Dishonesty
(continued from page 1)
“The University policy is fairly le
nient," Lutes said. “When a profes
sor reports a case of scholastic dis
honesty to the department head, the
department head can Only reduce
the punishment that was recom
mended bv the professor. Depart
ment heads don’t have the authority
to increase the penalty."
Stan Lowy, assistant dean of the
College of Engineering, doesn’t
think concern for the student stops
professors from reporting cases of
scholastic dishonesty.
"Professors are only hesitant to re
port cheating if they are unsure that
cheating has actually been commit
ted," Lowy said. “The only problem
I see with the University's cheating
policy is that it lacks consistency."
The procedure followed in cheat
ing cases tends to vary from college
to college.
When there is a cheating case in
the College of Engineering, the in
structor will first speak to the stu
dent, and depending on the out
come, the dean’s office may or may
not ever hear the case, Lowy said.
“If the student admits to cheating
the case can stop right there and the
jrofessor will assess a punishment,”
te said. “If the student feels the
punishment is too severe he can
come to our office with a complaint.
"If, after he’s spoken to us, the
student feels wronged we will turn
the case over to the Department of
Student Affairs.”
The College of Business handles
the initial steps of resolving a schol
astic dishonesty case in a similar
fashion, but later follows a different
procedure.
“The problem is first dealt with
between the student and professor,”
said Dr. Samuel Gillespie, assistant
dean of the College of Business. “If
thev work it out, we (the dean’s of
fice) may never find out about the
case and the department head may -
not be involved."
Some professors contact the
dean’s office because they aren’t
sure how to handle cheating cases,
Gillespie said.
“If the professor hasn’t outlined a
cheating policy on the syllabus, it’s
the policy in our college to assign the
student an F in the course and place
them on conduct probation,” Gilles
pie said.
“When a student is placed on con
duct probation, the college sends a
letter to the student explaining the
punishment,” he said, “and a copy is
forwarded to Bill Kibler (in the stu
dent affairs department).
"If a student cheats in another col
lege. the only way anyone would
know that student is a repeat of
fender is through the records at stu
dent affairs."
Gillespie said that when students
who have been placed on conduct
probation for cheating graduate
they can petition the College of Busi
ness and the student affairs office to
remove the probation letter from
their files.
Students enrolled in the graduate
program at Texas A&M are gov
erned by the same regulations as un
dergraduate students, as are stu
dents at the Texas A&M College of
Medicine.
Students enrolled in the College
of Veterinary Medicine are required
to follow stricter guidelines.
“The vet school is under Texas
A&M University regulations, but we
also have a professional student
handbook that spells out stricter reg
ulations and penalties,” said Dr. E.D.
Gage, associate dean of academic
programs for the College of Veteri
nary Medicine.
You’ll probably find that most
professional schools will have stricter
policies (than universities), he said.
Cheating is not a big problem at the
veterinary college, Gage said. “We
seldom have more than one or two
cases a year.”
Lutes said that some students feel
that teachers are to blame for a large
amount of cheating that goes on.
Last year, Lutes conducted a
cheating survey in a junior level
class. A majority of the 49 students
she surveyed said that when a tea
cher left the room or didn’t monitor
students during tests they were just
encouraging cheating.
“Sixty percent of the students ad
mitted they’ve cheated in college,”
Lutes said, “but virtually none of
them had been caught.”
More than 70 percent of the stu
dents who admitted they’ve cheated
said that when they cheat it is spon
taneous. Most attriouted their cheat
ing to the fact that classrooms are
crowded, making it easy to let your
eves wander.
The students who said they had
premeditated cheating listed several
methods they used, including writ
ing on their body, keeping a note
book open at their feet, carrying
cheat notes and writing notes on a
calculator.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — According to sworn statements, Caroline
Kennedy never entered the room where her cousin, David, was staying be
fore he was found dead of a drug overdose.
The daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy said there was a
policeman standing in front of the posh Brazilian Court Hotel when she
and a friend drove up April 25, 1984, the day Kennedy’s body was found.
“We went up to him and he said, ‘That’s all right girls, he is dead,”’ the
statement said.
She said she asked the hotel manager if she could use the phone to call
her family.
“What did you do when the police told you he was dead?” asked Palm
Beach County State Attorney David Bludworth.
“You just said, ‘We want to use the telephone’?”
“I mean, I said, I think we said ‘Oh my God’ or hugged each other or
something,” she replied.
David Kennedy, the 28-year-old son of the late Sen. Robert Kennedy,
had a history of drug abuse. Authorities said he died from an overdose of
cocaine and two prescription drugs. Two hotel bellhops are awaiting trial
on charges of supplying cocaine to Kennedy.
Bludworth was ordered to release the 39-page report by Circuit Judge
John Born. He took the testimony from Caroline Kennedy in May during
an interview with her in Washington, D.C.
There were rumors that she and a friend took evidence from the room
before her cousin’s body was found.
She denied the reports.
