A Saturday holiday from
classes for the Carolina-Clem
son game was authorized by Dr.
Trhonmas F. Jones, President of
t h e University, Wednesday
afternoon on the strength of a
straw poll of faculty members.
The faculty survey was made
through department heads amid
growing sentiment in favor of
a full day off rather than a
pell-mell rush to drive to the
game Saturday duriag the late
morning and early afternoon.
A "significant majority" of
those polled agreed that it would
be best to declare a holiday. D)r.
Jones said. Hie added that most
reported it was their experi
ences that classes were sparsely
attended if held under the cir
cumistances.
"tHereafter it is anticipated
that any such events as this will
be arranged well ahead of time
in the University calendar." Dr.

New System
Not To Cause
Grade Changes
Director of Admissions Rollin
E. Godfrey said Wednesday he
does not expect the four-point
grading system to cause a radical
change in grades at the end of
the semester.
Godfrey dismissed student con
cern over the professor being
given discretion of assigning nu
merical grades to each letter. le
cited that such concern was un
founded since student grades have
always been subject to the instruc
tor's decision. A student will be
graded according to his instrue
tor's opinion of his work despite
the system designated by the ad
ministration department.
The Director said that the Uni
versity administration should not
tell a qualified faculty how to as
sign grades.
le added that the four-point
system is not unique in its ap
plication here but widely used.
Godfrey advised students "to
work harder and worry less."

Secretary to th elibrary direc
tor, Mrs. Lucia M. Gary, calling
the situation a "real bad prob
lem," reported that supplies had
been stolen "unmercifully" from
her office after 11 p.m. several
times since she joined McKissick's
staff in June.
She said that besides missing
supplies, the office typewriters
and adding machine had been
used during the night. An electric
copying machine was made in
operable for several days by
someone's inserting either carbon
paper, or a duplicating stencil in
to the machine.
A library employee, declaring
"someone's got real sticky fin
gers," urged an investigation "to
the nth degree."
Most of the complaints to li
brary officials and University
police about pilfering of carrells
has come from graduate students
on the third floor of McKissick.
The carrells, desks with book
shelves, are provided to graduate
students as a place to study and
I to leave materials. Due to the
fact that few departments provide
their graduate assistants with of
f ice space, the carrells must also
serve as a place to correct papers
and work on class records.
The library's book stacks and
third floor rooms where the car
rells are located are areas off
limits to anyone who does not
have a stack permit.
Gamecock staff members were,
however, able to gain admittance
to the carrells during library
hours Tuesday night by walking
through the doors off the main
lobby without permission or pre
senting identification.
Preston Crews, a graduate as
sistant in the history department,
terming the situation "frustrat
ing," reported that a jacket and
a legal-size clipboard had been
taken from his desk.
Graduate student Judith Filkin
had reported a winter coat and
other personal items missing, but
they have been returned.
Among other graduate students
missing items, Thomas Kennedy
had his class ring and a book be
longing to the history department
taken from his desk.
While studying in a closed
room one night, Kennedy was
locked in the building when he
failed to hear the elevator bell
that is rung at closing time. He
urged a "tightening of security"
and among other things suggested
that someone check the stacks and
upper floors of the library build
ing at closing time.
Kennedy also said that keys
have been given recently to grad
uate students to insure their ad
mittance to the room where their
carrell is located.

As a result of statements issued
in a faculty meeting last May by

on the ineffectiveness of the
Honor System and the necessity
for a thorough study of the pro

In commenting on today's ac
tion, President Jones said: "Be
cause of the fundamental nature
of the question involved, I regard
the work of this committee as
most important to the welfare
and the future of the University."
Earlier this week, at a joint
meeting of ODK and Alpha Order.
Dr. Hollis discussed the history of
the Honor System at Carolina
and pointed to the chief obstacles
to the success of the system.
System's History
The USC Professor of History
noted that the Honor System has
been in serious trouble since the
1920's and pointed to the mere
six to ten cases a year brought
to the Honor Board. Commented
Dr. Hollis, "You mean to tell me
that's all the cheating that goes
on?"
In continuing a discussion of
the history of the system, Dr. H1ol
lis pointed to the fact that when
South Carolina College had only
200 students, the Honor System
was successful.
In 1906, when the college be
came a university, there was, in
force, a formal Honor Code. From
this time up until World War I
the system saw its best years.
However, with the trebling of
enrollment in the years after the
war', the system again found it
self plagued with problems which
eventually led to revocation of the
Honor Code in 1930.
Present System
Professor Hollis then talked to
the students concerning the pres
ent system at USC. The main idea
coming out of the discussion was
the profound need for codifica
tion of an Honor Principle and
support and dedication for the
Honor Board.
The discussion leader expressed
the idea that faculty members are
the cause for much of the prob
lem. He noted that many faculty
members come from schools where
there is no Honor System, while
others believe in it explicitly. This
division among faculty members
tends to confuse the students.
The group also discussed the
problem of conflicting codes in
volved in the Honor System: the
Honor principle and the personal
codes of students, which do -'not
allow turning in other students
for offenses.
