Paper cites
discrepancies
in pastor’s case
DALLAS (AP) — Former minister
Walker Railey cited the wrong time
on a message he left on his home an
swering machine 40 minutes before
he reported finding his wife
unconscious in their garage, the Dal
las Morning News said Sunday.
Railey said on the tape left for his
wife that it was “10:30 to 10:45” p.m.
when he called, but phone records
show the actual time was shortly af
ter midnight, the newspaper said.
Margaret “Peggy” Railey, 39, who
was choked on the night of April 21,
remains comatose in a Tyler nursing
home with little chance of recovery,
her doctors say.
Railey, who has not been charged
with any crime, cited his Fifth
Amendment right against self-in
crimination 43 times when called be
fore a grand jury in July.
Norman Kinne, Dallas County’s
chief prosecutor, said two taped tele
phone messages left by Railey on the
night his wife was attacked include
“some of the discrepancies I wanted
to ask him about before the grand
jury.” The tape was seized by police
within two days of the assault.
Investigators have said they have
evidence contradicting Railey’s ac
count of his whereabouts on the
night his wife was choked.
At 12:03 a.m., about 40 minutes
before he arrived home, Railey
placed a 2'/2-minute call from his
mobile phone to his home, mobile
phone records indicate.
“If you want to, go ahead and lock
the garage door and I’ll park out
front,” Railey said. “It really doesn’t
matter to me. At this point, my con
cern is that you’re safe.”
Railey apparently was talking
about six threatening letters he had
received since March. After the as
sault on Railey, the FBI determined
that all the letters were written on
the same typewriter at First United
Methodist Church of Dallas, where
Railey was pastor. Agents have not
identiFied the author of the notes.
At 12:29 a.m, Railey placed a 1 V2-
minute call from his mobile phone to
the family’s publicly listed line,
which again was answered and re
corded by a machine.

Aggies don’t always follow
code of honor, students say
Student Senate aims to combat cheating
By Drew Leder
Staff Writer
The Aggie code of honor says Ag
gies don’t lie, cheat or steal, but
when faced with a choice between
upholding a code or making the
grade, some students say the code
goes out the window.
“I have cheated,” says a junior po
litical science major who asked that
his name not be used. “I’ve switched
tests with people. I’ve copied tests
and I’ve copied computer programs.
Sometimes the tests are so hard you
feel it’s OK. It’s unfair, but I feel it’s
necessary.”
Statements like this came up fre
quently when students were asked if
Aggies really lived by their code.
While the majority of students who
were asked if they cheat said they
didn’t, there were plenty who ad
mitted they sometimes overlooked
the Aggie code when temptation got
the best of them.
In an attempt to combat scholastic
dishonesty at Texas A&M, the Stu
dent Senate has labeled this week
“Cheating Awareness Week” and
will try to make more students aware
that cheating does rear its ugly head
at A&M.
Laurie Luikens, who is heading
the Senate campaign against cheat
ing, says the plan is to advertise the
problem and to make students com
fortable with the idea of reporting
cheaters.
“It goes on, and a lot of people
don’t feel comfortable with it,” Lui
kens says. “But they don’t want to re
port it or even tell the people they
don’t like them cheating.”
“It (cheating) goes on, and
a lot of people don’t feel
comfortable with it.
— Laurie Luikens, head
of the Student Senate
campaign on cheating
George Stott, chairman of the
University Disciplinary Appeals
Panel, agreed with Luikens; it does
go on, but the extent of cheating at
A&M is impossible to measure. Only
one person accused of cheating ap
pealed before the panel this semes
ter, Stott says, but most students
caught cheating don’t appeal. And,
of course, not everyone who cheats
gets caught.
“I’m sure it’s a problem,” Stott
says. “How big it is I don’t know.”
Murray Milford, former chair
man of the appeals board and an an
imal science professor, estimated 6
percent of A&M students could be
considered scholastically dishonest.
He puts A&M’s cheaters into two
categories, the 5 percent who cheat
occasionally and the 1 percent who
rely on dishonesty to get through
school.
Those students who fall into the
“cheat occasionally” category usually
are driven to cheat when they feel
overwhelmed by their school load,
Milford says.
“Students usually cheat wk I
they’re in some type of corner, wk
they’re in a squeeze to get thiti
done,” he says. Milford says otk
students will cheat because tti
think they’re putting somethingow
on someone or just want to takeii
easy road. In popular and mediae*
ture, cheating often is portrayed
acceptable,he says.
“It’s easy for students to |
caught in the pattern of doing wte
ever they can get away with," M
ford says. “If they watch TV an
read the newspapers it’s easy f
them to think tnat that’s the way
g°-” , I
Students who have chealf
agreed with Milford, but also adds
some reasons of their own as tow
they succumbed to scholastic dishof
esty. A common response was tit
some professors make classes HP
harder than they need to be. This 1
how one senior animal science ma/
justifies cheating in a history class.
“The class was useless and d 1 '
professor was unreal,” says thesB
dent, who asked to remain anon) |
mous. “I don’t see any point in faJ
ing something that’s that hard an (
that you don’t need. It’s probaW'
not fair to the other students, ha
I’m mainly out for myself.”
James Wallace, an accountingtoj
turer, says this type of attitude hurt
everyone. “Cheating hurts not on!
the University, it hurts the peopl'
that are competing with the cheats
and equally, if not more, it hurts d) 1
cheater because he is going out®
the world ill-equipped,” Walla ((
says.
