The full-scale exercise made up the sec ond part of this practice, Cook said. “In these, they went through the process of how they would handle bodies, continue the investigation of medical symptoms, ad minister medication and manage all the in formation they are receiving,” he said. Gutierrez said volunteers acted the part of those affected by the bacterial agent. The emergency personnel then directed them to the appropriate places, be it hospitals or a table where someone gave them the ap propriate medical treatment, Gutierrez said. “These exercises tested our ability to handle, say 2,000, people through an infor mation table and see how many we could handle per hour,” Gutierrez said. Sophomore biomedical engineering ma jor Courtney Scott, a Harris County resident, said this practice exercise is a smart idea so the county can be ready in case a WMD event happens. “It shows the weaknesses in our system and how to improve it even though; might not prevent (an attack),” Scott sai; Cook said that following the exert NERRTC works with the participantsto ate a detailed after action report. “This includes a detailed overviewo[ scenario, lessons learned, things that, well and action steps (to be taken) boil mediately and in the future,” Cook said Gutierrez said the training was made; sible by a federal grant through thestat Texas. “We knew there was money out the; do training,” Gutierrez said. “Whenw; the opportunity, we welcomed the chant Honor system Continued from page 1A Bea t The Hell Outta Wyoming!

If it is determined that there is enough evidence for a hearing, then a panel of students is randomly selected from the Honor Council to serve as jurors for the hearing. If a student is convicted of cheating, he will receive an F* for the course, where the asterisk denotes the failure was due to academic dishonesty. “If a student receives an F*, it goes on his per manent transcript,” said Nicole Bradford, director of the Honor System Office. “Students have the opportunity to have the asterisk removed if they participate in a five-week rehabilitation course dealing with academic dishonesty and cheating.” Upon completion of the course, the asterisk is removed from the transcript, yet the failing grade remains. If a student is convicted twice of aca demic dishonesty, he is expelled. Each Honor Council member undergoes a strin gent screening and selection process as well as ex tensive training. “This is a very prestigious position in the Uni versity and one that we take very seriously,” Brad ford said. Analisa Gisin, a junior political science major, was one of the few students selected to serve on the Honor Council this year. “We applied in April, and we were selected by the Academic Affairs Committee of the Student Senate and Dr. Bradford’s Office,” Gisin said. “We then attended a training day on a Saturday where we learned how to investigate a complaint, and learned about the many aspects of academic integrity and what we would be doing.” Gisin and her fellow council members listened to several speakers talk about numerous programs across the nation at other universities. Following the speaker, the council members had the oppor tunity to run through the entire process with a real case that occurred at another university. For more information visit www.thebatt.com.
