At the last regular weekly meet ing of the orientation teaChers, on Sunday, July 25, Charles Knowlton, chairman of the student honor council, explained the workings of the honor principal. He stated that the present plan providing for a self-perpetuating honor board of student members, which elects members of the honor council, has given stability to this phase of student government since the plan Was ifstituted two years ago. Here. lie emphasized that the honor coun cil serves as a trial jury to handle cases, whereas the honor board functions as a governing body and as a means of liaison with both stu dents'and faculty. "Each case is handled on its merits and punishments varying ac cording to the judgment of the council," said Knowlton.
