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

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.
Miles has been a member of
the faculty at Princeton Univer
sity in Oriental Languages.
During the 30’s he excavated
in Persia, and for the last ten
years he has been involved in
mediaeval archaeological explo
ration in Greece.
A former visiting lecturer at
the University of Alexandria
(1053-54), Miles is presently a
member of the executive commit
tee and the managing committee
of the American School of Classi
cal Studies in Athens.
He has recently concerned him
self mainly with Arab-Byzantine
relations in Greece.

ferments, the “most available”
supply after that.
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.

member of the Council, moved for
postponement for the second time
in order to hear student opinion.
"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.
