FIRST BUILDING ERECTED 0> ELON COLLEGE CAMPUS
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY "26, 1958
TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE
Since the exam period is upon us, and
since there are some who apparently do
not understand fully the Honor Code as
Bct up on the campus, it seems fitting that
some explanation of the rot'e be given.
A line statement of its meanirg wr.s issued
by the Student Honor Cjunt:i in ‘.he £;ring
of 1956 and published at that lime. Per
haps it would be well to reprint that state
ment at this time, since it explains quite
well the application of honor to campus
problems. The statement follows;
Under the Honor System here at Elon
College each student is on his or her honor
uot to cheat, steal or lie; and if any student
.hould see another student committing any
v>f hese violations then he or she is honor
boiKid to report the violation to the Honor
Council.
The members of the newly formed Honor
Council, which has recently assumed its
duities for the coming year, feel that every
student should be aware of his or her re
sponsibility to the Honor Code, should know
the procedure for reporting violations and
should be familiar with the actual manner
of trial.
Since a student's honor is the very foun
dation of his character, each should think
it a duly to himself and to his ciasssmates
to report himself if he violates this Honor
Code. By turning himself in, he demon
strates that he is aware of his misdeeds
and is willing to accept the punishment
deemed necessary to his action,
A student observing a violation of honor
is obligated to see that the name of the
student under suspicion, along with the
offense involved, is reported to the Honor
Council. He may do this by asking the stu
dent involved in the violation lo report
himself or by reporting the information
directly to the Council. If a member of
the Council cannot be reached, a student
may ask his instructor or the dean to in
form the Council.
When an offense is reported to the Honor
Council, the chairman will generally notify
the accused person and a lime will be ap
pointed for trial. At this trial the Honor
Council first hears the evidence against
the student in his absence; then the accused
person is called in to plead his case and
to discuss the violation with the Coimcil
members. After this discussion he is dis
missed. and Council thoroughly reviews the
case and reaches a final judgn,cnt. The
accused person will be informed of the
results by the Council.
Above all else, the Honor Council does
uot seeK to condemn or punish; rather, its
purpose IS lo protect and uphold the Honor
Code and lo help the student. The growth
of the individual as a person of character
Is the chief concern of all the Council mem
bers: and the Council challenges each and
every student—the Student Body itself—
lo make the same purpose as universal
>'im on the campus.
The best attitude and spirit a student
can develop can be summed up in ihe fol
lowing words—
“Elon is my college. 1 shall be loyal to
her in word and deed; ... I shall not treat
lightly this opoprtunity to learn and grow
in wisdom, nor lower my character by dis-
iionesty fn academic work , , , Elon is my
college. I shall always be proud of her in
such a way that she may be proud of me.”

Most people who write like lo do it in
privacy. I like to take a thought and dally
wiln it, then 1 scribble it down, but be-
iore 1 have lime to scrutinize it I'm al-
wa>» in.Cfrup;ed by wanderers, bummers
cr braggarts. 1 would say that 95 per ce.u
of Carolina HaU folk fall into these cate
gories.
Wanderers, for example, like to go from
room lo room and criiicize the faults of
the college, mainly heat, water and Mr.
X. who stems to fall into the displeasure
of ro many. I must admit that they have
good reason to complain.
1 have just witnessed a scene in which
two guys came out of the shower, ail
soaped down, and then the water cut off,
and that is not to mention the numerous
times this has happened. If it's not the
water system fouled up, it’s the heating
iystem, and 1 wonder what's being done
about it.
I see workers digging ditches on one
hide of the campus one day and on We
■jLher side the next. Instead of getting re
sults, the prodigious digging leads one to
believe they might be looking for treasures.
Students who have corner rooms pay
more, but I sometimes wonder why. They
have less heat than the others. Perhaps
it’s for the beautiful landscapes, since they
have two windows through which to view
them.
Speaking of heat, tis said that before
North Dorm was closed, some of its in
habitants would come over to Carolina Hall
and spend the night with someone whose
roommate had gone home, and then a
couple of weeks later the guy in the room
v^ould get a bill for having a guest.
Those are just part of the gripes one
hears from the wanderers. Of course they
are always griping about the food, anci
one hears that certain persons have com
plained that there is too much lood being
given in the dining hall.
