I would like first to applaud the
courage of the Honor Committee for
reversing their decision regarding
the Coke stealing incident. This
decision demonstrates that the
Honor Committee has finally
discovered the passage in the Blue
Sheet on honor that "... the
Honor System shall concern itself
solely with those offenses which are
classified as dishonorable by the
public opinion of the student
generation involved."

The Honor Committee should
make an introspective study to
determine whether a reversal should
have been necessary. Had they
considered the aforementioned
passage during this trial perhaps the
Honor Committee would not have
made the mistake that almost cost a
student his education at Virginia.
Again, I must compliment the
Committee on a decision which has
left them wide open to criticism.
Better late than never as they say!
