Carolna Sti About Cont ly JIM E. QUICK Feature Writer Ioes USC have an honor system or Juts the Carolina honor system just become a few words written at time bottom of a blue book? During the past semester the Carolina honor system has been discussed, debated and argued in all areas of the campus. While the conitinuance or abolishment of this system is at stake, students in gen eral have remained rather passive and mum about the whole situa tioln. In a sample poll taken by The (;ai'reork, students voiced varying opinions about the desirability and the reliability of the honor system at, Carolina. Riat Henderson, senior, said, "Tme understatement of the year is it) ,.ay that Carolina has an honor !.%.%tem . . . Of course, I don't be lieve I SC cn ever make good use of ain honor s-wstem." Mikie Hanson, sophomore, com iented, "You know, all this cheat ing gets rather tiring after a whie. There should be something Vandalism Ware Sweeps Through Carolina Campus Bv LEWIS M. LEVY 'Tlie recurrent waves of vandal ism which periodically s w e e p across the face of the Carolina Oominunity present a very real problein o hth administration am! stuidents alike. Elevators A perfect case in point is that of the elevators in buildings H, .1, 1, and L. Each of these costs the staitt som $40,000, but do you think they are treated as befits their great cost? Hardly! In build ing K it would seeni to be fashion ath to hurn as many of the con lird buttons as possible. Som thluightful individuals have already io(-!td five of these, thus causing iuch annoyanve to the other resi dntsiia of that dormitory. In a similar show of thoughtless iss. the elevator in building I was overloaded and fell three fl, era a few weeks ago. Luckily there were no serious injuries, save tih .st done to the car itself. The hf!s iii 1 and J fare little better. Needed Facilities Some complain that the admin istit%rtin tould do more than it has t1 mure the comfort of the stu Ints.

PAWLEY Due to environmental factors beyond the scope of human control, the Carolina student has been forced to live in a new world; a world of steel, fabric and plastic handles, a world of dampness and chills, of coughs and colds in short, the world of the Umbrella. This new frontier, which has just recently been opened to the Carolina student, is a world that r e (I u i r e s great fortitude and strength, brains and brawn . . . a world of survival of the fittest. On many mornings when the Carolina Stu(eIjt awakes, he finds hiinsel f faced with the problem of daily surviVal in the "war of um brella vs. umibrellat." Many bloody battles are fought through the long dreary days of rain which seem to frequent this paiticular region. The heaviest combat of these battles occur on the campus wa!kways. The largest and bloodiest of these battles is fought during class changes. Any lucky survivors can state with rea sonable accuracy the horror of this new warfare. The most common tactic used is to lure the intended victim into a false state of security by letting him pursue his course unmolested for a small interval of time. Then, with a lightning-swift stroke, the attacker descends, d r i v i n g the spokes of the umbrella into the victii's neck. If this met'od fails, the next plan of action that follows usually involves the twirling of the um breellIa in to the victim's face, caus ing imomentairy blindness and thus STERN! or Men's EE RIDERS UhE N BOOTS WEvY's ssembly - Open Evenings (MS eton - ecial Plaies ST T ER.............. 75c N ................... 60c TEAK...............60c DRESSING........ .60c -QUE CHICKEN .... .60c IK CHOP-............60c K (with potatoes) .85c |T-Bone Steak rPOTATOES TOSSED SALAD $1.15 6' y~ e AC4L 190oft-T~ A NE FREE CUT IUS CLASS rfare' Makes r Dangerous issuring the assailant's escape. A unique revolution has been witnessed in umbrella warfare with the ever-changing artillery. Instead of the usual black, brilliant olors are being used, which cause Almost instantaneous blindness. Another observable change is the lance points, firmly attached to th* tips of the weapons. These points have been produced larger this year to assure more effectiveness in wounding. 'The handles have also undergone a change resulting in small knobs. These, when in desperate fray, can be used as a small club. Thus by -rabbing the umbrella near the top and swinving, a new weapon results. By the invention of the umbrella, a new world of pain and pleasure has been opened to Carolina stu donts.
