FINAL EXAMS still a cou— ple of weeks away, there are re- porte making" the rounds that some instructors and professoro are malt— ing plans to have the finals in their couroco moved up in advance of the ochcdulcd dates. The reason usu~ ally given l5 that it imposes; too l great a hardship upon the instruc- . tor to have his papchlgrodcd after i the connector ends; while thcrc are still classes, student graders are available. Maybe there are cases where this procedure isn’t especially out of line, ond there may be cases where if, it is actually better, from the stu» ll dent’s viewpoint to have the exams early. But it would appear that in most instances, it is unfair to‘ ex~ poet a final exam to he given dur- ing a period when a person must i write reports and hand in‘ daily work in addition to studying for 3 finale. Final exam schedules were drawn up so that undivided attention can i be given to study: They Should be l used. ’ NEXT SEMESTER WILL start i with ‘o bang for the party boys: ‘ So far, every class but the jun- , iors have dances and parties planned for the middle of next month: The juniors just had , their big dance, or they’d have one, 1 too.

Jim Brophy, Honor Board chair‘ man, in speaking for the Board gave the following statement: “1. The honor system is not function- ing as; it should. 2. The Honor sys- tem has been kept alive in the past few semeoters through the effortsl: of only a few men. 3. The coopera- tion of neither the faculty no]: the students has been satisfactory. 4.. The! majority of the present sto- dcnt body is antagonistic toward the Honor system. In view of the above conclusions, the Honor Board, submits, the following cccommcndav tion: That the Honor system be suspended for a period of two years and at that time the advisability» . of reinstituting the system he exam<~ incd." . This; request for suspenoion of the honor system will be presented to the ITSA for action.

Many present veteran students, who returned to Il'l.‘ after their period of service, remcmbor the efforts exerted by the leading students of 1943 to establish the democratic system. Now the board, on its own recommendation, will as]; the ITSA to inactivate it. It feels that it is not able to pen form its duties due to the serious lack of cooperation.a D The ITSA will meet tomorrow at 4:45 in the east dining room for their regular meeting at which time the decision on the life of the sys- tem will be handed down. Under the present honor system the board is composed of eight elect ed members and a chairman em- powered to hear cases of cheating and submit recommendations for dismissal from the school or other lesser punishment. The. recommen‘ «lotions were invariably accepted by the faculty disciplinary committee. If the ITSA suspends the honor system, the responsibility of cm forcing rules of honesty will fall into the lap of the individual in» strucioi‘s, backed by the disciplinary committee.
