Honor S . erious A student opinion poll on the Honor Sys tern will be conducted next Thursday an( Friday by the Honor Board. Object of the survey is to receive suggestions for makinf the Honor System more effective. The Boarc will read the questionnaires and use thes( as a basis for possible revision. Included in the poll are such questions a. "Do you want an Honor System ?", "Do yot prefer a proctor system (faculty super vision) ?", "Are you willing to assume the responsibility that is called for under an3 honor system ?" Space for suggestions fo: changes in the present system will be pro vided. Students should take the poll seriously giving frank opinions and offering sugges tions. Only in this way will the Honor Boar( have an effective working basis. Something does need to be done about th4 Honor System. Students are too prone ti regard it as "the faculty has the honor, th< students have the system." Such an attitud< does not speak well for the University o: the individual. No one is more aware of thi attitude than the Honor Board. The mem Sign Leti Please sign letters to the editor. Th Gamecock policy is to print only those letter to which a name is signed. Names may be withheld by request fo sufficient reasons. However, the penwritte signature of the person must be on the lette sent to the editor before it can be published The name will not be revealed. This pre vision applies to faculty members as we] as students.

There have been only two cases, involving four students, to come before the Honor Council this year. Two students were found "not guilty," one student was given a seven in the course and another was given a seven in the course and suspended for two weeks. On the face of it, this sounds good that there were only four persons accused out of a student body of 4,000. But, how many went unreported because a fellow student who witnessed a violation iailed in his duty to the honor principle? All of the aspects of the honor system pledge, reporting, trial, punishment-should be seriously considered by each student be- - fore the poll begins. Serious answers should 4 i be given. It is time for those students who have been making disparaging remarks about the Honor System to make recommendations for a better system. Only with a sound system can the University prosper. Only with sound thinking on the questionnaire will the Honor Board be able to work out a better principle. - -penney ers, Please e The Gamecock, as all newspapers do, re 3 serves the right to edit all letters.

No adult non-student, except u )ossibly an identical twin, looks t ugh like a student to be ad- t nitted on an 1-D card. Cards t ould not be sold because one card i would suffice for all games and s I ber events. S Second, there would be no re- s erved seats, but students would e se seated on a first-come, first ;er ved basis, starting in section 10 and continuing into the end r.one as far as necessary.

Freeman Negro Has Not Reached White Level Decar Editor: I readl Mr. Morton's column in the March 9) issue of The Game cock andl criedl a salty tear for Freddy. I am sure that his Negro friend andl playmate had counterp)arts wvho entertained me and most of the people of the South. Joseph, who was mine, and his mother, were greatly lovedl by the whole family, but Joseph andl I always knew the difference between us. I do not think that the Negro, as a race, has reached our edu cational, social and economic level, lHe, the Negro, has not been out of the jungle but about two centuries and was a slave less than a century ago. Some fewv have made the advances to our society, but the masses haven't. Until the complete race has risen to our standing I don't think they are ready to meet us as complete equals. I b)elieve that if the schools andl other state-ownled facilities wvere openedl to bo0th races while this gap still existed it would raise the Negro tremendously but in doing so would be detrimental to the abilities of following gen e rat.ions. Perhaps Mr. Morton would palace me with such "decidant" groups of the state legislators and the UJDC. If my belief in the South and her peoples puts me there, would you honorable non nimit!1" cket Plan )rkable cket unless wearing a skirt and ccompanying a Carolina male .udent. Freshmen and girls, with e exception of married students, ,ill not be allowed to purchase ate tickets. Fourth, a working card section plan"ied. Only those wishing to articipate in the card tricks will it in the section. Complete plans r the card section have not been orked out, but it is promised hat if this plan is adopted, there ill be a working card section. Additional arrangements will ave to be made for the first ame, which is scheduled for en Dlment day. THE NEW PLAN was drawn p by a football ticket committee 'erking with student council, KAM Club Executive Secretary lick Anderson, and Athletic Di ector Rex Enright. Students erving on the committee are John loan, chairman, and Hunk Mil r, Ab Avinger, Billy Bruce and Lrchie Hardy. Some of the other plans which 'ere presented and discarded as nworkable were the present sys ."m, with no date tickets; a sys tm of no reserved seats except he date section which would he u an undesirable part of the tadium; and an arrangement for eating students on the opposite ide of the field for all games xcept t h e Carolina - Clemson :ame, at which they would Ft in ne end zone. The new plan as presented here s designed to keep people who are not students out of the stu lent section by stopping the scalp nig of tickets, and simplifying the late ticket situation. A great deal of credit should be civen the committee for t he bought and work behind the >resentation of this system. Ad nittedly, there are still a good nany rough spots, but wvith co plerat ion from the student body, hey should be wvorked out, and rom where wve sit, wve'd like to ee the system given a chance. )le~nake room for one more reac ionary ? Rob Higgins Level Of Appeal [s Their Glory Dear Editor: In 'rhe Gamecock of March 9 read some criticisms b)y Mr. Lee about Hell Fire and Brim stone as it was p)resented to him by the "IdIiots" (as he called them) from Bob Jones Univer <ity. Here are some points that Mr. Lee itas missed: "Their insistent fervor," Mr. Lee, is dlue to their faith in the Savior; the "inspired gleam in their eyes" is nothing but the revelation of joy in their hearts. As to their level of appeal being "approximately that of a 10-year-old," that is their glory; for there is nothing so easy to undlerstandj and so easy to miss as the Christian way of salva tion. K. J. Kabbouishy Bob Jones Students Not 'Practicing' Dear Editor: Last wveek before I had a chance to glance over my copy of TJhe Gamecock a friend of mine asked me to readl an article on the lower left-hand side of the editorial page.
