Researchers at the University
plead innocent to a California bio-
chemist's charge that there is
widespread faking of data on
scientific reports at colleges across
the country.
Prof. Paul Saltman, a Univer-
sity of Southern California bio-
chemist says in the current issue
of Harper's magazine that the
drive of young scientists "to per-
form in the center ring of the
circus" leads to faking of themes
and research papers.
University scientists here coun-
ter that the charges are baseless.
They contend the would-be faker
can be discovered easily.
"If a person wants to take up a
life of crime, he'd be better off
robbing a bank-it's safer," says
Prof. H. M. Crane, chairman of
the physics department.
"The chances of exposure in
science are greater than in any
other form of skullduggery. If
any important conclusion is reach-
ed, it will be checked by somebody
else."
Prof. John M. Allen, chairman
of the zoology department called
Saltman's charges "ridiculous. It's
contrary to the process of science
for a person to do this and think
he couldn't be found out."
Spokesmen at the University
agree with Saltman, however, that
scientists are under increasing
pressure to "perform in the cen-
ter ring," but emphasize that
ethics of, scientists here generally;
remain high.
Prof. Arthur G. Johnson of the
microbiology department s a y s,
"Perhaps there is more pressure
on the East coast where the state
legislatures provide very little sup-
port for science students and they
must compete for what is avail-
able. My experience with students
at New York University, Colum-
bia, Harvard, as well as many
other colleges, indicates that
scientific honesty at these institu-
tions is top-notch."
Robert E. Burroughs of the Of-
fice of Research Administration
says he knows of no faking prob-
lem. "Nothing of this has gotten
back to our office. Although we
are not in a position to judge the
substantive content of studies, re-
search sponsors are and no cases
of faking have been reported.

The penalty against the 18-year-old dramatics student from

During a lengthy hearing Friday night, the committee ruled

formed to consider possible discipline is concentrating on a fact-
finding investigation of the arrests. The university has not yet
started a planned LSD-narcotics information program for stu-

ANYOTNE FOR A BEER?
Twelve University students have been staging a marathon drink-in at the Fraser's Pub since Jan. 4. One of the students must drink
a 12 oz. beer every half hour that the tavern is open. They will hit 600 hours today, and plan to keep going to 1,000 hours to ward off
competition from a University of Wisconsin group. The beer has cost them $800 so far.

With encouragement from the
Literary College steering commit-
tee a growing number of students
are forming academic advisory
committees at the departmental
level.
The anthropology and psycho-
logy departments 'now have stu-
dent advisory committee function-
ing. And the sociology department
is considering formation of a sim-
ilar group.
"Eventually the literary school
steering committee would like to
see an academic advisory commit-
tee in every department of the
college," says Robert Golden, '67,
a member of the steering commit-
tee.
"But it is up to the faculty of
each department as to whether
they are allowed to set up the
committee and to define the role
the committees will play."
Dean William Haber of the liter-
ary college stressed that the in-
volvement of students at the de-
partmental level is very useful, but
it is also limited.
"There are many areas in which
students can be helpful, such as
advisors to the curriculum com-
mittee, the admissions committee
and .the administrative board,"
Haber said. "Btu one must re-
member that many students are
very busy and the amount of time
and energy they can devote is
fraction'al."
"The students must select the
topics of discussion carefully; the
areas should be those in which
student's intuition will be help-
ful," he added.
Most active of the new advisory
committees is the undergraduate
psychology advisory committee
(UPAC). Organized by a group of
several hundreds students inte-
rested in psychology, UPAC has
expanded its functions to include
non-majors.
Their programs include:
-A student-run seminar pro-
gram in which informal meetings
between faculty and students are
arranged to discuss topics of the
students' choosing.
-A counseling program run by
seniors in psychology for the bene-
fit of all students taking psychol-
ogy.
-A student-run library con-
taining graduate school catalogs
and applications.
Mitchel Rose, '67, a member of
UPAC, says he "is plaesed with the
rapport that exists between the
students and the faculty of the
psychology department."
The honors steering committee
deals almost exclusively with hon-
ors courses and some of its mem-
bers sit in on executive and honors
council meetings.
Si Benninga, '69, cites problems
with the liimted advisory role of
the honors committee: 'Anyone
on this campus who attempts to
involve a large number of students
in academic affairs is headed no-
where. j.t's fruitless. By and large
