Honor and Campus Codes as one
of the major projects for the cur

Roth, and Bill Wolf who will mar
shal a group of 4-6 students each
into exploring specific phases of
the campus judicial structure.
Evans stated that the plan of
procedure has been to outline the
problems and points of weakness
in Carolina's Honor Code ar

small investigating r committees
toward finding a solution for the
existing ills.
The study has been underway
since the beginning of the week;
mcainrta nnen - Vi o -ri l Till r twill

f.r a period of a week to ten days.
Evans is extremely interested in
having as many students as pos
sible contribute to the investiga

sircngly urged that any . and all
Jf " aaa0 "J "O

tion, observation, etc. on the
Honor and Campus Codes to drop

flee any time after 3 o'clock this
week to present these ideas to

By Coisnci
Rolf e, . Neill, . president of the
North Carolina Collegiate Press
Association, and O. Mae White,
former Daily Tar Heel news
editor, were given official repri
mands yesterday by the Men's
Honor Council.
They were found guilty of
"character assasination" under
charges brought by Student Body
. President Henry Bowers under
the Campus Code. The charges
were an outgrowth of a letter by
Neill and a column by White pub
lished in The Daily Tar Heel on
October 14. ,
Neill and White have the right
to appeal the verdict to the Stu
dent Council within the next 48
hours. They said an announcement
of their decision would be made
today. "
The verdict came after the
Council decided that White and
Neill's action in "making unprov
able statements" against Presi
dent Bowers character were
"un-gentlemanly conduct."
According to the Campus Code,,
a student is expected "to conduct
himself as a gentleman at all
times."
Council chairman, Allen Mill
edge speaking of any attack upon
a man's character, said during the
hearing, Tts not consistant with
the honor system and the campus
code, . . . if you're going to make
statements about a-man's charac
ter you've got to be able to prove
them." ' .y. i

System," Evans said. He . stated
further, "We're not going to revo
lutionize it in a week's time, but
we do plan to make basic changes
to : fundamentally ;. improve it.
Since our work may readily af
fect the academic life of the en
tire student body, we would like
to hear from as many students
as can possibly find time to drop
by Graham Memorial in the next
several days."
Controversy
Given Airing
By. Barty Dunlop
Henry Bowers, student body
president, explained to members
of the Student Party -Monday
night why he brought the char
acter assasination charges against
two students to the Men's Honor
Council. ;
A student should not accuse
another student who is in a re- '
sponsible position unless he has i
definite proof or a witness that "
such a statement was made,
lowers said.
If the universities are suppos
ed to uphold the democratic
ideals and do not, they . cannot
help but -be a bad influence on
the students who will later take
their places as responsible citi
zens, he indicated. '
Bowers concluded his speech by
urging students to participate in
student government. "Student
government cannot become any
thing unless every student takes
an active interest in it.
Nominations for the Town
Women's District I and Town
Men's District I and II were
made.
Power Behind The Wheel;
Students Rights Defined
By Walt Dear
The power behind the wheel,
the wheel being student govern
ment, is the official Student Con
stitution. First adopted in 1946 and revis
ed by students in April of last
year, the document, a concise
eight page paper with blue cover
and available for 50 cents in the
student government office, is " the
student's. Bible when it comes to
self-government.
With the Constitution; backing
up councils and other groups,
$50,000 can be given to a certain
or alloted to certain organiza
tions, and the student president or
other officials may be impeached.
The Constitution is the supreme
student law and can be amended
only by the Student Legislature
and a two-thirds majority in a
campus election.
Complete with a preamble and
11 articles, the Constitution is
modeled after the U.S. Consti
tution. It provides for three
branches of student government:
Legislative with that power in
vested in the Student Legisla
ture; Executive, vested in a presir
dent, vice-president, t and secretary-treasurer,
i and a Judicial,
with nnvver vested in a Student
J Council, and several other coun-
cils. '. . :

ring chairman, today;
Ring sales wilL continue
throughout the yecx on every
second Thursday. Kings for the
Class of '53 will be on sale
after Christmas.
- The Grail is the only agency
through which the official
Universit y ring may be
obtained. - .
Under the Constitution a stu
dent can be dismissed from
school, run for office, appeal to
the University Aolministration
for a change in curriculum, fly to
Yugoslavia to attend meetings, or
just study and forget all -about
student Government.
Some; students think student
government accomplishes little,
and is a waste of time. Still others
don't realize there is such a thing
as a Student Constitution. .Yet
with the authority .vested in the
Constitution, the Carolina Stu -
dent is able to decide nianj- of his
own - problems, run - his own . or
ganizations, and elect his officials.
The preamble which "sums up
the ideas and ideals of the Con
stitution is as follows:
"With strong purpose to resolve
the doubts we have , inherited
Iron ,ne hundred and , fifty years
of formless growth, with resolute
determination to preserve the
best in our tradition of responsi
ble student self-government, we
assert our goals to preserve order,
make personal freedom secure,
establish justice, and win a last
ing opportunity for responsible
individual and collective action;
and to these ends we ordain and
.establish this constitution for the
Student Body of the University of
North arolina at Chapel HiTI."

The Daily Tar Heel will onca
again become a ' standard-sized
newspaper next week, following
action of. the Publications Board
yesterday.
In a hectic two and a half hour
meeting, the board heard- argu
ments for a six-day-a-week tab
loid from Ernest Delaney, finan-'
cial coordinator of publications
finances, "L. M. Pollander, faculty
member b the board and member
of the advertising department
Glenn Harden, editor of The
Daily Tar Heel and CL T. Watkins,
business manager or The Daity
Tkr,Heel.
1'pgdirig for "the standard were
Frank Allstori, chairman of the
board, and two visitors to the
board, Harry Snook, columnist,
and coed Pat Morse.
Walter Dear, member of the
board, moved that "The Daily Tar
Heel be published 5 days a week
standard ' size during the winter
and spring quarters and this fall
six days a week. The motion was
passed by a vote of five to one.
Frank Allston, chairman, of the
board, expressed his view of the
Y"V-.l.ir a. !" -r v - i - '
ruuiiuctuuiis jDoarti sxanu as a
"progressive step in the right "di
rection." He- said ' he was well
pleased with the outcome of the
meeting and the vote of the
Board. " ; . .
Watkins then moved that "the
publications ' board request that
The Daily Tar Heel receive from
the student legislature within a
month $2100 to be placed on ac-
rcount within a month after pass
age. This motion was passed by
three to one.: . '
The purpose of this latter mo
tion was explained by proponents
of a "financially flexible; tabloid"
on the basis that The Daily Tar
Heel is almost sure to lose money
operating as a standard.
"I voted for the standard be-
L cause its ' financially sound with
the additional $4,000 from the legislature,"-
said board -member
A-ear, expressing the opinion of
proponents of - the measure.
"Unfortunately, the issues in
volved in deciding whether or
not to publish, the standard -sized
paper are confused in the minds
of the members of the board be
cause of the fact that legislature
stipulated the return to standard
sized publishing in, their recent
bugetary revision," said secretary
Ken Penegar..
Meanwhile, proponents of the
tabloid left the board convinced,
along with Watkins, that The
Daily Tar Heel will lose money
under the present budget. -
The budgetary revision will go
to the Legislature Thursday night
for final vote. The Board will at
that time represent; its stand on
the matter of financial support of
the standard sized paper.
