Lying for Liquor

A student poll taken in 1969
showed, however, that students did
not consider this act reprehensible.
Lying for liquor was deleted from
the jurisdiction of the Honor
Committee that year.

Because the Committee also felt
that it was unreasonable for the
Honor System to apply to all facets
of a student's life, geographical
boundaries were established in
1969. The Honor System became
applicable only within
Charlottesville and Albemarle
County and in situations in which
an individual was trusted due to his
status as a University student.

According to Mr. Bagby, it was
felt that the geographical limits
would make the System "more
workable and more supportive."
