Open House, Placement Among Press Conference Topics

By JANE BUHiDWOKTH Open House Policies, the placement of Longwood graduates, and health services were the major topics of discussion at the press conference on Thursday, October 24.

Ann Steger, vice chairman of Residence Board, asked Dr. Willett why the administration and the Board of Visitors were opposed to open house being extended ovei Oktoberfest.

Open House PoliciesThere is a growing dissatisfaction among students concerning open house regulations, and Residence Board is finally becoming the channel into which disgruntled students can pour their complaints, opinions, and suggestions.

Through them, the entire campus is becoming aware that current open house policies have become outmoded, and a need for revisions is overdue.

The era when the college substituted as parents; sheltering the student from the "evil world" is past. Yet; that is what Longwood attempts to do with their stringent open house regulations. The policies of allowing males in the dorm rooms only two days a week (and only on certain hours those two days), and demanding that male guests and their hostesses must not consume alcohol and must keep the door open is not only absurd, but also dictatorial.

In the first place, why only permit males in the rooms on Saturdays and Sundays? Is this because entertaining males on weekdays would interfere with studying.' If the college student is not mature enough to set up her own studying schedule and force herself to stick to it. will she notbe as easily distracted by the television, radio, and a hundred other things as she will by the temptation to invite her boyfriend up to her room?

And, to go a step further, we need to examine the open house hours on weekends. It has been stated that the halls are closed to male guests out of consideration to students (particularly those living in dorms with community baths) who need privacy to dress and shower. If the presence of males would really interfere with privacy to this extent, then this objection is understandable. However, I could list several dormitories, on other campuses, which have both community baths and relaxed visitation policies. The general consensus of opinion of these students seems to be that open house does not interfere to any great extent and that since everyone is aware that members of the opposite sex are present, they are careful to be "on guard."

However, if the majority of students on this campus do not want the halls to be open during certain hours, then I would agree that they should not be. Pat Watson, as well as other members of Residence Hoard, are currently making a sincere effort to find out how students feel about this. And, an alternate plan to campus-wide visitation policies which seems very feasible at this time would be to allow dormitories to determine their own policy on an individual basis. Under this system, open house policies may be better adapted to fit the desires of different groups of students.

Another policy which seems absurd is the fact that the student and her male guest are forbidden to drink alcohol during open house. Since female guests are permitted to drink, one can only conclude that, on some level, there is fear that alcohol might stimulate the Longwood lady into conducting herself in an unladylike manner in the presence of a male. Again, it is to be hoped that the student is mature enough to take the responsibility for her own conduct. After all, everyone, including Jesus Christ, is faced with temptation in his lifetime When Jesus Christ was tempted by Satan in the wilderness, He had no blue and white guardian angel hovering over Him to physically prevent Him from succumbing to temptation. Hehadtc face His temptation by Himself, which is what everyone, including Longwood ladies, shall have to do eventually. And, since the student cannot live her entire life within the confines of these hallowed halls, she must form her own set of morals by which to live when she is "on the outside." Why, then, should the school make an attempt to impose its morals on her when she is here'.'

The same is true of the regulation that the suite door and room door must be open during visitation Anything which the student and her guest might do (heaven forbid!) were the door closed can be done just as easily at some other place and time.

In the light of this, one realizes how futile the attempt, on the part of the college to teach students morality, along with English and Biology, really is.

However, I sincerely feel that the administrators on this campus are also aware of this absurdity, and are no longer interested in trying to "mother the students. And I am confident that Residence Board, in cooperation with the administration and the student body, will devise a more sensible system which will work to the satisfaction of the majority of students.

Commentary

Constructive Criticism, Not Gripes, In Order

By ANITA KIT AM) The unmitigated criticism to which Longwood's major publications have been subjected to was brought to the general attention of the students recently.

Those doing the majority of the complaining know exactly when this occurred; most of you were in attendance and-or actively supported the "event" which took place in the Rotunda that Thursday evening.

This is not to condemn such goings on. It is only normal that everyone has their gripes, and certainly everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But a little forethought is in order.

For some reason, no one outside of the staff members of these publications realizes what goes into making them possible. It's a lot of work and worry, but it is safe to say that most of the students involved enjoy their association with the Rotunda and the Virginian. That is, until criticism grows to such a degree that it casts shadows of disgust.

