-8- individual ovor-indulgos at a fratornity function, lie will bo doalt with as and individual apart from his fraternity. This parallels the Senate's solution of tv/o years ago ps far as drinking off-campus is concerned, it is left to the doscretion and maturity of the individual. (Editor's note” The bill passed by the Senate states that students arc "cxpectcd" not to drink.) If the council is granted authority, fraternity-sorority relations with the adininistr^tion will be greatly improved. A good Pa.n-Hellonic Council will improve the status of the social organi2i:tions and will bo something in which our student body can take pride. THE 0.l-’INI0NAT0R by Allen Tyndal^ I wont opinion hunting this month with the question, "What is your opinion of the Honor System at Elon College?" Pete Pisk-Jr.- "It is a shame that it does not work better than it does. If the students would v/ork for it, it would work much bettor. The Honor System is something to be respected and not to bo afraid of." Fred Stephenson -Sohp. - "The Honor System is a good thing, but it has fallacies. As for cheating, the Honor System is the best means of correction, but as for dormitory pro blems (water fights, etc.) I don't believe that it is very effective. The way socioty is today, a, person would not turn his buddy in for water fights because of the after-effects of such action for both parties involved. I can only urge at this' time that each student abide by the Honor System; nevertheless, as l>ng as students arc under compulsion to turn other students in, the Honor System will have trouble functioning." Bob Gwaltnoy-Sr.- "Without cooperation from the students, the Honor System is no good. You might as well have a moni torial system if the students won't do their part." Paul Hyde -Jr.- "It is a student responsibility, but the students aren't accepting the res onsibility. It is rapidly becoming ineffective. Perhaps the system should bo revised in such a v/ay that the students v/ill accept it. Since honor shoiild be inherent in the individual student, it is hard to revise it. The Honor System is a solf-inposod system and maintaining it should be the individual's responsibility." It seems to be th..; general opinion th^ t the Honor System at Elon is good if the students will t;:ke tho responsibility to keep the honor in the system. If the Honor System is to function here at TJlon, wo as students must become aware that we are the system and it will function on"! y if v/o v/ant it to function. As one student stated concerning the taking of a tests "I'd like to think that during a test I can leave the testing area and go to the imion, or out in the hall, smoke a cigarctto, have a coke—without anyone thinking I am cheating or breaking the Honor Code." See you next month with another question. Meanwhile, what is YOUR , opinion of the Honor System at Elon College,’ and how much do you put into tho system yourself? RAMBLING AT RANDOM Rambling around tho Oakland paths Elon is really swinging out this year with the big-time entertainment. How about the cool artist named, "Juke Box"?.Wo hoar he may be the big draw until the Lettcrmen got here.... Bouquets to tho Community Relations Committee for Parents' Week-end. This was an enjoyable event for all, and after s.joing clean dorm rooms, the parents certainly got a more realistic picture of campus life with the l_o-n-g hungry line in the cafeteria. It's a good thing thct all tho people and noise sent out little cafet..ria "mascots" back into their hiding places ...... Opinion seems to be fa.vorable for tho Speaker of tho Student Senrte, Lynn Ryols, this year. He reportedly handles the meetings quite well, but then small meetings may bo easy to handle. If things keep going, maybe wo will have to pass a bill legalizing absentee ballots in order to legislate anything Jim Buie's bill- concerning the payment of SG fees is another "fine" thing.....
