Before the final procedures are
determined for a tentative operation
plan, several alternative honor system proposals will be circulated
pmong various organizations on the
campus to eventually formulate a
basic honor system plan.
An SGA committee, named to
Ftudy the proposal and headed by
Al Steilbcrg, submitted a set of
alternatives which could be studied
by faculty and student leaders in
finally working out the honor system which would go into effect at
UK. providing the student body approves the plan in December.
Other Plan Studied
This committee consulted with
various campus groups and received
replies from many colleges and universities throughout the United
States where effective honor systems
are reportedly being used.
Under the tentative plan, enrolling
students would be required to sign
en honor pledge before entering the
University. However, one possible
drawback to this proposal, as Steil-ber- g
pointed out, stems from the
fact that no one could be refused
admittance to the University on this
basis alone, under present
tions.
In fact, replies from other colleges
and universities which have honor
systems In effect indicate that
strictly enforced plans are used only
at private institutions. State universities find it difficult to refuse
admission on these grounds, Stcil-ber- g
said.

Each applicant will sign an agree- nient which stipulates that he will
serve on duty with the active Air
Force for a period of three years
and an additional three years of active participation in an Air National Guard unit. This would in- clude a minimum of 48 paid unit

training assemblies and 15 days field
training annually.
Should the tour of duty with the
active Air Force be less than three
years, the officer will be required to
serve a sufficient amount of time in
Air Guard units to total six years
of active participation in the reserre

The agricultural methods in Yu- goslavia are crude. Dean Welch re- ported. The farmers utilise oxen