From the standpoint of the

LC And Oktoberfest - In Retrospect EDITOR'S NOTE: This letter was written by a former Ix)ngwood student who visited the campus over Oktoberfest week end.

TO: Students, staff, and organizations DATE: October 15, 1974 IiOngwood has many activities, but the one that the students spend the most time on and participate in, however little, is Octoberfest. The ones that spend a month exhausting themselves are mainly composed of individuals active in their class colors (I believe the slang term is "rah rahs.")

Oktoberfest is a very nice week

Rotunda, the complaints are basically the same week after week. "How could they print this," and "That's slander!" (sic) are some of the more often heard comments, usually in reference to items appearing under "Letters to the Editor."

The fact of the matter is that the staff has no real control here. It is the policy of the Rotunda to print all letters received, AS LONG AS THEY ARE SIGNED. Even those listed as "name withheld" do not appear until the identity of the student is revealed to the editor.

Of course, there are certain limits which must be observed, and careful consideration assures that THE Rotunda will not go beyond these limits. If you cannot stomach your peers' opinions, by all means do not read the "Letters to the Editor," or, for that matter, the commentaries in each issue of the Rotunda.

As for our yearbook, the Virginian, complaints have centered around the content of the book as a whole. Most

students expressed criticism because they felt that the 1974 Virginian was not a complete representation of the campus population. Certainly, no one can expect a handful of students to adequately cover all aspects of a year in the life of an entire student body. It must also be noted that it was not the staff's choice to be so few in number. If everyone who had a complaint would lend a hand, the 1975 Virginian would no doubt be more appealing to more students.

Do not be misled â&#x20AC;&#x201D; these publications are open to, and welcome criticism.

CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, that is. If you cannot think of anything to do but complain without any real reason or forethought - well, go ahead. After awhile, those around you will realize how ignorant you are.

If you do have a valid complaint or an intelligent, workable suggestion, please feel free to contact someone who can do something about it the staff members of these publications.

end for perspective students, family, and alumni, to see and to return to visit, the campus, and friends that were left when graduation was over.

The biggest fall back is on studies; even for the members of Geist and the ones backstage.

What academic value is there behind Oktoberfest? Yes - there is the gaining of friendships and the knowledge of working with others. Some may even receive some insight about the workings and the creating involved in a play production. All this can also be gained in other organizations and activities that are related to the student's field of study. Leave the play writing and performing to the Drama Department, and that is open to all.

In the middle of all the work, many students realize that they

are behind in their studies and begin to feel pressured by studies and also feel an obligation to working with Oktoberfest. They often say they will never get involved in it again, but then that week end is changed into such an emotional event, that it almost seems worth it. I don't believe it is! Investing the emotions is a big investment; and usually loses on the stock market. Never have I seen so many students, staff, and organizations, group together for week end, that when after it is all over, has achieved nothing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; except to entertain. There is money collected for scholarships, but all of this could be done without the COMPETITION. This time I was able to see and hear of the hurt, that many feel when they arcdefeated by a competition between the "reds" and the "greens." Many were hurt and the spirit in some was destroyed.

So many fighting for recognition. Many times jealousy develops even though it will never be admitted, and so many who deserve a little recognition, even if its just a "thank you," will never receive it. I experienced this while being an active member in this activity but I was also lucky enough to not be blinded by it.

The midway, hockey game, swim show, and art shows, are very enjoyable, but the skits are not understood by outsiders who have no idea what "blue and white sisterhood" is about.

I am not against Oktoberfest but I am against the competition that develops. Why can't the classes unite together for a week end that will be fun and understood by all.

Many students did not participate in Oktoberfest, except to attend, not because of apathy, but because of the ill feelings and competition within their own class! It often seems so "high school."

I know the competition aspect can be taken out of it, for there were many changes this year. I know that changes are hard to (Continued on Page 8)

Horton Art Collection On Exhibit In Bedford Thru The 22nd

By BETH RAFFERTY Miles and Ruth Horton are currently exhibiting twenty-two works of various types from their collection through November 22 in Bedford. The total Horton collection comprises more than two hundred art works which were produced by 20th century artists.

"We visit an awful lot of art galleries and look for the brightest colors. We fall in love with something and buy it if we can," stated Miles Horton. Their collection has been labeled "head and heart," because it is a group of works which displays the private taste of these two people.

