The program, which helps migrant and seasonal farm work ers obtain General Educational Development certificates, could be in its final year of operation if pending federal budget cuts are passed. "After 37 years, it's really scary to think this project won't be around to serve these students who are in need," HEP Director Emilio Hernandez lr. said. The U.S. House-Senate Conference Committee has proposed a $ 19 million funding figure for 11EP programs nationally, Univer sity Federal Affairs Director Betsy Boyd said. The figure is $6 mil lion more than President Bush's recommendation for the Sen ate s proposal and $5 million shy of the House recommendation, which would have guaranteed full funding. The House is expect ed to vote on the funding — which is part of an omnibus spend ing bill — next week, and the Senate will vote sometime in Janu ary, she said. Hernandez said this figure means eight of the 59 programs in the nation will likely be cut. Although the University's program has always received funding, he said it could still be cut depend ing on the criteria used by the U.S. Department of Education. "What we're worried about is how those projects will be taken out," he said. Hernandez said it is one of the larger programs in the nation and larger programs could be targets because they cost more. Turn to FUNDS, page 3 Students design, construct ‘chapel’ for recycling uses University architecture students are designing the open-air gathering place as part of a fall-term class By Caron Alarab News Reporter As an architecture student, Sarah Wagoner has always want ed to see her building designs come to life. With little con struction experience beyond helping her parents remodel their home, she jumped at the opportunity to take a class this fall in which students design and build a sustainable facility in Eugene. "It's rare that you get to be able to point to an actual structure and say it's your accomplishment of one term," the third-year graduate student said. "It all sounded pretty interesting." Wagoner and 14 other architecture students are designing and building a unique open-air gathering place in Glenwood for BRING Recycling, one of the nation's oldest non-profit recyclers. The 300-square-foot pavilion-like building is part of BRING's new Planet Improvement Center and has been christened "The Turn to RECYCLING, page 3 JH£ Go» sctyocNces of QSATLNO tbCiMNT 0&X1NCO eePotuo Student Judicial Affairs Director Chris Loschiavo said 33 students have gone through the Office of Student Judicial Affairs on accusations of academic dishonesty.

Adam Amato Photo Editor Cheating students may face severe repercussions and sometimes threaten their peers’ quality of education By Jennifer Marie Bear News Editor If you get caught cheating, you can expect to receive an F in the course. Some students might consider this a PART 3 OF 5 Monday: Why students cheat Tuesday: Ways students cheat Today: Repercussions of cheating Thursday: Ways to stop cheating Friday: Profile of a cheater harsh punishment, but University officials say the stu dent conduct process is intended to be a learning expe rience, not a small-minded punishment. "The goal of the student conduct process is educa tion, not to have something haunt you for the rest of your life," Student Judicial Affairs Director Chris Loschiavo said. So far this term, 33 students have been processed through the Office of Student Judicial Affairs on accusa tions of academic dishonesty, Ixxschiavo said. Although the student conduct code isn't intended to be excessively punitive, students who are caught cheating will face serious repercussions, Loschia vo said. A first-time academic dishonesty violation will earn a student an F in the course, and if the stu dent intentionally cheated, he or she will also be required to go through an educational pro gram on academic integrity. But repeat offenders can expect harsher consequences for their transgressions. Loschiavo said students who are caught cheating a second time will most likely be sus pended.
