The Architecture and Law Schools did not
have elections although the Law School did
have balloting on the question of liberalized
exam administration. Results have not been
tabulated.

A referendum was also taken from all
candidates for degrees in 1971, excepting those
seniors in the Law and Medical Schools, for the
purpose of deciding whether the 1971 class gift
should be given to the Library, the
Undergraduate Research Fund or the Bayly
Museum.

The executive board will later determine the
division of allocations based on the weight of
votes.

Mr. Bagby expressed his opinion in his
policy statement that his contact with "many
diverse sections of the student body" helped
him greatly.

"I feel that through these contacts I have
been able to accurately evaluate student
opinion concerning our Honor System," he
said, "I feel that my activities at the University
and my sincere interest in the well-being of the
Honor System, in addition to my intention to
devote full time and attention to my position,
make me different from the other candidates."

Mr. Bagby said that he was not either a
traditionalist or a reformer, but rather "one
who seeks a rational, realistic approach to our
Honor System."

Supporting the single sanction expulsion, he
also expressed emphatically that the "system
can only function with a consensus support
from the student population, and that if this
consensus of student opinion did not exist that
the single sanction of expulsion should be
'reviewed'."

When queried on the concept of change in
the Honor System, Mr. Bagby replied that "if a
change in the system has to be made in
concurrence with student opinion, this change
should come in the area of the penalty rather
than in further limitation of the scope."

He also expressed the opinion that a
decision to reverse an expulsion of a student
due to the alleged stealing of some Cokes raised
interesting questions, particularly as to what
role student opinion should play in Honor
trials, and how the Honor Committee must
adjust to it.

"Ideally the Committee would be able to
poll student opinion in every case to determine
whether our student generation believed an
offense so reprehensible as to warrant
expulsion," he said. "Since this is not possible,
the Honor Committee can only feel for student
opinion and then try to interpret this opinion."
