Council Chairman Plans Streamlined Honor Code By SHARLENE SCHOP Hurncint Copy Uitor "The honor code is going to be streamlined and made more effective," said Allan Rosenbaum, chairman of the Honor Council. “Presently the code is not as realistic as it should be,” he leveled. “One of our goals will be to make students more aware that the code is applicable and that it will be used.” The Honor Council, which enforces the honor code, will also undergo change in the near future, Rosenbaum said. It will be enlarged and set up on a revolving basis “to relieve some pressure from current members.” The council consists of three undergraduate students, a fac- ulty member, and an administration representative who are all appointed by Jay F. W. Pearson, president of UM. It deals with academic violations such as cheating and plagiarism under the student government constitution. The council conducts hearings for violators of the code and determines guilt or innocence. It has the power to expel a student or place him on probation. Rosenbaum noted that “most students do not realize the strength of this council.” Before the proposed changes * can be adopted, they must be approved by the Honor Council, Undergraduate Student Government, and Dean of Students Noble Hendrix. The changes proposed last year were rejected because they “were poorly thought out,” according to Executive Vice President Dr. Robert Johns. “The new proposals will be more organized and more workable than last year's,” said Rosenbaum. In addition to Rosenbaum, members of the council are seniors Gregory Zell and Ber-nie Weiner, Professor John Stevens of the Engineering Department, and Assistant Dean of University College Frank Wills. Administrative assistant to the council is Miss Mary Elizabeth Lawrence, a junior. She gathers evidence for Honor Council cases and presents it to the council to aid them in their decisions. tKMHMMMP Canes Try For TV Win — (Again) o « ♦ Dr. Robert Johns, UM Executive Vice President, has issued a 19-point regulatory policy directly affecting the 23 national fraternities on this campus.
