Bell, the late "Y" director, Religious Em phasis Week has been held on the Carolina campus for 32 years. The program each year Is designed to clarify some theme in which the students are interested and with which all the ministers are ac quainted and thus able to clear up the students' problems. Last year's theme was, "What Doth the Lord Require of Thee?" Board Meets Here Saturday to Study Problems of Coeds The Board of Women Visiters will meet tomorrow at 11 a. m. in Leiber college.

LaBruce, a senior from George town, was a columnist for the Gamecock last year and in several columns advanced theories for a better-working honor system on the campus. This semester he com piled his thoughts on the matter into a pamphlet which he distribu ted to the Honor Board and the campus. The two points that LaBruce advanced were a change in regula tions in reporting offenses and publicity about honor and the sys tem as it should work at Carolina. At the present time, a student who sees another cheating is re quired to report the offense to Honor Council. Under LaBruce's plan, a student noticing an offense would call the attention of another student to the fact. Together the two would confront the offender and ask him to offer an explana tion. If the accused explained the seeming offense to be a mistake on the part of the observers, the matter would be dropped. If the accused confessed and seemed sin cerely regretful, the matter would also be dropped. If, however, the offender was found to be entirely guilty, the fact would be reported to Honor Board which would hold a trial and decide upon suspension. Those who had observed the of fense, as well as the professor in the class and other students, would testify in the ease. Publicity, a second point of his program, would include publicizing the university's honor code to high school students and outsiders as well as to students now at Carolina. YMCA deputation teams, which visit colleges throughout the state could mention the honor system. The "Alumni News", the Extension Division, and university dlelegations to high school could also_ publicize the system. As for new studients, LaBruce stated that they should be given a formal speech by some dignitary, such as governor of the state, on the conduct expected of a Carolina student, and an explanation of the system by a student. Small In formal gatherings should be held immediately after this program to answer questions raised by new students. He proposed a roundI table discussion over campus radio station WUSC to explain anid criticize the honor principle. LaBruce also felt that professors should be informed and Instructed as to the workings of the honor system. No action was taken by the Honor Board on any of LaBruce's suggestions. The matters will be brought up at the next meeting of the Bard after Thanksgiving. [lost 1 is In Dec.
