Page Two THE DAILY TAR HEEL THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1946 The Honor System... The following is anoher in a series of student government articles prepared by the Student Council explaining various aspects of Carolina's student government and campus code. The honor system is founded on the principle that responsi bility for ethical conduct rests within the student himself. This system depends upon the personal integrity of each student. It assumes that each student is a lady or a gentleman and will conduct herself or himself as such at all times. The system also depends upon each student insisting, by the means placed at his disposal, that all other students abode by the honor sys tem. The purpose of the honor system is threefold. First, it in sures the validity of our examinations. Secondly, it encour ages character building. Thirdly, it is necessary to the form of student self-government which prevails at Carolina. To deal with any problems concerning student conduct, there are established organizations known as the Women's Council and the Men's Council, composed of representatives elected from and by the Student Body. The duties of these bodies in clude receiving information concerning student misconduct and breaches of the honor system and the campus code, to judge this information, and to carry out, or else to recommend to the Dean and Faculty, appropriate disciplinary measures. Any breaches of the honor system or the campus code come under the jurisdiction of the two councils. It is to be under stood by the students and faculty that all such cases are to be handled directly through these councils. If there is any time in which a witness desires council action, the witness will write a note to the chairman of the appropriate council, stating that there exists a breach of the honor system or the campus code, which he wishes to present before the council. The witness will ' sign his name and seal the envelope and leave it in the ap propriate dean's office in South Building. The council chair man will then arrange a meeting and inform the witness of the time and place. The witness will then appear before the coun cil and present his evidence. The procedure of action by the councils consist of first re ceiving the evidence, evaluating it, and then if it deems it neces sary to hold a hearing on the violation, the accused is called before the council to present his side of the case. The council then considers the case, and decides on acquittal or on a penalty. All decisions of the councils are reached by vote and no penalty may be imposed unless there is a substantial majority vote. Meetings, information, names of the witnesses and of the accused, penalties, and proceedings of the councils are all strictly confidential. Revelation of any .of these items in whole or in part constitutes a breach of the honor system. ...And What It Means The above explanation of the organization of the honor sys tem on this campus is for the benefit of both old, and new stu dents, especially those who claim that they don't undersand or have never heard about Carolina's honor system Regardless of the amount of reading or talking done concern ing the honor system as it exists here, its success or failure de pends on one vital factor. This factor is individual student interest and participation in making the system work. No cases of cheating have been reported thus far this quarter. Yet individual students will confess that they have seen some one cheating by copying another person's paper, using a "pony," et cetera. The prevalent attitude that "if he wants to cheat, that's his business; he's only hurting himself" is all wrong. The violator may be harming the entire class in the long run, espe cially in cases where the instructor grades on a curve system. No pre-designated spies are assigned to watch for cheating in" the classrooms. As is stated above, success 6f the system depends upon the personal integrity of each student on the campus. It is the duty of each of us to report anyone we see cheating on an exam. Success or failure of the honor system is entirely up to the students concerned. As a matter of personal and school pride, as a matter of per sonal integrity and responsibility, as a matter of ethics and for better student government at the University, let's do away with the pessimistic unconcerned attitude and live our life here in strict accordance with the honor system. It will help to make for a better University. lxtM atlj Vfox Heel Behind the Flickers .... Paramount To Begin Fifth ( Road-Riot 9 Shooting Soon By Charlie Kaufmann ' Paramount once declared that no more road-riots would be filmed because the three biggest names on the lot would be tied up at the same time in one pic. "Utopia's" grosses made them groggy, so they reconsidered. Next is "Road to Rio," scheduled to get underway next month. Of course "oooh," "ugg," and "boinggg" will be starred. The big ones this summer were, in order: "Smoky" (Fox); "Two Sisters From Boston" (MGM) ; "A Stolen Life" (WB); and "Without Reser vations" (RKO). SIGHTS AND INSIGHTS: May I stand corrected?

