New Phone
Building
The executive committee of
the Board of Trustees has au
thorized the drawing of plans,
for the construction of a cam-j
pus telephone building to
meet the needs of the growing'
telephone system at the Uni
versity.
The- proposed building would
be located on central campus and
would provide facilities for the
new department of security as
well as for the telephone equip
ment.
The new building would bring
to a central location all of the
lelephone equipment currently
in use and would house dialing
system equipment and switch
boards that would serve all
campus phones.
Centralizing the equipment in
one building will make it possible
to have a separate exchange to
serve all campus telephones. The
proposed system also will be
easily adapted to long-distance
dialing.
Both the administrative board
cf 2000 lines, and the residence
hall board of 1520 lines are load
ed to near capacity.
At present, a manual switch
board for telephones in residence
balls on east campus is located
in Simmons Hall. The dialing sys
tem equipment and switchboard
for administrative office tele
phones and telephones located in
residence halls on west campus
is located in Willard Building.
Additional facilities will be
needed before telephones can
be installed in the men's resi
dence halls now under construc
tion south of Park Avenue.
Therefore it is expected that
the new telephone facilities will
be completed by Fall 1959
when the new residence halls
are scheduled for occupancy.
The new system is planned
after detailed studies by engineers
of the Beil Telephone Co. of Penn
sylvania and University person
nel It will make possible more
efficient operation of the campus
telephone system.
Outing Group to Meet Tonight
The Field and Stream Division
of the Outing 'Club will hold a
meeting at 7 tonight in 317 Wil

The University Senate will distribute copies of a “sample
charter’’ to be used by any departments, colleges or other
divisions interested in establishing an honor system.
The Senate on Nov. 7 made a revision in the Rules for
Undergraduate Students .to make an honor system legal.
The rule calling for examina-j
t:ons to he “adequately proc- (
tortd" was amended to providej
that "a formal honor system un
der the supervision of an Honor;
Council is considered ‘adequate
prcctonng'."
The sample charter covers pur
pose, scope, student responsibili
ties and privileges, faculty re
sponsibilities, procedural details
and the make-up and duties of an’
Honor Council. I
Under “privileges of students,”)
,the charter states that the pro-;
fessor, after passing out the exam-j
ination. “shall leave the exami-l
nation room, returning at the end!
of the exam to pick up the papers.!
! Students may leave the exam)
■room freely during the exam to*:
visit the lavatory, to have a.'
!smoke, or for any other legitimate,'
reason.” j
This privilege and the follow-j
ing provision make up the kernel:
of the honor system: Faculty
members “shall assume that alii
; participating students are behav-j
ing honestly until clear evidence
to the contrary is presented. Re-1
sponsibility for enforcing class-j
room honesty under this honor:
system belongs primarily to the
students.”
Students would not be required!
to participate in the honor sys-l
tem, but all those who do will t
