~ Discussion of Honor Council Retreat, which was held Oct 4th-5th

-Jesse I-B confirmed the general feeling that it was beneficial to have an

overnight retreat.

The trainings were:

-Mock trial in the hotel

thanks to Rachel Werner, Andrew Peterson, and Mary Green.

         ~ Discussion of the Honor Council website

-Laura and Abby have been in contact with Chris Kingsley and will be trained in

how to update the website this week.

-Miriam and Liz suggested the possibility of a discussion forum on GO. Everyone

liked the idea, so we will try to implement that soon.

-Jeremy suggested a link to old abstracts on GO. WeÕll try to get that up soon.

         ~Discussion of Honor Codes at other colleges

                  -Liz and Miriam mentioned that they had been contacted by Amherst, Williams,

                        and Wesleyan regarding the Honor Code at Haverford. These colleges are

                        interested in having some type of dialogue with Haverford students about the

                        Honor Code here and why it does/doesnÕt work. They are all interested, to

                        some extent, in modeling codes at their schools after our code. Council

                        members will be in touch with them.
