m- "It's rickety and shaky, but
it works, and will continue to
work," said Professor Peter
Walker in reference to the
UNC Honor code. "The altern
atives to the Honor code are
so frightful that we need not
even discuss them. No one
wants a monitor system, nor
do teachers want to spy on
their students."
Evidently, most UNC in
structors expect their students
to observe the honor code.
Only eight students out of 100
said their teachers either did
not use it, or used other meth
ods of insuring honesty.
: "I always expect my stu
dents to be honest, and I treat
them as honest people," said
Walker. "If I went around spy

RALEIGH (AP) The
North Carolina House tenta

Tuesday authorizing the gov

The measure would give the
governor the power to in

$10,000 for information lead

After the House had given

the bill, Rep. Roger Kiser, D

sure was carried over until
Wednesday.
In his legislative address

"With a $74 billion budget
slated for defense, Congress is
not in a mood to appropriate
anything for domestic spend
ing that isn't absolutely nec
essary," Gardner said.
T?SA will have to lobby the
executive agencies to get
funds, Gardner thinks.
Gardner was interviewed at
WUNC-TV just before he ap
peared on "North Carolina
News Conference" Monday
evening.
He was asked what he
thought of the newest draft
reforms proposed this week
end by a presidential commis
sion. The commission's plan rec
ommended calling men 19
years of age first by a na
tional lottery and cutting off
student deferments.
"I haven't had a chance to
see the report yet, but from
newspaper reports I'd say it
looks like a good plan al
though I don't believe I'd
agree with a lottery - based
system."
He said that college enroll
ments probably would not be
affected much by the plan
since a maximum of 300,000
men are drafted yearly and
there are now about 2 mfilion
youths 19 years of age.
"The present system defi
nitely needs overhauling, and
I plan to look into this new
proposal more thoroughly
when I get back to Washing
ton." During the telecast Gardner
he tried "to persuade students
who think otherwise that it is
honorable to turn in academic
cheats."
Boren's letter was in reply

writer stated that the only true

But Cathey did not com

teemen in the 18th congres

Powell had been regarded
as a sure winner in the April
11 special election for the seat
from which he was ousted by
Congress last week.
The Republicans obviously
hoped Meredith's reputation in
the field of civil rights would
make him a strong contender.
Meredith, who said he was
opposed to Powell's ouster
from Congress, said he was
aware that in opposing the Ne
gro Democrat he might lay
himself open to "the fear and
the scorn from fellow Ne
groes." Powell's lawyers said he will
make no attempt to block the
special election April 11.
Attorney Robert Carter said
the decision grew out of a con
ference with Powell, who is in
Bimini in the Bahamas.
Democratic leader J. Ray
mond Jones said he plans to

Cathey said he wanted to
study the report further.
Basically agreeing with the
commission, however, he sug
gested that the names of stu
dents in their upper teens be
placed on the lottery list.
Cathey said he did not favor
using grades as a means of
deciding who "goes." The dean
said that Phi Beta Kappas
should be treated the same as
students who were failing. He
did not elaborate.
As for graduate students,
Cathey said they shouldn't be
allowed to continue their edu
cation past undergraduate
school without first having
been eligible for the draft.
Cathey said that in some
ways education might even be
improved through elimination
of student deferments because
"Students attending college
would be more mature" after
military service.
As an example of what he
considers is greater maturity,
the dean mentioned former
soldiers returing to school
here after World War II.
He said that as a group they
performed well compared to
many nonveterans.
Greater maturity, Cathey
continued, would not be the
only benefit derived from his
proposed system. He said that
the GI Bill would assist many
students in financing their edu
cations following military ser
vice. The lottery system, together'
with drafting younger men
first, are measures which
Johnson says he will put into
effect through executive or
ders. Selective Service Director
Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey
said Monday that he was im
mediately preparing to start
drafting 19-year-old first.
