Welsh, chairman of the faculty anipaign segment which is being onducted simultaneously with the tichland County campaign. "So far," Dr. Welsh says, "the 'esults are gratifying but there tre still many contacts to be nade." In pointing out the success of he campaign for support of the acuity, Dr. Welsh reports, for ex imple, that this year's number of acuity participants from the de )artment of English alone have dlready exceeded the total number >f faculty participants for the en ire University last year. Faculty Participation Counts He explained t h a t it is not, iow much a faculty member ,ives to the Foundation, but the 'act that each faculty member oarticipates that counts. "Alumni nd friends of the University are nore likely to support an under aking which has enthusiastic en lorsement by the University com nunity," he said. Dr. Welsh said he hopes to have 00 per cent participation by the acuity since the improvement of he academic endeavors of the in titution would ultimately enhance he status and position of the acuity. At a later date percentage tandings by departments will be F lublished. He explained that , hould a department have 20 aculty members and all contrib ited, they would be listed as 100 >ercenters. On the other hand, hould 15 contribute, they would >e listed as having participated to lob he extent of 75 per cent. p.n Pledge Cards Are Available pu He added that all contributors cli vill be published by the Alumni thi Lssociation at a later date. In at ddition to indicating that they P re faculty members, those who 110 ,re alumni of the University will I lso be listed with their respec- a.n ive classes. is While faculty members have al- a.n ,eady been supplied with pledge ards, additional cards are avail- j ble from the Alumni Office in L tussell House should any mem >er of the faculty have misplaced iis card.

Only one poster wiHl be al lowed per candidate in the Russell House. Run-offs will be held fromi 9 m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday, Oot r 21 In the RnusIl House ferendum. .Monday If, on the other hand, the ma jority is against it, it will be abolished, and the faculty will proctor all tests and examinations in the future. From past -records, It appearsr that the Honor Principle worked well on this campus until the dec ade of the 1920's. In that decade, however, USC grew tremendously, and the attitude of the students towards the system changed markedly, said Pritchard. Positive Action Needed "Students no longer outwardly condemned cheating as they .had t done prior to this time. From this decade, the present Honor System has declined both in importance and effectiveness and has reached I the point where positive action must be taken or it must be given c up completely," claims Pritchard. In voting on this issue, both the faculty and the Honor Board ask the students to give it their care- I ful consideration and to vote for i or against in accordance with f their basic conviction on the mat- Y ter, Pritchard declared. f Thus, those who believe in the r basic principle behind the Honor t System and want to see it pre served, vote "yes." If, on the other r hand, the student does not believe in the basic principle underlying I the system and wishes to see it f abolished, he is requested to vote t "no," according to Pritchard.
