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.

OnceAgain
The Student Senate, after clos
ing its doors to the public at last
week's meeting, once again al
lowed the news media to sit in on
its session.
A bill calling for the transfer of
The Gamecock funds, which was
presented at the secret session.
was kept in committee.
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.
Next on the agenda was the pas.
sage of legislation making the
Committee on Monetary Affairs a
permanent executive committee of
Student Senate. They are to be
delegated the power to "examine,
at any time, the financial records
of any campus organization re
ceiving money from the Student
Allocations Fund, or the financial
records of any campus organiza
tion which solicits student money."
Final Bills
The third motion passed, pre
sented by Sen. Sara Najjar, called
for a television room to he estab
lished in South Dorm. This room
Iwould be open only to residents of
the hall.
Sen. Perry Moses' motion asked
for a stipend for the student body
president of $325 beginning in the
academic year of September, 1964.
