HONOR COUNCIL Fifteen members of the Honor Council, including representatives from every class, work to help students overcome problems of in- tegrity in academic work and Word of Wisdom violation. The purpose of the group is to counsel with students individually and help them to overcome these problems. Keith Martin served as chairman, with Dick Gibson, Bruce Barlow and Stuart Benedict assisting him. The council worked in two areas, that of dealing with cases when they occurred and also the education of the stu- dent body as to their responsibilities under the Honor System. Between 100 and 200 cases were handled by the year ' s end and programs were taken to many campus organizations. Future plans include meeting with groups of faculty members on the depart- ment level and exchanging ideas. Careful preparation is given to each new problem the Honor council is called to con- sider.
