CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA 233 Sign100Sn PledgeAt V spr UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA Volume SSIX, No. 18 OOLUMBIA, S. Q., FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1938 Faculty To A Revive4 FOUR CHANGES RECOMMENDE At Meeting In Chap Amendments Proposed By Signc Of Pledge To Forestall Cheating Proposing four rules to help 1 students in their drive to enforce i honor system, the faculty committ called a meeting of all signers of t new pledge Monday, and present their recommendations to the s dents. The four changes, as outlined Professod Ball, chairman of the ft ulty committee, are that professc stay in the rooms during exams, tI a vacant seat be between each st dent when possible, that the Bl Book system be adopted, and that o one student at a time be allowed leave an exam. Eliminate Temptations "The faculty is anxious to lea everything to the students," Dr. B declared, "as soon as things are f on a working basis. We all know t1 the plan so far is entirely experiment The faculty is simply trying to eli: nate all temptation possible until 1 majority of students have signed 1 pledge, after which the sttdent bo may take over the whole thing." Commenting on the Blue Book s3 tem, Professor J. K. Roberts of 1 University of Virginia stated that ti had been used there for years, havi been found advantageous to the s dents as well as the faculty. "The students demanded the BI Books," Professor Roberts declar "We do not look upon them as a precaution against cheating, but mer as the most convenient method standing exams. They are kept file for a year, and more than on have served to end arguments o, grades that arose between studei and faculty members. The hon pledge is written on the back of ea book, with a space for the studen name. Nothing could be more si pIe or more convenient." Students Congratulated Dr. Baker congratulated the s. dents on the move they had takc commenting that even though th actions in reporting cheaters would frowned on by some, they would supported by the leading group men and women on the campus. "T culture and tone of any communit; the president declared "are determin by the leaders, not the mass of peopli Colonel McKissick told the gathe ing that he believed the move to "the most hopeful thing that has ha pened at the University in many year As only one hour was allotted to t meeting, students were not given tit to offer any comment, except for suggestion that all professors perr smoking during exams if only one sI dent were allowed to leave at a tin Professor Ball stated that all su details would be left to the joint f: ulty and student committee, and i: plored the students who signed t pledge to take up the changes at th 'next meeting.

The judges shall not ve be residents of the city of Columbia. all The Beauty Pageant shall be held the ut second Thursday in April and the iat names of the participants shall not at. be published in the newspapers until i- after the pageant." lie Leading in the discussion against ne the proposed amendment was James P. dy Mozingo, III, who contended that the names of the participants in the rs- pageant should be published. Gedney he Howe, on the other hand, argued that ey the names should be kept a secret n1 so that the judges would not be aware U- of the participants before the time of the pageant. ue Before the amendment was tabled, -d. an amendment to the amendment had ny been passed whereby the pictures of ly the three winners in the pageant would or be published in the papers the day be Oil fore election. Cc Now that the amendment has failed, er the beauty pageant will be carried on its in the future just as it has been in the or past, unless the student body takes ch further action. The president of the t's University will select the judges, who will choose three winners at a beauty pageant to be held three (lays before election of the May queen. The two u- losing candidates in the final race will - act as iaids of honor in the annual ,ir May queen coronation, which will take be place the first of May. be At the end of the meeting a mo- r o0 tion was made to put the parlianien he tary clincher on the proposed amend- 1 ment, but the motion was ruled out ed of order since a motion to adjourn had already been made and seconded. --- . . be p ie Ticker Tape ne By TRIBBLE ist u- r thsteParadox' le 'o hsteperfect night: a mioon chi less, cloud-swept sky, c- Old wine, soft music, candlelight, and you and I lie Alone at last. ~ir Now comes the rain....

He ad vanced the opinion that if subsida tion of athletics were necessary it ;hould be done openly, in the form of ome kind of athletic scholarships. He also said that college courses hould be provided for the football )layer which would best suit, his in :lination and ability. After Mr. Logan's talk a discussion of the general foot!'all situation took place.
