Hoy, G Clarios Council Says ExcusesFalse False Excuses Are Violation Of Honor Code All cases of false excuses for ab sence from classes in the future will be handled by the Honor Council in stead of the Discipline Committee. Andy Marion, chairman announced this week. This matter was discussed at length at the last meeting of the Honor Council. At the conclusion, it was decided to publicly denounce "such dishonorable conduct as a definite breach of the Honor Principle," The Council took cognizant of the fact that such practices have existed far more than they should have un der our Honor System." Andy Marion, president of the Council, made the following state ment: "We feel it is time for defi nite action to be taken to end such activities. Unexcused cuts, together with the excused cuts allowed by the University, should amply cover all occasions for absence from class." A student found guilty of submit ting a false excuse will be penalized by being dropped from the class or suspended from the University by the Council.

Carolina R 11, 1938 n Exc ;cussions Students Pill Chapel For Series Of Talks Before an audience of students and t faculty members who filled all the available seats and crowded the back part of tlhe chapel, Mrs. Mildred I. Morgan brought her series of talks to a close Tuesday night with an open discussion of problems and pat terns of dating. Using questions written to her by students as the basis of her talk, Mrs. t Morgan alternately regaled the au- I dience with her witty remarks or quieted them with serious advice. In all of her forn)al addresses, Mrs. Morgan spoke to a full house, and at the last of her talks many Colum bians were seen in the audience. Considering some of the major problems faced by young men and women of today, Mrs. Morgan said that students at the University had an almost uneqnnled opportunity to get together with members of the oppo site sex and discuss difficulties. 4 31se also added that the University had a better balance between men and women than most schools in the East. There is a fine opportunity at Carolina to co-educate people rather than simply submit them to the same courses and professors, she said. In order to stimulate further thought on the subject of Men-Wom en relations, Mrs. Morgan recom mended Brukhart's "From Friend ship to Marriage," and Nelson's "Working Wives." Because she wanted to be near her husband, and because she had taken graduate work in Child Psychology and Development, Mrs. Morgan, be gan her lecture series on "Marriage, Dating, and Girl and Boy Relations," wflch takes her to many schools and colleges all over the country.

Senator Byrnes had previously ac cepted an invitation to address the student body in front of the War Me morial during chapel hour today. On account of the American Legion Arm istice day exercises in front of the state house at the same hour, Sena tor Byrnes was notified that the chapel meeting had been postponed ( until noon.
