Campus Officers
A bill designed to establish a
permanent systematic means of
replacing vacancies occurring in
student government offices will
be considered by the student
legislature at its meeting to

or vacancies shall be filled tempo

Honor Council Decisions
Released by Bennett
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 1
Facts: A freshman was suspected of stealing by his room
mates. One morning one of the boys noticed that $10 was miss
ing from his wallet; he informed his two roommates of his loss.
They also said that money had been taken from them. Due to
certain conclusive evidence, it was obvious that one of three
boys had stolen it and not someone from the outside. After hav
ing all three of the boys up before the council and listening to
their testimony, one of the suspects admitted taking the money
after first lying for about an hour. It so happened that he got
up about five o'clock and took money from his roommates'
pockets and also from his own saying that he was in desperate
need of funds due to a loss in a poker game.
Decision and opinion: He was suspended indefinitely from
the University for violation of the honor code. This does not
mean that he can never re-enter the University; he, the council
thinks, will be considered favorably, when he petitions the coun
cil for readmission. This boy was a freshman and consequently
he was brought before the council at the beginning of school
and warned about lying, cheating, and stealing. The council is
of the sincere opinion that every me' er of the first year class
is well aware of the obligation he h4ll, "ftder the honor system.

from the Nazis, is expected to
"tell all" in his address to the

in Hill hall under the sponsership
of the International Relations
club.
As a result of his part, and
that of others like him, in organ

into a non-cooperative bloc
against the Germans, the schools
have been closed. Official Nazi
excuse for the act is fuel shor
tage, but actually, Land has ex
plained, it is because teachers
refuse to accept and teach Nazi
dogma. Last March, 1400 teach
ers were arrested and sent to pri

Carr dormitory will be turned
over by the University to the
Navy immediately, R. B. House,
dean of administration, an
nounced yesterday, and present
occupants must vacate it by Feb
ruary 15.
The decision to let the Pre
Flight school have the dormitory
was reached yesterday after it
was ascertained that priorities
would be granted for the con
struction of barracks-like dormi
tories to house at least the num
ber of students forced to move
from Carr.
The Navy had earlier put in a
request for the building because
of cramped facilities caused by
the transfer of the Naval V-5 in
doctrination school formerly lo
cated at the US Naval Academy
at Annapolis to Carolina. This
school, which is run in conjunc
tion with the Pre-Flight school,
trains many of the officers who
staff the various other Pre-Flight
schools throughout the nation
and any others who are assigned
as physical instructors to any
sort of Naval unit.
Students now residing in Carr
are being asked to move imme
diately to other dormitories and
fraternity houses as the building
must be vacated by Monday, Feb
