Talks Possibility
Of Honor System
Tbc possibility of an honor
s\stem at Oregon was the main
point of discussion at the
Wednesday nij'ht s t u <1 c n t
court session. In addition to
the discussion of an honor sys
tem, tines were paid try traf
fic offenders.
The discussion of an honor sys
tem was brought up when Mike
Adams, chairman of the court, re
ported that a student committee
had been by appointed ASUO
president Bill Carey, and that a
member of the student court was
to be on the committee.
John Beal, another member of
the court, suggested that the honor
system' be toed in one of the
smaller schools and if the plan
proved feasible, that it bo used on
the whole campus. The feeling of
the court was that the problem of
cheating was not entirely up to the
students. They were of the opinion
that the problem must be ap
proached from both the student
and the faculty level.
Public Test File
Court members favored a plan
whereby previous tests would be
put on file in the library and all
students would have a chance to
study for them. As it now stands,
only a few schools and the frater
nities and sororities have files of
previous tests,
Adams also reported that he
and Fred Kisser, another member
of the court, were to meet with the
disciplinary committee ar d find
out what duties the committee
wished to delegate to the court.
Other business discussed includ
ed the possibility of a meeting with
tiie planning commission, the
[court's office in the Student Union
and a system for handling tickets.
The next meeting is scheduled for
Nov. 28.

As an art major, Molly Muntzel.
queen candidate of Sigma Alpha
Epsilon and Pi Kappa Alpha, has
an enthusiasm for painting and
drawing. Her ambition is to work
whore her art education will be of
use after graduation. She was one j
of five students to design and paint
a mural for the Eugene Children's
hospital, and she holds a 1951 art
scholarship.
A member or Kappa Alpha The
ta, Miss Muntzel was a campus
finalist for the Revlon "Fashion
Plate" contest last year. She
weighs 127 pounds, is 5 foot 7‘...
inches in height, with ash blonde
hair and blue eyes.
The 21-year-old senior is from
Portland. She graduated from
Grant high school in the spring of |
1948 and has since attended the |
University of Oregon. Some of hei
college activities include 1949
Sophomore Whiskerino decoration
committee, 1949 Homecoming host
ess selection committee. Junior
Weekend slogan ("Far Away j
Places”) award, and Junior Week
end flying speech committee.
Miss Muntzel enjoys reading and
swimihing but she spends most of
her time at the art school "work
ing and exchanging ideas with the
other students about the usual
topic art."
Miss Muntzel’s opinion of Home
coming is that "the schedule is
more compact this year and cen
ters mainly on the game. It gives j
the alums a better chance to see I
all the Homecoming activities and :
it is planned so the students will
have a longer Thanksgiving vaca
tion."
NANCY MILLER I
Being a queen candidate is noth
ing new to Nancy Miller, 5 foot 5U.
inch brunette from Salem. While
still attending Salem high school,
Nancy was elected as queen of the '
city's 1950 Cherry festival. As a
freshman at the University of Ore
gon Miss Miller was a song queen
of the 1950-51 rally squad. During
winter term she was chosen as
Oregon’s candidate to the Univer- j
sity of Nevada's Winter Ski carni
val at Reno. She was crowned 1951
Snow Queen at that event.
Though a major in the school of
liberal arts, the candidate from
Kappa Alpha Theta is interested in
art work, particularly in intenor
design. She plans to make this her
career if possible. Besides art
work, she is also interested in
bowling, skiing and swimming. She
had ample opportunity to partici
pate in the latter activity this past
summer while attending the Uni
versity of Hawaii with a group of
college girls from Oregon and
other Pacific Coast schools.
When asked her opinion of the
1951 Homecoming events, the 19
year-old sophomore stated. "At
first the schedule seemed to con
flict with Thanksgiving holidays,
but I believe it has been worked
out to the best advantage so that
almost everyone will be able to
participate in the festivities.
"I know everyone is looking for
ward to Homecoming as much as
1 am. There is always so much
spirit expressed in the noise pa
rade. at the bonfire rally, and at
the game especially when it’s go
ing to be with Oregon State. Alum
ni and all are bound to have a
good time if they take advantage
of all the activities presented."
Miss Miller's activities include
Amphibians, Oregnna sales. Home
coming flying speeches and button
sales and decoration committee for
the Junior Weekend terrace dance.

