer
group. Student Senate President
Leonard Oszustowicz cited this
"negative peer pressure" as the
primary difficulty in the functioning
of the Honor System here.
Comments from faculty members
and administrators-Dean of Students
Frank Williams said, "for a number of
years, we've debated at length a
variety of amendments to the Honor
System: we have agonized over the
workability of the principles.
"Many have questioned, and indeed
still do. the viability of the second half
of the Honor Pledge." (Like college
students throughout the country,
many Gettysburg students seem to
have adopted the moral principle
The Guilfordian

"Thou shall not rat" on another
student observed cheating, which has
made the second half of the Honor
Pledge inoperative.)
Wade Hook, chairman of the
Department of Sociology and
Anthropology, took the opposing
view. After commending the students
for their "noble sentiments," he said,
"there is a style of life and a
sub-culture in this student body that
operates as the very antithesis of the
norms that these students uphold."
He went on to point out that the
same strategy of "a group of students
declaring their intentions to enforce
some new social regulations if they
would be liberalized." was used when
the alcohol policy was revised. "At
this point I am very disenchanted with
those verbal affirmations of a group of
students at that time."
Physics Department chairman
David Cowan urged the faculty not to
force the students to bear the full
burden of recommitment. "There's no
way to change the attitudes of this
campus in three months or three
years-it is a long, steady process. 1
think the faculty has to help by
creating an academic atmosphere in
the dormitories and by demanding
high standards in their courses and
high expectations in their students"
Letters to the editor
A. Staunch Comments on
"Equality"
Dear Editor:
My young college friend is
becoming very difficult. He is
even asking questions which is
certainly not proper for one
receiving instructions in
Quaker ways. He even
questions our practices.
By recounting to him how
George Fox and other ancient
worthies refused to bow and
remove their hats for persons
of position Friends witnessed
to the equality of all men. We
refuse to admit the superiority
of anyone over us."
The young friend was
impressed, but he carried the
idea too far. "It's easy to fee
no one is superior to us but
what about feeling superior to
others? Shouldn't the testi
mony work both ways?"
"You seem to have missed
the point." I said with
agitation, "Our testimonies
apply to such persons as
would assume power over us
and should not be given
strange meanings." 1 was
about to suggest a period of
silence when...
An exhibition of 24 works by
artist Phil Perry will continue
through March 5 in the
Gallery of Founders Hall at
Guilford College. Perry is an
art major from Atlanta.

"Would you say there is
equality among Quakers, even
at the college?"
"We hold all people to be
equal," I said stoutly.
"Then why do people speak
of 'weighty Friends' as
different from others? Doesn't
this mean there are status
levels among Quakers?"
I tried to be calm, and
showed him that our testi
mony applies to such persons
trying to be superior to us, not
to the affairs of the College or
the local meeting.
Then the young friend
asked about women's status. I
told him that Friends have
recognized the equality of
women from the earliest days.
"However, we do not carry
the idea too far."
The young friend then
raised some very improper
questions about our attitudes
toward racial and economic
equality so that I was forced to
terminate the conversation.
Yours for equality,
A. Staunch Quaker
