Student leaders and compan,
Naval Pre-light School met to
cause<l by difI'erences between fl)
enm1plis Mon<day at 5 p. mY. An
group t(hiitted its share of ir
against the other.
Dan Ellis, returing student body 4
president, anld Bill Jones, rising
student body president, headed the
civilian student group which in
cluded Othniel Wienges, Bill Nich
olson, Buddy Black, Tom Steven
son, Bill McMillan. Fred Snoddy,
Pete Jumper, and Harvey DuBose,
R. G. Bell, YINICA Secretary, pre
sided.
Each group pledged its friendship
for the other atnd promised to re
quest the support of its constitueni
cy in establishing amicable re
lations bhetween the two.
Cadence counting by the Pre
flighters was outlawed and it was
further suggested that picnics and
other activities in which the Naval
Pre-flight students could participate
in, company with Carolina students
be promoted and enicouraged.
Tension between the two groups
of students reached a climax on
last Thursday night after the black
out, as regular student 'ongre
gated in noisy confusion in front of
the sleeping quarters occupied by
the Naval cadets. The . uproar
wakened Univer.itv President J.
Rion McKissick who askel that a
truce be held while the differences
between the students were settled
by a confercnce of leaders from both
groups. Monday's meeting and its
outcome resulted from this truce.
Honor C
Publishe
Four case histories of actions be
fore the student honor council, a
cross section of cases appearing be
fore the group this year, are pub
lished here to give the students a
clearer picture of how cases are
handled by the council. Names
and specific details are withheld to
protect the students involved in the
case.
Investigation of each case is
painstakingly thorough, the report
shows, as specialists are called in
to give testimony or technical in
formation in the rnore difficult
cases.
The honor council has jturisdic
tion not only in cases involving
cheating on quizzes and examina
tions but in all cases of dishonor
including forgery, had checks, steal
ing, and fraudulent parallel reports.
Th'le sample cases are:
1. X, a junior, was seen by three
Witnesses to cop)y fromi history hook
and notes on several quizzes. The
litonor Council suspended X for
two semesters.
2. The council received reports
that mnerous violations were oc
curring in several freshmuanu classes.
Council nmembers appeared before
the classes to explain the workings
of the principle and warni the
freshmen as to'the consequences
S of such practices.
3. A was suspended for cheat
ing earlier in his college career.
IHe served his suspension and re
turned to finish college. He pe
titioned the council to remove the
notation from his permanent rec
ord and transcript. A's request was
denied. Such notations can never
*be removed from a student's record.

Of YM, YW Leaders
Visiting the 'niversity Y.\ICA
Tuesday was Henry Ware, secre
tary of the southern regional staff
of the association.
Ware' met with the individual
members of the local Y cabinet to
discuss their respective jobs. and to
help them plan in what wave thev
could tie in their duties with the
national association program.
At a joint meeting of the YWCA
YNfCA cabinets for luncheon, \\are
spoke to the group abont the new
emiphasis being pushed this spring
by tile national associations-that
of cooperating in every way pos
sible to aid in the religions life of
the military contingents, stationed
Oil college cal)lses.
\Vare also uri:ed the students to
remember their two-iold part in be
ing responsible Y members. He
said, "We must keep our eyes oil
what we are doing and work like
the mischief for victory. This is
the near vision. Bit we must also
have the far vision. We must look
ahead at tihe problems that will
come."'
In speaking of the cooperation
bet ween regular students. anld mili

mlented the I'niv ereite hovys for the
result of the recetnt mleeting held at

The board also made a provision,
that if any of the naval contingents
which will be on the campuits during
the summer semester wished to pay
the student fee entitling thlem to
thle Gamecock, an associate editor
was to be elected to handle news
from that group.
The usual staff setup, of one edl
Itor, and oneC managing editor, was
changed this time by the staff, for
two reasons, according to a letter
sent to the board of publications,
from the editor; one, the overload
ing of work many students are
carrying would make it impossible
for two to do the work; two, be

Unique Feature
One unique feature of the day,
suggested by Dr. Havilah Babcock,
and taken up gleefully by the stu

Deat Chase. it will be John A.
The faculty members were told
of this suggestion at a rerent mopt.
ing, and according to Miss Flinn,
the suggestion was answered only
by chuckles and laughter. So, she
said, the committee took this as a
sign of acceptance, and gave the
students a go-ahead signal. "Howy
ever, 'she warned.' those who have
their forbidding professors, should
take the liberty only at their own
discretion.*
Baseball Match
Main feature of the early after
noon will- be th. haseball match be
