Merchant made this state ment in view of the fact that the second roll call has not been called for the past semester. According to him, the con stitution provides for such a roll. Anyone not answering will be counted absent, and after a certain number of absences will be automatically dropped from the rolls. "Since no one has abided by this provision the society has no members. Therefore, there is no society, hence no consti tution," Merchant contended. Merchant amid heckling from various members, spoke for an hour defending the second roll call nrovision of the on.+ltu. LAtN L Unit m Requires 5ignatures 'roctices To Be Left Up cience, Declares Gibbes nesday afternoon the University As of the present student honor eration of the Honor Principle at day by John A. Chase, Jr., dean of I he outstanding changes are the abolishing of the present honor code and the substitution of a system whereby every student is required to sign a pledge of his personal honor. This pledge takes the place of the old code signing which required that students report any dishonesty they witnessed. Honor council Chairman Dan Gibbes, Jr. said that the new system ten would form a broad student basis for the honor nrhirip!e at USC, and would leave the matter of reporting up to the individual itdent's conscience. The special meeting of the facul ty was called to consider the pro posal and the faculty voted its en dor.enent after an hour and a half of discussion. The operation of the Honor Prin ciple as proposed by the council is me1cluded below. 1. Every Carolina student shall he required to sign and uphold the -rlina Honor Priiciple upon ad mislsion to the University and every semester thereafter.

At times he became am biguous which brought the fol lowing comment from Harley Wooten: "If we have no members, no soctety, and no constitution therefore we have no second roll call. Then what are you defending? What do you sug gest that would remedy this ad verse situation?" Merchant could give no satis factory solution. During regular business ses sion of the meeting Venable Vermont moved that the Clari omophic appoint a committee who would act with a commit tee of the Euphradian to put on a joint chapel program to foster a menmbership drive and to create more interest in soci ety affairs.
