Texas expelis exam thieves
Officials at the University of Texas
charged more than 35 students with
participating in a scam of stealing and
selling tests and forging identification
cards.
The Austin Police caught two mem-
bers of Acacia fraternity allegedly
breaking into a professor's office and
searching through his file cabinets for
exams. Police officials said that one of
the students was a locksmith and
made copies of keys to many
professors' offices on campus.
THE TWO fraternity members were
expelled from the university and indic-
COLLEGES
ted by a grand jury in March on
charges of burlgary and second degree
felony. Three other students were
suspended for one year.
The university also filed charges
against 23 additional students, but The
Daily Texan said at least five more
students involved in the scam dropped
out of school to avoid having their
records tainted.
The Texan reported that students
paid up to $300 for a stolen exam and $15
for forged identification cards.
The Associate Dean of Students,
David McClintock said there is eviden-
ce that the scam has been going on sin-
ce September 1981.

Radcliffe accepts
women's club
Radcliffe college, Harvard's sister
school, last week approved a plan to
organize the first women's social club.
Although all-male social clubs, such as
the Hasty Pudding Club, have been a
campus tradition at Harvard, an ex-
clusively female club has never been
approved by the university.
Similar to Michigamua, the univer-
sity's all-male social club, the Harvard
organizations have selective member-
ship, allowing only a chosen few to join.
The new women's club was approved on
the condition that membership be non-
exclusive. Adara, the women's club
here at the University, has exclusive
membership.
Women organizers said membership
would be open to anyone willing to pay
$150 dues and will operate as social cen-
ter for students, faculty and alumni.

Princeton denies greeks
The trustees at Princeton University
voted last week to reaffirm a century-
old policy to deny official sanction to
campus fraternities and sororities.
A trustee spokesman said that the
board denied the request because
fraternities and sororities would divide
students on campus.
Although there are several frater-
nities and sororities at Princeton, the
board will not take action against them.
A campus vote passed over-
whelmingly which backed the trustees
decision.
Princeton also has 14 social
organizations similar to fraternities en-
titled, "eating clubs." Most of these
groups have non-selective membership
and none provide housing for students.

OSU approves
'sexist class'
A women's studies course which an
Ohio State University curriculum
committee previously labelled "anti-
male," was added to the list of
graduation requirements.
ThetWomen's Studies Department
tried to list the class last fall, hut the
committee denied the request saying
the course was sexist.
Although the department officials
contended the course was not sex-
biased they revised the syllabus to gain
the university's approval and increase
enrollment in women's studies classes.

Stanford accepts
scholarship
Stanford University last week ac-
cepted a $2,000 scholarship from the
Gay and Lesbian Alliance for a medical
student who shows a commitment to
serve the homosexual community.
Stanford officials last month turned
down a $500 scholarship offer from a
Florida psychiatrist which would have
been limited to a male medical student
who publicly admitted he was a
homosexual.
The officials said the $500 scholarship
would have forced the university to
violate a student's privacy to determine
whether or not he was a homosexual.
The $2,000 scholarship, however, is
not restricted to homosexuals. The Gay
and Lesbian Alliance said that the
money would be offered to any medical
student who was willing to help the
homosexual community.

Hopkins adopts
new standards
The John Hopkins University Medical
School adopted a new admissions
program to relieve the "pre-med syn-
drome," which would encourage
students to take more diverse classes.
Officials at the medical school said
that many pre-med students fall into a
"syndrome," and shy away from
liberal arts courses because they fear
receiving a low grade.
The revised standards would require
students to be well-balanced with a
background in science, humanities and
extra-curricular activities.
