I think that's the good thing about the skippy jar, rewarding good behavior. And I feel like people are less likely to lie to put their name in and win candy rather than lie so they don't have to pay. Punishing bad behavior doesn't always work in a positive way in the end.

Maybe my inflation rate was too high. How about 50 cents?
The whole point is to get you to not blow off classes. I'd be a lot more likely to do that if I knew I had to cough up if I didn't (and we always had to fess up at meetings so that could be funny). That's more motivation to me than putting my name in a jar to get a pencil or a piece of candy.
Also, it depends on how small the campus is...the smaller it is the more likely you are to get busted if you were supposed to be in class at 10 AM Friday and sisters knew you were sleeping off Thursday night. Plus, it's an honors system. If you can't believe your sisters who can you believe?
