Cedar Hill Delegates Vote to Keep Student Support of Radcliffe Paper

The Radcliffe News will probably be rechartered for two years with compulsory student support, according to a unanimous recommendation by the 'Cliffe's Cedar Hill Conference, yesterday.

The News must have subscriptions from the entire college to break even financially, Anny Werman '55, chairman, reported.

"We need a newspaper to preserve Radcliffe's identify," she said. "Many people feel that we're too much part of Harvard already, and the problem would be increased if there were no place to print exclusively Radcliffe issues."

If the Student Council carries out its recommendation, the entire college will vote on it later in the spring. Compulsory subscriptions to the News add $1.50 to each girl's student government dues, which total $6 this year.

Honor System in Jeopardy

The Conference also discussed the report of a special committee, which is reviewing the Annex Honor System. "Public opinion is stronger against reporting violation than against actual cheating," Lois A. Dickson '54, Council president, said. The number of violations has not decreased, despite a drive to publicize the responsibilities of the honor system this fall.

The consensus of opinion among the Conference members was that students resist reporting offenders, even though such reporting is necessary for the system to function. Social ostracism of the reporter by friends of the offender was felt to be one of the chief factors in the girls' reluctance to report infractions.

Another factor in the seeming lack of the system's success is the inadequate publicity given to it. One girl reported that a proctor had given her permission to take her examination question out of the room, although this is against the rules of the honor system.
