Honors College . . . ^(Continu'd from page 1) among the Honors College stu dents themselves or generate a similar attitude in general Uni versity students toward the Hon ors College. The other opposition to the dorm is that the students' out look would be decidedly narrow ed by only living with other students who are much like themselves. According to Chuck Pruitt, se nior in history, “the dormitory experience is a necessary one to broaden the outlook of a stu dent and to give him the chance to meet and live with people who are different in their views, back ground, and goals." Eliminate Experience Pruitt and several others said the Honors College dorm would eliminate this experience from the education of participating students. But others think the dormi tory would provide that bond which so many Honors College students find lacking in the pres ent structure. Mike Stapleton, senior in biol ogy- and pre-medicine, said that the dorm would be an academic and social benefit to freshmen mainly because it would orient them toward better intellectual work and “would provide an at mosphere in which they could work to their best potential.” Faculty Advisors Jane Rayner, junior in Eng lish, suggested that she would like to see such a dormitory with Petitions...

Gigl. Campaigning for the election begins today. The primary elec tion will be held next Wednesday, October 26. The general election will be held November 2. The ASUO is urging all stu dents to report violations of ASUO election rules to Sherry Jenovich at ext. 1181. Such viola tions will be prosecuted by the elections court. The following actions constitute violation of election rules: • Printed material posted on campus buildings. • Signs erected outside of the Student Union-Carson quad, the Gerlinger-Straub quad, or quad between the north end of the Library and 13th Avenue. • Signs hung from trees or staked into the ground. • Signs posted within 50 feet of polling places during voting in either the primary or general elections. • Wearing of personal promo tional tags by poll clerks or loitering voters during voting in either the primary or general election. • Any campaigning taking place, or any signs left up, after midnight the day prior to the general election. • Failure by candidates fail ing in the primary election to remove their promotional signs by noon of the day following the primary. • Use of sound equipment on cars for campaign purposes. • Any campaigning for the primary election after midnight of the day prior to the primary, and failure to remove campaign posters from polling areas before that time prior to the primary. faculty members and their wives as advisors. This would break down the barrier that now ex ists between faculty and students. In order to become well ac quainted with the faculty, a sit uation where both groups can feel comfortable and at ease is necessary. Such a dorm might provide that necessary situation. Another reason given for the lack of community feeling is that incoming freshmen are not inte grated into the group soon enough. They do not become ac quainted with more than one or two people many times until win ter or spring term. They be come disillusioned and disappoint ed. The idea of a retreat fall term with the purpose of acquainting freshmen with the system and the other members is highly rec ommended by both faculty and students. Another frequently - repeated complaint of the Honors College is that the core courses are too rigid. Although most students agree that the core-program is very good, they would like to see more variety in the courses of fered. Several students also sug gested that perhaps a culture course could be added. This would introduce students to fields of art and music. Students were almost unani mously dissatisfied with the his tory program as it is. Too Much Reading They say the course requires too much reading for non-history majors. The department tries to cram too much depth into too little time and never covers the last 50 to 100 years of the course. Although the specified decades are to be covered this year, the reading load for each period has not been reduced. Chuck Pruitt said of the Hon ors College that “the vision has not worked out. It is not really an Honors College but an opportu nity school for a certain part of the student body." Pruitt seems to be in the mi nority, however. Most students feel that the program is better than any education that is of fered in the state. As Ruthann Holcom stated, the student dis content is a good thing because “the more we talk about it the better we can make it.” Numismatics Role To Be Discussed George C. Miles, executive di rector of the American Numis matic Society, will speak on the role of numismatics in archaeol ogy Thursday at 8 p.m. in Law rence Hall.

After faculty members several times asked for an expression of student opinion on Aberle’s mo tion, one student member, Joe Fashing, said he thinks the mo tion would be turned down, three to one, by students with draft deferments. Better Estimate Several faculty members of the Council indicated they wanted a better estimate than that, how ever. The question of what stu dents think about University non cooperation with the draft will be first on the agenda when the Council meets in two weeks.

"It’s something they will have to work out among themselves," he .said. An ASUO Senate bill is in the works to say what the Senate thinks is student opinion. “Perverts Purpose" "Involvement with the selective service perverts the purpose of grading,” Abcrle said. "When I grade, I hate to be faced with i the choice of sending u student to Viet Nam.” By releasing class standings.! Aberle said, the University is in- i fluencing students to take easier courses and to be less eager to question and debate in class. Drummonds questioned whether Aberle's motion would have any cfTect. Students could still obtain a transcript for their draft boards. But information that would allow draft boards to compare a, student’s GPA to the rest of his class and compute his ranking would probably not be m a d e available, said Clifford Constance, University registrar. Too Weak Drummonds and Dave McClos key, student members of the Council, both objected that Aberle was not making his motion strong enough. "If your motion support ed the condemnation of the draft and said this was a tactical move to make it bar d <■ r for draft boards to do their job, then I could go a 1 o n g with it,” said Drummonds. In its present form, McCloskey said t h a t passing the motion would allow the faculty "to wash its hands” of the draft question. Aberle replied that what they wanted was the abolition of the draft, hut that wasn’t possible, lie called his motion "the maxi mum disengagement w e c a n achieve and the minimum desir able." Other Business Knrlier in the meeting, the Council put ofT a motion post poned from two weeks ago that would formalize its procedure in reporting to the Faculty Senate and to general faculty meetings. The motion would require the Council to notify the Faculty Sen ate before taking its position on a pending motion to the general faculty. Among other business piling up on the Council is a similar motion by ASUO Vice-President I-ee Bol linger. Both the Council and the ASUO Senate woull be given a position in the general faculty meetings comparable to the Fac ulty Senate with power to re view and initiate faculty motions. A pass no-pass grade proposal is also in the works. fight it. Get Eaton’s Corrasable Bond Typewriter Paper. Mistakes don’t show. A mis-key completely disappears from the special surface.
