C, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1932 Sentiment In Regard lo Change - In Honor System Greatly Varied ' ' : o General Impression Is That Honor System Is Not Being Adhered To, But That Proposed Change Would Not Effect Any Appreciable Increase in Efficiency. o By Don Shoemaker Influenced by no partisan opinion On the part of the re porter, it is herein endeavored to record the opinions of stu dents selected at. random from all classes and schools in an ef fort to analyze student opinion on the recently proposed revised honor system as introduced by the student council. This is the first of a series of commentary aiuaes omne new system ana the opinions of -any students, not 4-.I i.1 j , i I included in this introductory ar- tide are heartily solicited. The Daily Tar Heel is interested in printing both sides of. the issue in an effort to bring opinion pro and con to the front so that the system, when voted upon by the student body, may have had am ple discussion in both the class room and college press. Sophomore, Commerce:. "I be lieve that the old system is. shot to pieces from a standpoint of fairness to students who are de sirous of doing honest work on examinations and quizzes. The main virtue in the new system is that it would give the individual access to the student, council through his classroom honor committee, and would not re quire him to go before the stu dent council and accuse the indi vidual publicly." Junior, Liberal Arts: "If the student body is of the opinion COMER TALKS AT WEEKLY MEETING OF SOPH CABINET Proposed Changes in University Honor System Discussed by Second Year Men. Harry F.

I be lieve, however, that the f unda mental values of , the original system would- be brought home to the classroom as a group, by a committee, the presence of which would instill in the class a certain measure of respect for the old system." Senior, Commerce : "The new .system can not pe adopted in such a large school : as this, for I $ i ii it would fail as utterly as did .the old system. Theresponsi bility for carrying out honor must depend wholly upon . the personal integrity, of the indivi dual, for it is he who is mostNaf- x&wu uj vntawug aim., aiiaiiug,. Sophomore, Liberal Arts: " am of the opinion, and I am sure that a large portion of the stu dent body backs me up Jn this that the new system would en courage espionage, or to put. it crassly,, stool-pigeon practice. I agree that there is more cheat ing in the freshman and sopho more classes, though there is a noticeable decrease of it in the latter division.
