The council, in dis&issing the honor system at its meeting last night, favored modifying the plan as originally conceived so that each coarse included would have to be approved lagain each semester. Glenn Rees, academic honesty committee chairman, told the council that the honor system should be limited to 'juniors and seniors but that course numbers should not be an important con sideration. In other councils it' has been suggested that the honor syStem be used only in courses of the 100 or higher level. In other business, the council proposed a study of the possibil ity of revising University Catalog descriptions of Mineral Industries curriculums so as to increase freshman interest in the college. A-V Featured in New Library Exhibit ' By BARBARA GREENWALD What is A-V? This question introduces the new exhibit - at Pattee Library. A-V is active learning through audio-visual aids. It is the process of learning through direct use of the senses with specimens, models and oth er materials removed• from the abstract symbols of the printed page. A-V is not a new theory. In fact, audio-visual learning can be traced back to the era of the caveman, and it was employed by all pre-literate societies. With the arrival of the written word, progressive civil izations entered the literate era. In the beginning, written language was not universally popular.

The least drastic of these measures— cutting sophomore driving privileges —is being given serious consideration by the dean of men's office. Such action would follow the ban on freshman driving started in 1955. The closing of Pollock Road,' prohibiting any student cars on campus and a campus parking fee are being studied by a com mittee headed by Elwood F. 01- ver, director of the Division of Security. Two recommendations from the '57 Encampment were adopted, but each specified a parking ban rather than opening more areas for handling the autos. - Encampment recommended parking bans on Shortlidge Road, in front of Simmons and McElwain residence halls and on College Avenue along the new women's dormitories. Both are now in effect. Encampment also recommend ed a feasibility - study into a parking fee, which is now being made. No matter what action the Uni have to choose soon since the en rollment is expected to reach 25,- 000 in 10 years. tem •tries - Stu ecommend I .m, first in !ms, and, if 'throughout ly to the new practice of putting things in writing.

To be written into the council's constitution and by-laws, the amendment must be passed at the next meeting. Under present conditions (edi torial staff selected by retiring staff) Alan Lipner, vice president, said the Bulletin "doesn't serve the fullest interest of the coun cil. The Council pays completely (for the publication) and feels the Bulletin should be responsible to council," he added. Treasurer Ted Moyer, who made the amendment motion, said the BizAd Bulletin "con sumes four times as much money as any other council-supported organization." Max Perlmutter, present Bul letin editor, said the amendment "is a wise thing in that the Bul letin is supported by the council which is the sounding board for the business undergraduate stu dents." • teaching can turn to well-organ ized sources of information to aid him in selecting appropriate in structional materials. A-V is now recognized by the major professional groups. A variety of periodicals carry regular kaal tire Information about, or reviews of, materials of interest to their readers. The University employs well over 5000 uses of audio-visual aids and equipment a year in the forms of motion pictures, records and film strips. This figure does not include the use of department equipment. • ON , CAMPUS INTERrpVS I OCTOBER 10 - • -- State May Be Asked For 18-Yea r-Old Vote A graduated income tax and the 18-year-old vote may be proposed to the state legislature by a commission to revise the state constitution. Dr. M. Nelson McGeary, head of the Department of Political Science and a member of the 15-man commission, says he expects some improve ments to be made but he Is not sure what they will be. The commission has not decid ed Frosh Board what suggestions it will make to the legislature. Other possible proposals include: *That the governor be able to succeed himself. At the present time the governor must wait out one term before he runs for re election, !That the legislature meet an nually instead of biennially. •That debt- limits imposed in thepresent consitution be remov ed. The state is not allowed to borrow more than $1 million with out the people's consent. McGeary said he is almost certain this "very unrealistic" limit will be changed. *That reapportionment of the ,legislature as provided in the con stitution after each census be made mandatory. The House of Representatives has not been re apportioned since 1921. •That the Secretary of Intern al Affairs be appointed by the governor rather than be elected. •That boroughs and counties be able to choose their own form of local government—strong may or, weak mayor, commission or city manage': A suggestion that the word "God" be omitted from the con stitution was killed by the com mittee. The commission must report to the state legislature by January 1959. The report will either pro pose the constitution be changed through a series of amendments or through a constitutional con vention to rewrite it. The legislature must pass an amendment twice. The amend ment is then referred to the peo ple.

The advisory board voted down a proposal to ask the class of 1962 to help in the survey. The board will also conduct a get-out-the vote campaign for the fall freshman and sophomore class elections. Pleas at residence hail meetings, posters and handbills will be included in the campaign. Board members voted to give themselves shingles rather than shingles and keys. Richard Hab der, freshman class vice presi dent, said this is the first time any advisory board has received shingles. The board received six letters from advisory boards of other colleges. Letters had been sent to 15 advisory boards last year and nine had been answered. The purpose of the project was to trade suggestions. No sugges tions were received from other advisory boards.
