the-next meeting of council; (3)
ignore -it completely.
If Leitzell vetoes the ordi
nance, or refuses to take any ac
tion before the next council
meeting, the bus stop can be es
tablished by a majority-plus-one
vote of council.

7 Honor System 7 For Penn State?
Other Colleges Have Succeeded
The University of Virginia, a
school of 2500 students, is one of
several institutions that has set
up and uses a system known as
the “Honor System.” ' Would it
be possible to'initiate such a
system of trust with the student
body at Penn State?
Although Penn State has a
much larger enrollment, . .and
many 'difficulties would natur
ally arise, there is some feeling
oh the campus that such-a plan
could, be- introduced here and
worked successfully.
Just what does such an honor made to some type of honor
••code include. As Lieut, P. W." court, possibly made up like the
Riddleberger, w}io has seen this - Tribunal, 'but preferably with

cheating, stealing and lying.” ■ much to the reputation of a- col-
Riddleberger pointed out that lege.

Kitchen Arrives
As the All-College Cabinet war
relief drive swings into its third
and final'day,'total contributions
reached $lOO, it was announced
last night. The campaign which
officially ends at 11 o’clock to

■kitchen will be. displayed in the
parking space in front of Recre
ation Hall between 10 a.m. and 3
p.m : . today - and will tour the
campus between classes, Dr. Nel
son W. Taylor, has announced.
The kitchen, equipped to serve
200 civilians at a time, has toured
over 1,000 miles on its way from
Ohio to the eastern seacoast
where it will be shipped to Brit
ain.
Arrangements to serve coffee
and . doughnuts at the kitchen to
morrow have been made by Dr.
Taylor and George Eckels, gen
eral manager of the western
Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and
West Virginia divisions of the
British War Relief Society, who
is taking the kitchen on tour.
Included in the equipment are
provisions to make 25 gallons of
hot liquids such as coffee and
soup and keep them hot six hours,
and light lunches while the kit
chen is- traveling.
More than 500 kitchens have
already been sent to the British

.. their desire to cooperate • with
such a system could it be suc