"We started back in 1936," stated Miles Horton, and he added that, "we have even acquired things in foreign countries," among the twentytwo works displayed are oil paintings, gouaches, a woodcut, color lithographs, serigraphs, etchings, a collage and a water color.

The Hortons feel that a person can never own a painting, but may have the pleasure of keeping it for a span of time. Miles Horton strongly expressed his view on his being classified as an art collector by saying that "when someone uses that word it sounds

like garbage." He added that, "Let's just say we have acquired some paintings."

Miss Bishop, chairman of the art department, stated that the exhibit, "is a special delight and an auspicious collection of contemporary art which is expressive and rich in color and spatial relationships. Miles and Ruth Horton's selections emulate good taste, intelligence and an undeniable joy."

"Nightmare Abbey," is the name of the log cabin in which the Hortons live. The cabin, in which the Hortons live all year around, is accompanied by a studio, named "Headlong Hall." They are located in the mountains in Giles County.

Miles Horton stated that, "we lend the studio to anybody who asks for it, artists, students, and it's been used to compose music." He also added that, "we lent it to students at VPI for parties." He stated that the cabin, "is booked now through the end of March 1975." Miles Horton stated that "we are trying to get some students interested in photographing the mountain area," and added that anyone who was interested could use his studio.

Her style is a curious blend of folk, rock and neo-jazz. Her characteristic steady beat offers a solid line on which to build. Her apprenticeship as a writer gave her the ability to work with almost any style of music. She has shown, however, a move towards a jazz back-drop which has been infecting many artists today.

Dr. Kidder Speaks On Children And Mathamatics Dr. F. Richard Kidder, Assistant Professor of Mathematics of Longwood College, gave a lecture on Wednesday, October 23, entitled, "What Does Research Have To Tell Us Concerning Elementary School Children's Ability to Reform Euclidean Transformation?"

His lecture included a brief review of geometries culminating in a description of the four basic transformations, a discussion of the child's development of spatial concepts based on the developmental theory of the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget, a review of research on children's ability to learn transformational concepts, a report on the lecturer's own research, and a comparison of his findings with Piaget's theory and previous research.

Dr. Kidder did a training study of seventh graders to see whether he could teach them to perform Euclidean transformations at the representative level. He was unsuccessful though, in inducing significant learning through activities.

Dr. Kidder did his major research in finding out the child's capabilities with respect to the Euclidean transformation at the representational level. In this, he worked with the fourth, sixth, and eighth grade children. His result was that the majority of the children couldn't perform Euclidean transformation at the representational level.

Dr. Kidder has done a previous lecture in Minneapolis to a group of math teachers this fall. He also plans another lecture in St. Ix)uis for sometime in March.

"The purpose of the literary magazine," states Karen Foster, editor, is "(1) to encourage student participation in the areas of literature and art; (2) to provide the students, faculty, and administration with an enjoyable collection of creativity; and (3) to sponsor the annual literary festival."

Karen also discussed plans that were being made for this year's GYRE and preparations that are now in progress. Karen commented, "as for contributions, we have had some poetry submitted.

However, we are just now beginning a major campaign to collect short stories, essays, reviews, more poetry, photographs and art work." She went on to explain the presentation of the literary magazine's collections. "This year the GYRE is introducing a new format totally unlike anything that has ever been presented at Longwood. It will be interesting and useful to say the least," she continued, "but because we want to surprise everyone, it is imperative that we keep the new format quiet until it comes out in March or April."

When asked how she felt being the editor of the GYRE, Karen

stated, "As far as the staff goes, we don't have a large one but it is larger than it has been in the recent past and it is extremely efficient." She explained that because of this, she does not feel that the literary magazines will end up in the floor as they have in the past.

"Because the budget was cut this year by $400.00, the GYRE has had to cut corners;" therefore, the staff will only print copies for those who subscribed.

Karen emphasized that only the students who have turned in their names and box numbers will receive a copy of the literary magazine. "If there is anyone who has not submitted her name and box number and wants a copy of the 75 GYRE," she explained, "may still hand it in to box 1135 in Lankford."

Sponsoring the Literary Festival is also an important function of the GYRE staff.

According to the editor, plans are now underway. "We already have several people who have consented to come and we are in the process of contacting others."

