PaUlne Ta Pauline (the little witih): Mama, mama, can Ah borrow the broom t'night ta ride o'er Columbia and haunt the kids at USC? Please, mama, please can Ah bor row the broom? Mama Witch: Honey, chile - ya just know Ah shouldn't let ya take the lil ole broom t'night, but, punkin', Ah'll let you ride - yaur mamais broom t'night if ya promise, sweetcakes, ya'll not do too much harm at Carolina. Pauline: Gee, mama, that s'nuff is peachy keen. I'll take really, really good care of yaur broom, hear? Mama Witch: Beat it. Pooof - Pauline flew away like a bat out of hell. She flew directly over Columbia and landed her mama's broom at the University. She first tried to haunt the Wesley Founda tion, but her efforts failed - they asked her to spend the night and offered her meals. Next, little Pauline flew, flew away to the infirmary, where instead of fright, she was greeted on sight and offered polio sugar lumps. Upset, disillusioned, and weary, Pauline de Our Honc The honor system is dead. It died several years ago when many members of the fac ulty began to question the honesty of Caro lina students and they, in turn, took ad vantage of being placed on their honor. Although buried deep in the past, the honor system has seemed to live on from semester to semester - in name only. To day, the honor system at USC is merely a matter of jest, since it is not seriously con sidered functional by either students or faculty members. Students on the Honor Board are pres ently doing all in their power to revive the noble principles of the honor system; but, their labors will be useless if the faculty does not co-operate. Right now, there is little encouragement from the faculty regarding the use of the honor system; only one pro fessor, Dr. Daniel Hollis, has personally approached us with the problem. We think the honor system could be a PETE AN Let's Take A Stan A M 0 V I E entitled "PT-109" had authored no s played at one of Columbia's of legislation. theaters earlier this week.

They should begin b; placing students on their honor during exam inations. We can cite many, many instance when we have taken a test under the watch ful eyes of a suspecting professor and hi assistant, both of whom were pacing th, classroom for 50 minutes in search of stu dents who might be cheating. This is an honor system? If this is th way the faculty (as a whole) wants to en force the honor system, then it is time t get rid of it, for it does not serve the purpoa for which it was established. If, however, the faculty desires to con tinue the honor system, let us offer them i challenge: place students on their honor When students are aware that they are beini trusted by their professors, the good and noble ideals of Carolina's honor system wil: begin to be realized. - Myers DREWS ---- d: John Kennedy ignificant piece The picture that emerges is one of a shameless and ruthless poli political short- tician who makes the most of g Senator was money, good looks, and public labor.

If I were to follow her lead,je I would suggest the following a standard campaign poster form, n which every candidate would be n required to use on all posters: (1) name of candidate, (2) office d sought, (3) qualifications (list ar previous leadership experience), ~ and (4) character references.m While Miss Higgins' approach Ni might emphasize the seriousness th of student body offices, it would t also have the effect of reducing Bn both the number of candidates ~i and the number of voters. At the be moment I would say that Cairo- be lina is in greater nieed of students 19 interested in student govern- o ment -- whatever their means of ou campaigning -- than of featureth writers who go to any length for a "filler" article. m ma If the venerable Miss Higgins sui is so interested in the quality of thi campaign posters, why doesn't ofi she run for office?

A f t e r spending much lin extra time, effort, and money at ba< the "request" of Interfraternity act Council and Dean Cooper for the to betterment of our Homecoming cot festivities, we feel that we are brc justified in feeling duly slighted. pol We understand that only 15 pa: minutes can be devoted to half- cle time ceremonies; however, with Joi some planning equal time could to have been given to all partici- the pants, all Even to a student, this show cxc appeared to be highly disorgan- s'g ized, so one might imagine how aer it appeared to the alumni and rat visitors. We suggest that in the future a little more consideration be given to those organizations miu wvho worked so hard trying to e improve our Homecoming. adm JUDY McDOWELL, WI ELLEN HORTON flue L~ULA MURRAY in TODD A Nei M- Aum I AY I extend to the newly ti elected officers of Student a, >vernment my sincerest con- cl atulations. You have elected tc me fine people to serve you ki r the remainder of the year, d I look forward to working th each of them. These elections do bring one al ing to mind, however. Some ing of concern to me is the vv et that our class officers ac ally have little to do in connec- t in with the office that they I Id. There is nothir,- in the at nstitution nor in the Student su dy Statutes that offers any er ties for these officers to pur e. This year we are fortunate in ving some of the finest class h ficers in quite some time, and b are in high hopes of finding C0 mething for them to do that n >uld be constructive and help- ar 1 to the University. We are, wever, starting from scratch er th nothing to guide us. su fe RELIEVE that we need to be gin class meetings in order F find the opinions and interests i the members of the various pr isses and can do more to pro- p )te unity among the classes ev emselves. This would be par- E1 ularly helpful for senior de isses to plan reunions, etc. and Bi )uld, I believe, be a great al nefit to all of our classes. cv Before attempting to plan si< ch action, we will need to know pe w you feel about such matters ac d what suggestions you would cc ve along these lines.

John F. nnedy, in his youth, wrote in F4y England Slept that Britain dI disarmedl to a great degree di that the United States must t make that mistake in the ure when she has attained 'rId leadership. l'hat future is with us now v d we seem to be dismantling r manned forces and relying the missile systems more and re. The type of war which we likely to fight in the future 11 not be one of nuclear anni ation, but one of limited con7 :-ts, or police action. We need augment and strengthen all Sareas of our defense posture 'luding troop carriers, hell >ters, manned bombers, cargo nes, ground forces, guerilla 'ces, polaris submarines. John nnedy once said that he nted a choice in the use of itary forces, but it appears us that his choice is being tricted, and that eventually re will be no alternative ex >t "fight or surrender." H lE communist objective is still to bury us. We can st the Russians to deal with only when the advantage is 'irs; we cannot trust the inese at all. How, then, can retire the Strategic Air Coin nd in the face of such open itility? According to General omas S. Power, the B-47 is I a potent weapon and could ectively deliver its weapons in year 2000. Many others feel S way, and we insist that this not the time to reduce our errent strength, while the rimunists are not reducing ir offensive capacity. Another. t which is alarming is that' missile systems are not 100 cent reliable, as assumed by great percentage of the pop tion.
