Lieut. Perlow
Tells Operation
Of Honor System |
Mount Rotarians Tuesday

Lieut. Joseph Perlow, recent-

where he was track captain and
indoor pole vault champion,
explained fully the operation of
the honor system.
The honor system is based on
three cardinal principles: no
1ving, no cheating, and no steal
ing. Any cadet reported in vio-
lation is thoroughly screened
by the honor committee.
