    Honor Code Backers
Renew Campus Effort
A new phase in the agitation for
an honor code at the University
of Oregon was started last week
on campus with the work of the
honor code orientation committee
in distributing pamphlets and
talking to freshmen. ,
Under the chairmanship of Bob
McCracken, sophomore in liberal
arts, the committee is attempting
to obtain a favorable attitude to
wards the code from a major part
of the student body. First step
was the distribution of the pam
phlet, “The Oregon Way,” which is
designed to create a desire for the
honor system among the incoming
freshmen. McCracken and Sue
Shreeve, sophomore in liberal arts,
spoke to the freshmen living or
ganizations as a part of the orien
tation program last week.
Next step will be a campaign to
enlist the support of old students
and faculty members. The orienta
tion committee is currently plan

A year ago last spring term the
honor code was passed by a ma
jority of 5.2 per cent in an elec
tion in which only 51 per cent of
the student body voted. This was
declared too slim a majority for
the code to be enacted effectively.
Last year the ASUO voted to
establish an honor code commit
tee with a primary purpose of
orientation. No date has been set
for an election on the honor code
proposal, but McCracken claims
that such an election is definitely
possible this year.

When you smoke Chesterfield it’s
so satisfying to know that you are
getting the one cigarette that's low
in nicotine, highest in quality.
A fact proved by chemical
analyses of the country’s six
leading cigarette brands.
And it's so satisfying to know that
a doctor reports no adverse effects
to the nose, throat and sinuses
from smoking Chesterfield.
The doctor’s report is part of
a program supervised by a
responsible independent re
search laboratory and is based
on thorough bi-monthly exam
inations of a group of Chester
field smokers over a period of
a year and a half.
