Bennett Gives r Of Honor Council's Work Editor's Note: The following report on Student Council cases and deci sions has been released by Council Chairman Bert Bennett in an effort to remind students of their obligations to the Honor System and to inform them of the way in which the Council works. CASE I Facts: A senior deliberately lied to his professor regarding an alleged absence. In this particular class pop quizzes were given; if a student were absent no grade was recorded, but if he were present and did not take the quiz he was given a zero. This senior was present and failed to hand in a paper when the teacher gave a pop quiz. At a later date he told the teacher that he was not present on the day that the quiz had been given. Two other students testified to the contrary. After he appeared before the student council he admitted that he had been there and stated he just wanted to attend the class for the purpose of taking notes but didn't want to take the test. Decision and Opinion: This student was placed on University conduct probation and failed on the course. The council has re iterated on many occasions that it can not tolerate lying. If there is one thing that breaks down the sDirit and morale of th honor system, it is lying. CASE II Facts: A freshman was suspected of violating th honor sys tem by two other students in his that said freshman had copied occasions. When he was brought See BENNETT, page 4 . V TV U On Brines, and Circulation: 8841 CHAPEL HILL, Governor Asks Pay Increase For Teachers Educational Plan Will Be Stronger By Randolph Hancock RALEIGH, Jan. 7 (UP) Gov. J. M. Broughton today asked the 1943 General Assembly for sweeping executive war pow ers, urged establishment of a post-war reserve fund of $20, 000,000, and told the legislators that "in spite of emergencies, wars and hardships" the state's program of public education must go on. The governor's annual mes sage was delivered to a joint ses sion of the assembly in the House chamber at noon. Chief among his recommenda tions for the state's educational program were an optional state wide nine-month school term, an increase in pay for teachers, state enforcement of compulsory school attendance, and raising the age limit from 14 to 16 years. "We shall not make any edu cational retreat in North Caro lina," Broughton said. Broughton asked that not less than $20,000,000 of the general fund surplus now existing or ac cruing during the current fiscal year be appropriated and set aside as a post-war reserve fund ; that provisions further be made for him and the council of state during the next biennium to invest in state and government securities any accruing surplus which - will manifestly-' exceed the requirements of the appropri ations made for such period." After setting up the post-war reserve fund, he said, "there will in my judgment be ample funds . . to meet all the reasonable needs of our state agencies, in stitutions, colleges, universities and public schools." The very conditions which! have contributed to our unprece dentedly favorable financial con dition have at the same time greatly increased the cost of liv ing and created genuine hard ship on the part of the public school teachers, including teach ers in colleges and universities and the employees of the state. "Therefore, as a matter of eco nomic justice and fair dealing with these faithful teachers and employees, I recommend reason ably substantial increases or See GOVERNOR, page 4 More Cases class.

Jones was born in Harnett county, about 3 miles from Is lington, a small country village near Sanford. When he was six years old his mother died. His father was a railroad worker and seldom got home, so Mr. W. O. Stevens, a white man, agreed to care for Nathaniel, providing the father would relinquish all claims to him. The father aerreed and Nathaniel lived with Stevens un til he was 20. During this time Jones worked each afternoon after school in the cotton patch, but left school in the 8th grade to devote full time to his farming. In 1916, Jones moved to Chapel Hill and immediately began work with the University, starting at the power house. Since then he has worked at practically every department on the campus.
