Honor Code Wins Favor The 1lionor System at the Univer sity is (on the upgrade, according to a statement made by the Ilionor Coun cil Wednesday. A meeting of the Council was held Wednesday, and the conidittin of thte 1 lonor Syst em was dliscussed. A fter the mteet ing, Andy Marion, chairman, saidl that the Council was much en couragedl by reports from students and faculty. Voluntary statements have been received1 expressing the op)inlion that conditions this year are superior to those of the past several years. Marion also saidl that he believed our Ilionor System was better than that used in the majority of schools in this section. "We (do not pretendl," he wvent on to say, "that our system is absolutely perfect ;we realize that out of the 1.700 students attending the Uni versity there will be some who will be unwilling to cooperate with us. But we believe the system to be prac tical andt effective, andl we bielieve that it is favored by the majority of the stud(enIts rather than any type of proc tor system. "The Cotncil will always accept any advice or constructive criticism fronm any student. It wishes only to have julrisdliction over those matters wh Iich the students want it to assume." The Council is indebtedl to Miss -Petty Comstock for her cooperation in mimeographing examinations. Miss 1 lenrietta Bailey, who graduated from the University last year, also assisted with this work as representative of the Coumeil.