Karen ended by saying, "between the art editors Sharon Park and Lynda Edwards; the business manager, Sue Beers; sponsors, Mr. Otis Douglas and Miss Barbara Bishop; literary festival faculty coordinator, Dr. Quentin Vest; and myself, I think we can pull the GYRE out of the deep rut into which it has fallen."

Administration Shudders As Law Opens Student Files (CPS) — College students now have complete access to all confidential school files kept on them, under the terms of a new federal law.

An amendent to the Education Act of 1965, sponsored by Conservative Sen. James Buckley of New York, gives college students access to their own files, including high school and college personal recommendations. For students who haven't reached 18, the same rights are transferred to their parents. The law goes into effect November 20.

The material open to student inspection includes everything in his or her record: identifying data; scores on standardized intelligence, achievement and aptitude tests; academic work completed; level of achievement, including grades and test results; attendance data; interest inventory results; health data; family background information; teacher or counselor ratings and observations and verified reports of "serious or recurrent" behavior patterns.

Requests to see the material must be honored within 45 days.

Students may then request a hearing to challenge the content of school records and to request deletion of "inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropiate data contained therein."

The law furthermore forbids third parties - including most federal agencies - access to student records, unless the student has given written consent.

A school may lose its federal aid if it "permits the release" of personally identifiable records or files of students to anyone except: school officials and teachers "who have legitimate educational interest"; the officials of a school to which a student is transferring (if the student approves), and federal and state education officers if the records are necessary to audit and evalutate federally supported education programs.

Schools can also lose funds for failure to inform students of their rights concerning student records HEW has set up an ad-

ministrative office and a review board to investigate and settle complaints of violations.

The Buckley amendment has drawn shudders from most college administrators who envision bureaucratic overload and serious ethical and practical problems in regard to students' letters of recommendation. "letters of recommendation may tend to be worthless if faculty know that students may read them," commented Charles Whitlock, Dean of Harvard College." 'There will be a tendency for them not to be as honest as they were previously," he siad.

Stanford President Richard I-yman has written Sen. Buckley that his amendment is causing "considerable anxiety" among members of the American Association of Universities, noting that "obviously a personal recommendation is not likely to be candid if the writer knows it can be read by the subject."

Ix)bbist John Morse, director of government relations for the American Council on Education, said the concerns for educators were multifold: "Should records written two or three years before the law was enacted be opened?" he asked, "considering the violation of privacy of the persons who in good faith wrote confidential reports. And what is an offical file? Are notes of an interview made by a school's staff psychiatrist to be made available to a student?"

Morse said he feared that schools will probably have to rely more and more "on mathmatical, objective, noninterpretable statistics - namely, grades and test scores."

Meanwhile, most schools have been reviewing their policies on record-keeping and are developing standards as to what should be in cumulative student folders in the first place.

According to Higher Education Daily school administrators are being advised to "purge their cumulative files of materials which do not appropriately serve the student and the school."

By JANET COLEMAN On October 22, in Bedford Auditorium, Robert Forster, Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University, lectured on the topic of "Changing Views of the Reign of Terror in French Historiography." The lecture was presented as a part of the Visiting Scholars Program sponsored by the University Center in Virginia.

Robert Forster began his lecture with a brief explanation of the French Revolution and the events which led to the Reign of Terror. He pointed out that the Reign of Terror was a small fraction of the total revolutionary experience, lasting onlv one year, 179IM794.

Forster explained that Prance was faced with "a real enemy without and a real enemy within." The French Revolution did not develop in isolation. It involved men who were dedicated to a new future not just "wild men with beards."

Forster then proceeded to explain what various historians do with a particular event in history and how they treat it in their writings. He discussed the following historians: Carlyle, Michelet, Dickens. Aulard, Matiez, and Soboul.

Forster said that both Carlyle and Michelet created a sense of drama in their writings about the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. Dickens approached the period through the development of particular themes. Aulard saw the Reign of Terror as something uncomfortable. For Aulard, history was a series of problems that one should analyze. Matiez saw the Reign of Terror as the part of the Revolution which was "the center most worth remembering." Soboul investigated the Reign of Terror by studying police files.

Forster's purpose in explaining the various interpretations of the Reign of Terror was to show that historians are not always coldly objective, but are influenced by things around them. Forster said we need to "be aware of our prejudices."

Pi Gamma Mu

Membership Pi (iamma Mu, the national Social Science Sorority has recently completed it's honorary fall membership drive.

