Reprinted From The Chronicle of Higher Education (Sept. 12, 1975)

By MALCOLM G. SCULLY Charlottesville.Va. There is only one penalty for a violation of the honor code at the University of Virginia here: permanent explusion from the university.

Honor violations are handled exclusively by an all-student honor committee, which holds hearings that are similar in many ways to a trial. A student who has been found guilty of cheating, lying, or stealing, has but one choice: leave the university.

The system has been in effect since 1842 and is one of this tradition-conscious university's most honored institutions. But, in the eyes of many students, faculty members, and administrators across the country, honor codes like Virginia's are anachronisms — relics of an era when higher* education was reserved for an elite few who share common cultural and social values.

What some observers describe as a significant increase in cheating, especially at large universities, has forced many institutions that have honor codes to reappraise and in some cases abandon them in the past several years.

Accompanying the rise in cheating has been a growing reluctance on the part of students to police their own ranks by reporting incidents of cheating.

Without such student participation, an honor system cannot work.

Thus, where once students began an exam by signing a pledge that they "would neither give nor receive aid on this examination," now they are being watched by proctors.

A Handful Of Honor Codes Today, honor codes that depend on students to identify and punish cheaters are limited to the military academies, a small number of private colleges and universities, and a handful of public institutions like the University of Virginia.

Students, faculty members, and administrators at Virginia say the honor code still works, primarily because students continue to accept the responsibility for enforcing it.

Cases of cheating or stealing are rare on the campus. In an average year, about 30 students are accused by other students of cheating, lying, or stealing.

About 10 are dismissed from the university.

Even so, the honor system here faces strains, not so much because of an outbreak of cheating, but because the procedures used to enforce it have been criticized for allegedly denying procedural safeguards to students accused of violations.

The "single sanction" of dismissal has also come under fire.

The honor committee plans to conduct a survey of student opinion on the honor system this fall. In a previous survey. conducted three years ago, more than 80 per cent of the students said they supported the system Elsewhere, institutions report increasing unease about the effectiveness of their honor systems.

At the Johns Hopkins University, undergraduates voted last spring to abandon their 51-year-old honor system, primarily because they felt it was no longer effective in preventing cheating on the campus. A poll conducted by students last spring revealed that almost 30 per cent of all undergraduates had cheated in one way or another by the time they reached their senior year.

About 70 per cent of the students said they had seen cheating take place and had done nothing to stop it.

System Called A 'Farce' Steven Muller, president of the university, commented: "It's been known for years that Hopkins is a very competitive school. Eor some time there have been allegations of pretty consistent cheating. People were saying the honor system was a farce, that it was a disgrace to call something an honor system which wasn't."

Students at Hopkins will vote this fall on an alternative system to prevent academic dishonesty.

Mr. Muller said that under the honor code, "students had been very reluctant to turn each other in. It was becoming such a severe problem they felt it would be better to have something that has more teeth in it."

The new system will provide specific procedures "to dissuade cheating on exams," he said. It will require alternate seating during exams and the establishment of explicit definitions of what constitutes plagiarism.

"As an educator. I very much regret this, but when something clearly isn't working, there Is no sense in sticking with it." Mr. Muller said.

Mr. Muller said the undergraduates' decision could be viewed positively as well as negatively: they didn't think the honor system was preserving academic integrity, so they voted to develop a system that would.

The University of California at Davis the only campus of that university with an honor system also has found that its system has been ineffective for the past several years. A recent report by a faculty committee commented: "The present status of the honor spirit has been variously characterized as a 'joke,' as shakv,' as 'a farce.' or as dead.' " 16 Per Cent Admit Cheating The report indicated that lfi per cent of the students on the Davis campus admitted openly that they had cheated at one time or another. Among the reasons the report cited for the "erosion" of the honor system: • "A feeling of pressure to achieve high grades in a prescribed curriculum in order to be able to pursue some longrange objective later on." t "Large class sizes and crowded examination conditions." The report said the impersonality of such classes made cheating a "high-reward, low-risk activity."

• "Inferior or unfair examinations.

Multiple-choice and one-word answer tests were especially criticized. . ."

• "A reluctance to question or challenge the suspected misbehavior of another student, whether friend or not. An emphatic sense that students are on one side in an adversary relationship with the faculty."

The report from the committee also commented that students felt that "society at large seems to place little value on honesty."

As a result of the survey and general feelings that cheating (Continued on Page 7)

Dear Editor, The simple fact is, marijuana is fun to smoke. ... In my own study of marijuana users, pleasure emerged as the dominant motive for continued use. Almost 70 per cent said that sex was more enjoyable high.

