Representing chairman, Ramon Schwartz, Ji Board is being represented by Ken Leland and Carroll Gillic The controversy concerning the present honor system was pre cipitated at the last Student Coun cil meeting in December when that body voted unanimously for the abolition of the. HonorABoard and Honor Council and that a more "workable arrangement" be found. Since then two vastly different proposals have been made but neither one has been accepted. Discipline Committee Scored A motion was unanimously passed that Council write a letter to Jesse B. Jackson, dean of men, emphatically disapproving of the discipline committee's action in re viewing a case of honor tried in the Law School. The Law School's Honor Council had acquitted the student of charges brought against him and of the discipline commit tee, reviewed the case and decided against the Honor Council decision. The Law School Honor Council was Pet up by the academic Honor Board and cases tried before the latter body can be appealed only to the Board of Trustees. A Coun cil member expressed the opinion that cases of honor were not in the discipline committee's province. Objection Raised James McCallum, president of Blue Key, read a letter to Council from Blue Key in which objection was raisedl to Student Council pay ing for the "Tea-cup" awvard from its contingent fund. He asked that Blue Key be permitted to pay for the trophy from the better rela tions fund of the Carolina and Clemson chapters, thereby making it an award of both schools. A motion was passed that let ters of apology be sent both Blue Registrar Ui Graduates 'I Applicants for degrees or cer' tificates to be awarded in June, 1949, who have not previously filed application in the Registrar's Of 'fice should report immediately to the information window in the Registrar's Office for an appoint ment for this purpose.

Bureau Head Says Seniors Not Takin0 Advantage Of Free Placement Service Seniois are failing to take ad vantage of a service offered them free of charge by the University Placement Bureau, Basil M. Parks, direct or of placement, an nounced this week. The bureau is arranging to have the personnel officers from many of the better nationally known firms come to the university to in'terview gradu ates with the idea of offering po sitions to them upon graduation. The seniors shouTd come to the Placement Office andl fill out their registration form and personal in formation sheets so that such per sonnel officers can inspect a well preparedl set of credentials. Un less this is done. the student is placed at a dlisadlvantage. This week, Messrs. Wells and Mark wood, representing the Southern Bell Telephone Company, have been interviewving members of the senior class-Electrical and Me chanical Engineering students and Business Administration students --but about half of the students interviewedl had not filed their Placement Registration forms. Therefore, these men did not re ceive the same consideration as those who had complied with the Placement Bureau request. Un less the students cooperate with the bureau, they cannot expect goodl service, Parks said. It is well to note, Parks said. that there are not as many jobs available for this June as there have been in previous years. As an example, the demand for engi neers will be about half what it was last year, although there will be twice as many graduates in the nine southen sitaes Powder Renewe By ri Powder Bowl King Receives Crown At Half By ERIC OPPENIEIMER Come rain, Margaret Truman, or what have you, the crowning of the "king" and other halftime fes tivities of the Powder Bowl will take place tonight.
