G-amecock Sponsors Vote
Chapel Period Tuesday And
Wednesday Set For
Balloting
Seeking to ascertain student opinion on
the willingness of students to take the
enforcement of the honor system into
their own hands, the Gauiccock will conduct
a poll .of students in the chapel periods
next Tuesday and Wednesday.
Students will be asked to answer the
question, "Would you he willing to take
to a duly constituted Ixxly in your class
section a case of cheating if you knew
that the offender would be definitely
punished under a system of fixed penalties?"
Voting will be by secret ballot.
?
The poll will be in the nature of a
straw vote. It is not limited to those
attending chapel and other students may
come to the polling place in the anteroom
of the chapel to vote if they so
desire. It was thought best to hold the
election at chapel period in order to get
a maximum number of students to express
their opinion.
Officials of- the Gauiccock feel that no
sufficient index of the willingness of the
students to take the honor system into
their own hands has been yet obtained
and hope that the poll will supply such
an index.

ROBBERIES DUE TO
MAN 1NBR0WN
An epidemic of robberies swept the
campus during the last week and University
authorities and local police arc
hunting for a mysterious stranger dressed
in brown who has been seen near the
scenes of the robberies.
The thief was caught in one occasion
but was released after handing over a
watch which he had just taken from the
room of Leroy Stroud, varsity football
center. Stroud was awakened Wednesday
morning by the tinkle of his
watch chain and saw the stranger just
going out of the door. He attempted to
follow but was barefooted and called
to Dean Fowblc and Jack 1'ord for assistance.
The two followed the thief
and finally ran him down but released
him after getting back the watch.

A swimming pool for the University
for whose construction University authorities
have been negotiating with the

approved, it was learned from au>
thoritativc sources yesterday. Construc1
tion oT the pool will begin as soon as
1 confirmation has been received from
Washington, the report continued.
The pool, which will cost $11,000, will
be housed in a building behind the Gymnasium,
according to an earlier report
' issued by Dr. L. T. Baker, president of
the University.
Dr. Maker in an interview Wednesday
said: "Negotiations for a swimI
ming pool, which have l>cen in the hands
of the I'ERA oflicials for some time,
are still being considered by that body,
and we are very hopeful of success."
Coniirmation of this report came from
one in an official position, who stated
p that it is almost a certainty that the
t University s petition will be granted.
lie added that the state division of the
- I* ERA is awaiting formal approval in
Washington, but that such approval is,
in his opinion, practically assured.
I he pool will be of the most modern
construction and design and will be
one of the largest in the state. Ample

Stanley Bryant "the most unique in the
annals of the C'lariosophic Society," the

new officers at its regular meeting Tuesday
night in Clariosophic Hall, after
initiating seven new members.
I be election was not previously an(

none of the members knew what
officers were to be elected. Consequently
in the opinion of Bryant, the political factions
would not have time to organize
behind their candidates.
