COVER Near the close of the 1944-45 school year, President Albert N. Sleepy Perry of the student council appointed a com- mittee, composed of students and professors, to study the current honor system with the purpose of revitalizing its organization in order to more effectively promote a realistic regard for honesty among the students. Bill Heyward, vice- president at the time, was made chairman of the committee. Under the energetic guidance of Bill and the able assist- ance of several very interested committeemen (notably: Pro- fessor W. N. Hicks, Professor T. W. Wood, and Bill Catlin) the committee drew up such elaborate and promising plans for a new honor system that authority was granted, at their request, to include the entire organic law of the student government in their planning. Meetings were held weekly for several months, and the experience of many outstanding colleges was carefully studied. Finally a new constitution was drafted, reflecting some provisions of the original document and other college organiza- tions, but mostly an entirely new vision of college democracy. The new organization was entitled: CAMPUS GOVERNMENT AND HONOR SYSTEM OF THE NORTH STATE COLLEGE. Before ratification, the regular Spring elections were held. Ratification of the constitution included approvals by the student council, student body, faculty council, general faculty, and the board of trustees. Under the war program of the college, a regular term was held during the summer and the new council assumed its duties with regular weekly meetings. Many of the regular councilmen enrolled, but a special election was held to choose representatives for those positions which were empty. Officers of the summer council were: Bill Gatlin, President; Ed Mahoney, Vice- President; Tony Gaeta, Secretary; and Chester Fisler, Treasurer. Representatives were: C. A. Dillon, John Castleberry, Tom Garrison, Loy Thompson, Charles Hughes, Bill Thornton, James Cheek, Tony Lemay, Bobby Wooten, Charles Moss, Collins Wright, and Doug House. Adopting a serious attitude toward their responsibilities, the summer council administered a very full program during the term. Their work included: formulation and adoption of a new set of by-laws to the new constitution, a successful State-Meredith party, a midsummer hop In Frank Thompson Gymnasium, and the routine details of student government. With the ending of the great war and the influx of many more students, the work of the campus government began in earnest on the opening of the Spring term. Although officers and representatives had already been elected un- der the regulations of the old council, the new government wisely decided to organize and conduct their business as near as possible to the letter of the new constitution. First, four faculty representatives were elected internally by the council, and then elections were held in each of the four professional schools to form the honor committees. Business of the Fall term was begun with the formation of the cheerleader squad, with joe Monroe winning the head-cheerleader position Chester Fisler acting as the or- ganizing agent for the council. Three weeks later, the council staged the annual Dad ' s Day Celebration which ended with a halftime program at the State-Wake Forest football game in Riddick Stadium. An unhappy incident of that weekend was the scandalous painting of Wake Forest campus. Friendly relations were reestablished when the campus government formally apologized and offered to pay the cleaning expenses. After considerable waiting, the new constitution was finally received from the print shop in an attractive blue booklet and was distributed to every member of the college by the council. The next major project of the council was the circu- lation of a petition that the Christmas Holidays be extended to include the New Year. A large majority of the students signed it, and the faculty council did grant an extension of four days. Other acts of the council during the fall term resulted in recommendations regarding: facilities for Al Millman ' s orches- tra, the use of fireworks on the campus, installation of tele- phones in the dormitories, and the honor program.
