Controversy Arises Over Honor System
By HELEN SCOTT
The honor system proposed by the University Veterans organization has aroused much controversy on the campus since copies of it were sent to organized houses about a week ago. It has inspired editorials, letters to the editor of the Daily Kansan, a meeting of all student presidents, and a petition against it.
But what do some of the students who haven't been busy writing about the honor system think about the plan?
The mention of the honor system literally "starts the wheels turning" for most of the students interviewed. If they had heard of the petition most students seemed to hold very definite ideas. Quite a few hadn't heard of the system and others reserved opinions because they hadn't read the entire petition.
Two college freshmen expressed a rather general opinion, "The idea of an honor system is great—getting it to work is another thing."
Marilyn Harper, college sophomore, commented, "I think it's good, but it would take quite a bit of time to it, so take it at KU so, it could really work.
"It might be taken advantage of maliciously. If a group held a personal grudge it might gang up on a person and turn in evidence which could oust him from the University," Leila Ratzlaff, fine arts sophomore, said.
Nancy Simone, college sophomore, said. "I don't think the honor system is a good idea for a university, but it would be very good for a smaller college or prep school."
Milstead Zahn, college freshman and an independent veteran, said, "At present the honor system cannot work at KU because few of the students are seriously concerned with getting an education."
Carol Schowengerdt, college sophomore, protested the idea because of "snitching" on individuals who used others ID cards. "Everyone would be 'snitching' on everyone else and for this reason I think it is impractical."
Kathryn Meredith, fine arts sophomore, expressed an opinion similar to that of several others interviewed. "The honor system
should be a more-or-less unwritten law. Habits are developed before college. If a person is going to cheat he will cheat anyway. Perhaps if the plan could be initiated in grade or high school it would work."
Of the students interviewed many favored an Honor System of some sort but none felt the proposed plan would be effective at KU.
