endeavoring to promote the Honor System-through orientation of new students
and faculty members, meetings with various groups for discussion of the
Honor System, and other continuing efforts to impress upon each Florida
Student the tremendous personal importance to him of fulfilling his obligations
under the Honor Code.
 Another and no less important responsibility of the Honor Court is the
trial and penalizing of violators of the Honor Code. The jurisdiction of that
body is simple, yet precise: Those students who ignore their pledge of honor,
and cheat or steal or pass bad checks, are brought before the Student Court
for a fair trial and if found guilty are penalized, occasionally to the extent
of expulsion from the University. Practically speaking the Honor Court serves
thereby to vindicate the group promise made by the entire Student Body in
any case of a breach of that promise.
 Your time with the Honor Court during Orientation Week will be well
spent. You are urged to take this opportunity of becoming acquainted with
the part of your Student Government with which you as a Florida Man or
Woman will inescapably be concerned throughout your stay at the University.

 YOUR STUDENT GOVERNMENT
 Student Government at the University of Florida is modeled after that of
the United States in many phases. It is a cooperative organization based on
confidence between the Student Body and Administration. Much authority has
been granted Student Government in the regulation and conduct of student
affairs, including many extracurricular activities and the administration of
the Honor System.
 To introduce incoming students to this division of the University, a Student
Government Forum is planned as part of the orientation program. In small
groups the new students will assemble in the Executive Council room, where
they will meet the President of the Student Body. He will then introduce the
Vice-president, the Secrtary-treasurer, and Chancellor of the Honor Court,
who will administer the Student Body Oath to the group. A film on Student
Government will be shown, and a short question and answer period will follow.
The group will then be conducted through the Student Government Offices.
 Student Government is vitally the concern of the student. Each student,
after paying his activity fee, becomes a member of the University of Florida
 Spring elections include rallys, speeches, and real down-right "politickin".