In Dubious Battle By Jack Dube This one s on the Profs: It hap pened in Richmond P. Bond's English lit course. The class had done dis many on a quiz and the IToi was letting them have it. There was also a visitor a very bedraggled canine who lay among the seats, paws askew, listening to the tirade. "Furthermore," said Dr. Bond, "if anyone doesn't like what I'm saying, they can walk right out that door!" and the dos got up and slowly walked away ... Dr. Con nors informs his History class that the "Quonset .Castles" (as he de scribes them) came from the North Carolina Indians . . . The Psychology Dept. Questionnaire is very formal up to the last query which is "Are you Skiz or Manic? (Check only one)" see what we mean ... Ery that is Dept.: Dr. W. W. Wells goes back twelve years for this one to when he was teaching the fresh men. As he puts it, "I was very eager then almost as eager as I am to day." He was punctiliously calling roll and discovered two absentees, Jones and Brown. A minute later a very scrambled f rosh arrived puf fing heavily. "Jones?" inquired Wells. "Yup" . . puff . . puff then with a sudden activity a few moments later, "No, no, Brown!" ...

Kiss-Off Dept.: Credit Ralph Grimes for the one about the man holding the four aces in the strip-poker game. "I'll be seeing you," he said ... Washington Merry-Go-Round By Drew Pearson Washington Both the Army and Navy are squawking privately but vigorously to President Truman over his determination to balance the budget at their expense. Only way he can balance it is by chopping down Army-Navy expenditures. Anyone who looks over the budget sheet of the U. S. Government can see that that is where the big expenditures are. Most civilian agencies were cut to the bone during the war and f have continued that way. The Army Paris Peace Conference where he was introduced to the Czechoslovakian Foreign Minister, Jan Masaryk. "Oh, of course, I knew your fath er well," Connally said, and then stepped back and began imitating a man playing a violin. Masaryk was somewhat nonplus sed. "My dear sir," said Masaryk, "I am a Czech, not a Pole. And the father of his country whom you were thinking about was a pianist and not a violinist." Note Apparently Connally had confused Masaryk with Paderewski, the late famous Polish pianist and President of Poland. HOW TRUMAN COMMITTEE STARTED Probably only three or four people know how the original Truman Com mittee happened to be established. And since that Committee was re sponsible for putting Harry Truman in the White House, the inside story of its founding has historic interest. Senator Truman of Missouri was attending the inauguration of Gover nor Neely of West Virginia in 1940. At the inauguration, he met Senator Harley Kilgore of West Virginia, then a freshman Senator. At the Gov ernor's mansion at Charleston, they talked of Civil War history in which both always had been inteersted, in cluding the graft which followed the Civil War. "It's too bad Congress never got around to investigating the Civil War graft," Truman remarked. "As a matter of fact, it would be a good idea for Congress to investigate the graft in defense industries right now," suggested Kilgore. After some further discussion Truman announced that he was go ing right back to Washington to introduce a Senate resolution call ing for the creation of such an in vestigation committee. He did so and was immediately named Chairman. She forgot about similarity to Tier ney when Ty looked up, his eyes not a foot from hers. They carried her from the place in a paralyzed condition. and Navy, however, still are padded Therefore, Truman has already cut 2 billions from the Army and Navy, which brought howls of anguish from both. The Army maintained it needed all the $7,263,542,400 voted it by Con gress and the Navy said it needed all the $4,119,659,300 if they were to keep pace with Russia. Despite their howls, however, Tru man refused to budge on the two- billion cut. Furthermore, 'though it hasn't leaked out yet, he plans to cut another billion within the next few days or weeks. SAVING NAVY DOLLARS Suggestion to Navy Admirals: It may seem like chicken feed to some people, but if you want to save a few thousand dollars, take a look at the Naval Air School at Olathe, Kans., commanded by one of your own An napolis grads, Capt. W. M. Drane, Naval Academy '30. Captain Drane is now tearing down three enlisted men's barracks which cost $47,700 each to construct and which were only completed May 7, K)43, in order to use the lumber for quarters for himself, plus quarters for the base's execu tive officer. Meanwhile, houses for veterans are stymied for lack of lumber. Meanwhile also, Captain Drane is not too uncomfortable. He is living in the married officers' quarters consisting of 27 rooms, while the executive officer is living in the bachelor officers' quarters which consists of 13 rooms. Another saving the Navy might make would be to sell the twelve elec- ric refrigerators now idle at the Olathe air base. One has been loaned to Comdr. C. C. Clement for use in his private home. Veterans would be delighted to pay good money for these idle refrigerators. Another way to save money would be to curtail the interesting flights which Captain Drane makes to Clarksville, Tenn., which happens to be his home. On one trip a twin-engine Beechcraft with Lieut. Comdr. L. D. Macomber as pilot picked up his daughter and her girl friend and flew them back to Olathe, without entering either of the girls on the flight plan. Three thousand naval personnel have been transferred away from Olathe, with only about 400 men re maining. Yet no iurniture, equip ment, iceboxes or buildings have been declared surplus. All this may sound like chicken feed compared with the navy's tremendous wartime expenditures, but when you multiply possible economy at Olathe bv nossible economy at a hundred other stations, it runs into real dough. Note Another possible saving: Senator Kilgore at first was not named as a member of the commit tee since he was a freshman Sen ator. However, due to the fact that he had helped inspire the idea, Tru man wanted him to serve. There fore, he specifiically asked the President of the Senate to enlarge the Committee and name Kilgore. Intriguing fact is that Kilgore, who originally inspired the committee and served on it for six years, is now its chairman. MERRY-GO-ROUND Ilya Ehrenburg, the Moscow news man who, after a trip to Hollywood, has been telling the Russians about our "idiotic films," is the very same For a long time, Comdr. W. M.

COMPLETE LEASED WIRE SERVICE OF UNITED PRESS The opinions expressed by the columnists are their own and not neces sarily those of Th Daily Tar HeeL BILL WOESTENDIEK ROLAND GIDUZ IRWIN SMALLWOOD BILL SELJG Editor Managing Editor Sports Editor Dear Sir: As a new student here, it rather surprised me that such a renowned liberal university as the University of North Carolina should pay the workers at its laundry plant such low wages as to necessitate their working at other jobs in order to keep their families alive. Certainly it does not add to the orestiere of the University that its administrators should foster condi tions that disrupt family life and thus lead to the spread of disease and child delinquency. Most disappointing of all was the advertisement "In the Daily Tar Heel calling for student help, a call timed the day before the laundry workers themselves had called a meeting to discuss their, grievances. Sincerely, LEONARD BERNSTEIN. Slip-Up BURTON MYERS Business Manager Circulation Manager FOR THIS ISSUE Night Editor: Bill Sexton Sports: Irwin Smallwood Because suggestions at Carolina al ways are considered in some way or another, I'd like to get in on the act. I've, lived near the, University of Maryland for only eight years; I at tended that school for one year during the war. Naturally no one wanted to ''beat Maryland" any more than I did last Saturday. But I think we slipped up on a matter of courtesy we forgot to play their Alma Mater during the half time intermission. The Maryland University band hon ors every visiting team at the half by playing their fight song or Alma Ma ter, and the Maryland Athletic Asso ciation allows as many spectators as possible to move from behnid the goal posts into the visitors stands at the half so they can "get in the game. This is the way all the neighborhood kids who slip in get to be "kings for a day." But I ain't mad with nobody. Sincerely, MIKE LOFTUS A reminder for those who wander through the Arboretum: Know the proper season. Bag and baggage: Returning Caro lina coed. Bad check: A check riding around on a pogo stick. Profanity: Any conversation in which Duke is mentioned.
