Dear Editor:
In response to the letter entitled 'Honor code logic,' we would like to share the following:
A student who has signed an honor code promising not to cheat should be grateful for the reminder of that commitment that a test proctor provides.
A student who has signed an honor code promising to be chaste should be grateful for rules that negate the option of finding oneself in an uncomfortable or tempting situation.
A student who has signed an honor code promising to be modest should not be bothered by modesty regulations, since their wardrobe would meet or exceed modesty specifications.
A student who has signed an honor code should be grateful for the opportunity to have guidelines through which his personal values could be aligned and established.
If all students would live up to their promises signed in the honor code, there would be no need for enforcement. Rules and procedures could then be seen as guidelines and helps to students striving to live up to their honor code commitments. Why are rules that have been previously agreed to by one's signature a problem? Is there any reason to be negative toward the enforcement of the honor code when one's life is in accordance with it? If you have honor, you have no need to fear.