In Order To Stop Fellow Students From Stealing

By DONNA LOWE AND RUTH BOURNE As many of you already know the stealing that has taken place on campus has reached epidemic proportions. Talk to your friends; I think that you will be surprised to find that most of them have experienced some mishap. The ironic part is that only a handful, nine to be exact, of stolen article reports have been turned over to the Judicial Board. Students do not turn them in because they feel that nothing will be done.

Obviously, if Judicial Board does not know what is happening on campus they can not do anything to help you. If students would report stolen articles perhaps some sort of pattern could be denoted, hence, some action taken. It could be that one hall is having an excessive amount of trouble. Maybe things are only taken during a certain time of day. A little responsibility on the students part could be a lot of

Commentary:

Academic Credit Should Be Given For Organization Work

By BF.TTIE BASS One of the topics that came up for discussion at the second semester Student Staff Retreat was whether or not student leaders should receive some sort of payment for their jobs. I feel that we should receive some sort of compensation. The comment was made that personal satisfication was enough payment, but I think you should receive personal satisfaction from any job you may be employed in. Numerous student leaders at other colleges and universities get paid (in money) for their duties. I think semester hour credits should be given according to the type of job and how much time is required to do it. I, personally, am taking 3 hours less this semester because of being the editor of the yearbook and vice-chairman of ihe Student Union. I don't know how you would evaluate the amount of time one puts in a job, but I certainly think this should be looked into for the future.

Student Government Week Scheduled For Feb. 2 23-27

By Mary Ixmise Parris Student Government week has been scheduled for Feb. 23-27 here at I-ongwood. The highlight of the week will be Student Government Day on Thursday.

Feb. 26. You may be asking yourself, "What is Student Government Day and what does it have to do with me?"Student Government Day is a special day set aside for two main purposes; (1) an opportunity for the administration and your elected student government officers and representatives to spend a day together, thus enabling them to gain insights into each other's responsibilities and concerns, and gather recommendations and solutions to various problems, and (2) an opportunity for you, as a member of the student body, to become more aware of and involved in your own Student Government.

Students may sign up for a table with an administrator and student government officer or representative at lunch on Feb. 26. Here's your chance to express your complaints, suggestions and opinions as well as listen to other students'and the administration's views. Other activities planned for Student Government Week include a Student Government Forum, Tuesday Feb. 24 immediately after dinner in the Rotunda.

Students may ask questions or make comments on any phase of Student Government. Tuesday afternoon, at lunch, students may write up questions they would like answers to and turn them in at a designated place. Then.

Tuesday at dinner, there will be a preview of some of the questions to be discussed at the Forum after dinner. It is hoped that this preview will spark interest and provide a starting point from which other questions may arise at the forum. Elaine Snead is chairman for the Student Government Week.

Much preparation and thought is going into this week, so that both the administration and the student body* with benefit.

offices ran unopposed. Maybe if the students had an incentive they would be more willing to give up some of their time and effort to be a student leader.

Think about it - what if no one ran for office? Who would introduce Dr. Willett at the press conferences? Who would make sure the honor system was upheld? Who would enforce quiet hour9 Who would program activities for the students9 Who would publish this newspaper9 Who would compile the yearbook? These are problems Iongwood may face sooner than you might think.

places for these gatherings were the many inns and taverns located all over town. Someone produced a guitar, mandolin or lute. . . a good voice began the singing. . . all kept busy eating and drinking. .. everybody grew happier as the evening went on... a lovesick student suggested serenading his girlfriend to help him recover her favors and thus the Tuna was born.

By the XVI century, the tunos were as much part of Spanish university life as were textbooks and teachers. Today's tunos wear the same garb worn by their predecessors of the XVI century, including the black cape which was part of the academic gown.

The tunos wear velvet doublets, shour and puffy breeches, black hose and buckled shoes. The black cape covers this outfit. The colored ribbons pinned to the cape are souvenirs of female admirers. The sash worn over the chest denotes the school attended by the tunos.

The Tuna usually plays string instruments. The music played and sung by the tunos is always popular; some of the songs are centuries old and have been used to serenade girls all over the country.

A tuno is always ready to serenade a girl, try to steal a kiss from her, and then go on to another, like the butterfly he's supposed to be. Yet today's tunos are very responsible young men who only change personalities when donning the costume of the tuna.