The sorority holds a membership drive each semester and perspective members must have a 10 average in at least 21 hours (if social science work and a 2.5 average overall. Mr. Marshall Hall, the sororities advisor, stressed the fact that social science majors are not the only students eligible. Any student who is interested in joining and meets the standards is eligible, 'ttiis includes transfer students from accredited colleges. Most students are not eligible until their junior year and this is one of tlic main reasons the membership drive is held twice a year.

Pi (iamma Mu was extremely active in the early 60's and had a large membership. It sponsored speakers and put out a newsletter pertaining to events surrounding the social science departments.

The membership and interest dropped during the late 60's and early 70's but has recently picked up again. The present members are hoping to regain the momentum of the early 60's and increased membership is a step in the right direction.

Comic Character Wins Law School Admission (CPS) — Doonesbury comic strip character Ms. Joan Caucus has been accepted at the law schools of Boston University and Georgetown following application to those schools on her behalf by Garry Trudeau, who draws the Doonesbury strip.

Trudeau has applied on Ms. Caucaus's behalf to law schools across the country. Almost all of the schools rejected her for various reasons.

Boston University originally rejected here, but then changed its mind after 300 students petitioned law dean Paul Siskind to reconsider her placement on the waiting list. Students supporting the petition drive argued that Caucus should be accepted because "her character is the type so sorely sought in today's time of moral crisis."

At the university of CaliforniaBerkeley law school, touble arose because Ms. Caucus does not have a social secuity number.

Following the practice of assigning to such persons the social secuity number of a person not likely to register at the university school officials assigned her number 567-88-0515, which is President Nixon's number.

Trudeau wrote on her behalf to the university saying that she was "reluctant to accept the Social Security number of a known felon" and offered his own number. University officials, noting that their "out-of-state" quota is filled, placed the Caucus application on their waiting list, but said that her acceptance was "highly unlikely."

Requests to run for major and minor offices will go out on Nov. 4 and will be due Nov. 10. Major offices include the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the five organizations. Minor officers are the secretary and treasurer of the organizations.

To run for the Chairman or Vice-Chairman you have to be a rising senior. The secretary and treasurer must be rising juniors. The required grade point average is 2.3.

The request to run may be picked up at the Head Table from Janie Pritchard or any member of the Elections Committee. The meeting of the candidates is scheduled for Nov. 12. Banners and publicity go up on Nov. 19. The campaign speeches will be given on Monday, Nov. 23. Voting takes place on Dec. 2 and 4.

Election Committee Note: Each year we have trouble getting people to run for offices. Hopefully this year we will have more people who are interested in taking an active part in our organizations and run for an office. It is going to be a sad day if our 5 major organizations have to be dissolved because no one cares to run. We could lose any voice wo have in our affairs here and the school could be run entirely by the administration.

Please take an interest in your school and think about running.

H-SC Glee Club To Perform Music On Tour Hampden-Sydney, Va. — The Hampden-Sydney College Glee Club will present a program of traditional and contemporary music in the Yorkminister Presbyterian Church, Grafton, Va., at 4 p.m. on Sunday, November 17 and in the Second Presbyterian Church, Petersburg, Va., at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 20.

The concert will be under the direction of Dr. T. Edward Crawley. Dr. Amos Lee Laine is accompanist, and students John Oldman and John Clegg will perform as baritone and tenor soloists respectively.

The 35-member glee club has toured extensively throughout Virginia and the Eastern Seaboard from Boston to Atlanta.

The glee club is one of the College's oldest and most active organizations.

'Hero Of Picaresque Novel' (Continued from Page 5) writing.

With the Picaresque Hero always in mind, Dr. Correa stressed that the development of this protagonist was affected not by basic internal or self generated changes, but was constantly being influenced by the cruel, hostile sphere of the external world and circumstances.

Tracing, then the development of the Picaresque Novel throughout time, Dr. Correa explained the evolution of a new cast of hero totally emerssed in degradation and the vile acts of deceit which resulted from trying to deal with the almost unrealistically harsh occurrences of daily life. Dr. Correa then stated that this fallen

hero had become what had originally deceived him, as he entered into a "brotherhood of thieves."

Not wanting to paint a totally darkened picture of the Picaresque Hero, however, Dr. Correa showed how the confessions which were often made by this fiend, while teaching a lesson also became quite humourous. Dr. Correa claimed, it was in fact through humor that the hero could effectively mock others and in turn himself. Of the Picaresque world, Dr. Correa said "he who deceives today, is deceived tommorrow."

