After three years, the Honor System looks
like it’s finally washed up. The Honor Board
the group elected by Il'l“ students to administer
enforcement of the System, will request that
the Honor System be suspended. Last week the
Board refused to handle a case 21nd asked that
the faculty di helpline committee act in its place.

Everything else has failed Perhaps an out-
1‘ight suspension of the System will succeed
where enforcement has failed.

But why has the Honor System failed to live
up to the hopes which were voiced by those
who introduced it to the lllinoie Tech campue?
in almost every other college where the system
has been in effect, it he 3 been observed by the
student hodies' 011' most campuses, it has he-
come a tradition to be honorable.

Has the Honor System failed because of a
failure of the honor of lliinois Tech men?
Frankly, we don’t know. it is true that one
cannot import a tradition and expect it to grow
overnight, but the fact remains that at lllinois
Tech, the tradition hasn’t grown any in those
years. Does the luck of growth indicate merely
a lack of interest, or more seriously, o. inch of
honor?

it would seem that the two would go to
gether, and it is obvious that lilinoio Tech stu»
dents just don’t give a damn about any Honor
System.

There doesn’t seem to be much doubt about it: for
tops in laughs, drama, and skillfully disguiseii and
pelatahly presented preaching, it’s a G. B. Show every

resurrected Pygmalion and in presenting it at the.

was so perfect and beautiful that he fell madly in love

marble was so great that Venus rewardetl his talent“3

and love by bringing: the statue to life. As for as i:
know the Greeks considered this the one of the story.