The complete Tuna de Farmacia is made up of 25 students from the School of Pharmacy of the University of Madrid. They are presently touring the United States, playing at schools and universities trying to create a closer friendship among students of Spain and the U. S. Five of the tuna were present at I-ongwood: Vicente Corralero, Raimundo Noval, Pedro Segura, Carlos Gil and Carlos-Jorge I-opez.

Academic Affairs Committee Looking Into Other Schools Evaluation Forms

By Bettic Bass The Academic Affairs Committee is conducting a study of faculty evaluation forms, in hopes of reworking the present system. Various colleges in Virginia have been contacted and to date, eight ha vereplied.

Virginia Commonwealth University. The office of VicePresident for Academic Affairs handles the circulation of faculty evaluation forms. They receive from the deans or department chairmen, lists of courses to be evaluated.

A packet of questionnaires is then sent to the appropriate school or department office. The professor gives them to a student volunteer who distributes them and after beinj; completed, seals them in ;m envelope. They are returned to the office of the Vice-President for Academic Affairs for computer processing. Their forms are divided into 3 sections: self-evaluation, course evaluation, and instructor evaluation Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Student evaluation of faculty courses is voluntary. but strongly recommended. Many faculty use the form developed by their Student Government Association.

However, each college and or department has developed an evaluation form deemed suitable for that particular situation.

Old Dominion University.

Evaluation forms are distributed school-wide. Fach school is responsible for developing a standardized procedure for the administration of the student questionnaires within the school.

Mary Washington College. At the present time, faculty evaluation is the responsibility of department chairmen. No standard evaluation form is used.

The Student Association, however, distributes their own form to students for use in the compilation of a course reference book. The completed forms are not submitted to the administration.

Rridgewater College. Each year a committee of the Student Senate conducts an evaluation of their courses and instructors They provide each professor with a form for each of their students.

They return these in an envelope

GRAY'S

and the student committee, with the assistance of the manager of thAcomputor center, analyze the responses for each course.

Radford College.

Student evaluation forms are distributed each year to each professor. The faculty is evaluated by the students, department chairmen, the school dean, and the department personnel committee.

Washington and l.ee University. Faculty evaluation forms are handled completely by the Student Curriculum Committee. The results of the evaluation are made available to students by placing a complete copy of the evaluation in the library. Copies of the summary are sent to the professor and his department chairman.

College of William and Mary.

William and Mary has no single evaluation form Each department or school is expected to "consider" student opinion in making recommendations on faculty retention, promotion, or tenure. It is up to the department of school how best to gather and evaluate such opinion.

The honors program was inaugurated in 1930 to enable capable students to study intensively a subject of their choice, thereby becoming acquainted with methods of research, organization of materials, and the presentation of results in a >cholarly manner.Such intensive study stimulates initiative, resourcefulness, and original thought. Students in all departments are eligible to participate in this program. The program is administered by the Honors Committee. Under this plan, the student is directed in creative research by an instructor who acts as her sponsor. The student enrolls in Honors Research 498 and 499, thereby gaining 6 credits toward graduation.

A junior or senior who has a minimum quality point average of 2.7, with a 3.0 in his or her major may enroll in Honors Research 498, after receiving permission from his or her sponsor, department chairman and the Honors Committee prior to the Registrar's deadline for adding courses after the semester begins.

To receive this permission students must submit a written proposal stating their thesis, the method and scope of research and a preliminary bibliography.

Students are encouraged to submit sufficient copies of their proposal early in the semester prior to their beginning honors work. These copies shall be submitted to the chairman of the Honors Committee.

After submitting the proposal students must meet jointly with their department chairman, sponsor.

Heritage Club Makes Plan For Founder's Day On April 24th

By Jean Possnack Want to join the 9 Granddaughter's Club But what if your grandmother did not attend Ixingwood? Worse yet— what guy wants to be a member of the Granddaughter's Club?

For these very reasons, the Granddaughter's Club is undergoing a change of name.

The club is not limited to granddaughters or grandsons: it is open to anyone having a relative who attended I/mgwood.

Thus, the new name is the Heritage Club.

And the Heritage Club is making plans for Founder's Day, which is April 24th. The day's activities are primarily for alumni, but students are welcome to attend. When the alumni arrive, they will go to the registration desks at the Alumni House or in front of Jarman. The members of the Heritage Club will serve as the official hosts.

After the registration and coffee, the alumni will go to

Jarman for the assembly of the day. In previous years, there has been a speaker, but this year, there will be a concert by I.ongwood's choir. After the concert everyone will gather for the parade of the alumni past the Library, the Rotunda, on to the colonnade and into the dining hall where they will be served lunch.