Dr. Correa, throughout his lecture made constant references to the development of the Picaresque Novel in form and content. He showed how the Picaresque, dwelling on the three mam literary devices of satire, parody, and humor evolved into the 19th. century realistic novel.

Here, said Dr. Correa, a new type of hero was developed, exhibiting a major difference, the embodiment of compassion which enabled this character to be saved from the "path of degradation."

Ending his lecture, Dr. Correa referred to the summarization of a 1972 novel which embodies the very concepts found in the Spanish Picaresque. Here, though, said Dr. Correa, corruption on a military scale, involving prostitution, employed the benefits of modern transportation and technology to achieve ultimate material gain.

Retrogression (Continued from Page 4) keen awareness for the actual structure andforni of their songs.

The melody is reborn, and improvisations and solos on horns are becoming the norm. Although it is still electrified, it has a lot more class.

"Nightinggale" is a pleasant opening song that displays the standard King technique of background vocals and time sequences. It has a partial jazz tone, yet is more of an easy listening selection. "Change in Mind, Change of Heart," has a nice effect with strings and horns in the background adding a depth that has been lacking in some of her work. It works out slowly and builds, gradually, to an extremely controlled climax, never losing the total effect. Her latest hit, "Jazzman," displays the saxwork of Tom Scott. Despite the basic rock base, and the commercial quality that often mars efforts such as this, the song emerges as a success. It is arranged with imagination, and never approaches an over produced effect.

With "You Go Your Way, I'll (lo Mine." the music seems to drag slightly, and this destroys any overall effect Carole could have hoped to achieve. Even though there are some interesting vocal and musical time changes, the feeling that it is just a shade too slow hurts. "You're Something New " could have been (in any of her earlier albums. It is nice, but nothing spectacular, which is what may be said of "We Are In This Together." It has a gospel flavor that does not quite work with her style of vocalization.

The title song, "Wrap Around Joy," has sixty-ish background vocals, a boogie beat, some nice sax work by Jim Horn, and just the right touch of soul.

"You Gentle Me" could easily be the next single from thisalbum. It too has that 60's flavor with the shoo-be-do-bop-bop and slight echo on the lead vocal. It moves well, and has a great deal of polish and control.

Back on the senu-boggie, semisoul trend "My Ix>vin Eyes" is again a typical Carole King production that is skillfully wrought and well executed.

"Sweet Adonis" has a country

flavor that simply doesn't make it. It's not a bad number but it lacks something. "A Night This Side of Dying" is nice but again nothing spectacular, for Carole King.

"The Best is Yet to Come" has some fine horn work, although suffers from a lack of orginality in the music, yet the neo-jazz background carries off the total effect and creates a successful conclusion for the album. If we are to take the title seriously, it may as well be an indication that she intends further work with jazz WRAP ABOUND JOY is a successful album There are flaws, but on the whole, the work creates a very mellow effect.

Carole King's work with neo-jazz, although nothing new for her, is an indication that the levels of music are gaining some sanity.

The fads of "Fag Rock" and the sado-masso sound are slowly burning themselves out, and artists are returning to good solid music. The fact that it has been accepted by the masses is on itself astonishing. It can only give one hope as to the future. Carole Kinn is part of this shift, and I am sine that if she continues to work in I lie direction she has presently taken, her music will only be the better for it.

these anti-involvement demonstrations are very popular among students today and the general trend is not to get involved, but where will this end?

Surely someone would notice such an expensive work of art, especially since it was missing two weeks before it was offically reported.

Granted, this woven piece of carpet was not constructed by hand, but by mere machine; however, I do not feel that this warrants taking it from the dorm parlor from which it disappeared from under the furniture itself.

Other cases of missing items range from door locks to money.

Surely our Honor Code prevents every student from even considering removing these things, so naturally the fault lies in the hands of the owners who undoubtedly misplaced their belongings themselves.

Should capital punishment be enforced? Obviously not; every student is innocent until proven guilty. Who proves guilt? What evidence is there? What witnesses were there? If there is no evidence to an unwitnessed crime of mere thievery, where is justice? Face it people; there is none. The only thing left to do is replace our missing belongings, accept injustice, and remain un involved.
