ON'T HALT EXAM CHEATING':
State Official Urges GOP ACROSS CAMPUS:
Students Oppose Honor Code To Enter Poverty Fight
To Present 'Flahooley' Today
A recent survey here has found
that literary college students op-
pose the' use of honor systems for
examinations.
Most students responding were
against the'principle of a system
where the proctor is eliminated,
The Michigan Journalist reports
in a 'ecent issue.
The Jolrnalism department
newspaper also examines the en-
gineering, college's success with
the honor system.
No Barrier
A Junior in, the ,literary college
gave his objections this way. "We
are not impressed with that type
of honor any.more. In our culture
and society that is passe."
"If a person is going to cheat,
an honor code will not provide any
barrier," a literary college sopho-
more added. "I'm sure even people
in the engineering college cheat,
despite their pledge. It's just as
easy to sign your name to the
code as it is to take an answer
from someone."
Engineering College
However,, engineering college
students feel that the code pres-
ently in effect is a definite and
strong deterrent to cheating. They
say that a student who has signed
a pledge swearing to his honesty
will be more likely to keep his
word because of "a feeling of be-
ing trusted and of keeping that
trust."
Other engineering students at-
tested to this feeling of trust, and
the honesty that it inspires. One,
a sgphomore, added, "I took a
course in the literary college, and
didn't like it because it was like
high school."
Moreover, "tradition produced
and maintains the honor code in
the engineering college," a junior
explained. "The potential engineer
is more serious about his educa-
tion. He needs the background of
one course to go on to the next
one--a fact that isn't necessarily
so in the literary college. This in
itself hinders cheating" in en-
gineering.
Causes of Cheating
However, students from both the
literary' and the engineering col-
lege agreed that the prime factors
causing cheating are poor prepara-
tion and anxiety. One literary col-
lege student remarked that "un-
certainty and fear can push. a
student over the brink' into cheat-
ing."
Nevertheless, literary college
students also agreed with faculty
in saying that fear of getting low
grades is also an important cause.
"Academic pressure is the prime
motivation behind cheating," As-
sistant Dean Arlien R. Hellwarth,
of the engineering college remark-
ed.
Associate Dean James H. Rob-
ertson of the literary college en-
larged on this when he said that
"pressure for grades plus poor
management of study time get
students into a spot where they
think they 'have' to resort 'to dis'-
honesty."
Punishments
Students themselves felt that
the importance of the, grade s
overemphasized Yet students were
stricter in giving punishments to
those who cheated, and recom-
mended that first offenders be
given a warning or a failing grade.
The majority felt that after the
second violation, the student
should be dropped from that
course.
First penalties for engineering
students caught cheating are rel-
atively light, Hellwarth said. The
student is usually let off with a
warning. "The most serious pen-
alty would probably be a zero on
the exam, or perhaps a drop in
the course grade by one notch,"
he explained. If a student is
caught. cheating a second time, a
very rare -occurrence, he is ..'ex-
pelled from the University.
"There are very few deliberate,
operational cheaters - those who
consciously try to play angles or
to steal exams," Robertson said.
"I must admit' that the o&er-
whelming majorityof collegemen'
and women are, honest to them-
selves and to their fellow stu-
dents."
This situation contrasts strik-
ingly with the results of a recent'
survey of 99 colleges taken by
Columbia University in 'which
about half the students questioned
admitted having cheated.

By DICK WINGFIELD
The head of the state anti-pov-
erty program feels that it is un-
fortunate that allprojects of so-
cial and human concern are the'
special province of the Democratic
party.
Malcolm R. Lovell, director of
the Michigan Economic Oppor-
tunity Office, said recently that
"as far as I'm concerned, this is
my war and the Republican's warj
on poverty.".
Speaking to the Young Republi-
can Club, he pointed out that the
"War on Poverty," which was
"enthusiastically" pushed through
a Democratic Congress by a Dem-
acratic President, has factors
which correlate with the. Repub-
lican philosophy.
Three Factors
These factors are:
It is a moral question that will be
decided in the years to come," he
said.
During his address to the stu-
dent organization, Lovell revealed
that the Willow Village contro-
versial anti-poverty program is be-
ing rewritten and reconsidered b3
Washington. He said that the'
project is imperfect at present
though it is valid.
The University is jointly admin-
istering with Wayne State Univer-
sity a $188,252 federalgrant in
the area. The project and funds
are under re-evaluation in Wash-
ington.
