Increase In Fees, IS on -Resident Tuition Approved
A general increase in fees and
non-resident tuition at Mary
Washington College has been ap-
proved for the 1968-69 session.
The increases as recommended
by College Chancellor, Dr.
Grellet C. Simpson, will amount
to $135 for Virginia residents
and $185 for out-of-state students.
Virginia residents now pay $1,-
200; next year they will pay
$1,335. Non-resident students pay
$1,850; nest year they will pay
$2,035.
The overall increase consists
of an additional $85 for general
college fees, bringing these from
$515 to $600; a $25 adjustment in
the residential (room) fee, from
$325 to $350; a $25 change in the
board fee, from $333 to $358;
and a $50 raise in out-of-state
tuition from $650 to $700.
In recommending the changes,
Dr. Simpson said "that despite
the substantial and very encour-
aging support of the College by the
Commonwelath and the Governor,
it is necessary to increase the
student fees in several areas in
order to keep these self-sus-
taining. This is required not only
in the auxiliary enterprises (pri-
marily board and room rent) but
also in the area of the educational
program of the College and its
related and sustaining opera-
tions."
Dr. Simpson also noted that
"no one wishes to increase the
cost of education, but in all fair-
the fees at Mary Wash-
ington, in terms of the quality
of education and facilities pro-
vided, are still quite modest."
Members of the Board ot Visitors meet with
Chancellor Simpson to discuss college fees.
Under the new constitution, the
Joint Council has been replaced
by the Judicial Review Court, and
the Judicial Council is no longer
campus -wide but a body particu-
lar to each dorm. Two seniors,
one junior, one sophomore, and
one freshman will constitute the
Review Board which, as its name
implies, will serve as an appel-
late court for cases tried in the
House Judicial Councils. The
dorm Council will be responsible
for handling all cases . Only in an
unprecedented case, or in a
judgement where the violator
feels she has been too severely
penalized, will the case be taken
to the Campus Review Board.
Pam Hogan, a candidate for one
of the Senior positions, as well
as Judy Weiner, Junior candidate,
Kathy Lewis, Sophomore candi-
date, and Barbara Greenlief,
Senior candidate all feel that
this system will eliminate from
the Board's agenda the petty
cases which at present are con-
stantly being dismissed from Ju-
dicial for lack of importance as
well as eliminating the rigid sys-
tem of automatic punishments
which are now in use. The exist-
ing punishments, they feel, should
be applied flexibly, depending
not solely upon the nature of the
offense but also upon the cir-
cumstances involved; cases
handled by the Judicial Council
to date should be used as guide-
lines for judgements in the com-
ing years. Flexibility, according
to the girls, should be the key to
the situation. Gloria Shelton,
Senior candidate, and Pam Hud-
son, Sophomore candidate, also
feel that guidelines are neces-
sary and will be obtained from
previous experience.
Also runningfor the sophomore
position are Barbara Hasko,
Mary Cutting, and Eleanor Tyng.
Only two girls are contesting
the junior representative's place:
Lynne Vandervoort and Judy
Wiener. There are three rising
seniors besides Pam Hogan,
Gloria Shelton, and Barb Green-
lief who are running for the
Court: Lou Matthews, Carol
Johnson, and Karen Kilgore.
Most of the candidates agree
that the role of the Campus
Review Board will be to create
an "efficient and equitable" sys-
tem and to help the dorms to
do the same thing.
Lou Matthews, praised the au-
tonomy of the dorms which the
new system provides. She, like
Eleanor Tyng, Gloria Shelton, and
Barb Hasko, feels it is a definite
improvement over the old system
and will prove to be much more
efficient. Lou also mentioned that
she felt it would be effective in
curbing petty misdemeanors.
Lynne Vandervoort feels that
not only should Freshman Coun-
sellors have extensive training in
Handbook counselling so that they
might administer the same type
of training to their counsellees,
but every other class should un-
dergo a refresher course each
year. Barbara Hasko was as
enthusiastic as Kathy Lewis who
added that it would make students
aware of all changes in the hand-
book; Pam Hogan had the same
reaction. She also feels that stu-
dents should be made aware of the
fact that she is bound by State
and Federal laws and what these
laws are (i.e., drinking, drugs).
Both she and Kathy feel that
each student should clearly know
what is expected of her as soon
as she arrives on the campus
if not before.
The question was raised at the
buzz session whether the Re-
view Board should have the right
to notify the parents of a girl
who is campused. Opinion was
divided on this, but those who
are pleased with the growing
autonomy of dorm councils felt
that the matter should be left to
the girl to be resolved or, at
most, a question for the dorm
council to decide. The others
felt that it was unquestionably
the job of the Campus Review
Board to do so under virtually
circumstances.
Voice Your Choice
"My society, as I experience it, is fundamentally
bad. Not all bad, not even mostly bad, but funda-
mentally bad: deep in the habits of everyday life,
some things are upside down; in the routine, the
apparently obvious and. necessary ways in which
we structure a day's time, see and hear things,
shelter ourselves, greet our fellow men, try to
get things done, plan and commit our activities,
move from place to place, define and guard against
catastrophes, feel and act out fears and hopes -
we are making mistakes. Mistakes that leave our
daily lives constricted, listless, and confused;
mistakes that periodically erupt into catastrophes
sharp enough to identify and write about in the
newspapers.
They are so common and pervasive that we
do not recognize them as mistakes - or even as
choices which we might have made differently -
for the most part we do not notice them at all.
But is it possible for us to encounter the
fundamentals anew, and to set them aright if
necessary. We see how we live, and we can
change it, when we encounter an alternative to it:
preferably not a paper utopia, but a culture of real
people who are living real lives by different
axioms."
Ken Winter
The significant point explicit in this quotation is
that our American way of life is out of joint. We
have made grave mistakes in many areas of our
socio-political endeavors as the most cursory
perusal of a newspaper will illustrate. The ques-
tion is whether we are willing to admit these
mistakes vis a vis decision making and further,
whether or not we intend to correct them. The
challange which faces the college community per se
and, indeed, our entire American society is to
actively contest the indiscriminate policies of our
leaders and to work towards the ideological and
actual vindication of our corrupted system.
Choice '68 provides a means through which we,
as students, can meet this challenge. It serves as
a vehicle by which we can express our opinions
about the existing order. The question now be-
comes, not what can I do, but rather, will I chose
to do it? We have been given a multitude of varying
alternatives - each of which can profoundly affect
our lives. It is up to each of us to decide how to
exercise this powerful podium, and it can make a
difference. The BULLET staff strongly urges you
to support Choice '68. You have the choice and you
have been given the voice - use them.

