Senate Probes Honor System
The possibilities of an honor system have been discussed in the student senate. It is, however, still in the research stage.
An Investigating committee has been appointed by the senate to look into the matter. The committee will write to other colleges and universities, wdio use the honor system, for information concerning how it works and its effects.
The committee will also talk to the studenta and faculty to get their ideas on the subject. Later on, a poll will be conducted to obtain the entire reaction of the students.
If the students voted the honor system into effect, the Constitution of the student association would have to be changed to provide for rules and regulations to govern the system.
With the honor system there would be set up an honor court. This court would try cases of students who violated the system.
Charlie Franklin, president of the student association, said that he believed with the proper education and administration of the honor system it would work, and that the University of Miami would no* be as high scholastically as it hopes to be until it has an honor system.

These arrangements must be made prior to the closing of the business office on Jan. 27 if cards and coupons are to be picked up on the two days mentioned. However, students may continue to clear their cards through the business office on Jan 28 through 31, and thus avoid the congestion of making payments during the regular registration period.
Student cards and coupons in this rase will be given out in Block 8, beginning on Tuesday, Feb. 4. Inasmuch as students must preesnt a class coupon as a ticket of admittance to class, it is imperative that coupons be picked up promptly and be saved carefully. New coupons will be issued to replace Inst ones only after the delay of l thorough investigation, and after the payment of a two-dollar fee for each coupon lost.

War Memorial Plan Continued
In a meeting this week between President Bowman F. Ashe, and Charlie Franklin, president of the Senate and student body, it 'Yas suggested that a World War II memorial be established in the new classroom building to be erected on the site of the abandoned concrete skeleton structure located on the Main Campus.
Franklin, who proposed the memorial to former students of the University of Miami who were killed in the armed forces, was assured that some building will be dedicated, if plans for the present site fall through
The student president outlined a program for the new building, stating that plaques bearing the names of all students who made the -“supreme sacrifice” together with pertinent information would be placed in this building.
In addition, Franklin asked, that “a University of Miami World War II Memorial fund be established'’ to assist children of students killed in service in obtaining an education at this college when they reach university age.
He declared that the scholarship fund might be obtained by setting aside $150 or more each semester from the Student Association Fund Contributions to this fund would amount to $15,000 in 15 years, and it will be that long before the children are old enough to enter the University.
Franklin proposed an alternative use for the scholarship fund, in that a memorial scholarship be awarded annually to an outstanding high chool graduate who lacks sufficient finances to attend the University.
