A Student MY IDEA OF THE HONOR SYSTEM The honor system which we have here at Montreat-Anderson College is very practical and idealistic. Its purpose is to help us live harmoniously together while we are here in college and to prepare us for the situations which will confront us after we leave here to go elsewhere. It has played a great part in molding the lives of many of the students who have come here and are now holding positions of honor and dignity. The most important thing about the honor system is that it is based on the teachings of the Bible. It reveals to each student that he has a duty to be honest with God, himself, and his fellow man. When this idea goes to the fullest extent, a feeling of love, trust, and confidence is established among the students. It means a lot to anyone to know that people care for him and have trust and confi dence in him as an individual. The fulfilling of the requirements of the honor system is not always easy. Be ing honest with God and with one’s self is often a hard thing to do. When any one does this, he has to face reality and this sometimes means that he has to ad mit that he has failed or made a mistake, but he is able to see himself as he act ually is. It is then that he can begin to see that he needs to make effort for im provement toward being a better person. It also takes a lot of courage to single out a person who has done wrong and tell him about his failure or mistake and that he should report himself to the proper officials. After a person does this, he should be willing to help the person who has done wrong in any way that he possi bly can. Our honor system concerns every phase of our lives and provides a way for us to create a more wholesome life. We have to be honest at all times and in every situation in order for the principles of the honor system to be upheld. Our college seal has the words. Strength, Beauty, and Truth on it. These three words remind me of three big links of a chain which are joined together by many small ones. The small links are the people who make up the student body of our beloved school and who have the duty to work together to attain individually the characteristics of the words on the seal. It is the obligation of each of us to strive to be a strong link in this chain. Jimmy Byrd Eichman . . . Life or Death? The world is waiting with mixed emo^ tions for the trial and verdict concerning one Adolf Eichmann. a,i if Adolf Eichmann was by rank Adoii Hitler’s top man. Eichmann was assigne the inhuman duty of ridding Hungary o the Jewish race. He did this; yes, what unpardonable methods. Eichmann is responsible for the death of over 6,000,000 Jews. He murdered not on y Jewish men, but helpless women, children, and at times whole families together. His camp was Auschwitz, where he p an ned his “destructions”. Eichmann gas chambers, crematories, rifles, an starvation to fulfill his mission. A su vivor of Auschwitz says, “Eichmann seem ed proud of what he was doing”.
