Law For( NoHonesty Here, Says Davenport A law student who learned the principles of honesty at the Uni versity of Virginia said Wednes day that apparently there is no honor system at Carolina. Demby Davenport, student sena tor and native of Greer, S. C., told The Gamecock, "Some people walk around the University lifting other people's property. There's just a little bit too much thieving going on around here. I have to lock my car all the time. You name it, they'll take it." No Honor System Commenting on the bill he in troduced in Student Senate con cerning alleged misappropriation of funds by members of The Gamecock staff, Davenport said, "I've always been at schools where there was an honor system. There seems to be no honor system here at Carolina." Davenport was an undergrad uate at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, which, he said, was "founded on what is known as the honor system." In explaining his action in the open session of Senate, Davenport said, "My motion was for the sole purpose of giving their (a Senate subcommittee's) findings to an ad ministrative body of the Univer sity composed mostly of the fac ulty, much to my disappointment." "An Assumption" He admitted the whole question of misappropriation of funds for the Miss Carulina Contest spon sored by The Gamecock is "an as sumption. I just made a motion that this alleged misappropriation be investigated." Davenport said also that he has not been at the University "very long," and that he was not fa miliar with the operation of the campus newspaper. When asked where he received his information concerning the al leged misappropriation, Daven port said, "You'll have to check with Todd Wilson on that. I don't know myself what authority I might or might not have to make a statement." President of the Student Body Todd Wilson was not available for comment.

The resolution resulted from a report from the Committee on Monetary Affairs saying that there was a mishandling of funds collected from the "Miss Carolina" contest. "Lack Of Honor" Another resolution in conjunc tion with the first proposed bill, was presented by Sen. Demby Davenport. Before stating his bill, Davenport said that at Carolina "there is little student govern ment" and "lack of honor" in the Carolina Community. Sen. Davenport proposed that the findings of the monetary com mittee be turned over to the Dis ciplinary Committee. le urged that the matter be investigated further and those responsible for this "flagrant abuse of responsi bility" be removed from the staff. This motion was also sent to committee for further study. Four Passed Senate did, however, pass four resolutions at the busy meeting. The first called for proper ironing facilities to be installed in the men's dormitories by the Univer sity.
