First let us take the Honor Board. It con sists of 14 ;tudents, four men and two women representatives from the senior class, four men and two women from the junior class, and one man and one woman from the sophomore etass. These members serve from the time of election through their senior year. The Honor Council is elected from this board. The main purpose of the Honor Board is to determine the policy of the Honor Principle. The Honor Council is composed of sesen students and three nont-iotiig faculty mem bers. The students are three men and one woman from the senior class. and one man and one woman from the junior class. Decisions of the Honor Council in all cases of honor are complete and final. Punishments range from course dismissal to suspension from Carolina. Violations proved by the council become part of the studeiit's permanent record. As 'ou knov. all ca,es involving a student's hoir arc brouit before this stu dent honor council. At Carolina there is nc faculty proctor system. There is no one here "spving" on students to see that they are doing as they shuIld. This matter of honor is left entirelv to the student himself. But, the honor Coun cil tries to dispen e w it Ii students who do not seem w orthy of sayinLr, "I graduated from Carolina.' As to what consist.; of honor, the shortest way to sum it up is "fair phry." The Ilonor Principle at Carolina is one of its oldest and best traditions and Carolina does not tolerate a cheat. De% elopinent of pernal hioior is one of the most inportaili tiings a student at Carolina caii do. Through your elforts'. Caro lina's lonionr Principle can never fail.

Since the beginning of the year, the YWCA has been trying to get a room in Flinn Hall to use for its meeting place. Not only was it to be used for the Y, but for Alpha Kappa Ganuna and any other woman's organization lacking a meeting room. The room has been provided, but for months it has remained un furnished. The cabinet has turned all its efforts toward furnishing the room, but without cooperation from the t'niversity, it cannot be done. Why should it be that the one organization on the cainlpus that envelopes every Carolina woman student. should be dismissed so casually? The Y needL that room. It is there, true, but the only pieces of furniture in it are two tables. The cabinet, as we have said before i.5 helpless until it gets suppoV from Univer sit off'icials. Perhaps the Lniversity could donate or lend furniture until the time comes when the V can buy its own. It seems to us that this i. one project that should not be put in tlh background. Are You, As A Carolina Student, Doing Your Part In Your Organization? There are m1anv organizations, committees, etc.. on our caipus. perhaps more than can be put to elleetih use. Their lack of usefulness seem.I to Ie a prevalent opinion among stu (lenb= and facilty. But, is anyone trying to help the2-e organizatio(ns carry out their sup posed purposes to better advantage? For exainple, let us look at the Euphrosy nean Literaryt Society. f )r11' of the two liter a1ry societ ies fr Ca"rolinia women, it has been ini thP pa.4 anl organization of sonme merit.

Canu an or ganizationi of any kind "'do ain ything"' if its miembers do not cooperate? if at each meet ing five fir less attendl can it be expected to carry v 'ut any program of interest? A onily tw o timies during the year do all the nmembers flock to the meetings. even bringing their friends . . . the drawing card being the electioni of olficers and p)icture taking for th< annual. Those~ are the unpleasant, but trut facts. I f the society is to be made up. of "oflict loving" people or people who have no highen ambhitioni than to have their names and faces before thie public, there is no excuse for its exiusten ce.

Ho hum--yawn--I'm bored already, aren't you? Well, let's go on our weary way. * Feminine Touch Can't you just see some grim battle-scarred doctor on a desperate island in the Pacific examining one of those Red Cross bandages made at Carolina, and finding, instead of an unimaginative fold, a set of dainty little pleats, such as Tucker and Griff have been industriously making! * Tinker Toys I declare, one learns the miost unusual things at college. I always thought that organic chemistry would be about as hard a course as one could find in a preliminary search, and lo and behold, here are all the little chem-taking brain trusts doing their homework, which consists of playing with tinker toys. College ain't what I thought it was! Of course, they say they're " making molecules, but it looks like plain ole kindergarten stuff to me. * Ye Goode Olde Daze About every other hour, some old-timer gives a piteous sigh and, with a faraway look in the eye, begins a soliloquy on those good old days at Carolina. I'm always vaguely wondering ex actly what it is that they're yearning for, but some of the tales that a local sage was telling to his class the other day have cleared up my bewilderment, more or less. I'll pass 'em on: One of the crazier sports of the day was this. Along about dusk, some husky lads would line up on each side of the street, and just as a car was coming, would pretend to be heaving ot, an imaginary rope. Of course the car would skeet to a stop. Carolina must have been the terror of all motorists, because another boy had a hobby of the some kihd. Just.as a car would get close to him, he would stick his foot out in front of it, and the car would have to swerve wildly to avoid hitting him. One day the car didn't swerve, tee hee. The trickiest trick of the day, however. was thought up by a boy who wired a welcome mat, of all' things. When a pal came to see him lie w as knocked cold. If I haven't quoted these right I hope I won't get sued, 'cause after all, I wasn't here, thank goodness. * Gangway!

Not that 1L doubt for a second that they would trample you to a shadow, remnorse lessly. One foolhearty had left his books in their path and by the time lie could recover them the covers were torn off and not one page was left unmangled. Oh, boy, just think what those guys could do to the G3erumans! * Not A Moron, Though Have you heard the one about the little boy who kept buying tickets to the movie because the man inside the door kept tearing them up as he passed through? * Thought For This Week Tle time I'll give Dorothy Parker the credit: * Razors pain you; Rivers are damp; Acids stain you; And drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful; Nooses all give; Gas smells awful; You might as well hve. * Corny But Cute The minister hod just preached his farewell sermon to the congregation with which he hod had much trouble. "How beautiful," said a visitor to one of th3 deacons, "and how appropriate for a farewell sermon." "Think so?" said the deacon gruffly. "Why, yes. What better text could he find than, 'In my - Father's house are many mansions . . . I go to prepare a place for you.' By the way, where is he going?" The deacon smiled sourly as he answered: "He becomes chaplain of the State Penitentio.y." * You Can Scream Now nee tis~.u i positi ely the conrierst of the mnanyv, manyv corz)i, ;'.es. thait I ha ve coiuue :<ui', myfl sad1 career ais a coliumuis.
