Student interest generated by the suspension of Doug Moe from school has intensified to the point that several, professors have reported entire class periods taken up with discussions of the honor system at Carolina. Some teachers, have even been approached in hallways and on the. campus for opinions on the system. A number of questions on specific issues have been raised by students concerning the Moe case: (1) What exactly did the honor council's verdict of not guilty mean? " (2) Why was not the second case of Moe's lying turned over to the honor council also? (3) Why did the Chancellor take the action that he did? (4) What is the future of the honor system at Carolina? George Campbell, chairman of the men's honor council, explained their verdict of not guilty, "We could not convict Moe for not turning Brown in unless we had already convicted Brown for the attempted bribery." However, a number of students have voiced the opinion Algerian Coupon Sale Raises $289 For Refugees The Pan-Hellenic Council and Inter-Fraternity Council to gether raised $289 in a recently concluded campaign to help pay expenses of Algerian refugee students.

Strategic Air Command bases here went on strike Wed nesday until midnight tonight to demand speedier American withdrawal. The United States has agreed to give up the bases by the end of 1963. uture Of University Pa rent Further Isolatio: Of Cuba Expected WASHINGTON (UPI) The Kennedy administra tion is expected to pursue in the future a new Cuba policy aimed at quarantining the Fidel Castro regime and strengthening Democratic government in the rest of Latin America, it was learned Saturday. This line of reasoning is emerging among top offi cials reviewing the failure of the Cuban invasion attempt and its impact on U.S. prestige. I told United Press International that President Kennedy was "more convinced than ever" that the most positive policy would be. to redouble support for Latin America's battle,, against, pov erty and illiteracy which create conditions that allow Castroism or Communism to develop. Bolster Social Development The President was reported to be bolstering his "Alliance for Progress" plan for social devel opment with several large-scale bilateral arrangements to help Brazil, Venezuela and Bolivia to overcome pressing financial di--.culties. He also has instructed the U.S. delegation to the Organiza tion of American States (OAS) to ask for a high-level confer ence on July 15 to draft long range economic and social de velopment plans. Outstanding Chapter ', - J-y r- yxih:y ' '' "1 5 ytmyy-:;mmyy -. ' -h i 4 OUTSTANDING CHAPTER D. Elwood Clinard, North Carolina-South Carolina District governor of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, presents the Governor's Cup for the outstanding chapter to Henry Absher, president of the Carolina chapter of Sig Ep. The 1961 presentation was made at the recent Sig Ep ball in Winston-Salem. The Honoi that the council should have not taken the case or should have ruled mistrial, nol pressed, or waited until Brown's case was settled. Chancellor William B. Aycock stated that he had no comment on criticism on the verdict. Aycock has given two reasons why he ruled on Moe's lying personally instead of giving it to the council: (a) only he knew all of the facts and (b) that Moe might not have ad mitted that he lied to the council. Some students stated they felt if Aycock had turned the case over to the council and the council had ruled not guilty the whole university as well as the Chancellor would have received unfavorable public reaction. "There was no doubt in my mind that Moe was guilty of lying and I personally decided to rule on that case. I accept all responsibility for my action," said Aycock. Other students have indicated that they felt both cases should have been turned over to the council, either separately or in one case. One senior said, "If you want to live by the rules, you got to play by the rules. The honor council should have complete and defined authority." At any rate, there is unusual student interest in the case and in the controversy of evaluating the present honor system. The only question that remains and is being discussed from Leno;r Hall to Harry's is: What is the future of the honor system at Carolina?