Dear Students,
Imperative change, skepti-
cism, rebellion — these are con-
cepts which have invaded our
campus and with which we must
reckon. Even the Honor System
have been touched by them.
When choosing to run for Honor
President, I felt that I had to
show the student body that from
a deep understanding of the Ho-
nor System, I too had new ideas
to improve our system and
new challenges to test it. My
platform, entitled the MAC Pro-
gram, ser es as evidence of my
dedication to sort out the weak-
nesses and fallibilities of our
Honor System, to establish the
strengths and to present to you a
sound and dignified formulation
of the Hnor System. Please come
to the Buzz Session and ques-
tion me on my program and my
understanding.
It is more important to know
of another side of me. This side
believes in the honesty and inte-
grity of MWC students, the in-
tegrity that strives toward the
all encompassing, highest ideal of
Honor. As we question and change
our Honor System, I do not want
us to lose our faith in Honor.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Crandell
Dear Editor,
As a candidate for Honor Coun-
cil President I would like to make
the entire student body aware
of the Honor Code and realize
the importance of keeping it ef-
fective. Any school, or any Ho-
nor Code, is only as strong as
the personal integrity and res-
ponsibility of the students.
I support: 1) a revision of the
honor plaque to eliminate legal
loopholes, wordiness, and ambi-
guities.
2) a more intensified training
program for Honor Counselors,
giving them concrete examples to
give to the freshmen.
3) an announcement made at
the end of each semester as to
the total number of dismissals for
honor offenses and each offense
to serve as a reminder that stu-
dents are being punished for
honor offenses.
4) encouraging each professor
on the first day of class to dis-
cuss the Honor Code as he inter-
prets it and applies it to his
class.
5) an advisory committee of
students to protect the accused
student from improper pro-
cedure, and to insure that there
is sufficent evidence to warrant
a trial.
6) personal contact between the
Honor President and the student
body (eg., answering any ques-
tions Freshmen may have at their
House meetings).
I believe our Honor System is
one of the most vital institutions
on campus. I believe in it as
I believe in the personal moral
integrity of the students which
makes it effective. The Honor
System must change with the
times, but it needs the active in-
terest and support of the en-
tire student body to make the
right changes.
Sincerely,
Chris Phillips
Dear Fellow Students:
It has been said that the whole
is greater than the sum of all
its parts. The controversial parts
of our honor system must be
alleviated, but the basic concept
of our system - honor - must be
preserved. It is for this reason
that I have accepted the challenge
of running for Honor Council
President.
One facet of our Honor System
that seems to be currently under
question is that of intent. Should
the Honor Council judge intent?
at present the honor plaque states
that the Honor Council is un-
able to take either character or
intent into consideration. I feel
this clause has been inserted for
the Honor Council's protection.
If it were stated that the Council
judged intent, it would often re-
sult in pitting the word of the ac-
cused against that of the Council.
Alleviating that intent clause
from the plaque is not remedy.
I pro pose instead a more exact
definition of such terms as breach
of honor, lying, stealing, and part-
icularly plagiarism. There
should be an entire section devo-
ted to an elaboration of this per-
tinent problem. As a supple-
ment to the style manual, the
Honor Council should publish a
booklet containing a complete
definition of plagiarism and ex-
amples greater understanding on
the part of the students would
lessen the possibility of uninten-
tional offenses.
As former summer Honor
Council President (1967) and as
an honor counselor, myself, I
see certain weaknesses in the
counselling program. I recom-
mend earlier selection of honor
counselors for two reasons: (1)
to select the most qualified coun-
selors, (2) and to provide spring
training for them. These coun-
selors should not merely serve
several weeks in the fall, but
he readily available for con-
sultation throughout the entire
year.
Honor counselling should not
only apply to freshmen, but to
the entire student body. The in-
troduction of honor counselors
into mixed residence halls could
revive interest in the honor
system. To insure continuity,
more effective orientation of se-
cond semester and day students
is needed. The Honor Council
President, if possible, should
be present during summer school
to see that a firm understanding
is instilled in the incoming fresh-
men.
Change is under way; it must
continue. In addition to support-
ing recent proposals for change
in the structure and interpre-
tation of the system, I submit
the above proposals in an effort
to promote understanding and
preserve our honor system.
Laura Tee Johnson
Candidate for Honor Council
President
Dear Editor,
Acceptance of the Honor
System at Mary Washington im-
plies on the part of each indivi-
dual a 1 commitment not merely
to meaningless idealistic ab-
stractions, but a responsibility
and a determination to create
a vital working code of honor in
our college community and in
ourselves. We Place our confi-
dence in Mary Ann Crandell's
genuine concern in interpreta-
tion of this system.
This concern is most clearly
apparent in her willingness to
establish an open forum of stu-
dent opinion concerning both the
mechanics and the principles of
our Honor System. Her affirma-
tion of students as the "essen-
tial aspect of the Honor System"
indicates her belief that students
must demonstrate their aware-
ness of its significance by ac-
tively participating in re-evalua
tion and clarification of its goals.
More importantly, she is
suggesting that "re-dignifying"
the code of honor, is essential
for its complete acceptance; and
that this requires analysis, not
skeptical rejection, of its most
cherished ideals, and should be
the task with which we whole-
heartedly concern ourselves.
Mary Ann is sincerely interest-
ed and enthusiastic about improv-
ing our college community.
As Hoor Council President
she promises a new look at a
time-honored tradition. She of-
fers us the opportunity to ex-
press ourselves as an integral
part of our Honor System; in-
spires us to achieve a worth-
while contribution to its un-
derstanding; and challenges each
individual to become alive, res-
ponsible, and aware.

Dear Editor,
We would like to voice our
support for Miss Laura T. John-
son for Honor Council Presi-
dent for 1968-69. In view of
her direct work with the Honor
Council as the Representative
during the 1967 Summer Ses-
sion, we feel that she is best
qualified for this job. Her sin-
cere belief in and support of our
Honor System was further demon-;
strated this past fall, when she
helped to lead the training ses-
sions for honor counsellors. We
feel that her enthusiasm and
willingness to work make her the
best candidate and we urge sup-
port for Miss Johnson as Honor
Council President.

