Editor: As long as there has been so much discfission on that institution known as the "honor system", maybe it should be examined closely as to its operation. I, personally, believe that there' is no more honor in the "honor system" than any other one. If an individual is honest under one system, he will be honest under all others. If he refrains from cheating under the proctor system be­ cause of fear of discovery, he will re­ frain from cheating in the honor system for the same reason. The only differ­ ence is that he will fear his fellow stu^ dent rathei- than the proctor. ^^ How about the one who reports the ^ offender? This is of course, assuming that there is one. Is he doing so be­ cause he is bound to do so out of honor, or because he feels his grades will be lower than the grades of those who do wear it without for sports. cheat? I don't know of anyone who is actual­ ly motivated by honor in this system more than any other.

March 7, 1952 Honor System Again m Bill Riley: m# Your article in "The Back Page" of the February 29 SCHOLASTIC seems to me to hit the nail on the head. In re­ gard to an honor system, I feel that it is out of place now. There is nothing wrong with the honor code, except that it is in direct opposition to the one we have. You are quite right. I feel that if we were to receive the honor code, it would have to cover all phases of school life, not just exams. A half way intro­ duction would be nothing more than a farce. To coin an old expression, it would separate the man from the boys. I feel that anyone who could not adjust him­ self to the honor system, after a period of one or two months, does not belong in this, or any other university. This is just a paraphrase of the last para­ graph on page 14 of the student man­ ual. Many feel that it would require too much time and work to change over to the honor code, due to the lack of ~- .'yozx>fe> CHna>(^ Student Council power and the set views of the university. But I sincerely u^>u..o^«.cte.)..„'>ja^^«A^ i...... think that if the honor code were in­ stituted next semester, it could be made to work, if it had the support of the majority and the administration.

March 7. 1952 11 ND 2500-Pint Pledge Swamps Red Cross With over 2500 pints of blood pledged by ND students in the recent campus blood drive, Notre Dame has an ex­ cellent chance to lead all the nation's colleges—if the pledged blood can be collected by the Red Cross. Even if a thousand of the volunteers should be unable to contribute, Notre Dame may still move into first place. At last report, the University of Idaho led with one-third of its students con­ tributing. The difficulty here lies in the re­ ported inability of the local Red Cross to pro\ide facilities to take the blood. . A bloodmobile has been promised to the University for April 3-4. Since only 300 pints can be drawn in a two-day period, additional facilities must be pro­ vided before Notre Dame can complete its donation. Two of the six students who man­ aged the campus drive conferred for MANN, KOFF, HILLYER, AND WINOGRAD several hours Tuesday with the South Coats and Ties Must Be Worn Bend Chapter chairman and the re­ gional field representative of the Red Cross.

It was primarily through this Novena that devotion to Our Lady of Fatima was propagated in this countiy. From the very beginning the Novena was a success and it was only a matter of months until it began to be adopted in various parishes throughout the country. Today, at the end of 15 years, the Sorrowful Mother Novena has been established in more than 2,000 churches in the United States and Canada. It has also been introduced in 31 foreign countries. Well over a million people attend these weekly devotions. A\ The devotions are carried on weekly in prisons, hospitals, convents, semin­ aries and colleges.
