<p>I think it’s time for the Honor Code to go. Permanently. The Code is treated as a joke by many students. Its function is similar to that of the appendix – vestigial. In olden days, the Code may have been important to campus life, but not any more. Now the Code is a useless system of rules that only becomes important to many when it’s about to disappear. </p>
<p>If the student body votes “no”, then why continue to have plenaries? Because Tom Tritton, not to mention the Honor Council, doesn’t believe in the democratic process. He keeps claiming that students can vote as they choose. But when the campus votes against his wishes, he can’t take no for an answer. Tritton doesn’t want to be remembered as the president who “lost” the Honor Code. But by being subverting the (apathetic?) will of the students to his own selfish needs, Tritton has shown that he is the one who truly lacks honor.</p>
