These three veterans of old battlefields have completed pre liminary discussions and are about to make fatal decisions which will affect untold generations of the fu iure. Meetings are kept secret, but Indications are that a majority of the 'issues revolve around politics and economics judging by the large delegation of experts in these fields present. Also, a topic of speculation is the question of Russia's possible entry into the war against Japan. These leaders and their staffs have been struggling over a week in the palace, which was the Kaiser's sun.. mer home and from which he hoped to dominate all Europe after the First World war. Today the Big Three, by meeting at Potsdam, ae making the fact of Germany's defeat even clearer to the German people. The Senate has voted, by 61 to 16, approval of the Bretton Woods plans to stabilize the post war monies and help finance reconstruction. This puts the U. S. down for a 2 1-2 billion share of the promised 8 1-2 billion world bank to stabilize world currency after the war. Maj. Gen. Claire L.

During a recent 10-day air-sea bombardment, Nimitz announces that 412 enemy craft were destroyed or damaged. Light fleet units are still off the coast of Tokyo. During the,week an official U1. S. spokesman warned Japan to surrender unconditionally or face "virtual destruction followed by a dictated peace." On the othef side of the world, President Truman, speak. Ing on the occasion of the rais Ing of the American flag over Berlin, had this to say to the world: "We are not fighting for conquest. There Is not a plece of territory or one thing of monetary nature we want out of thIs war." The Belgium Parliment has legal ly exiled King Leopold III and bar red him from Belgium soil without Parliamentry consept. His brother, Charles, continues as regent. Leo pold was one of the first to flee his country-carrying with him as much gold as he could lay his hands on--when Germany started its ":blitz" on Belgium. We notice that Francisco Franco of Spain says that Spain is preparing for a monarchy. But we also noti(ce that after cabinet ('hanges had been made--by F'ranco personally--the new cabinet menm bers are' stiil Fascists.

Student Council Meets Weekly to Discuss Issues Under the leadership of student body president George Helow, the Student Council has met twice this semester and launched several new projects, including student body convocations, season athletic tick ets for Navy trainees, and plans for elections. Bill Swift was appointed to inves tigate the probabilities for having student body meetings bi-weekly. He reports that students from Pres ton and Sims are cooperating, and plans for the first programs have already been made. The Council expects to carry these plans to the administration for its approval and advice. The Council has invited Presi dent Smith to join it during any meeting during the semester.

The principle- of honor at Caro lin-. is simply a way of living. As the creed of University life it stands for gentlemanly conduct. Gentlemen do not tolerate those who are not gentlemen among them. A student who stoops to dishonest practices does not 'deserve a col lege education, nor does he merit the comradeship of Carolina men and wamen. The Student Honor Council has sole jurisdiction over all cases aris ing out of breaches of honor. Hear ings are held on edch case and pun ishments are meted out to those found guilty. The Honor Council makes no exception. There are no degrees of moral dishonesty; he who gives aid ts no better than he who receives it. He who shields a cheat is himself a wrong-doer. Every student is presumed to know what is right and honorable, when he does wrong, he must -bear the consequences. To see that breaches of honor are punished Honor Council has com plete control and final jurisdiction in al: cases that involve infractions of the Honor Principle. Three fac ulty members of the Council act in an advisory capacity only, voting power resting entirely with the stu dent members of the Council. All hearings of the Council are kept in absolute secrecy. Punish ments range from dropping from class to indefinite suspension from the University. Infractions include: Giving or re civing aid on quizzes or examiina tions; copying laboratory experi ment or parallel repots; stealing. forgery, or giving worthless cheeks; false absence petitions; cheating on the engagement record book in dor nmbitories; and any other matter of dishonor. In addition Ico the trail of cases involving violation -' the lihonor Principle, the council spendhs much of its time in correcting general classroom weaknesses and in im contintued on page 2 Spot In Prestoi A-Sa yin' That but slightly from those of another --the gent',al purpose of each be ing to extricate undesirable "collo quialisms" from the vocabularies of Its members; for It must have been quite embarrassing when R. 0.
