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." Newly-chosen Venture editors Debbie D. Woodden and Dirk Moore.
