Conduct Late today and tomorrow, Ags will be leaving the campus by the hundreds to take Highway 6 south for the Corps trip to Houston and the Aggie game with the ambi tious Owls of Rice Institute. Two big problems will face the visitors on the trip— traffic safety and general conduct. The road to Houston will undoubtedly be packed with cars and over such a long weekend, possibilities of traffic accidents are great. A fund for Aggies has been started in the College Station State Bank in case any wrecks occur and Aggies need medical aid. Some hospitals might not treat victims unless they can show financial stability. It might be wise for every Aggie going to Houston to place a card on the dashboard or window saying that in the College Station State Bank are sufficient funds to cover medical expenses. The fund was started for such use. It’s hoped that these funds won’t be needed and all Aggies will drive carefully but if needed they are there. The other big problem is conduct. Naturally it’s hard to forget the fracas at TCU and some may think it might be similar in Houston. It could be but once again the chances are not near as great if all Aggies act like the No. 1 school in the nation. Only as a method of self-protection should Aggies be involved in childish battles in the bayou city this weekend. The major thing every Aggie should have his mind on is beating Rice, winning the Southwest Conference championship and the national championship. Minor things like involving themselves in petty battles should be least in their minds. Houston’s thousands will be welcoming the Aggies with open arms and will be expecting them to act like the men they claim to be. It will be the worst thing possible for A&M if we as visitors provoke violence in return for the city’s warm welcome.

By living under an Honor code, you are offered many rights that would not be available without the Code. The Honor Code pro tects the honorable student from the few irresponsible individuals who have failed to accept the meaning - of right and wrong. It means that your spoken word will be accepted as the truth. For example, by one of the occupants of a room saying “all right” during an inspection for lost articles it would excuse that room from the inspection. The use of the “all right” is an important part of the code. It can be used at any time that it might be deemed appropriate. All in all, for a man who wants honor, the code will make his life more wholesome and livable. If you, as an individual, want to do right, you have a chance to gain something from the code that you can carry with you the rest of your life. Interpretation of Article I— Under the Honor Code you will never intentionally tell a lie. A lie consists of any untruth wheth er it be spoken or written. A signature on a false statement is considered a lie. A cadet is considered to have signed his name whether he prints it, uses only his initials or signs it in full or in part. A cadet who knowingly allows another cadet to affix his signa ture to any official document while knowing it to be incorrect commits a violation of the Honor Code. Under the Honor Code you would be expected to be truthful at all times. This does not mean that the code could be used for any other purpose than directly pertaining to honor among mem bers of the Corps. Persons could not be asked leading questions to make them lie. Interpretation of Article II— The taking - of another person’s property without his consent with the intent of keeping it is more commonly known as steal- iing. Many occasions will arise where a little common sense will be all necessary to determine whether actual theft has taken place. For example, it would hardly be considered a violation of honor for friends to hide things as practical jokes. Interpretation of Article III —Unauthorized assistance in cludes the use in class of any in formation other than that ap proved by the instructor. This information might be written or verbal helps from classmates. Any material may be used out side class as long as it was not obtained by illegal means. Unit quiz files and personal files are considered legal. It would be a violation of the Honor Code for an individual to copy any piece of work and turn it in as his own, since when this individual signs his name to the work, it means it is his own personal work.