After lunch is a craft sale in the Gold Room. Each of the alumni chapters will bring in crafts to be sold.

According to Billy Brightwell, President of the Heritage Club, the theme of the craft sale is "not really Bicentennial, but American."

The proceeds from the sale will go to the Alumni office to be used mostly for improvements on the 1 Alumni House.

The graduating classes being honored this year are those whose graduation year ends in a one or a six. Mostly the recent alumni come, but everyone is invited.

By JEAN POSSNACK and the Honors Committee to discuss their proposal If the proposal has been accepted, the student will enroll in Honors Research 498 and an examining committee to be comprised of three members (excluding the sponsor) proposed by the sponsor and approved by the department chairman and the Honors Committee is to be assigned. The members of this committee will be available for consultation.

With the consent of his or her advisor the student may register for Honors Research 499.

The student shall follow an accepted style sheet. Four copies of the paper shall be submitted to the Honors Committee prior to the examination. Two of these copies will be retained in the library and the other two will be returned to the student An oral examination will be administered by the examining committee. A member of the Honors Committee will be present and will report the recommendations of the examining committee to the Honors Committee for final approval. The approval of at least two members of the examining committee is necessary for the granting of honors.

Students who complete Honors Research 498, 499 with a grade of A or B, who have maintained the grade point average indicated above, and who have passed an oral examination in their research topic, and who have met any other requirements which their major department may require for graduation, will be graduated with honors in their major field.

Should the student elect not to take the oral examination or should he or she fail to win the board's recommendation for graduation with honors, credit for 6 semester hours work with the grade assigned by the sponsor will be given, although without reference to honors.

Work began on her proposal this past summer when she began background reading. She took a week off from school to do further research which she hopes will not adversely affect her classes.

Ms. Adams' oral exam is set for April 22nd. "Not yet" was the soft response when asked if she was nervous.

Her examining committee will consist of Mr. Crowl from Iangwood's history department; Mr. Robert Wolfe from National Archives and the Chief of the Modern Military Branch; Dr Bernre Shepper from ODU, who is a historian of the German and Jewish people; and Dr. Flynn from the art department will be the Honors Committee Representative.

Future plans include hopes of graduate school. She feels this program to be a good preparation for graduate school and thought that it would be". . . something that would make me rely on me."

Karen Lynn Foster is a junior this year and plans to enroll in the Honors Program for the 1976-1977 academic year. Her current address is Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, and she was born in North Kingston, Rhode Island.

Karen graduated from West Springfield High School in Springfield, Virginia, and she is majoring in English.

Ms. Foster is editor of the Gyre literary magazine for the 2nd consecutive year. She is a member of Pi Delta F-psilon journalism honorary and serves on the Rotunda staff. A Dean's List student, she was at one time a member of the I-ongwood Players and has participated in several recent productions.

The title of Ms. Foster's proposal is "The Hero-Anti-Hero in Modem Southern Fiction." In her "Prospectus for Honors Research 498-499", she states: "Specifically, I intend to study the hero-anti-hero in the twentieth century novel who, because of generally internal conflicts caused by clash of tradition and convention, has lost his sense of family, of place, of direction, and has thus lost himself." Planning to back everything up with history, she has already done some reading and a little research. When asked if there were plans to do any work on it over the summer, she laughed and said, "YES!" An impressive bibliography which includes Fiction, Criticism and Literary History, and articles has already been compiled. She stated that she felt "...like I need to read the fiction at least twice."

Stating that the thought of an oral examination made her a little nervous, Ms. Foster admitted, that, "No matter what happens I will have gotten something out of it."

Rosenbloom's Readying Premiere; Playwright To Appear At Longwood

By LINDA FBANK In The Best Room at Rosenbloom's is a situation comedy and a character study.

The sense of the well drawn character gives the situation, which is superficial within itself, depth and offers the audience a "little bit more than a belly laugh".

Mr. Young is looking forward to the playwright. Ms. Bollow. coming down for the show which is a first here at longwood as well as Ixmgwood's first World Premiere of a play. I.udmilla Bollow will visit the playwriting class, possibly some of the other drama classes and will be willing to meet on an informal basis with interested students. Ms. Bollow will also be available to visit creative writing courses in the English department.

Mr. Young spent a summer working under the direction of Stanley I-ong, the chairman of the New Play Project. Working on his Ph.D. at Florida State, Mr. Young is writing his dissertation on "The Concept of the Virtuous Woman in the Restoration Play world; Marriage and the Social Status of Women in the Comedies of Etherege, Wycherley, and Congreve."

