Honor Council
Explains
Procedure
by Bonnie Bugnar. Honor Council
Chair
**I do solemnly pledge my honor that as
long as I am a student at Meredith College,
1 will faithfully uphold the principles of the
Honor System and will respect and observe .
its requirements. . Many of you may
remember repeating ttiis pledge as you stood
with lighted candle beside your new-fouod
classmates and fiiends at your Freshman
Honor Code Ceremony. Upon signing this
pledge, you took your iiDal step in becoming
a memb^oftheMereditti Community. For
majority of you, this may seem lite your
last confrontation with the Honor Code.
However, during your time at Meredith, you
have no doubt enjoyed the benefits of this
system - take-home tests, no meal cards, etc.
The backbone of this relationship of trust is
your cc»nmitment to the Honor code and the
personal integrity which it requires.
We, OQ the Honor Council and on yoiu*
Student Government Association, realize
that the last contact most of you have had
with the Honor Council was during Fresh
man Orientation. We recognize that many
Meredith students are unfamiliar with the
council, and we believe it would be benefi
cial to reinform you about its members and
proceedings.
The Honor Council makes up one of the
three branches of the Smdent Government
Association. The council is responsible for
protecting the rights and priviledges of the
majority of the Meredith students from the
abuses of a few.
The proceedings of the Honor Coimcil
actually begin when an infraction of the
Honor Code has occured, and a student is
reported or reports herself to the Solicitor
General. It is the duty of the Solicitor
General to represent Meredith and her stu
dent body. She will determine if there is
enough evidence to suggest that the student
is in violation of the Honor Code as it is set
forth in the Student Handbook.
All Honor Council hearings are scheduled

Seniors Take Superbowl, 12-0
hy Hannah Simnqfs
On Monday, October 21, the teams from Third
Barefoot and Third Stringfield squared off in a very
)4iysical battle to detomine >^ch team would be the
superbowl champs of this year’s intermural flag
football, sponsored by Meredith Recreation Asso-
ciatixi.
The first score of the game came mid-way through
the first-half when senior Laura Watts ran the ball in
for a toucbdo\\n; however, the two point conversion
failed. But the freshmen came back tough and
enthusiastic (m offense. Third Stringfield was on the
verge of scxing with a touchdown pass when senior
Laura Watts jumped in for the interception. The
seniors continued their march down field, threaten
ing to score again. However, the defense of Third
Stringfield hung on, and Laura Watts was unable to
hold on to the touchdown pass fiom Martha Inscore.
Third Stringfield thentook the first timeout of the
game to plan the strategy for their final march down
fieki befisTB the half. The almost completed
a successful drive, but the final pass into the endzone
to Lynn Langdon was broken up by senior Martha
Inscore.
After a ten minute break, the second-half began
with the seniore kicking off to the freshmen. About
four minutes into the half, the seniors struck again.
Laura Watts rushed the ball in for the touchdown,
widening the point margin between the seniors and
freshmen to 12-0. But Third Stringfield cmtin-
ued to play hard. However, senior Mia Matthews
made an important interception. With about two
minutes remaining in die game, the seniors almost
converted again, but Martha Inscore’s pass wi
dropped. However, Third Stringfield kept up tl
intensity. The next play, a pass by senior l^iu
Watts,was deflected and intercepted by Thii
Stringfield. The pass was almost nin back for
touchdown and bmtally stopped by the seniors. E
this point the seniors and their fans knew they wei
to win, and with the last tick of Ae clock, the senio
of Third Barefoot had won the 1991-92 Superbov
with a score of 12-0.
Even though the Superbow] had been schedule
for last week in conjunction with picnic provided I
ARA, Kitty Pate, president of MRA, still felt that tl
Stq)erbowl was a success. She realized that since la
week’s rainy weather fcvced the game to be reschei
uled, the attedance would be lower than desire>
However, she felt that “it mrned out well beau.*
there was a lot of spirit shown by both teams but i
a positive a^>ect” Pate also went on to complimei
Rhonda Herman, Sled Shelhorse, and Cryst
Strickland, the MRA hitermural Coordinators, c
the excellent work in putting all of the games at
events together.
Thus, the classic confrontation of Ae Superbowl
over, and it is only fitting that Third Barefoot (tf
only senior hall to field a team) are champions of th
year’s superbowl. But the fiiture intermural con
petitors of this year had better look out for TTiu
Stringfield, for they are enthusiastic, tough, con
petitive and ready to win!
