THE CHOICE of Student Council Vice President of Organization (VPO) is an important one.
AS A CANDIDATE last year to represent the College of Arts and Sciences on the Honor Committee, I stated that I believed it was time to consider alternatives to the single sanction.
PROPONENTS OF the honor system in its current form are getting desperate, resorting not only to scare tactics in recent weeks, but also to blatantly lying about what the new referendum will do.
WHETHER OR not you support the single sanction, I urge you to vote no on the Sanction Reform Amendment.
Last week, Assistant Anthropology Prof. Wende Marshall, an outstanding scholar and mentor, was denied tenure.

TO SAY that the honor system is flawed would be an understatement. However, even the strongest proponents of reform should think twice about supporting the current referendum put forth by Hoos Against Single Sanction (HASS). Their proposed amendment to the honor constitution would do two things: 1) it would retain expulsion as the default punishment for honor offenses and 2) it would vastly expand the powers of the Honor Committee, by enabling them to sanction trivial honor offenses.Currently, the Committee operates in relative secrecy with little to no oversight, and is capable of making a number of significant errors that can greatly influence students? lives.
?SUNLIGHT is said to be the best of disinfectants.? These words were spoken by U.S.
IT?S A newspaper?s Holy Grail. And it?s not just about journalists? desire to be liked.
