Legislature Grants
Council Bill
Amended Prior
To Passage
Holdovers To Stay
Until Spring
By Jerry Davidoff
Lacking three votes of a unanimous
decision, the Student Legislature
passed, on Thursday night, a bill to
amend the Constitution so as to pro
vide for the election of members of
the Men's Honor Council. However,
the bill was not in the form that was
presented in the Tar Heel in Tuesday's
issue. ,
After the Legislature had gone into
a Committee of the Whole and many
opinions had been heard on the origi
nal bill, Idrienne Levy of the law
school presented amendments to three
of the articles of the bill. These
amendments which were passed pro
vide for a 15 man Council, six of
whose members shall be elected by
the campus in November in the ratio
of one Marine, two V-12, one ROTC,
and two civilian, and further provides
that the other six members shall be
elected by the Council from its present
membership, and that these six hold
over members shall hold office until
the. spring elections of 1945, at which
time the six positions will become open
for campus election.
" The ratio of the holdover members
will be the same as the ratio of mem
bers elected in November. Council
members shall hold office for one year
from the date of their election whether
they be elected in May or. November.
This was done so that at no time
would the Council consist of inexperi
enced members. An amendment also
provided for a freshman member of
the council and two upper class mem
bers in the civilian contingent, and
also that in the military group one
trimester's residence was a require
ment for membership. The last amend
ment was presented by John Morgan.
As the situation stands now, six
members of the Council will be elected
in November.
The Legislature also passed an
amendment to the Elections Bill,
which permits candidates to have
printing done outside of Chapel Hill.
The limit of expenditures of candi
dates is $12.50 for Student Body Pres
ident, Legislature Speaker, Tar Heel
Editor, Yack Editor and Carolina Mag
Editor, and a limit of $5.00 on all
other candidates.
Allan Pannell, Emily Aliteron and
Thomas Slaton were chosen holdover
members of the Legislature.
The Student Council's recommenda
tions of John H. Booth, an undergrad
uate, and Robert L. Gavin, a law stu
dent, as replacement members of the
Student Council were confirmed by the
Legislature.
The three legislators voting against
the Student Council election bill were
Representatives Allen, ROTC; Mai
lard, V-12; and Cathy, Kenan dorm.

Veterans of World War II
Plan Organization At Meet
Veterans of World War II enrolled
here at the University held their first
group meeting on Wednesday evening,
October 4, in the Horace Williams
lounge of Graham Memorial and dis
cussed the possibility of setting up a
permanent organization at Chapel
Hill.
Of the 65 medically discharged vete
rans now enrolled here, 40 attended the
meeting including some students who
had attended the school prior to the
passage of the GI bill which provides
for payment of tuition and mainte
nance during the period of one year.
Motions to appoint committees to
draw charters or constitutions and mo
tions for election of officers were voted
down when the men pointed out that
they had met for the first time that
evening and did not feel prepared to
commit themselves so quickly. They
further stated that they hesitated to
commit the men who would come after
them at Carolina without considering
seriously their obligations and their
good.
The men present introduced them
selves individually by name and divi
sion, but each omitted length of ser
vice, place of duty andrank.
""The veterans were welcomed by ad
ministrative officials Dean R. B. House,
Dean F. F. Bradshaw, Dr. Guy Phil
lins. Mr. W. H. Plemmons, Dean E. L
Mackie, Mr. Ed Lanier, Dr. Perry and
Mr. J. A. Williams who attended the
informally. Further action
was postponed for one week to allow
the men to discuss further the kind of
organization needed and its purpose,
meanwhile it was accepted as a fact
that they would start some kind of
veteran group at Chapel Hill.

