Pencil-sharpening caper
pokes fun at bureaucracy
United Press International
NASHWIXE, Tenn. —
i A I! State worker Allen Coggins
p pb bund out just how much
tureaucracy his fellow work-
:rs will take.
Seventeen workers dutiful-
y filled out an official-looking
orm before using the office
pencil sharpener during a
“I’ve been in the bureauc
racy for a number of years,
and it’s funny some of the
things people take seriously,”
Coggins said Monday.
Coggins, 36, a state park
planner for the Conservation
Department, said the typed
form was run through a
copying machine to make it
more official looking.
Headed, “PLEASE COM
PLETE THIS FORM BE
FORE SHARPENING
YOUR PENCIL(S),” the form
instructed each person who
sharpened a pencil to fill in his
or her name, department,
number of pencils to be shar
pened, lead number of the
pencils, and the date and time
the pencils were sharpened.
Coggins said none of his su
periors had complained.
Government investigates
computer travel schedules
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Jus
tice Department confirmed
Tuesday it has begun a pre
liminary investigation into com
puterized scheduling systems
used by the airline industry.
Justice spokesman Mark
Sheehan said the antitrust divi
sion had opened an industry
wide investigation to determine
if airlines with computerized
scheduling systems have used
them to harm competitors. Such
computerized systems are used
by travel agents, who sell a ma
jority of the airline tickets in the
United States.
The Civil Aeronautics Board
and a federal grand jury in Fort
Worth are investigating allega
tions that American Airlines
Inc. used its computer system to
sabotage the reservations of
bankrupt Braniff International
Corp.
Sam Coats, Braniff vice presi
dent of marketing, told UPI two
days after the airline filed for
bankruptcy to reorganize that
American had used its computer
to sabotage Braniff reservations
and help drive the company to

Coats claimed American can
celed Braniff reservations on
the SABRE computer system
owned by American and used by
several airlines and travel agents
to confirm bookings.
American officials issued a
vehement denial to Coats’ ac
cusations, saying the computer
could not have been sabotaged
without being easily detected.
Sheehan said the present Jus
tice Department civil investiga
tion did not grow out of the Fort

Plagiarism
case to be
reopened
United Press International
TRENTON, NJ. — A top
Princeton University senior who
challenged a ruling that she pla
giarized a Spanish term paper
has been given another chance
to prove she should graduate !
with her class.
Mercer County Superior
Court Judge William Dreier
Monday ordered the faculty-
student committee that found
that Gabrielle Napolitano, 21,
plagiarized the paper to review
the case Thursday.
Dreier, who said he was 1
shocked at the university’s deci
sion to withhold the English ma
jor’s diploma and pass word of
its ruling to law schools that
accepted her, ordered both sides
to return to court next week un
less they agreed with the com
mittee’s decision.
Napolitano filed suit against
the Ivy League school in a rare
challenge to academic proce
dures at a private university.
The controversial case was
unexpected for a senior with a
3.7 average out of a possible 4.0
who was told she was up for a
Rhodes scholarship.
“She’s out of the Princeton
family now,” her brother,
Christopher, said. “She has
ostracized herself from the com
munity with this.”
Recruited as an athlete-
scholar from her Stamford,
Conn., high school, her record
at the prestigious university was
unblemished.
Princeton’s lawyer, William
Brennan III, agreed Napolita-
no’s was “a pristine, blameless
record.” Her defense lawyer,
Alan Wallack, said “Gabrielle is
really too good to be true.”
Sidelined from basketball by
an injury, she helped manage
the women’s basketball and
men’s baseball teams and took
part in a work-study program.
Students at the hearing also
backed the woman.
“Gabby’s one person I know
who always did all the work. If
they’re going to get technical ab
out it, 80 percent of the universi
ty could be railroaded out of
there,” Princeton senior Jennif
er Bryan, 21, said. “The press
ure is such that everyone has to
cut a corner.”
Princeton argued the decision
upheld academic standards over
which the court had no jurisdic
tion.
Both sides said Napolitano
copied or paraphrased parts of a
critical work for the 12-page
paper in question, an analysis of
Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “One
Hundred Years Of Solitude.”

Earthquake
shakes up
California
United Press International
HUNTINGTON BEACH,
Calif. — A moderate earthquake
shook a large area of Southern
California early Tuesday, start
ling sleepy residents from Bur
bank to San J uan Capistrano but
causing no damage or injuries.
Cal Tech spokesman Dennis
Meredith said the quake,
measuring 4.1 on the Richter
scale, struck at 6:45 a.m. PDT
and was centered in the Pacific
Ocean, about 13 miles southwest
of Huntington Beach.
A spokeswoman for the
Huntington Beach Police De
partment said dispatchers got
several calls from worried resi
dents, but no reports of damage.
“People feel it and they call us
and make sure we know about
it,” she said.
The Los Angeles Fire De
partment went to emergency
status following the quake and
routinely moved its equipment
from fire houses.
