Looking At The Honor Principle Student Council has completed the list of students wh violated the Honor Principle during elections last week an turned it over to the Honor Council. The steps which th Council will take remain confidential but an investigation i being made and a full report is expected some time nex week. Meanwhile, The Gamecock calls to the attention of ever, student an article which appears in the university catalogul by printing it below: "As the end of the University is to train a body of gentle men in knowledge, virtue, religion and refinement, whatevei has a tendency to defeat this end, or is inconsistent with it shall be treated and punished as an offense, whether ex pressly mentioned in the laws or not-. "The Board (of Trustees) expects and requires the stu dents to maintain the character of refined and elevate( Christian gentlemen. It would be ashamed of any man wh< would excuse breaches of morality, propriety and decorum on the plea that the acts in question are not specifically con demned in the University code. It earnestly desires that thl students may be influenced to good conduct and diligenci in study by higher motives than the coercion of law; and i1 mainly relies for the success of the institution, as a place 0: liberal education, on moral and religious principles, on j sense of duty, and on generous feelings which belong t< young men engaged in honorable pursuits .. ." Extracts from the By-Laws of the Board of Trustees 1853. Since breaches of honor in the classroom tend to lowei the morale of the student body, and since training of a body of ladies and gentlemen can best be attained by active par ticipation in promotion and control, the honor principle ii in the hands of the students. Students drafted an Honoi Code in 1936, signed it, pledged themselves to support the principle. Each year students pledge themselves anew t< further the code of honor. The Honor Council established by this Code is composec of three faculty members and six students, with a chairmar from the latter. It has jurisdiction over all matters pertain. ing to academic honor, In performing its duties the Counci: has supreme regard for the protection of the honor of the students and of the University. Therefore, realizing the im. portance and the gravity of its duties, the Student Hono, Council spares neither time nor effort in its careful, thor. ough, and painstaking investigation of all charges broughi before it. For The Students' Protection It has been brought to our attention that the universit3 administration allows no salesman or solicitor to operate 01 the campus without a permit. Permits are not granted unti a thorough investigation of the salesman has shown tha1 his business is above board and his product of benefit t< students. Students are urged to ask any salesman or solicitor wh< may be operating on the campus to show his permit and i1 he cannot do so to refuse to transact business with him Permit requirements are made for the protection of the stu dents and all are urged to cooperate in this matter. Not From Us Three monkeys sat in a cocoanut tree Discussing things as they're said to be. Said one to the others, "Now listen, you two, There's a certain rumor that can't be true, That man descended from our noble race; "No monkey ever deserted his wife, Starved her babies and ruined her life. And you've never known a mother monk To leave her babies with others to bunk; Or to pass them on from one to another Till they scarcely know who is their mother. "And another thing you'll never see, A monk build a fence 'round a cocoanut tree, And let the cocoanuts go to waste, Forbidding all other monks a taste; Why, if I'd put a fence around a tree, Starvation would force you to steal from me, "Here's another thing a monk won't do Go out at night and get on a stew, Or use a gun or club or knife To take some other monkey's life Yes, man descended-the ornery cuss; But, brothers, he didn't descend from us!1" --Anon.

The Political Science Department has assured us of the HC International Relations Club that camx there will be a plan worked out whereby students may be excused Bo from classes to attend the various Chin speeches and discussions. It is an ticipated that attending at least temp one of the meetings will be re- one c quired of History and Political past Science students.
