"There is no honor system at Guil
ford." Thus spoke one professor when
approached by a Guilfordian reporter
011 the question, "Does the honor sys

student responsibility. In fact, lie wns
extremely reluctant to express his
views, as were the other professors,

plan were made, the whole school would
have to agree 011 it in open forum. The
responsibility could rest with either
the student councils or a specialty
organized honor court," he finished up.

prophecy of a certain professor who
said if each individual's responsibility
is not shouldered "in the not too dis
