Students Give
Varied Ideas
On Cheating
By Helen Jackson
Since the administration has
asked students to fill out forms to
determine as nearly as possible just
how extensive cheating is on the
campus, today’s question seemed
appropriate in finding out whether
students,' themselves, thought
cheating was extensive.
The question was “Do you think
there is an extensive tendency to
cheat in examinations on the U of
U campus :
Bob Heffernan—sophomore in
pre-law—“I think that the desire
for cheating is no more prevalent
here than on other campuses but
the opportunity to cheat is em
phasized by the laxness of the pro
fessors to enforce personal honesty
in examinations.”
Gwen Ramsey—sophomore in
liberal arts—"I don’t know posi
tively but I do know of a few stu
dents who make it a practice to
use “ponies” which to me is an in
dication of ignorance and lack of
self-respect.”
Angelo Giovanini—junior in PE
—“Definitely. It’s the congestion
of the buddy-buddy plan, this you
sit-by-me-and-I’ll-sit-by-you stuff.
I think they should have more
proctors to control the classes.”
Joan White—senior in history—
“I've never seen any cheating in
the classes I’ve been in but I ve
certainly hoard about it. It seems
to be mostly in lower division
courses and departmental tests but
not so much in my upper division
courses.” _
Roy Glubrecht—junior in busi
ness--“No, I don’t think so. I’ve
just seen a few guys who cheat.
Most of them have more conscience
about the whole matter.”
Een Schroeder—junior in archi
tecture—“At Bakersfield College
cheating was much more ramp
ant than here at Oregon. I prefer
the honor system to threats and
punishment leaving it up to the
students. Cheating seems to vary
with the class, the larger the class
the greater the opportunity to
cheat.”
Jane Dumo—freshman in liberal
arts—“Well, it seems to depend on
the class! Some professors defin
itely don’t care. ’Most everyone
who gets a chance seems to do it.”
John Merryman—sophomore in
business—"Yes, although I don’t
think there is as much cheating
in business as in liberal arts courses
because there is little opportunity
in BA.”
Pat McGlnty—senior in business
_“Yes, I’ve noticed a great deal
of it in my business classes—in
ponies, copying and in test getting
out before hand. I think they should
keep tests under lock and key and
anyone proved cheating should at
least flunk the course.”
Jack Cardinal©—freshman in
pre-law—“A tendency to cheat? I
think there is. Most students don’t
want to cheat but grades are em
phasized so much that they do so
in self-protection.”
Jr. GOP, Solons
(Continued from pa</e one)
Collin advocates a luncheon with
the Lane County delegation to the
legislature and other state of
ficials, possibly including Gov.
Douglas McKay, during the visit
if it can be worked out.
Among the problems facing
planners are transportation, ar
rangements, ways of keeping down
expenses, excusing students from
classes, and discovering what stu
dents would like to attend, he ex
plained.
The local president believes that
a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon
would be most feasible for the trip.
P. L. Campbell became President
of the University in 1902. Combin
ing personal charm and humor
with a certain idealism of charact
er, Campbell, after whom Susan
Campbell hall is named, gradual
ly won his way in the state until
he was far stronger than his insti
tution.

Any harm in a nap after
Dinner?
To most of us a nap after Thanksgiving din
ner is as much a part of Thanksgiving as the
turkey itself. And there’s no harm in that if
we don’t stay asleep to the responsibilities
that go with the good things we have to be
thankful for . . . the good things we enjoy
only because we are a free people.
But too many of us go right on napping
year after year.
45 million Americans failed to exercise
their right to vote in the last presidential
election! They were asleep to one of the
most fundamental duties of free Americans.
How many millions more of us are asleep
to our other duties as citizens of a democ
racy? How many of us are napping when
we should get out to our Town Meetings
and other civic government groups? How
many millions of us pay union dues and
don’t vote in union elections — own stock
but throw away our proxies? How many of
us dodge jury duty?
These are our rights as free people! These
are the rights we’d all hate to lose—yet so
many of us do so little to help keep them.
We must do more than give thanks for the
good things freedom gives us—on Thanks
giving or any other day of the year. We
must work to keep our freedom. We have a
government “of the people”—and only the
people themselves can make it work right!
It takes ISO million full-time, wide-awake
citizens to keep our democracy going —
to keep it going strong!
EVERY HOME should have this guide to
the Rights and Duties of an American.
Do you know your rights? Do you know the
nine keys to good citizenship . . . the how
and why of each? You 11