Freshmen Grade
Progress Studied
Freshman progress report cards
which students arc filling out this ■
week are designed to permit the
freshman student to check his
progress in various classes, the of
fice of student affairs said.
The progress cards are not a
new project this year. They were
used last year but this is the first
time that they have been used on
such a large scale, the office re
ported.
The procedure for filling out
cards is this:
The dormitory counselors issue
i cards to every freshman student;
the student fills out the card and
returns it to the counselor; the
; cards are sent to the office of stu
dent affairs and assembled in the
; correct cla s section; they are then
; sent to various professors to be
igned and progress checked; final
ly they are sent back to the office
of students affairs and reassembl
ed to be sent to the counselors in
the dormitories.
Upper classmen are not included
in this project as they are expected
to know from previous experience
what their study faults are and
how they may correct them, the
office said.
Freshmen who live off campus
are referred to the office of stu
dent affairs if they need counsel
ing.

New Faculty Prices
(Picture «>n Pape Six)
The Student Union board Wed
nesday night unanimously moved
to extend the privilege of student
prices to all members of the fac
ulty, or the equivalent in rank, and
to persons in the office of the
chancellor and the State System
of Higher Education in Eugene, for
all Union functions.
Board members acted on the re
port of a sub-committee headed by
Donald M. DuShane, director of
student affairs, appointed last
week to study the faculty price j
policy. Eligible members of the
University family will receive non
transferablc cards to distinguish
them from townspeople. Members
of their- immediate families will
also be eligible for student prices.
Civil service employees of the
University will be granted the
privilege of student prices upon
cards. Students in the extension
individual application for the
division are not included as mem
bers of the University family and
therefore are not eligible for stu
dent prices.
Kmbossogruph to Begin Operation
Board chairman Ralph Hillier re
ported that the embossograph
(standardized poster) machine will
begin operations on Monday. Tat
Choat will be in charge of the op
erations. Services of the machine
will be available to any campus
organization at a nominal fee.
Action was initiated last year
by the board to acquire the em
bossograph for convenience of
campus organizations. Miss Choat
will hold regular office hours,
which will be posted, and organiza
tions may contact her during these
hours in room 33t5 of the Student
Union.

ASUO president "in the super
vision of the budgets of all clas»

'shall gather and file reports on
all ASUO and class activities and
advise chairmen of these events

"It is felt," Miss Van Loan said,
that "keeping reports on activities
s the specific function of the
people who carry out the activities.
As for the budget, it has always
r>een assigned to the president and
treasurer of the classes. There is
i0 reason for the social chairman

an appointive member of the cabi
net selected by the president, will
be to 'assist the ASUO president
m the coordination of all famous
social events.”
The senate may make the
amendment by two-thirds vote of
all its members. If the senate does
amend, it will be the first change
m the new document's history.
The constitution was adopted in
the Spring of 1950 and came into
effect in the fall of 1951.
ASUO president Bill Carey also
plans to ask the group to approve
a new non-elective officer-enter
tainment chairman—who will
serve on the cabinet. His choice for
the office is Gerry Pearson/ junior
m liberal arts.
Among the duties of the presi
dent. as prescribed by the constitu
tion. is one that "He mav create
new non-elective officers if ap
proved by a majority vote of the
senate.”
Miss Pearson described the office
as one which "would keep all en
tertainment activities at the presi
dent's fingertips." There is an en
tertainment committee functioning
at present, of which she is chair
man. So the cabinet job, she said,
did not mean the creation of a
"new" office.
A third report, that being made
by Athletic Chairman Jack Smith,
may also ask for constution re
vision. Smith's duties includes sup
ervision of the athletic committee,
rally board and intramural com
mittee.
Stray Wag Bests
Local Policeman
A horse got the best of a city
policeman Tuesday afternoon.
Answering a call by a woman
who complained that a stray
horse was ambling through her
neighborhood, the officer ex
plained it this way. “I contacted
the horse who showed writer
(the officer) the city limits sign
just 3 feet north of where he
was standing, so w riter could not
extradite under those conditions
and cleared.”
