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. Aris

to this mounting problem were hashed out in the 1957 Student En
er Encampments for the past several years.
step the University will take is to be seen, but some courses of action
being considered are:
o Closing off Pollock Road
from Shortlidge Road to Bur
rowes Road.
oProhibiting students f r am!
having cars anywhere on cam
pus.'
*Charging a fee for campus
parking.
•Withdrawing driving privi
leges from sophomores.
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.

BA Council
To Govern
'Bulletin'
A constitutional amendment to
make the BizAd Bulletin directly
responsible to the Business Ad
ministration Student Council,
passed its first reading at last
night's council meeting.
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." •

The University employs well
over 5000 uses of audio-visual

forms of motion pictures, records

not include the use of department

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.
If the legislature votes for a
convention, McGeary said thepeo

Will Survey
Coed Housing
A freshman class ad viso r y
board survey on freshman wom
en's housing will be completed in
two or three weeks.
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.