Ill simply sip on a six-pak and watch TV.

When asked about how he feels about taking the show toMemphis, Mr. Young replied, "I'm a little nervous because all my professors will be there, including Stanley Ix)ng." In the Rest Room at Rosenbloom's will be performed in Memphis on March 4 at 3 o'clock as part of the Southeastern Theater Conference.

SETC is an educational organization with common theatrical goals to pass out information and promote theater in the southeastern United States.

It achieves this goal by having a yearly conference held at a different location each year in the south and through various committees such as the New Play Project which chose Ms. Bollow's play as the winning play for the convention.

Feeling a little rusty from not having directed a show since Marigolds, Spring 1974, Mr Young, director of In the Rest Room at Rosenbloom's, is looking forward to its production here on the Jarman stage. The main difference between the two shows according to Mr. Young is that Marigolds had an experienced cast while Rosenbloom's cast is almost entirely made up of newcomers,

the exception being Donna Brooks who gave a memorable performance in Pygmalion.

A new cast doesn't mean that they can't or won't do a good acting job but simply that they will need more time to gain confidence in themselves on stage. After gaining confidence, they can gain the poise they will need to characterize their perspective roles.

As to working with a new play, Mr. Young finds that he has nothing to look back at, no criticism to goto, and no previous performance to refer to. Mr Young will have to do it alone with the cast. With a new play, the only point of reference is the playwright. Mr. Young has kept in constant contact with Ms Bollow and the show will be a combination of Ms. Bollow's insights and his insights hopefully gelled into a whole concept of the play.

There were parts of the show Mr. Young wanted to take out which Ms. Bollow wanted to leave in. When asked about what they did when this problem arose Mr Young replied, "Sometimes we compromised but mostly we left it in. So far, I'm giad we did because they added another dimension to the character."

L.C, Girl's Basketball Team Adds

Recent Serenade Dream Come True

Three Impressive Victories To Record

By DIANNE HARWOOD The I/ongwood College Girl's Basketball Team came on strong this past week with three impressive victories over William and Mary, Randolph Macon Woman's College and Roanoke College. This boosted the girls to an overall 11-4 record, with one more regular season game left.

The first of I/mgwood's three road games resulted on a 68-57 victory over William and Mary.

Although LC hit a low 34 per cent from the floor, they were able to capitalize on several W & M turnovers. Sue Rama led the cagers offensively with 28 points and eighteen rebounds. W & M couldn't stop the penetration of Rama and Linda Baumler, who were continually able to drive in on the shorter W & M squad.

Peggy Mitchell also had a good day offensively, hitting five of nine shots for eleven points.

The I/)ngwood JV's were also successful against William and Mary's JV's and handed them a 68-17 defeat. The W & M defense was just not strong enough to contain the hot hands of Carol lewis, Roxann Fox, and Fllie Kennedy, who each hit for twelve points.

February 12 saw the LC squad travel to Lynchburg to take on Randolph Macon Woman's College. Although it was a good game offensively for I-ongwood. the defense was the key as the LC team was up against the leagueleading scorer, Sylvia Bailey.

This didn't phase the I<ongwood girls as they held her to only 15 points while amassing 80 themselves, giving I/ingwood a 80-53 victory. I-ongwood's high scorers were Sue Rama with 19 points and Mary I-ouise McCraw with 14 points.

The I xmgwood JV's had its best offensive output of the year with a 93-29 victory over RMWC JV's.

LC put five players in double

figures, with freshmen Terry Johnson and Melissa Wiggins heading the scores with 17 and 16 point respectively.

Ix)ngwood finished up their road season February 14 with a Valentine's Day victory over Roanoke College 85-67. Teamwork was the key in this l£ victory as the defense had to pull together to stop Susan Highfill.

Roanoke's offensive punch.

IiOngwood found a new offensive punch in the form of Toni Harris, who gave her best performance for I/>ngwood this year. Miss Harris hit twenty points from the floor, pulls having eight rebounds and seven assists. Linda Baumler also had a outstanding game, grabbing 16 rebounds and hitting for ten points.

The .JV's finished out this week's activities with a 61-39 victory over Ferrum. It was the second time this year that the Ix)ngwood JV's bested Ferrum, both times by a wide margin.

Freshman Debbie Brown lead the .TV squad with 19 points and 11 rebounds. The JV's now sport a 74 record.

The last regular season game for LC will be Tuesday, February 17 against Radford. The week end of February 20-21 I-ongwood will host a round robin tournament, featuring several North Carolina teams.