WPTF To Carry
Broadcast Talk
From Memorial
It will be the night of nights for the
Democrats tonight when Senator Lis
ter Hill, Alabama New Dealer, delivers
a political address in Memorial Hall at
7:30 under the auspices of the Carolina
Political union.
Time for the speech was shifted
from 8 p. m., as originally announced,
in order that it may be broadcast oyer
radio station WPTF, Jimmy Wallace,
CPU chairman, explained.
Hill will be introduced by ex-am
bassador to Mexico and now editor of
the Raleigh News and Observer, Jose
phus Daniels. Topic of the talk will be
"Roosevelt Should Be Re-elected" and
will be concluded with a question-and-answer
session.
A banquet in honor of the speaker
will be held at the Carolina Inn at 6
p. m. to which members of the CPU
and University military and civilian
administrative officials have been in
vited. A reception at Graham Memor
ial, open to everyone, will follow the
address.
Democratic Whip in the Senate and
New Deal spearhead in the South, Hill
has recently been in the national lime
light for his , sponsorship, along with
Senators Ball, Burton and Hatch, of
the "B2H2" Resolution for the preser
vation of world peace through inter-
national cooperation.
Prophet of the present war, Hill has
been consistent in his farsightedness
and perserverence in battling for total
militarv nrenaration loner before Pearl
Harbor. A friend of Billy Mitchell, he
strove to place air power in a dominant
position in the American war machine
and came to blows with North Caro
lina's Bob Reynolds, who, following a
tour of Europe, predicted conclusively
that there would be no war.
Hill is particularly fitted to speak
on Roosevelt, having worked closely
with him since his accession to the
presidency, and having been the one
to nominate him in 1940 for a tradi
tion-shattering third term.
After graduating from the Univer
sity of Alabama with a Phi Beta Kappa
key, an A.B., as well as a Law degree
all in the space of four years instead
of the usual six he went to the Co
lumbia University law school to re
ceive a second LL.B. degree. He re
turned to Montgomery soon after to
become the youngest school board presi
dent in the country. He was then 22.
He emerged from the last war as a
First Lieutenant, and four years later
began his political career with his elec
tion to the House of Representatives
to fill out an unexpired term. While a
congressman he put to use much of his
military knowledge and experience as
chairman of the military affairs com
mittee.
Dubbed by national publications as
The Patron Saint of TV A" and "The
Pre-Roosevelt New-Dealer," Hill's
twice-occupied office as "Whip" in the
upper house is one which his constitu
ents say requires "tact, patience, good
humor and unfailing courtesy," and as
such he is acting majority leader in
Barkley's absence. 1
Rushing Nets
Since the beginning of the fall rush
period on Friday, September 29, the
various Greek-letter social fraterni-
ies on the campus have pledged a to
tal of 90 men according to an official
ist released by Dean E. L. MackTe.
It was pointed out that 81 of these
men were officially pledged on last
Tuesday, October 3, which was the
first day of official pledging, and the
names of nine other men have been
added since that time.
When questioned in regard to a
number of rumors concerning alleged
violations of rushing rules, Gid Gil-
iam, president of the interfraternity
council, stated that no official infor

Honor System
Is Clarified
By Committee
Administration
Approves Form
University administrators, navy
heads and student council representa
tives as a result of a meeting held in
September, have drawn up a form
which is intended to explain the pro
cedure of both faculty members and
students on examinations.
The explanation of the conduct on
examinations conforms generally to the
honor code plan of civilian Carolina.
The explanation was made in an at
tempt to make it clear to all students,
whether they be navy or civilian, that
the honor system is to function as such.
Both the navy and civilian adminis
trations on campus have approved the
plan and it awaits faculty scrutiny.
Captain Hazlett, Capt. Marshall, Lieut.
Hill, Lt, Comdr. A. W. Carroll, Dean
Mackie, and Dr. Wells were adminis
trative representatives and Turk New
some, Tom Hudson and Archie Hood
represented the student council in the
meeting held in September.
STATEMENT ON EXAMINATIONS
WITH RESPECT TO THE HONOR
SYSTEM
The practical success of the honor
system depends on the following:
1. General recognition of cheating
as a serious offense, not to be tolerated,
against society in general, against the
universrty, and against all students,
civilian and military.

wnoieneaneQ support is requireu.
3. The maintenance of conditions
conducive to effective examination, and
action to make opportunities for dis
honor difficult rather than easy.
4. Complete awareness of duties by
administration, faculty, and students
in the refusal to ignore cheating when
it occurs.
5. Prompt and severe punishment
of any found guilty of cheating.
General recognition of cheating as a
serious offense. Point 1 need3 empha
sis upon the words "serious offense."
Honor system or no honor system,
cheating is the signature of dishonor.
Full explanation of the honor system.
Through meetings with members of the
student council and other old students,
students new to the campus will have
the honor system carefully explained
to them. At the beginning of each
term, Navy members of the student
council, in collaboration with members
of the Navy administration, will orient
Navy men new to the V-12 unit of the
university. Civilian members of the
student council, in collaboration with
members of the faculty executive com
mittee, will orient civilian students
new to the campus.
Through a general faculty meeting
at the beginnings of each term the
university administration will explain
the workings of the honor system to
new members of the faculty.
At least once and early in the term
the instructor will talk to each of his
classes briefly but seriously about the
honor system. He does this to reen
force the explanation of the student
council members and to make clear
that he understands the obligation of
his students and himself to make effec
tive both the prevention of, and, if
