Rejected By Two Hun- '
, dred Majority
00 VOTES WERE - CAST
Vote Against System and 1411'
Favor Retention Results
Conclusive
he final results of tlm,vote taken of
student body yesterday morning
w that nearly two thirds of the vot
er° In favor of the Honor System
• that ninety five per cent are
opposed to - the ' proposed amendments,
and, are desirous of keeping the
rules that- govern the present system.
The poll lasted from eight o'clock In
the morning tin one o'clock in the af
ternoon and during this time over twen
ty-two hundred east their ballots. The
unusually large veto was probably due
to the interest_that has arisen within
the student body and faculty since the
Student Council decided to place the
fate of the Honor System in the hands
of the student body. Within' the last
five weeks, talks have been given, let
ters written, with arguments both for
and agninst the system and a Tam
meeting held with the Purpose of pre
senting tae conditions before the stud
ents as they really exist. The outcome
of - this agitation is that the student
body wishes to retain the Honor System
as it has been in force fdr the not six
years and will not consider the proposed
changes in the Honor System regula
tion.
_ Large Attendance at kIaSS Meeting
The mass meeting last night was held
at the suggestion of the faculty. Stud
ent, Council, and Honor Committee.
, These bodies realized the need for some
manner in which to crystallize the
. sentiments of the students and all in
,terested tin tile - outcome of the vote
and no-plan offered the fulfillment - of
thesi-desires as did the one regarding
, the open mage,meetirm E- M. Aiken
president:of tim.Studene Council,
.-was.in-oblirkerat the - meeting and call
,ed,upon I"' G. Churelo2l, chairman of
the Honed Committee to present the
proposed amendments in a clear and
concise - manner and to give an impar
tial summary of the present condition
-of affairs Miss Julia G Brill '2l, who
'ls chairman of the ,Womeris Honor
Committee then presented some reso
lutions that were passed by the women
students of the college
One of the features of the evening
was the thorough consideration given
the subject under discussion by Presi
dent Thomas He cited many erg.-
meets both pro and con the system
based upon his experience with other
systems and upon the results of ob
servations while hero at the college
Ever since his coming to the college,
President Themes has been reading the
letters written by students and instruc
tors that' have been publolhed in the
Collegian week after week, and al
though he has been unable to come
Into direct contact with the system, he
has become acquainted with the needs
of the system as practiced hero. The
meeting was then opened to discussoin
and all possible viewpoints on the ques
tion were placed.
The Vote was Conclusive
Considering the kind of the weather
which prevailed through out the morn
ing and - the time allotted to the voting,
the large number who east their vote
can be considered as very satisfactory.
Out of the total number of students
enrolled In the-eh:Lases at the present
time which tomcats to three thousand,
over twenty-two hunched expressed
themselves by casting a vote Of this
number, eight hundred wee In favor
of abolishing the present system while
the remaining fourteen - hundred and
elovonv were dosinkus of retaining the
present system. This poll may be talk
as an accurate Indication of the
wishes of the student body since vote
was, so representative of the college
No ono was barred from voting as long
no he attended classes at the college
and the excellent manner in which the
poll was conducted admits of no possi
bility for error
The amendments as proposed by the
Honor Committee were rejected with
the small majority of ono hundred and
seventy-six. Of the total number vot
inf, seven hundred and eighty one
were in favor of accepting the amend
ments and thus changing the rules of
the present system, but, since nine hun
dred and fifty seven would not consider
this change, the final outcome frowne
on any such action. Thlti means that
the system now governing the taking of
- examinations and quizzes will remain
as it is unless changed by some netion
taken by the faculty or by future stud
ent amendments.

SOCCER TEAM PILOTS
- ELECTED BY SQUADS
First of Inter-class Series Re
sults in Win for Frosh—Game
Ends With 2-0 Score
The first game of the inter-class soc
cer furies resulted In a victory for the
first year men as evidenced by the two
points which they store able to pile up
while the Juniors were trying tonnnex
a single tally. The first half of the
games closely contested _for the
entire t wenty minutes and not until
the greater part of the second half
had passed were the Fresh able to se
cure their first pointer This came as
the result of a foul shot by Warner .24
Soon afterwards, the c'esond point of
the contest was secured when the
Freshmen wtaked the ball down to the
goal from the field. This made the
score 2-0 and so It remained until the
final whistle blow Tho referee for the
game was A. E James '2l, who played
on the varsity soccer team for the last
two years.

The remaining games of the series
will be played off In rapid sues/mien on
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons
until the end of the season ' which
will be on Alny'the twenty Drat when