Dear Editor,
I recently read the article
of Dr. Fickett in the Bullet, and
his comment on the educational
system in India. Dr. Fickett im-
plied that the present system of
education in India is neither
changing nor progressing and
is merely "an ossification of the
British system". I was born and
raised in India and having studi-
ed under the system of education
of which Dr. Fickett speaks, I
would like to point out that I
think this system is in no way
static or even behind that of
any other part of the world. On
the contrary, it runs parallel to
the British educational system,
with a considerable amount of in-
terest being taken in the con-
stant exchange of ideas and inno-
vations in education between the
two countries.
As for the "memorization of
factual material", I will say that
it is true, but this, in no way,
makes the educational program
an "intellectual straight jacket".
As data is not a defeat in the
system but a unique method of
British education which pro-
vides the student with a thorough,
basic understanding of his sub-
ject, creating in him a strong
foundation with which he can

Wide Range Of Opportunities For Student Involvement Offered At MWC
By GLENNA BOOTH
We didn't know at all;
We didn't see a thing;
You can't hold us to blame.
What could we do?
It was a terrible shame,
But ye can't bear the blame.
Oh no! not us, we didn't know.
— Tom Paxton
Is this your excuse for the
rioting, for the looting, for the
tragedy disgracing our nation?
In the light of history the crime
of a burned capital rests equal-
ly as heavy on your shoulders
as those of the individual carry-
ing a stereo past the television
cameras.
"What could we do?" Plenty.
And you must do it now before
the whole country explodes in
flame. You can start right here
on the Mary Washington campus
by working on one of the newly
formed committees for civil
rights. Miss Finnegan is in
charge of a scholarship fund,
Miss Clark — admissions policy,
Mr. Fingerhut — faculty policy.
Miss Fisher — staff policy, and
Mr. Bernstein — curriculum.
These committees need student
help to function effectively. If
you haven't the time," you can
contribute to the Martin Luth-
er King Scholarship Fund.
You can help children by work-
ing with Carol Chase, the Pres-
byterian Campus worker, at Ann
Hammerick House. Several mem-
bers of the faculty and faculty
wives are working with Negro
leaders in Fredericksburg on
the idea of establishing a day
care center. This would not only
found better relations, but also
enable mothers to work and sup-
plement their income. In the near
future students will be needed
to help with the research neces-
sary to make this plan a reality.
Another opportunity to work
with children presents itself
through the YWCA Tutorial Pro-
gram, in which students from
Walker Grant are tutored in their
weaker subjects by MWC stu-
dents. If you are interested in
this program, contact Exa Motes,
ext. 510.
In the near future the Human
Relations Council of Fredericks-
burg will be starting a door-to-
door petition for Open Houseing.
They may need students for cir-
culation, but you will definitely be
needed for tabulation, publicity,
etc. If you are interested in fu-
ture work with the Human Rela-
tions Council, contact Barbara
ext. 485.
If you are a sociology or psy-
chology major, you can help Dr.
Carter in establishing a team to
check on civil liberties in court
to determine exactly where dis-
crimination exists.
These are just a few of the
very available programs for
NOW. There are many in your
city or town which desperately
need volunteers for summer. If
all the words of praise for Dr.
King merely lie on their print-
ed pages, then they are a huge
sham of hypocrisy. It is time
to cease speaking and begin work-
ing.
Student Voices C oncern Over King 9 s Death
By CLAUDETH HOLMES
The death of Dr. Martin Lu-
ther King was not only a big
shock, but also a great loss to
me. I thought of his children,
wife and other close relatives.
I prayed that God would touch
their hearts and give them the
strength to endure the sorrow that
the loss of a loved one so dear
must have brought, for a father,
a husband and a son is gone
as well as the Black Messiah.
May they find comfort in the fact
that he gave his life for the
cause of freedom.
I was convinced that our coun-
try was in a sorry and deplorable
state. How many men must give
their lives for the cause of free-
dom? How many more? When
will the time come when op-
pressed people will have equal-
ity? How much more do we have
to take? What must we do? Bui
wallowing in self pity doesn't
solve the problem, it doesn't an-
swer the above questions and it
doesn't bring back Dr. King.
Senator Robert Kennedy Runs For Presidency "To Seek New Policies
By PAT GWALTNEY
The lights begin to twinkle from
the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow
moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices.
Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer
world.
Push off, and sitting well in
order smite
Of all the western stars until I
die.
The sounding furrows; for my
purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and
the baths.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
This verse prefaces "To Seek
A Newer World," by Senator
Robert Kennedy, in which he dis-
cusses his position on the prob-
lems of youth, race, the city,
Alliance for Progress, nuclear
control, and Vietnam.
If we agree with Senator Ken-
nedy that "this country is on a
perilous course" and that
changes are necessary, then can
we label a man who has accepted
this challenge and offered his
candidacy as a choice for the
American voters, an opportun-
ist? Sen. Kennedy announced his
candidacy in March saying, "I
run to seek new policies - poli-
cies to close the gaps between
black and white, rich and poor,
young and old, in this country
and around the world." The vot-
er's choice would be better based
on an examination of the issues
and the various candidates posi-
tions and proposed policies, than
shallow labels and other super-
ficial criteria, whichdo not char-
acterize an educated choice.

that exists in our country to-
day, must kindle a flame in
their hearts and dedicate them-
selves to do something today to
help solve the problem, no mat-
ter how small. Those of us who
have given the problem some
consideration, must fan our flame
and renew our dedication. All of
us can and must do something.
This is not an impossible dream.
The efforts taken by the fac-
ulty on Tuesday is a good start.
The decision to begin taking mea-
sures to solicit Negro profes-
sors, give a scholarship in the
name of Dr. King to a Negro
girl who couldn't otherwise at-
tend the college, end discrim-
ination in rooming and to recruit
at predominantly Negro high
schools should not be done for
mere tokenism, but to take these I
measures because it is no more |
than right and the time has come
for them to have a change in their
thinking and in their hearts.

