A George Ragsdale, Men's Honor . Council chairman, said more students probably are involved in the investigation "than have ever been involved in any case of which student government was cognizant." - Meanwhile, officials here refused to identify the "ex-student" who" allegedly produced and sold authentic-looking" class excuses for two dollars each. It was learned, however,, that he had dropped out of school before the Honor Council investigation began. - All Ragsdale would say about-1 the "ex-student" was: "An ex-student of the Univers ity, whose name is not and will not be disclosed by the Men's Council, .has admitted - that he manufactured and sold false ex cuses to members of the student body. . '. "He immediately told the truth when confronted and is cooperat ing with the Men's Council at the present time. 1 Rubber Stamp " Ragsdale . said the "ex-student' had secured hundreds of blank excuses similar to those used by the University, and employed rubber stamp identical to that Used in Hanes Hall "to mark on the blanks the tinie "for which a student was fo be excused. The system involved not only the fraudulent excuses them selves, he said, but also the forg ing of names in Hanes Hall and the infirmary as sources by which the excuses allegedly were grant ed. Broad Effects The investigation and disclosure of persens involved was expect ed to have broad effects at the University. Sam Magill. director ( continue to support fundamental re of student activities, said some search and fellowships, persons may lose credit in courses I where the falsified excuses were used. "I would think that such a per son (a General College student already' with three cuts before using one of the excuses) would be in danger of being dropped with an 4F" he said. Magill said that action against students in the upper college by the faculty "would depend upon the school involved." Upper col- lege schools have varying regu lations about class attendance. No Legal Action Yet The director of student ac tivft'es also said that no legal action against the "ex-student" (See CASE, page 3) ' Divulge UNC Grant Will Boost Teaching The University of North Carolina was among some 13d colleges and universities sharing a $1,150,000 grant made Thursday by the Du Pont Company, it was learned yes terday. , The University will receive a 31-ant of $2,400 for education oJ a scientist or engineer plus an "award of $300 to the University Jiad oav- - - - nent or tuition and fees for a post- 1 auudic icrciiiii2i& xSJdiifiiAiJj iu chemistry.
