Mens Council m ' - ' M npHE Men ' s Council, composed of a representative from each of the schools and a chairman at large, is the students ' court for the trial of men ' s cases arising under the honor system. A sincere effort has been made this year to ad- minister justice fairh to all accused, and to the stu- dent body as a whole. Personal prejudice or favor- itism has not been allowed to enter into the decisions. The freshman was given as fair and unbiased a hear- ing as was the athlete. In the interests of justice and honor, an exten- sive campaign for the education of the freshmen was carried on. Thereafter, unswervingly, the Council suspended all who were found guilt} ' of violations of honor, feeling that it is only through such means that the Honor System can be placed on a firm footing. n Otis Rogers, Chairman a N ' oiGHT, BoYCE, Nichols, Akkermax, Rogers, Taegle i ] 1 1 Page 17

p. t In ' li Women ' s Council i npHE Chairman and five members of the Women ' s Honor Council are elected at the regular spring elections by vote of the women students of the Uni- versity. It rests upon these six girls to investigate and try the violations of the Honor System among women students, and to affix penalties ranging from probation to suspension in case the defendants are convicted. Final approval of the sentences imposed by the Council, and their administration rests with the Dean of Students. It has been the policy of this Council to take into consideration the individuals and the circumstances, and after investigating the viewpoint of both the stu- dents and professors concerned, to afiix penalties that were just, and that were simple in enforcement. All decisions rendered have been published in the Daily Texan for the information of the Student Body. Each girl on the Women ' s Council has tried most faithfully throughout the year to exert an influence which would strengthen student sentiment towards the Honor System.
