Favorable Response

Ninety-three percent of the poll respondents
answered yes to "Do you think an honor
system, either similar to the one now present or
different from it, has a place in the
University?" Four percent answered no and
three percent had no opinion.

The survey also revealed that "a majority of
respondents indicated their support of the
present scope of the Honor System (lying,
cheating, and stealing), with a significant
number (39%) indicating a preference to
enlarge the scope to include lying for liquor."
