'SGA Study To Reflect
Student Opinions ■—Harris
By BILL MACNABB
A serious lack of student response to Ihe University rules
evaluation has prompted Student Government to change
its approach in seeking definite proposals for additions and
revisions to rules.
"Student Government Policy
Decisions” was designated by
Student Body President Rullie
Harris as the new strategy to
be used.
Under this plan the Student
Government will become an ac
tive spokesman for the student

CampusCourseEvaluation
By BILL MacNABB
An experimental program in
which students would describe
and completely evaluate a par
ticular course and instructor
was proposed at a Student Sen
ate meeting Nov. 27.
The project would consist of
a course-teacher questionnaire
for students to use as a means
of evaluation. The results would
be computed and published
with proper editing.
Senate President Grady Ped-
rick said the idea originated
over a year ago and that a
committee has been working
toward definite plans since that
time.
A strong effort to explore
the effectiveness of teachers
and courses from the student
point of view has not been made
in the past. The proposed pro
gram would mark a new outlet
for student opinion.
Prior to Thanksgiving holi
days, the delegation chairmen
deans of their schools and
asked for suggestions as to
changes needed in University
rules.
Several of the chairmen re
ported to the Senate concern
ing the results of their meet
ings. Rules against cheating,
plagiarism and drug abuse were
prominent issues and the favor-
ability of a honor system was
brought forth.
Pedrick announced that a
new step would be taken by the
Student Government in its ap
proach to the rules study. He
said that the Senate would meet
jointly with the president’s
cabinet winter quarter at which
time definite proposals for
changes and additions to Uni
versity rules would be set up.
Pedrick acknowledged the
fact that the student body will
be given every opportunity to
react to the "Student Govern
ment Policy Decisions.” He said
that the step was being taken
because of the lack of support
ing student group and in
dividual proposals.
In other action a motion was
made that a workshop for the
purpose of setting up a state
wide association of student gov
ernments be sponsored by the
Senate. A greater voice in state
political actions which affect
the campus was cited as one
advantage of such an organiza
tion. The senators will vote on
the motion at a later meeting.
Wednesday’s meeting was the
last scheduled assembly of the
Senate until next quarter.

body and will formulate con-
rete proposals for changes and
revisions in rules.
Originally Student Govern
ment chose to act as co-ordina
tor of all proposals submitted
by members of the student
body. In accordance with tills
all organizations and individual
students were asked to submit
written suggestions for needed
changes in rules.
Harris said that due to a se
rious lack of response to this
method, Student Government
decided it must take an active
voice as respesentative of the
student body.
A joint meeting of the presi
dent’s cabinet and the Student
Senate will be held at the be
ginning of winter quarter. Pro
posals will be brought forth and
decisions made as to additions
and deletions to rules involving
any area which appears pertin
ent to developing a definite pol

President Harris emphasized
that Student Government has
no intention of presenting pro
posals to the administration

fraternity.
Gugin added that there are many pos
sible definitions for honor and that what
one has to say depends on this definition.
"An honorable life is one consistent
with an implied moral code imposed by
the person."
Gugin, a professor of political science,
stressed than honor cannot be imposed
from outside on a person who is living
in a way consistent with an internal, self-
instructed kind of values.
“If you compromise your inner set of
principles, you distort your behavior to
conform to other patterns,” he said.
“Honor is self-imposed, and ‘dishonor’
(to one's principles) is other-imposed."
Gugin said that in the University en
vironment, the administration is the legit
imate body of authority, the legitimate
locus of coercion necessary to keep us
together.
“It is impossible for the University to
speak of honor codes by definition when
it reserves the right to punish and sanc
tion behavior,” he added. “We are really
talking about the University's concept of
honor.”
Referring to the honor dormitory,
Gugin said that this concept requires hon
or residents to accept an outside defini
tion of honor and then police themselves.
Gugin quoted two sections of the con
stitution of Lipscomb Hall, noting that
they were "ironic.” He said that In Sec
tion One, residents are provided the op
portunity for self-expression and self-
discipline, while Section Four provides
for a Judiciary Committee to handle all
cases concerning infractions.
"This Is a vicarious kind of imbalance,"
he said, adding that such imbalances are
not unnecessary.
Gugin said that in an honor dorm, de
signed on the definition he had presented,
there would be no transgressions because
all would live honorably according to
their principles.
"The life of an honorable person is a
grim sort of life; it’s often uncomfor
table,” Gugin said, adding that he was
speaking in abstract terms.
