Honor system gives University a good name
By SARAH CAGLE
Assistant Editor
What 100-year-old University
institution is every student automati
cally a part of?
The honor system.
The student attorney general staff
hopes students will remember their
responsibility to maintain the honor
system.
"The system doesn't work with
out students," said Virginia Mew
bourne, student attorney general.
This is true on both sides. Success
of the honor system is dependent on
individual student respect and integ
rity. The honor system also depends
on the students who enforce it.
Students on the attorney general
staff and the Undergraduate Honor
Court are primarily responsible for
enforcing the system.
Violations of the honor code and
the campus code are reported to the
student attorney general in Suite C of
the Carolina Union, or to Jeffrey
Cannon, assistant dean of students
and judicial programs officer, in Steele
Building.
Mewboume determines if there is
sufficient information to require a
hearing. The honor court hears cases,
judges whether the student accused
is guilty and recommends punish
ments which the chancellor must
approve.

Enjoy athletics? Afraid of the
"freshman 15"? Want some exercise?
UNC provides you with the facilities
to satisfy all of these areas:
Basketball Eight full courts
worth in Woollen Gym and several
more in Fetzer. Competition is easy
to find and teams often need one or
two extra players.
Tennis Eleven courts located
behind Joyner Residence Hall with a
backboard practice area. More courts
located beside Hinton James Resi
dence Hall. Both are lighted until 1 1
p.m.
Weights Universal, Nautilus and
free weights on the lower level of
Woollen Gym. Weight keys are avail
able at basket rooms near the facil
ity. Raquetball and squash There
are three raquetball courts on the lower
level of Woollen and seven more in
Fetzer. All six squash courts are lo
cated in Fetzer.
Swimming Thirty-five laps
equal one mile. Downstairs in Wool
len. All must visit here at least once
to pass the dreaded Carolina swim
ming exam.
Field sports Fields adjacent to
the WooilenFetzer complex should
be open this fall to provide ample
space for football, soccer or lacrosse.
Nearby Eringhaus field is well-suited
for baseball or softball.
Volleyball Fetzer has several
well-marked courts. The nets and balls
are provided from the basket room
on the lower level.
Aerobics No schedule has been
provided, but there will be sessions
several times each week. Contact the
IMREC office for more details.
Equipment for any of the sports
mentioned is available to all students
from the equipmentbasket rooms in
both Woollen and Fetzer. Your stu
dent ID and current registration card
are all you need to check it out.
The facility hours vary: M-Th 7:30
a.m.-10 p.m., Fri 7:30 a.m.-7 p.m..
Sat 2 p.m.-6 p.m., Sun 1 p.m.-9
p.m.
Physical education classes do take
precedence over free play, so the fa
cilities are sometimes tied up during
the day. The best times to find free
space are usually early morning or
late afternoon.

academic cheating and its punish
ments. "Without the honor system, a
degree from this University would
have no value," said Philip Floyd,
associate attorney general.
The honor code requires students
to sign a pledge that no unauthorized
aid has been given or received on
each assignment. "Blue books" and
computer answer sheets purchased at
the Student Stores have a line spe
cifically designated for this signature.
Some students don't realize that
the campus code is also part of the
honor system, governing student
behavior outside the classroom, he
said. Campus code offenses include
drug possession and sales, fraudu
lant use of a UNC student identifica
tion card, assault and vandalism.
This year the campus code was
amended to name sexual assault and
sexual and racial harassment as spe
cific offenses as well.
Floyd said these amendments will
make students more aware that as
sault and harassment occur on cam
pus. This awareness will also encour
age students to report assault and
harassment to the student judicial
branch, he said.
All honor court hearings are con
fidential, so victims of sexual assault
should find it a particularly appeal
ing option, he said.
Floyd said the attorney general's
staff has planned several educational
presentations on the honor system for
freshmen as well as upperclassmen
this fall to ensure that everyone is
aware of the honor system. Floyd also
plans to educate students about the
three amendments to the campus code
which are effective this year.
Ignorance of the honor system is
a big problem, Floyd said. The rec
reation of the associate attorney gen
eral position this year was intended
to reduce that ignorance.
"Some people will hear these pres
entations five or six times," Floyd
said. "There shouldn't be any prob
lem in the future with people saying
'I didn't know that was a violation.'"
If students want to become more
directly involved with the honor sys
tem, applications for the attorney
general staff and the Undergraduate
Court will be available in the spring.
