Results 200 Infringements Of Honor Principle Noted By Students With tabulations nearly complete, the results of the campus-wide survey conducted last week by the Univer sity honor board were announced this week by Charlie Knowlton, board chairman. Out of the 4,000 questionnaires ex amined, five and one-half per cent reported having noticed violations of the honor principle while 942 per cent reported no violations seen. One half of the illegal acts were attributed to copying homework while giving or receiving aid on quizzes constituted one-fourth of them. There were only a few scattered observa tions of copying lab or parallel re ports and copying from textbooks or notes during quizzes, Knowlton said. With the exception of the school of commerce, which reported 88 viola tions of the honor principle, the num ber of reported dishonest acts were well-scattered over the various schools of the University he said. Students reported 200 infringements, the sec ond highest number, in the chemistry department. The majority of these occurred when students were seen copying laboratory reports, the ques tionnaires revealed. The questionnaires showed that only seven per cent of the students questioned do not have a clear un derstanding of what constitutes a violation of the honor principle. The honor board has made no plans as yet for explaining the principle to th.s minority of the students. With the majority of the violations appearing in freshman and sophomore classes, the honor board is now considering ways of orientating freshmen in the honor principle is being observed in ton. Another object of the survey is to inform each professor how well the Honor Principal is being observed in his classes, Knowlton said. Each professor has been or will see the re sults of the questionnaires. "I think that the survey is a fairly accurate, although not infallible," commented Knowlton. "The r!sults, with the possible exception of those from the school of commerce, can be considered good for a school as large as Carolina." He added that the honor board had made no plans con cerning further action on the matter.

Euphs Debate Man Power Problem Negative Winners Argue Against Drafting Labor Resolved: That manpower should be drafted for wartime industry was the subject of debate at the weekly meeting of the University Euphra dian iiterary society, Tuesday night. Morris Mazursky, Thurman Dun can, and Dan Brown composed the affirmative team. The negative team, winner of the debate, was composed of Isadore Bernstein, Calvin Mc Laughlin, and Raymond Swartz. The affirmative side pointed to the defects in the present manpower set up, citing these defects as reasons for acute manpower shortages in many areas. They proposed a three point plan for the drafting of man power: first, co-ordination of war in dustries; second, co-ordination of ag riculture and a war industry; third, a co-ordination board for equaliza tion of salaries according to the rise in the cost of living of the drafted workers. The negative side stated that it is entirely un-American to draft free labor, this being against a Constitu tional provision. They emphasized the fact that President Franklin D. Roosevelt is opposed to tihe policy of dIrafting manpowver. The negative teanm citedl the opinion of Willi:un L. Green, president of the AF of L that it would be foolish to use the mneth ods5 to winl the war that we are now fighting againlst.
