WACO, Nov. 12—UP)—Dr. Joe Fason, a retired Waco
dentist, was walking in downtown Waco minding his own
business when a man ran up behind him.
“Hey, Doc,” yelled Herman Frazier, Waco, tenderly
holding his jaw. “You gotta do something about this tooth.”
“Oh, no, you don’t,” aFson replied. “I quit that long
ago.”
“But, doc, you gotta do something,” Frazier insisted.
About that time Paul McGuffey passed by.
“Got some pliers?” Fason asked.
“Sure,” McGuffey said, and got them out of his car
parked nearby. Frazier’s aching tooth came out.
“He won’t be stopping me again,” Fason declared today.

By JON KINSLOW
Battalion News Staff
Over 78 per cent of students
polled were in favor of establish
ing an honor system for the School
of Agriculture. The survey, con
ducted by the School of Agricul
ture for Alpha Zeta, the honorax-y
agriculture fraternity, polled all
four classes to determine student
opinion on an honor system.
Some 200 agricultux-e students
wex - e questioned in the survey. Al
though all of the findings are not
conclusive, a definite trend is pre
sent.
When asked whether they would
x*eport offenders of the honor sys
tem, the->students polled said, “No,”
almost five to one.
The questionnaire also asked if
the students would be willing to
sign an affidavit after they took
an exam, stating that they had

of the class.
The chaix-man will also discuss
further action to be taken by the
committee.
neither received nor given help,
the answer to this was an equally
emphatic “No.”
Fi-om these questions, it would
appear that agx-iculture students
would like an honor system, but
would not be willing to do their
own monitoring.
“We were planning to staxt the
system this year, but have decided
to begin with next year’s fish
class, said Gene Steed, AZ px-esi-
dent. Alpha Zeta will discuss the
system latex-.
Students also wex-e asked,
“Would you swear under oath that
the grades you have received on
all examinations taken at A&M
were due to your owxx knowledge
and that your answers did not re
flect in any way outside help of
any kind.” To this, students ans
wered 37.6 per cent yes, and 62.4
per cent no.
Other questions asked and the
percentages for and against are as
follows:
“Do you think such a system
would work,” 50 per cent yes, 50
per cent no.
“Do you think that a student’s
honor should demand that he do
the best he possibly can on his
own without outside help x-egard-
less of the type of examination ox-
test?”—79.2 per cexxt yes, 20.8 per
cent xxo.
“Do yoxx believe in honor above
self?”—88.7 per cent yes, 11.3 per
cent xxo.
“Do you think the students se
lected to administex- such a plan
would be fair in their decisions?”
75.8 per cent yes, 24.2 per cent no.

20, to check the complete reports

“If thex-e isn’t enough money,
we will either have to ask for more