(Editor's note: The following
questions were asked at a taped
BULLET press conference and
were answered by the first three
candidates spontaneously. Mags
Noll had seen the questions pre-
viously and responded privately
after she entered the race the
following day.)
1. Do you think Honor Counsel-
ling needs to be made more
A. Crandell
1. I have five points concerning making
honor counselling more effective. First
point is that it should not be taught as one
friend to another. I want the honor counsel-
lors to be teachers, to have the status and
respect of an instructor. Second, I would
mores. If we can tap the energy and
resources of the rising sophomores, honor
counselling will be more effective.
As I said in my platform, I want
honor counselling to be the "in" thing to
do and to do well in your sophomore year.
My third point is having the honor counsel
test, not to be confused with theSGA hand-
book test because the freshmen seem to
onfuse the two. When I gave SGA hand-
book tests this year, I found a lot of
answers given by the freshmen were an-
swers which applied to the honor council.
Joint council, judicial council and the
honor council are extremely mixed up.
This could be due to the SGA handbook
which puts honor council under the title
of judicial council, and I think this should
be completely separate. This would clarify
quite a bit. My fourth point is that honor
counselling should be longer. The fresh-
men are under such a strain during the
first week of school, all during orienta-
tion, that is a little too much for them
to grasp. There is a lot of fear for fresh-
men involved with the honor system and I
think this is intensified by the short time
of honor counselling. Incoming freshmen
should know that this is a revolution in.
our honor system and that they should
become involved in it and wrapped up in
it; that they should accept our honor sys-
tem, but should also look for its ambigui-
ties and inadequecies. My fifth point is
that as it is traditional to sent out a let-
ter to the incoming freshmen at the be-
ginning of the year telling them that we
have an honor system. This letter asks
them to talk this over with their parents
and I don't believe this is correct. I think
the honor system belongs to the youth and
to the students and it should be a student
to student discussion. It should be Mary
Washington student to Mary Washington
student.
2. Yes, I believe in an absolute honor
system. We all know when we are com-
mitting an honor offense. We know if we
are stealing a carton of milk or stealing
a nickel or if we are borrowing a carton
of milk or borrowing a nickel. We know
when we are plagiarizing. Our conscience
knows this. If we know when we are com-
mitting an honor offense then our honor
system should be absolute. Within this
absolute honor system, however, we should
incorporate two things. One is complete
understanding by the student body. If you
don't under stand the Honor System then you
can't uphold it. The second thing is pro-
tection for the individual student. This pro-
tection should be able to weed out cases
where an honor offense is not committed:
where the student is borrowing a carton
of milk and intends to replace it, where
the student is plagiarizing due to improper
professor instruction and lack of what the
professor expects.
3. The part of our honor system that is
confidential is the trial, the evidence pre-
sented in the trial, and the student who
is accused. There is another aspect of
our honor system which is and should
not be confidential. This is our honor
plaque, the revision of it, and hopefully,
what I propose, an honor constitution. I
believe that students should be actively
effective? If so, what ideas do
you propose?
I. Do you feel that an absolute
Honor System, such as the one
we allegedly have now, is va-
lid?
so much of their work is confi-
dential. Do you think this is good,
or, if not, what can be done about
it?
4. Do you think that an Honor
System which extends into aca-
demic aim social realms, as ours
j, is valid?
3. In the past, the Honor Coun-
cil has been pretty much for-
gotten during the year because
5. Do you think tnat intent should,
or could, be considered in a
trial?
6. How do you feel about estab-
lishing an advisory board of
students, such as the one Liz
Muirheid outlined in her cam-
paign? The advisory board would
consist of various student mem-
bers appointed by the President
and would serve a dual purpose.
Upon accusation of a professor,
members of thp board vnnM
meet witn the professor to go
over the evidence, and in a trial
they would serve as the accusers
in presenting the evidence. They
would also serve, in talking witn
the professor, as a clearing board
to see if procedure has been vi-
olated or if the evidence is too
technical or too circumstancial
for it ot hold up in a trial. This
would clear everything before
the case ever got to trial.
know this tnen our Honor system is iacK-
ing in understanding, but it is not lacking
in the concept of not
Mary Ann Crandell
involved in these revisions — we need
1600 opinions so that we can know where
our weaknesses and strengths of our honor
system lie. I propose that we create an
honor system planning board, which, at this
time, will help revise the honor plaque.
This would involve any students on campus
who are interested. I have confidence that
any student can read the honor plaque and
see its faults, and I think that this is a time
when our whole honor system is in question
and that the whole student body should be
involved in this question. I feel that an
honor trial procedure should be written
up and publicized.
4. I think that this is a question that has
to be answered by the entire student body.
My opinion is valid only as a student, It
has no more weight than any other student's
opinion just because I am running for the
office of Honor Council President. The
Honor system has been most effective in
the realm of academic. Most of the honor
trials are concerning some form of aca-
demic violation. As I understand it, no
cases of stealing have come before the
honor council this year. However, on the
other hand, the social system touches our
lives more closely than any other part of
college life. We become more concerned
when somthing is stolen from our rooms,
when we are asked by a head resident what
our action have been, whether we have
done something we shouldn't have done, l
think that the student body's opinion on
this question should be registered.
5. 1 don't think that we should delve deeply
into the problem of plagiarism in this
case. From what I understand, in the
revision of the Honor plaque, plagiarism
will be more clearly defined, and they have
come up with a term called "technical
plagiarism." This would handle any case
where the girl did not intend to plagiarize
. . . Now in answer to the question, I
would like to give a resounding NO, and
qualify this statement. Let's look at human
nature. Since we were a child and we were
scolded, everyone said "I didn't mean to,
I'm sorry". Well this doesn't make it all
right. Therefore intent should not be
judged. We can't judge how much a person
didn't mean to do it, or how sorry they
were. I strongly believe that a student
should know what she's doing when she
signs the honor pledge, and she should
know what she's doing when she commits
an honor offense. If a student does not
6. I think the idea behind the advisory
board is a good one, however I am hesitant
about involving students in wnai suuuiu ue
a secret trial. I think irreparable damage
would be done to our system if the pro-
tection of the student was violated. There-
fore I submit a proposal which is very
similar to this advisory board composed
of Honor Council members. If we increase
our Honor Council to eight or maybe even
ten, and only a quorum of six or less is
required, then two members of the Honor
Council could act as the advisory board,
making sure that evidence is gathered
correctly, and would present this to the
President for review. What bothered me al-
so was the word "appointment". Pm a
strong believer in elections, and I feel
these people should be elected. That
would give them not only their authority,
but I think would impress upon them their
responsibility to the whole student bod}
not only to the Honor Council . . . This
is why I suggested that maybe we keep it
within the Honor Council, because these
were elected members.
T. Johnson
i. i ao ieei that honor counselling
needs to be made more effective. The
first thing that I would suggest starting
with is the very problem of the counsel-
lors themselves; possibly this is the way
in which they have been chosen as coun-
sellors. It seems they are always chosen
so late that they don't have time them-
selves to get properly prepared for this
honor counselling. If they were chosen
more in advance, and given a few train-
ing sessions in the spring as well as in
the fall, I think they would be able to
better utilize the time in the summer; to
think about just what they want to tell
their freshmen and to be thinking about
what bothered them in their freshmen
year and what confused them, so that may-
be they could make it easier on the fresh-
men themselves. Also, I believe that there
are many girls on this campus who are
interested in the honor system, or could
be more interested by taking the role of
an honor counsellor. It would be better
to encourage more and more girls to
become honor counseUors; I don't mean
go out and just pick anybody to be an
honor counsellor, but to really talk it
up and try to get enthusiasm among the
girls. This way each girl could dedi-
cate more of her time to less freshmen.
Also, I think the way a girl counsels
should be considered. I agree with Mary
Ann in that they should try to teach
and be an instructor; that they should
make it on a pesonal basis because
we are all under the same system and are
all, techinically, friends under the same
system, so why not talk to them as sister
to sister about it. Make it more of a
practical understanding. I think too often
we tend to just read them what's been
given to us to teach and the don't really
understand it and yet they don't know
what they don't understand about it. When
we say they word "plagarism", don't
just say the word "plagarism", but de-
fine it, and give them examples of it.
I also agree with Mary Ann in that thee
should be a longer amount of orienta-
tion, because there is so much involved
that they tend to think of the honor sys-
tem as just one more thing and don't
tend to think of it any more stronly
than any others. But. it would be up to
the individual counsellor at the time to
make them realize the gravity of this.
Another suggestion is that they remain
honor counsellors the entire year, that
their duties are not over with the end of
fall orientation, and that they should cer-
tainly be available to their girls at all
times, so that they'll realize the the
honor system is something they live
with all year long and not just during
2. I don't feel that an absolute honor
system is valid. I think today that we
have to consider with the changing times
that everything can't be considered
black and white anymore, and we have
to start thinking and asking if our system
is truly absolute. I don't feel the system
is truly absolute today because I think
there are too many small points that would
make it not an absolute system. But ths
doesn't mean that an absolute honor system
can't be valid. To me, an absolute system
is an ideal; something for which we should
strive. There's been a lot of talk about
possibly getting away from an absolute
system and I've given it a lot of con-
sideration, and I still feel it is some-
thing for which we should strive. We may
not acheive it, but I still feel it would
be terribly idealistic for us to feel that
we are always going to achieve it. But, 1
do feel it is worthwhile to make an effort
to obtain this ideal of an absolute honor
system.
3. I agree that it is definitely not good
for the simple reason as Christie has said,
that the honor system is for the protection
of the individual, and the individual, it's
just nobody's business. As far as I'm
concerned a certain amount has to be
kept confidential. I think as much as is
let known now is certainly sufficient . . .
I think that just the fact that we would
know the statistical data such as that,
is not really telling you any more about
the case, and I don't really think you
should be concerned with it. Also, if you
have a valid reason or really wanting to
find out about a case ... you can always
always go see the Honor Council Presi-
dent and talk that over with her. So I
think there are ways to find out informa-
tion if you have a valid reason for want-
ing to know them . . . Certainly I believe
it's important to make the Honor Coun-
cil's work known, in that everybody wants
the Honor Council to be more important
on campus, but I don't think this is the
way.

