FROM THE PAST: The Willamette Valley was hit with a couple inches of snow during January 1992 Campus
didn't close even though most of Eugene shut. In the University's 117-year history, campus has closed only twice
because of bad weather. The first cancellations were in January 1969 when Eugene was hit with 34 inches of
snow during a three-day period. In 1985. classes were canceled Dec. 2 as Thanksgiving break was extended so
students would not have to travel back to Eugene over the state's ice-covered highways In 1928. Thanksgiving
break was canceled because of a flu epidemic. The administration just told the students they were not going
home for Thanksgiving, and they went to classes
CHEATING
Continued from Page 1A
extensive in 30 years — 67 percent of the 6,097
students surveyed admitted to some form of
academic dishonesty.
The problem of cheating on campus has
brought concern among faculty and adminis
trators.
"I'm concerned because wo have to be sure
that degrees we award are legitimate, and legit
imacy in part depends upon the integrity of the
academic process," VVessells said.
Kor a faculty member to process a formal
complaint against a student, a hearing is
required, which proceeds like a trial. A law stu
dent prosecutes the case, the accused student
can have a defense lawyer, and evidence is
entered in the courtroom.
Because some faculty members have hesitat
ed to participate in that system, the Student
Conduct Committee proposed an amendment
that would have created an academic dishon
esty hearing board and strayed from the legalis
tic attitude of the present student conduct code.
The University Senate defeated the proposal in
March 1992.
According to minutes from the Senate meet
ing. opponents spoke against the the proposal
because "the present system was working and
did not need fixing." Opponents also said that
due process would be placed in jeopardy, and
that the proposed motion would have people
who weren’t legally trained attempt to do legal
work.
But Peter Gilkev. funner chairman of the Stu
dent Conduct Committee, disagreed that the
present system is fine.
"The procedures are too complicated and
cumbersome, and the faculty don't want to
enter the legalistic process." he said. "They’re
either resolving it outside the system, or ignor
ing the cheating."
The problem of underreporting is shown in
another study by McCabe. in which (>7 pen ent
of the H02 faculty members surveyed said they
would go to "little or very little effort" to docu
ment a cheating incident
The students who responded to the survey
found that troubling. McCabe said in a tele
phone interview.
"What’s most difficult for students to deal
with is that they «»e so much cheating going on.
and they observe faculty doing very little about
it,” McCabe said.
The problem of student cheating will perpet
uate if faculty members continue to fail to
report such cases, he said.
A system that is too "legalistic.” which hin
ders faculty from reporting cheating and results
in a relatively low number of reported cases,
continues to trouble some faculty members.
"I think 40 cases out of 17.000 students is
unrealistic." said Gilkuy, a professor of mathe
matics. "I’m very uneasy that that’s the state of
affairs.
"It really worries me. It’s a big problem, but
I can’t prove it’s a big problem," he said.

"If you're going to put a pic
ture of a minority, you should do
tire same with all people," he
said.
One observer who (.ailed him
self "Africa X" criticized the stu
dent paper for editorializing its
news stories.
Muhammad said in her speech
that the Emerald had only one
minority on staff However, tire
Emeralds news department
includes six minority students,
representing just under one-fifth
of the 35-member staff
"We were not aware of other
students of color on the staff," she
said.
kuly Soto, o Ijitiuo-Ainericnn
who edits the Emeralds enter
tainment section, said she agrees
with the HSU that the three pho
tos were in had taste, but doesn’t
take sides with them on how they
handled their response.
“There was little thought put
into running the photos und even
less thought in the response," she
said. "I know fake and work with
him and I can't think there is any
bad intent behind the fact that
those men were African Ameri
can."
Other Emerald staff members
agreed with Soto when asked
