It is a terrifying and huiniliating experience. And it usually occurs during the' most stressful time of a11- r::> -exams. Last year, Kevin Kroner had to take two more exams after he knew he was being charged for cheating on his Trusts & Estates exam. How anyone can be ex-pected to do this is beyond comprehension. As terrible as this eXJ>Crience is, the Honor System is not designed to ease the situation for the accused or even to afford him a process that gives him the benefit of the doubt. The presumption is one of guilt. The Honor Code does not work. It does not catch the real cheaters, because they are smart· enough not to get caught. Instead, it allows students to act as the school's police force and puts innocent people through a lot of anguish. The lack of action by last year's Judicial Council after receiving a reform proposal from students was infuriating. Fortunately, this year's Council is facing the problem .