4. In answer to the question, I think an
honor system that extends into the aca-
demic and social realm, such as we have
here at Mary Washington, is definitely
valid. We live under the system and we live
under it 24 hours a day, and it's just
my personal feeling that the honor system
has to affect not only what we do in
the academic world, but the social world,
and that it affects one as much as the
other. It is just as important that you
realize there is an honor system when
you are in the dorm or when you are
thinking of taking somebody else's pos-
sessions. I feel that the honor system
to work effectively has to include all
these facets, and I feel that the type we
have here is perfectly valid for the sys-
tem.
5. One facet of our honor system that
seems to be currently under question
is that of intent. It has been talked about
a lot and people are asking, 'Should
the honor council judge intent?" At pre-
sent the honor plaque is stating that the
honor council is unable to take either
cha racter o r intent into consideration. I
feel this clause should remain in the honor
plaque. I feel it has been inserted for the
honor council's protection. If it should be
stated as several people have suggested as
a good idea that the honor council iudee
intent, it would often result in pitting the
accused against the members of the honor
council. In other words, pitting the words
of the accused against the word of the
honor council. I don't feel this is good.
I don't feel this is what the honor coun-
cil, the position it should be placed in.
The honor system is flexible and because
it is flexible I feel that although intent
is not jidged as such, every girl is
given every benefit of every doubt. Sc
the ones that are hurt by the intent clause
that remains in the honor plaque are not
the ones we are actually trying to punish.
I propose instead of taking this clause
out or even saying that intent should be
judged from now on, that there be a more
exact definition of plagarism of stealing,
lying, breaking one's word of honor be-
cause in this realm is where I think the
64
The
System
99
question of intent is coming up most.
Then the people who are actually being
hurt by the part of the honor plague
would not suffer as much, so they actually
need in more precise words what plaga-
rism, lying stealing, breaking one's word
of honor consisted of. There shouldn't be
any questions in their minds as to what
this should actually be, so I feel that by
redefining, which has already started, and
making more specific definitions, that any
person that would have been hurt by such a
clause would be protected and I do feel that
that clause should remain in there for the
protection of the honor council.
6. I feel the advisory board that has been
suggested is an excellent idea too. I
believe that the problems that arise most
in these cases are involved in profes-
sors' and students' relationships be-
cause professors are uneasy about accus-
ing girls and often do goof up the pro-
cedure, and I feel that an advisory board
would certainly help to alleviate some of
these problems. It would also not only
take the responsibility off the professors'
shoulders but it would help the Honor
Council President herself because it would
be composed of girls that she had worked
with and known that she could trust
and converse with. And not only that, it
would give her more time that she can use
in other areas of Honor Council work.
Also I feel that there is no problem in
them being appointed, not necessarily
elected, because they wold be appointed
by the Honor Council President to be
upstanding girls and girls that would have
been elected anyway by an intelligent vot-
ing public. Also, no more members are
going to hurt the girls, because even
though it may seem upsetting to the girls
that there would be an advisory board,
they're extra girls to help the Honor
Council President and they're very well
trained. Also I believe that it's a good
idea that we have somebody like this that
can do the accusing, because Honor Coun-
cil members, according to the Honor
plaque, are not anything but judges, and
they are not supposed to be doing the
accusing. I think the advisory board would
be a good idea.

them time to think about tne Honor oysiein
and to formulate questions which may not
have been answered during the counselling
period. Finally, Honor Counsellors should
keep in touch with their counsellees, meet
with them at specific times during the
year to answer any questions which may
have arisen after living under the system.

