UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Vol. L., No. 26 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, APRIL 8, 1960 Founded 1908 CA RI Carolina Express S President Robert L. Sur statement on the death Wedr athletic director and head of education: "The death of Rex Enrig University and me, personall3 amiable gentleman, Rex Enri respected for his unswerving ad herence to the highest ideals of sportsmanship, as well as for his competent, vigorous and effective leadership in athletics and physi val education. "Mr. Enright's engaging per sonality, exemplary character and remarkable capacity for making and retaining friends placed him high in the affections of all who knew him. Outstanding Citizen "South Carolina has lost an outstanding citizen in the death of Rex Enright, and I an sure the entire state joins the Univer sity in mourning for our beloved director of athletics, head of hte department of physical education, and former head coach." Other University officials have said the following: Dean George Tomlin: "I think Rex Enright's death is a collosal loss to the University. He made life much easier for all of us around here. I have known him since I came here, and I con sidered him an outstanding Committee 1 USC Honor. Because "deliberate and peri part of a minority" under the e) led to a "loss of confidence on faculty" in its workability, a s] mittee has released a report rect fication of the principle. The committee, named by Presi- thi dent Robert L. Sumwalt to study rer the effectiveness of t h e Honor de P r i n c i p I e (System) at the University presented a detailed re port to the faculty meeting last or' th4 Wednesday. cal Dean W. H. Callcott, chairman ye of the committee, emphasized that pei the report is a "realistic adapta- of tion of the Honor Principle (Sys- g tem) to present conditions. it T h e s e conditions, he said, are un brought about in part by the ox- las pansion of class enrollments-in ar sonme instances from a normal of h 20-25 class .members to 100 or 150. de Committee MWembers ab The committee, composed of wi seven faculty members and seven de students, pointed out t h a t the Sn Honor Principle (Systeni) "once It ab is voluntarily subscribed to and by conscientiously followed is consid- vi ered e n ou gh to prevent such breaches of good conduct and disci pline as, for example, cheting in examinations, property d a m a g e , thievery and the like." The report further sbates that the responsibility of reporting breaches of t h e principle falls equally on all-students and fac ulty alike -- "Indeed on everyone who has. the interests of the Uni versity at heart; and that in these to matters t 'h e r e is an over-riding o~ loyalty, greater than that of stu- ol dent, or even fraternity (or sor ority) members to fellow mem- di bers." A: Under the Honor Principle, an p 'Nonor Board (Council) is formed, t with student members comprising the majority. The Board sets policy M and guides the general working thi of the Honor machinery. s From the membership of the R0 Board an Honor Court is created, mn again with students as the ma jority, to conilder offenses. Decd- Ic stons of the Court are thereose p. arrived at freely, with faculty per-w tlciettn being at the Invitation af th L IN Officials iadness nwalt issued the following kesday of Rex Enright, USC the department of physical ht has deeply saddened the r. An able, distinguished and ght was widely admired and gentleman and friend. I know of no one in my time at the Univer sity that was so universally liked as he." Dean William H. Patterson: "He was a very close friend of the administration and will be missed on campus." Fine Gentleman Dr. Havilah Babeock: "Rex Enright was a very lovely gentle man who had a remarkable capa city for making and retaining friends. He will be missed. le was respected, admired, and held in deep affection by the people throughout the South. "Not only was he admired by the people who were interested in athletics, but by countless others whose interests were dissimiliar. During the full sweep of his years at the University. I never heard a single statement adverse to Rex Enright's character. An able and resourceful coach tand administra tor, he was above all a very fine gentleman.

Carolina loved this man, who spoke his words as easily and gently as any South erner can. Persons all over South Carolina and the United States who knew him liked and admired him. He was a true statesman for Carolina, the college and the state. In 1938, Coach Enright came to Carolina. He had previously rven i this Constitution next year withou the necessity of faculty approval Other student organizations, suc as ODK and Blue Key, do not hav to have their Constitutions ap I proved in this manner, so wh - should the Student Body, one o the most important organization on campus, have to comply wit] such regulation?" Leventis adde I that various members of the fac - ulty have voiced similar opinion a on the matter. r According to Dean Tomlin, re - ferring the Constitution to thi I committee will perhaps be th . most expedient means of gettin i it passed later.