There are complaints, too, about paying
for twenty hours and only getting credit
lor eighteen. Then, if one loses credit as
a penalty, it comes from the eighteen and
not from the two you could not get any
way.
Bummers are quite common since the
drink machines were installed. Why don t
they put in cigarette machines? It's get
ting so more than one comes into your
;oom at a time for a cigarette. It looks
as if business is so good they would have
branch offices.
Then, of course, there is the braggart.
There is not much to say about him. (He's
already said it all.) He likes to tell you
about the girl back home, the one you
ceyer get a chance to sac.

SIGNED,
THE HONOR COUNCIL
A PARTING SHOT — This is,
of course, my last column tor
t,’ie outgoing Winter Quarter,
and I am sure and truly know
that some of my brief but well-
aimed shots have tapped upon
Ihe heads of some unfortunates
like a bolt from the heavenly
blue. And now, I find this my
last screaming chance to take
pen — or typewiiter — in hand
and deal out more of the same.
There is a compelling force with
in me. which makes me want
to go on and on. Not that I have
tried to be detrimental to any
one, but the force seems to be
a force that drives me to reach
into the barrel of causticism and
scream the truth. However, just
now, on Ihe eve of examina
tions. which may prove a reck
oning time for more than one.
I will lay this caustic obsession
aside and pass out a few laurels
and salutations to those so de
serving,
ORCHIDS TO — Doc Mathis
and Company for their fine
showing of recent games on the
hardwood floor. What could be
a greater gift for this student
body of ours and for the team
itself than a Vorth State Con
ference tourney berth after such
a poor start . . . Chuck Oakley,
for exposing the secrets within
the portals of West Dorm and
■Virginia Hall. I only wish that
I knew what he knows . . .
"Woody" Woodhouse and Bob
Mercer for their fine officiating
in a recent chess tournament.
NEWS AND QUOTES — Dick
McCarthy and Bill Graham are
due to report to their respective
baseball training camps in Flor
ida for spring practice . . . The
Elon Players’ production of Ar
thur Miller's ‘The Crucible’’ will
be presented in the near future,
and I advise and implore each
and all lo witness it . . . Good
lo see Sarah Barringer back on
the campus after her brief ill
ness . . . Carolina HaU is with
out H-two-O at this writing.
(Note that I had to spell out
that chemical symbol.) I cer
tainly hope the condition may
be remedied and that it may
not prevaS TOO long.
ATTENTION—,\I1 candidates
who wish try-outs for Elon’s
forthcoming spring grid prac
tice should report at the very
start of the Spring Quarter.
The grid workouts will be held
daily . . . Rumors have been
heard by this scribe to the ef
fect that motion pictures will be
shown each weekend next quar-
ter. I truly hope that the ru
mors materialize, and' I know
that I speak for others as well
as from a personal standpoint
. . . What special interest does
Philosophy 31 class hold for Dot-
tie Apple?? ... I must pass a
little praise to change the trend
in the direction of Garrison's
Gossip Grill. “Scrooge ’ has in
troduced PIZZA to the campus
of Elon . . . The recent snow
and cold wave stalled many au
tos, cracked a few blocks and
a few windshields. Only recent
ly did I push my friend, Mackie
McLauchlin, from the grip of
Old Man Winter, but it was
somwhat of a pleasure, for he
was with a "living doll,” but I
can’t see why she was hiding
herself in the front seat. Any
explanation. Mpc?.'
SLASHING — I seem to find
laurels few and far and ia be
tween, so mayoe I could thrust
a little "knife" into the side of
Bob Willett, the Number One
photographer of the Greensboro
Daily News. It so happens that
Bob has come to the conclusion
that the hardest task for a liar
is not whether people believe
him, but whether he can believe
the prefabricated stories that
others tell him. He recently
showed to this modern and cy
nical world that chivalry is not
dead, for it was within the span
of quite recent times that he
came to the aid of a young mai
den in distress, a maiden who
had been somewhat defamed by
a few culprits. Keep up the
good work. Bob, it was of such
stuff that those frequenters of
the ancient Round Table were
made,
BUT NIX ON THAT — Let
me call it quits. It is just no
fun whatsoever to praise any
one. I guess, after all, I m just
an addict to gossip; so I travel
this pleasant trend no longer.
Instead, I must return to that
barrel and fill out your know
ledge with my caustic secrets
in my next literary effort.
So. it’s bye-bye, Luves!!!