1. First of all, there should be an en-
couragement and appeal to the students
to realize the importance of the roU of
Honor Counsellor as the first link be-
tween the new incoming student and the
Honor System. When they sign the Honor
pledge card, they are making a legal
contract with the College and if they break
this contract and if they are found guilty,
they must leave theCollege.Subsequently,
the Honor Counsellor must educate the
incoming students as to the seriousness,
the importance, and the workings of the
Honor System. Counsellors should not
only fill out an application, but should be
interviewed to help insure that those
chosen will be capable of serving as this
link. Secondly, the Counsellor training
sessions should be longer in an attempt
to answer any questions that they might
have about the system and to review the
provisions of the Honor System. Thirdly,
the period of counselling time for the in-
coming student should be increased, giving
2. Our Honor plaque advocates absolute
honor, however, in application, absolute
honor is not valid. If a girl is questioned
when she is emotionally upset or perhaps
intoxicated, she may lie. According to
our Honor plaque, this is an infraction
of the Honor System, however, had she
been questioned when in better mental
state, she would not have lied. The Honor
Council this year has attempted to move
away from the absolute and take into ac-
count a case such as this where, as I
feel,, absolute honor cannot be applied.
3. First of all, the Honor President's door
is opened to any student with questions
concerning the Honor Council and the
Honor System. There are certain limi-
tations, however, to what the Honor Presi-
dent can reveal, in that her first concern
is to protect the student who is brought up
before the Council, whether she is guilty
or not guilty. It should be impressed
upon the students that at any time during
the year they may ask questions of any
member of the Council and that the ques-
tions are encouraged. If the Honor System
is "pretty much forgotten" it is because
the students have forgotten it. A revision
of the Honor plaque, which is now in
progress, will make more explicit the
provisions and workings of the Honor
System, but to live with it with an aware-
ness of it, not a forgetfulness. To question
to suggest, to learn about the Honor Sys-
tem wiU make it more alive and bring
about an awareness.
4. An Honor System which extends into
both academic and social realms is valid.
To divorce the two and say that an honor
system is valid in one but not the other, as
I feel, cannot be realized on this campus.
To encourage and promote personal in-
tegrity and personal honor is valid and
therefore I feel our Honor System in both
realms is valid.

You can't handshake your way out of the kind of

through - and that takes a lifetime of getting ready.
Think about the one man who is best qualified for that office. With
the sure hand, the balanced judgment, the combination of sea-
soned experience and youthful vigor. The one man who has gained
a perspective on the Presidency unique in our time - from 20
years in public life, eight of them at the very center of power -
followed by a rare opportunity to reflect and re- study, and to
measure the pressing needs of America and the world in this final
third of the 20th Century. The one man whose constituency is the
nation, whose audience is the world. The one man better prepared
for the Presidency than any other challenger in history.

Bernstein's Course On
American Indians Will
Be Taught In Arizona,
New Mexico This Summer
Joel Bernstein will teach the
American Studies Course on the
Indians of New Mexico and Ari-
zona on location this summer. All
persons interested in going must
contact Mr. Bernstein by May 15.
The students will meet here first
for two or three days of orienta-
tion and then leave Dulles Airport
August 3, they will return Aug-
ust 31. The students will be trav-
elling by two nine-passenger, air-
conditioned station wagons.
In teaching the course, Mr.
Bernstein, advisor to the Amer-
ican studies program, will take
the students on location to Apache
Indian Reservation, Gallup, New
Mexico and attend the Annual In-
dian Dance Festival in the mid-
dle of August. They will visit

The students will pay approx-
imately $500 for the course which
includes all expenses except food.
There will be reduced fees for
those students who are not taking
the course for credit. Three
hours credit will be given for the
course.
Mr. Bernstein feels that "there
is no way to study these places
but to be there." Mr. Bernstein
used to live in Wyoming and has
a small ranch outside of Al-
buquerque. Last semester he
taught the Free Unversity course,
"Cowboys and Indians." He has
been a professional bronc rider
for the past seven years and has
travelled extensively in the area.
Mrs. Sue Bernstein (MWC '67)
will accompany the group to con-
tinue her study of Indian arts
and crafts in the southwest.
The course is part of the flex-
ible American Studies Program
which allows the student to pur-
sue her interest without the re-
strictions of a departmental ma-
jor. Mr. Bernstein considers this
experience invaluable to the
the study of the southwest and
ilso to the individual student who
has the opportunity to "study
civilizations that are still close
to what they were in origin."
and most important - employ
ment in the ghetto. He criticizes
"hand-out" welfare saying, "To
obtain welfare aid, the price is
too often a broken home and il-
legitimacy."
"The process of community
development must begin on an
economic base: a foundation of
individual and community self
support . . . There are two major
categories of employment to be
developed: the performance of
tasks and works that the com-
munity needs (government pro-
jects), and the developemnt of
jobs in private industry . . . The
most effective way to encourage
new enterprise in urban proverty
areas is through tax incentives."
The concept is already used in
other areas. Sen. Kennedy intor-
duced two bills to extend bene-
fits to industries locating in low
income areas. Sen. Kennedy also

Sen. Kennedy has made the
Vietnam war a major issue of
his campaign. Events of the past
weeks have subordinated this iss-
ue for the mement as prelimi-
nary negotiations are being plan-
ned. In an address delivered Feb-
ruary 8, in Chicago, Sen. Ken-
nedy was very definite "that a
political compromise is not just
the best path to peace, but the
only path, and we must show as
much willingness to risk some of
our prestige for peace as to risk
the lives of our young men in
war." Sen. Kennedy goes on to
discuss certain illusions about
Vietnam: (1) that we can't win a
war which the south Vietnamese
cannot win for themselves.
"Above all, Vietnam teaches us
that a government must com-
mand the willing allegiance of
its people, and make itself a
vehicle for the satisfaction oi
their national and personal as-
pirations." (2) that a military
victory at any cost is not in our
interest nor that of Vietnam (3)
'that this was can be settled in
our own way and in our own time
on our own terms." This last
illusion seems to prevail as we
haggle over a place for negoti-
ation while the fighting goes on.
In making a responsible choice
consider the issues, consider ex-
perience, consider dynamic lead-
ership qualities - the ability to
communicate with and mold pub-
lic opinion. Sen. Kennedy has
shown us these qualities as At-
torney General (President Ken-
nedy's alter -ego), as Senator of
New York, as an educated man
and articulate speaker intensely
interested in discussing the iss-
ues.
"At stake is not simply the
leadership of our party or even
our country - it is our right to
moral leadership on this planet."

