Almost as if in answer to
last week’s request for stu
dents to communicate their
ideas, the following reprint
was culled from a student
publication. The Armstrong
State College Newman Stu
dent Federation has a mimeo
graphed newspaper called the
Imprinter. The young author
is representative of thought
ful college students.
THE HONOR SYSTEM - WILL
IT WORK?
Last winter, the students of
Armstrong State voted to adopt
the Honor System. Armstrong
thus became the first college
in the University System of
Georgia to have such an ho
nor system.
The concept of the Honor
System is a good idea. It
gives the students a degree
of self-government, but the
bulk of authority still lies
with the administration, which
is right.
The resolution passed by
the students is generally ac
ceptable. The composition of
the Honor Council and quali
fications for membership in it
NEXT SUMMER
is fair to all classes, and a
person accused of dishonesty
will receive a fair hearing.
Indeed, the only flaw in
the entire Honor System is
in its execution. It simply
won’t work. The reasons for
this are easily seen. First,
an honest person is not going
to cheat whether there is an
honor system or not. He can
be trusted. For him an honor
system is not needed.
A person does not begin to
cheat in college. If he cheats
in college, chances are he
has cheated through high
school, and once a person has
cheated he has shown that
he thinks little of honesty or
an honor system. He cannot
be trusted. Therefore, reason
number two is that a cheater,
a dishonest persoh, will cheat
whether there is an honor
system or not. Signing his
name to an honor pledge will
not stop him from cheating.
About the only Honor Sys
tem that will work is for the
Honor Council to send out a
team of watchdogs to look for
cheaters. These cheaters will
have to be reported to the
council by someone else be
cause it is a sure bet that
they are not going to report
themselves.
The big flaw of ASC’s Honor
System, or any honor code
for that matter, is that it
places too much trust in those
who can not be trusted.

Mercy Sisters
Change Habit
BETHESDA, Md. (NC)—The
135-year-old religious habit of
7,500 Religious Sisters of
Mercy in the United States
and mission territories will
be modernized.
The new habit, designed to
conform with the changing
needs and activities of the
Sisters of Mercy today, is, ac
cording to Mother Mary Re
gina Cunningham, mother gen
eral of the community, “aha
bit of simple grace and mo
desty while also a functional
attire that reflects the reli
gious trends of our age and
the increased and varied
works in the apostolate.”
The new basic habit is of
dark navy blue, with a com
bination of 45% wool and 55%
Dacron polyestorfiber.lt con
sists of a white sharkskin
cowl collar and a one-piece
navy blue semi-scapular at
tached to a cloth belt at the
waist.
The skirt, extending to ap
proximately mid-calf length,
has four inverted full-length
pleats in front and back. Black
hose with optional black
leather pumps or oxford shoes
complement the new garb.
An extremely versatile con
temporary coat of navy blue
with removable pile liner is
used according to weather
conditions. Black gloves ac
cent the outer coat.
Attachments such as the
crucifix and the rosary are
gone, but the symbolical veil
of black batiste is retained.
The veil adjoins a wool-co
vered crescent over a cap with
three tiers of white Dacron
sharkskin in the front. The veil
itself falls to the lower edge
of the belt across the back
and shoulders.
“We think the new habit
has all the essential attri
butes the Second Vatican
Council recommended for re
ligious women’s habits,”
Mother Mary Regina said. “It
is simple, economical, mo
dest, hygienic, up to date,
practical and becoming.
“Conversion from the old
to the new habit will take place
probably in the summer of
1966,” she stated.

BLESSING OF CARS — The Reverend Mario di
Leila, O.F.M., pastor of St. Augustine’s, Thomas-
ville, blesses automobiles of parishioners. Blessing
was held on Sunday, Oct. 31—Feast of Christ the
King. This was also the last day for inspection of
cars 'according to Georgia’s new Motor Vehicle In
spection Law. *
THOMA S VILLE CEREMONY
Mechanical, Spiritual Safety
Highlighted At Blessing Of Cars
The Church, through the
clergy keeps a never-ending
watch over the souls of the
Faithful with prayers for their
eternal life. Public Safety
Officals keep a never-
ending watch over the bodily
protection of the citizens. So
it is in conjunction with their
Safety Campaign that St. Au
gustine’s Church, Thomas -
ville, held their Blessing of
Cars ceremony.
In the days of King Arthur,
the Knights of the Round Table
fortified themselves with all
the material protection of ar
mor. However, before going on
a Crusade, they invoked a
blessing from God for their
safety and the success of their
mission. Further, history re
veals that the old sea captains
always had their new craft
blessed before going on a voy
age. This was particularly
true in New Orleans, where
priests blessed each ship be
fore sailing, asking God to
watch over the ship and to
protect the crew.
October 31st was the last
day in the state of Georgia
to have a Safety Car Inspec
tion. It was the wish of parish
ioners to have their cars bles
sed on this date, “THE FEAST
OF CHRIST THE KING“ who
rules the world and has ever
lasting power to protect
everyone.
The purpose of the State’s
Inspection is to provide safety
on city streets and state high
ways—safety for the driver,
safety for the passengers
riding in the car, and lastly
safety for pedestrians walking
on the streets and crossing
the highways. All autos pass
ing this inspection bear a
yellow sticker. This serves
as notice to all that “THIS
IS A SAFE CAR“. But what
about the driver? Is he a safe
driver?
In conformity with the State
Safety Inspection Campaign,
Catholics of St. Augustine’s
parish felt a second step was
necessary to assure safety
on the highways. So, they chose
Sunday October 31st as the
day to have their cars blessed.
This blessing was done pub
licly. City officials closed the
street in front of the church,
provided a traffic officer to
allow only the cars to be
blessed to enter. Father Mario
Di Leila, O.F.M., vested in
surplice, stole and cope ac
companied by two acolytes,
sprinkled the cars with holy
water and invoked God’s bles
sing on them. The prayer
begs God to grant safety to
the driver, safety to the pass
engers, and safety to pedes
trians.
Father Di LeUa voiced the
hope that all would think of
the words of this prayer each
time a car is entered and pray
a silent prayer, “Oh God,
grant that I return safely—
grant, too, that all whom I
meet this day will return
safely”.
Intention of the prayer is to
impress upon the heart of
every driver an awareness of
his constant obligation and
reponsibility to safeguard the
lives of others, and of his
duty to obey all traffic laws
and regulations. “For obe
dience to all lawful authority
is binding upon the conscience
of each individual,” said Fa
ther Di Leila. “If this is main
tained, there will be more
courtesy visible on our
streets, in our city and on the
state’s highways.”
A little p raye r w ritten year s
ago sums up the purpose of
the Blessing ceremony.
Grant me, Oh Sacred Heart,
a steady hand and watchful
eye, That no one shall be hurt
as I pass by. Thou gavest life,
I pray no act of mine may
take away or mar that Gift
of Thine. Shelter those, Dear
Lord, who bear me company,
From the evils of fire and all
calamity. Teach me to use my
car for others’ need; And not
to miss, through undue speed,
The beauty of the world; that
thus I may With joy and cour
tesy, go on my way.

Augusta C.Y.O. Breakfast
St. Mary’s CYO (Augusta) is sponsoring a city-wide break
fast to be held at Aquinas High School on Sunday, November
14th at 9:30 a.m. The purpose is to get as many members from

might, in the future, lead to other joint efforts in various pro
jects. The guest speaker will be the Reverend John J. Murphy

here in Augusta. Mrs. Georgia Bailey is in charge of “mother-
volunteers” who will prepare and serve the breakfast.
