Researchers' Deny Charge Of Faking' Increased Student Participation on 'U' Departmental Level By LUCI KENNEDY 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. There are always some isolated cases, NEWS WIRE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA coed Pamela Brewer, found guilty by a faculty board of misconduct for posing in the nude, insisted yesterday she did nothing wrong. The penalty against the 18-year-old dramatics student from Springfield; Va., is to be announced Tuesday by the Faculty Disciplinary Committee. It could be almost anything from a lecture to expulsion. During a lengthy hearing Friday night, the committee ruled Miss Brewer's action amounted to "indiscreet and inappropriate conduct." Her nude photograph had appeared in an off-campus humor magazine. Her attorney, Selig Goldin, said he would wait until advised of the penalty before deciding whether to appeal to the Board of Regents. * * * WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY has not yet taken disciplinary action against six students arrested in Detroit Jan. 24 for violation of the state narcotics law. The students, who have not been suspended by Wayne, face a pre-trial examination March 1-3. A non-academic committee 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- dents.

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. BATTLE AGAINST DISEASE: ' On Researchers Attack Cancer Varied Lab, Clinical Fronts Advisory Comnittees Flourishing Contend Cheating Easily Discovered Prior to Publishing By CAROLYN MIEGEL 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.