"The Hunt" Depicts Man's Inhumanity
By JANE TOUZALIN
"The Hunt," a Spanish film
which won praises at the 1966
New York Film Festival, will
be shown Saturday, April 27, at
8:30 p.m. in George Washington
Auditorium.
Often described as one of the
most gruesome films of its time,
"The Hunt" tells the story of
four men who meet on an old
battlefield of the Spanish civil
war for a few days of rabbit
shooting. All of them are Franco
veterans except for the youngest,
who is evidently the son of a
veteran.
As the movie progresses, it
becomes evident that the men,
though financially successful, are
bitter, jealous, cruel, degen-
erate, suspicious of one an-
other, and avid to shoot and kill.
During a long, hot afternoon of
hunting the lust to kill slowly
creates gripping tension, then
finally grinds to a climax of
violence and disaster as murder
strikes and the hunter become
the hunted.

From a photographic point of
view, this movie is generally
considered to be a work of art
as it contains some of the most
realistic and grisly hunt scenes
ever filmed. The actors are chief-
ly unknowns, but Carlos Saura,
the director is well-known in
Europe.
The film seems to have two
points to make. First, it is a
cynical innuendo of what has
happened to the middle aged man
of the generation which fought
for Franco in the civil war; and

A Mary ^Washington College
senior was assaulted around 9:00,
Thursday night, as she returned
to Trench Hill. Chief Haynes said
the student had reached the lawn
of the dormitory when she was
grabbed from behind and thrown
to the ground.
Her attacker, described as
being between 5' 6" and 5' 10"
and weighing between 160 and
180 pounds, threatened to kill her
if she screamed.
The victim was treated at Mary
Washington Hospital.
second, it vividly depicts man's
inhumanity and his tendency to
destroy other men. On the whole,
although it might be much more
valid and understandable in Spain,
"The Hunt" is still fairly excit-
ing and entertaining work.
Increases In

tional salary at $10,212.
In announcing the details of the
salary boost which ranges from
$400 to $1,000 Chancellor Grellet
C. S impson said that the increase
place the average here ten dollars
above the approximate national
average for schools comparable
to Mary Washington. National
figures are used by theCommon-

Dr. Fickett mentioned a feel-
ing of resignation in Indian stu-
dents as opposed to the optimism
of American students. He also
spoke of the frequent riots in
the Universities. If the dominant
characteristic in India is resigna-

is "ossified", then why would the
students bother to riot and de-
monstrate against the status quo?
Bulbul Vaswani
Dear Editor,
The article written about the
last SIC meeting and published in
the February 26 issue of the
Bullet was highly inaccurate and
misrepresentative. First of ah,
nothing was said at the meeting
about the "hopelessness" of the
recommendation for open-end
classes. As a matter of fact,
this was one proposal with a
very optimistic future. The pro-
posal for the abolition of the
cut system has been forwarded
to SGA and hasn't yet reached
the faculty. Hence, to say it is a
"lost-cause" is ridiculous.
The reporter completely mis-
represented me as being "un-
impressed with the present
course evaluation carried out by
the Academic Affairs Commit-
tee." It is highly unlikely that I
would have made such a state-
ment as I am in charge of
course evaluation for Ac. Af-
fairs. Furthermore, the inde-
pendent course evaluation pro-
ject is a supplement to SGA's
project which has an altogether
different purpose. Finally, the
reporter's statement that only "a
slight percentage of SIC's plans
have a future" was an editorial
comment in a professed news
story, a statement I did not make
nor do I agree with.
The article consisted of a re-
port on 10 minutes of a 45-
minute meeting. It totally ne-
glected the major issue discussed
at the meeting - the question
of what MWC students can do
constructively to aid the civil
rights movement. As a result of
this discussion, based on sug-
gestions from the Va. Human
Relations Council, a recommen-
dation has been forwarded to Dr.
Senator McCarthy Believes Vietnam War
To Be Essential Point of Contention

ment that interested sociology
majors organize a team of in-
vestigators to check the protec-
tion of civil liberties in the local
courts.
Despite the reporter's obvious
disenchantment, SIC has accomp-
lished a great deal for an or-
ganization with no sponsorship,
no funds, and no formal member-
ship. Hundreds of pages of litera-
ture have been studied and in-
numerable conferences with
faculty and administration have
been held, in an effort to re-
search almost 100 suggestions
for change.
Research has been completed
and recommendations have been
forwarded to student government
on at least eight suggestions:
abolition of the cut system, keys
the political scene in America
has gone through some rather
surprising changes, but these
changes do not alter McCarthy's
basic convictions.
McCarthy's opposition to the
present course of the war has
remained as he stated, "I am
not for peace at any price but
for an honorable, rational, and
political solution to this war;
a solution which I believe will
enhance our world position, en-
courage the respect of our allies
and potential adversaries, which
will permit us to give the necess-
ary attention to our other com-
mittments abroad - both military
and non-military - and leave with
us both resources and moral
energy to deal effectively with
the pressing domestic problems
of the United States itself."
The overriding financial burden
of the war, according to Mc-
Carthy, has caused increasing
concern in other areas of United
States responsibility, of which
four major areas are:
1) domestic finance -McCarthy
feels the war has caused "the
failure to appropriate adequate
funds for the poverty program,
for housing, for education and
other national needs, and the
prospect of additional cuts as
a condition for Congressional
approval of a tax bill."
2) foreign spending - the in-

On Thursday, November 30,
1967, Senator Eugene McCarthy

By way of a biographical sketch,
Mc Carthy was born in Watkins,
Minnesota, taught high school and
college, and at the age of 32, was
elected to the U. S. House of
representatives. Defeating a
GOP incumbent, McCarthy was
elected to the U. S. Senate in
1958 and was re-elected in 1964
by the largest popular majority
of any Democratic candidates in
Minnesota's history.
His election leaflet states
"People will recognize in Mc-
Carthy not only courage and in-
tegrity but independence, dedi-
cation and intellectual excel-
lence." There is an alternative

Carthy.

