Australia Denounces Khrusli

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.. Oct. 5 (AP) Australia denounced Soviet Premier Khrushchev today as a hypocritical latter-da- y
Caesar trying to break up the U.N. and advance his influence by threats and
violence.
The sizzling attack came as a tense struggle shaped up in the U.N.
General Assembly over an apparently foredoomed neutralist attempt to
bring President Eisenhower once again face to face with the Soviet
leader.

Whites Vote On African Status

JOHANNESBURG, South Arica, Oct. 5 (AP) A massive turnout
of South Africa's white minority voted in balmy weather today on
whether this country should abandon its status as a constitutional monarchy under the British crown to become a republic.
Approval of the plan, backed by the white supremacy government
of Prime Minister Hendrik F. Verwoerd, could lead to South Africa's
ouster from the multi-racicommonwealth.

A report from the office of Registrar Charles F. Elton shows that
approximately 1,550 students who returned to the campus for the fall
term did not preregister last spring.
This is almost
of the returning students who were enrolled
at the University last spring.
Investigation will substantiate the
fact that the majority who followed
the directives of the registrar had no
trouble paying their tuition and
completing registration.
With that uncooperative
of the returning student body lies
the cause of the registration problems
of the first week of school.
Much criticism has been levied
at Dean Elton, but it is not entirely
justified, nor can lack of communications bear the burden.
It is the indignant and uncooperative spirit of an everpresent minority

Let's Be Fair

The Seating Plan
Student Congress President Bob
Wainscott's
recent announcement
that the congress is planning to make
arrangements to allow Greeks groups
tnd their dates to sit together has
aroused considerable indignation
among independent students.
A petition calling upon SC to
reconsider the decision to request
special sections for Greeks has been
circulated and been signed by approximately 70 students. The petition,
although it does not represent a large
group, was in circulation for only an
hour and many more students than
are listed share its views.
The complaint of these students is
justified. If there are to be reserved
sections for some students, why not
reserved sections for all students? We
do feel, however, that there should
be some clarification of SC's proposed

request.
Last year's reserved seating arrangement placed all the Greek
groups that wanted to sit together in
a block of seats runSection
line to the
ning from the
d
line. Seats between the
line and midfield were available
to all students on a
basis. Any overflow from the
reserved section was directed to the
less favorable Section A.
In spite of repeated attempts by
Student Congress, the Interfraternity
Council, and the University ticket
office to get the reserved seating
plan functioning properly, it never
did operate as had been planned.

the lure of better seats in the other
sections caused the reserved section
to remain unfilled.
We recall several other complicaarrangetions of last year's
ment, including a demand from the
Law College that they be permitted
to sit in the reserved section
(granted), one from Engineering students for the same privilege (partially complied with), and an alleged
boycott of the Louisiana State game
by independents. What started out as
an earnest attempt by Student Congress to accommodate Greek groups
without inconveniencing others event"confuually turned into
ill-fat-

While the situation is not as great
an infringement of the rights of
students as it would appear
first glance, it is nonetheless unat
fair. It is unfair to those who would
like to be able to sit anywhere they
please in the student section; it is
unfair to Student Congress, which
has innocently tripped into an unexpected hotbed of student reaction;
Greek system
and it is unfair
which must combat the ill will generated by the actions of the small
minority of its members who, acting
for it, requested special seating privnon-Gre-

We strongly urge Mr. Wainscott
and the congress to reconsider their
action, weighing carefully the fairness of their decision. The congress
should remember that it represents
all students, not just the Greeks who
dominate it.

that created the registration problem
and it is that minority which should
be the object of their own rantings.
They have been punished by standing in lines, waiting in packed corridors, and running back and fourth
from professor to professor, from
dean's office to dean's office.
But there is still no acceptable
excuse for such neglect on the part
of students. Dean Elton feels there
should le no exceptions to the fee
levied against late registrants. The
present penalty is $3; it should be
increased to a sum substantial enough
to deter students who plan to wait
until everyone has registered to pay
their fees.
Even more stringent is a recommendation that late registration be
discontinued entirely. The present
registration periods would Ix; adequate if students would follow instructions.
It is impossible to evaluate a new
program such as preclassification
without the cooperation of everyone
involved. Without evaluation, the
program cannot be improved.

Are We Ready
From the editorial columns of the
Furman Hornet came the following:
"A Furman student experiencing
her first year in an American educational institution remarked the other
day as the was preparing for her first
quiz, 'Over here it is different. You
do not cheat. In my country, everyone cheats. It is a game among the
students to outwit the professors
"She went on to say that there was
no student pressure against cheating
or any feeling that it was wrong. True,
the professors disapproved, but wliat
could they do? Open books, cheat
sheets, anything was considered fair
play, and it was every man for himself.

"It sounds appalling. Or does it?
We may not be so open in our admissions that cheating does occur, but
we must admit it liecome something
as dishonest as a 'cheat' a liar."
This editorial raised a question in
our mind. Are we liars. Do we shut
our eyes to cheating? Is cheating a
game here, too, as it is in that foreign
country?
We would like to say, "No, our

?

students are mature enough to realize thai if they cheat, they are robbing themselves of an education."
We are not sure, though. We have
seen students berating us for revealing that a football player was caught
attempting to steal an examination
paper from a professor's office. We
have heard students comment that
Charles van Doren was not leing
justly treated when he testified before
a Senate committee last year.
The young lady from a foreign
country where cheating was merely
winked at has accepted the honor
system at Furman. Honor systems are
coming into existence at many colleges and universities. We wonder if
UK students are ready for the mutual
trust anil moral courage required
under such a system.
We certainly hope so.
