ASA considers
honor system
By Jodie Egan
Assistant editor
The Co-Curr Committee of ASA is researching the possibility of
instituting a student honor system at Augustana, an idea that was
briefly discussed in an ASA meeting earlier this year.
ASA members Tom Erickson and Linda Eggan are leading the
research effort for the Co-Curr Committee.
Erickson said that he and Eggan will be writing letters to various
colleges as they study the various forms of honor codes that exist at
colleges throughout the nation.
Erickson predicts that it won't be until after Interim that there
will be enough information gathered for ASA to make a recom-mendation
or a formal resolution.
He said that ASA originally recommended pursuing the idea of
an honor system for Augustana because of alleged past in-congruities
in discipline and because of a "national trend toward
honor codes."
President William Nelsen is most familiar with the honor system
at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn. Nelson was was vice presi-dent
and dean of students at St. Olaf before becoming Augustana's
president.
The St. Olaf Code includes the following elements that Nelsen
says are necessary to an honor system:
1. Faculty members are not present during exams.
2. Students sign a statement at the end of each test saying that
they did not cheat or see anyone else cheat on the test.
3. All unsigned statements are turned over to a student review
panel.
4. The honor system is administered by the students.
5. Anyone accused of cheating is brought to the student panel.
6. The student panel determines penalties for those found guilty
of cheating on tests.
The St. Olaf system is one that Erickson and Eggan plan to
review.
Nelsen says he would support the institution of a similar honor
system at Augustana. He gives three reasons why he would support
such a proposal:
First, he says that an honor system gives important responsibility
to students.
Second, Nelsen says that an honor system "takes the faculty out
of the inappropriate role of teacher as well as judge and jury on stu-dent
conduct at tests."
And third, Nelson says that an honor system would work well at
Augustana because of the positive kinds of students who attend
Augustana.
Nelsen added that an honor system would "build up a tradition
with students."

of Nebraska as well as teams from St. Olaf, the University of Min-nesota