During the sound-off held in
March, I wondered why there was
only a handful of students at-
tending compared with the packed
ballroom of *67's spring sound-
off. Was it the oft-complained-
of apathy? Was it poor communi-
cations? No - the publicity was
more than adequate. And no -
I didn't think it was student apa-
thy. My conclusion was that the
poor turn-out for the sound-off
was the highest compliment that
could have been paid to the
Bradley administration. It
indicated that there just isn't
that much to "sound - off" about

vision of registration pro- pres ently
cedures, extension of C-
shop hours and alteration in C-
shop policy, and the formation
of a joint committee to study
the academic calendar. SIC's
pass -fail resolution was for-
warded to a faculty committee
which passed a proposal almost
identical to SIC's. SIC has clear-
ed up many misconceptions about
channels and regulations and has
provided a place and a purpose
for those students who want pro-
gress but feel stifled by the red
tape of official channels.
But most important of all,
SIC has made the need for change
an ever-present force in stu-
dent government and in the stu-
dent body. The election platforms
changed.
What does this mean for the
future of SIC? - a drive for
greater student responsibility
and speedier reform in the aca-
demic realm, here-to-fore the
private concern of the faculty.
The success of the SIC pass-
fail resolution and the initiation
of a published course - evalua-
tion booklet to be sold in the
fall indicate that SIC can bring
about needed academic reform.

Chris Phillips Stresses Personal Integrity
From Page 5
5. Intent is involved with absolute honor.
The Honor Council is not capable of de-
termining the intent of a student when she
plagiarizes or steals. However, in the
example that I cited in Question No. 2,
intent, if this is what it may be called,
should be considered. Each case is an
entity within its self, and must be treated
as such. To judge intent, to attempt to
"read a girl's mind," in almost every
case, is not possible. But yet honor is
not absolute. There is a fine line here,
something which cannot be answered in
a flat statement.
6. There should be an advisory boarc*
established. Many professors are not
aware of the procedure to be followed. With
an advisory board of students who know
the procedure to be followed, these dis-
crepancies will be elim nated and pro-
tection of the student increased.
Chris Phillips
1. Yes, I feel that honor counselling can
be made more effective. This year, under
B. J. Bowden's guidance, the honor system
has become so effective that there hasn't
been a single conviction this year among
the freshmen. I would like to continue this
plan, and I think the greatest importance is
the personal contact with the freshmen.
If I were elected the Honor Council Presi-
dent, I would like to go to each dorm to
answer questions upper-classmen might
have and also to reach the freshmen in
those upperclassmen dorms. I think one
of the first problems to make honor
counselling more effective would be to
revise the plaque, which is being done
now, so that it will be easier to teach and
more understandable. I think that the first
thing that the freshmen should learn to
respect and not be intimidated by the
honor code, and to realize that the bene-
fits derived from it far outweigh any
scare that it might put into them. I also
believe that more intensified training for
the counsellors and a search for more in-
Chris Phillips
terested counsellors would be very bene-
ficial. I think these counsellors should be
given practical examples to give to the
freshmen and should know how to help
them with any problem they might have; to
relay their own personal problems faced
in their freshmen year. Especially in the
realm of plagarism, I feel the freshmen
should be given guidance on how to avoid
this, how to approach their professors in
this area, since this is the most prevalent
problem among all students.
2. I think an absolute honor system is
valid because it is based on true honor to
build our personal integrity, and I feel
this is the greatest asset we can derive
from any experience — college or the
world outside. I feel that unless we had
a totaUy psycho-analytical honor council,
it would be impossible for us to make a
black, grey-white decision and, as it is,
the absolute honor system is the best
possible one that Mary Washington couiu
Committees Begun To Work
have, and I think the
should live up to it.
3. No I do not believe this is good. I be-
lieve the student body should be aware of
what the Honor Council is doing. I think
that it should be more prominent. The
types of offenses committed, if not at
the time committed, should be made
public at periodical times as far as
giving data on the class ranking of the
students committing the offenses, the
type of offense, and the percentage of
cases taken to trial and what they were
for. I think this should be brought to the
floor. I think the students should know what
the honor council is doing. I think this is
one way student interest can be encour-
aged. I think tms is one way to let tne stu-
dent body know that the honor council is
working for them to protect them and to
DrotGct tncir nonor coqg.
4. The honor plaque says that it is es-
sential that the honor system shall con-
cern itself with academic matters and
the word of honor of the individual student
given to her professor, members of the
college staff and student officials. Of
course academics are vital, but I think
personal integrity between students is to
be valued as much as the honor code
in applying to academics. What would it
profit us to live here together on one
campus, and be able to lie to each other.
If we can't trust each other, if we can't
trust ourselves and if we don't learn
this now during our college years, when
are we going to learn it? We have to
have this pesonal integrity when we go
out into the world.
5. No, I do not think intent should be
considered. First of all the honor council
is not qualified to judge intent. In trials
of our state legislature, psychologists are
called in to give insight into a person,
but there is no way an honor council
could, without psychoanalyzing a person,
judge their intent. Only the person knows
his own intent, and it is often very diffi-
cult for that person to admit it. I think
it would be a total impossibility for our
honor council to judge it therefore. I do
think, however, that plagarism is one of
the major offenses. I think plagarism
should be very well defined so that it
can be taken into consideration by the
freshmen when they come, they knowwnat
they are doing, they know what is ex-
them selves what they ought to do.
6. I think this is an excellent idea. I
think it's a very good way of finding
out, especially in the case of a professor
accusing a student, if the proper pro-
cedure has been followed, if the pro-
fessor has been negligent, not through
his own fault, but not bothered to find
out the finer details of why the student
has done this, if he hasn't accused the
student properly. I think it has another
benefit in that it is much easier for
an accused student to face two student
accusees instead of a professor in a
trial, and also it helps our Honor Code
within the realm of the student and it
