BEAT REARDON'S VIRGINIA JOURNEY'S END (See page 2) UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR GREATER CAROLNA VOL. LV, NO. 13 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROINA, JANUARY 8, 1965 FOUNDED 1908 Professor Discusses Honor Code Students Urged To Make Reports of Honor Violations Dr. Daniel W. Hollis, chairman of the faculty honor committee, this week urged students to sup. port the honor system during the final examination period. A special committee has been appointed by President Jones to consider the advisability of con tinuing the system at USC. Dean W. H. Patterson is chairman of the faculty - student committee which will make a report some time during the spring semester. Dr. Hollis noted that the only way that interested students could aid in the preservation of the honor system is to actively sup port the system especially during the coming examination period. Students observing incidents of cheating should first obtain an other witness to the act and then report cases to any of the follow ing Honor Board members: Bob Plunkett, Ann Gray, Dr. Hollis, or Dr. Carol Carlisle. In his interview with the Game cock Dr. Hollis pointed out that one of the greatest weaknesses of the system has been the unwilling ness of students to report viola tors. He stated that students as well as faculty members must take an active part in order for the system to be successful. Reminding students that cheat ing on an examination is not the only infraction of the honor code, Dr. Hollis also asks that students pay particular attention to the problems of plagiarism and illegal use of old laboratory reports.
