charge of academic cheating (Sec

plinary probation for the re
mainder of the calendar year.
The key witness in the case
was a sophomore who had been
sitting in the third desk to the
left of the defendant during the
test The book had been on the
arm of the desk to the left of
the defendant, between the dc
! fondant and the witness.
The witness said the defen
] dant had been leafing through
the book.
Several days after the exam
he reported his suspicions to the
course instructor, who hadn’t
been present during the exam.
Asked why he hadn't told the
teaching assistant during the test,
the witness replied he didn’t
think the T.A. had enough “au
thority to do anything,” and felt
it would have disturbed the
Class." lie said he had felt it
would be better to talk to the
instructor later.
It was admitted that the defen
dant had thumbed through the
hook with the hope of finding an
answer, but that he wasn't "so

bate by outlining three affirma
tive points: political apathy grows
i in the three years between high
| school graduation and age 21;
[Kitential draftees should have
; some voice in the government;
and students are active in many
; phases of community life and
are governed by adult laws.
Jerry Norton and Ilandy Gragg
supported the proposition that
college students are too immature
and irresponsible to vote and illus
trated the point with a tain* re
cording of Monday night’s ‘‘black
out riot.”
Annette Buchanan further de
fined the civic role of 18- to 21
i year-olds. They participate in
community affairs, own property,
pay taxes, and are considered
adults in all civil areas except
, suffrage.
After the debate YR members
discussed the issue. John Zimmer
man pointed out that lowering the
i age would not be in the best in
| terests of the Republican Party
I since many students are influ
i enced by liberal instructors.
Other YR’s defended the matur
ity and responsibility of college
* students, especially as opposed
to young adults in the 21-30 age
j brackets. However, the club pass

familiar with the book that I
could find an answer in it.”
The witness recalled that it
was “very evident to me” that the
defendant had written on the
middle or lower half of his test
while referring to the book.
In summary, defense stated
that under the Code, the defen
dant was not guilty. The word
ing in the Code — “academic
cheating”—implies a completed
act, the defense maintained, and
since the accused “gained no ad
vantage whatsoever” from using
his book, an act of cheating was
not completed.
Prosecution answered that
if there had been fraudulent in
tent, the defendant would have
used an answer if he’d found one
and that an incomplete objective
does not constitute innocence.
In the second hearing, a
charge of plagiarism < Section
I.B. 2.a) was brought against a
freshman. Part of a composition
of the defendant had been copied
from a magazine. The plea was
guilty.
The defendant dorm counselor
testified as to his character. The
witness said he knows the defen
dant well and that he had never
been in serious trouble. The de
fendant stated he had never pla
giarized before.
The court found the defendant
guilty, and sanctioned him to dis
ciplinary probation for the re
mainder of the calendar year.
The third case was a closed
hearing. The charge was taking
and duplicating a master key of
the chemistry department and en
tering the chemistry stockroom
where only faculty members and
doctoral candidates are allow
ed. (Section l.B. 2.e.)
The defendant, a senior who
will graduate this term, pleaded
, guilty. The sanction imposed
was disciplinary probation for the
remainder of the student's stay
at the University, and a rendi
tion of labor.
