New Honor Code
The proposed honor code is
now being considered by the
faculty executive committee. It
reads as follows;
The students of St. Andrews
Presbyterian College, with the
concurrence of the faculty and
administration, have voluntarily
assumed the responsibility of
creating and maintaining an
Honor Community to challenge
moral complacency and irre
sponsibility. This Honor Com
munity Is based on mutal respect
and trust, and therefore must
function in an atmosphere of
freedom and harmony. The in
dividual fulfills his responsibili
ty of maintaining this Communi
ty by basing his actions on the
assumption that every person is
■worthy of respect and trust.
Cheating, stealing, lying, and
any other actions which threaten
this respect and trust, by their
very nature, destroy the Honor
Community. Everyone who be
comes a student at St, Andrews
is on his honor not to cheat,
steal, lie or threaten the Honor
Community in matters involving
campus life or academic work
and to do what he can to dis
courage dishonorable actions.

After 13 years of wondering
the leathery skinned woman found
herself on St. Andrews campus.
Peace Pilgrim has walked over
25,000 miles on speaking tours

something about world peace.
She is penniless, owns only what
she wears, and has no organiza

what is given to her and fre
quently sleeps in bus stations or
even by the roadside.
Mankind, she declares, is drift

out of pure apathy and only mean
ingful action by the concerned
backed by inner understanding
and harmony can ammeliorate
man’s immaturity. TTils harmony
must be introduced on the inter
personal, community, and Inter
national levels.

the new concrete picnic tables,
and other jobs that require heavy
lifting. It has also been used to
drill drainage holes in the athletic
