Preliminary Elections Today
To Decide
On System
Honor Question Appears
On Student Ballot
Are you in favor of introducing
an honor system on this campus ?
That is the question to he de¬
cided today when the election re¬
sults are made known, as that is
one of the measures to appear on
the ballot, according to Dave Pat¬
rick, student body president and
one of the advocates of the pro¬
posed honor system.
Other plans for its introduction
here include the proposition to hold
a compulsory assembly Mondav
morning at which the system will
be discussed.
Discussion of the honor system
was the main feature of an open
meeting held last Monday evening
in the John Marshall junior high
school auditorium. Before the meet¬
ing, presided over by Patrick and
attended by a mixed crowd of
about 150 club members, faculty
members, interested students and
student officials, was thrown open
for discussion, Morton Dryden, one
of the original sponsors, explained
the system, Trevor Gardner, chief
justice, emphasized the need of
some honor system, and Patrick
urged that this system receive the
support of those present.
The meeting started at '7:30 and
though closing officially at 8:30, it
actually continued unofficially for
more than an hour, with the most
debated point the method to be
used in choosing the members of
the Honor Councils which would
seek to help students brought be¬
fore them charged with cheating
or stealing.

been arranged for the afternoon
by the' Social Affairs Committee
headed by Alta Paquette. George
Rettie and his orchestra will pro¬
vide the music. Admission will be
by student body card.

hostesses for the dance, will be
introduced to the guests. A door
prize instead of a dance contest
will be a feature. This is the

Cox Elected
Council Chief
Newton Cox, M.O.S., was elect¬
ed president of the Restrictive In¬
ter-Club Council for the coming se¬
mester at the meeting held Wed¬
nesday morning. Other nominees
for the office were Ed Raymond,
Bruce Winton and Carolyn Munn.
Other newly elected officers were
Bertille Glanville, Alphometa, vice-
president; Helen Sperry, The Club,
secretary; and Bruce Winton, Are-
op, treasurer.

Friday, May 17, the Council voted
to give $25 to the school, athletic
fund. The money was obtained
from profits of the Men’s Inter-
Restrictive club dance held last
April at the Maryland hotel.
The question of changing restric¬
tive clubs to sororities and frater¬
nities was not voted on. It was
decided not to alter the present
plan, owing to the change of heart
of the administration and the club
members as well as the opinion of
the taxpayers in regard to frater¬
nities in public schools.

Voting Today
Is Simplified
Inaugurating a new system of
voting in today’s primary election,
the election board is hoping to gain
a record vote. Polling places will
be located throughout the entire
campus and each student can vote
1 at any one he desires, according to
Trevor Gardner, chief justice. Un¬
der the new arrangement balloting
will be facilitated in that the stu¬
dent will be able to vote at any
one of the booths without loss of
time. The only checking to be
done will be the punching or stamp¬
ing of the students’ identification
cards.
Candidates Speak
At this morning’s assembly each
candidate for the positions of stu¬
dent body president, and chief jus¬
tice will be given two minutes in
which he may express his platform
or campaign “promises.” Each of
the other candidates for the other
positions of A.M.S., A.W.S., senior,
junior, and sophomore presidents
will take the speaker’s platform
for one minute.
The election calendar as outlined
by Chief Justice Gardner includes
the primary election today, an elec¬
tion dance on Monday, June 3, at
which time the successful candi¬
dates in the primary election will
be announced, and final elections on
Wednesday, June 5.

sition have been held over for

band and Mast and Dagger mem¬
ber, were both declared ineligible.

lies in the races for chief justice,
senior representative, and A. M. S.
and A. W. S. president. In each
instance the two highest candidates
will run on the final ballot Wednes¬
day of next week. In a few offices
top-heavy favorites are expected to

the preliminary vote today. Follow¬
ing is a brief resume of the names
