Univited guests ruin OSU party

A "block party" held at Drake Union
on the Ohio State University campus
were invaded by about 6,000 people, and
only 3000 were OSU students. About
3000 others were students from dif-
ferent colleges, according to Robbin
Kirkland, assistant director of the
union.

"We had more problems ... then the
last two Michigan parties," said OSU
Police Supervisor David Hollenbeck.
One student was stabbed, another was
arrested for possession of a gun, and
two fights occurred.
Freshman Jon Moyer was stabbed
as he was passing through the party on
his way home. He was hospitalized for
three days and released.
The problem arose when a local radio
station announced the block party even
though no advertisement had been
requested.
The party cost about $925, and about
half of that went to pay for security,
said Kirkland.
Not more than seven kegs of beer
were sold at the party, and alcoholic
beverages were not allowed to be
brought in.

Dartmouth reporter
accused of misconduct
A student reporter at the Dartmouth
Review may face disciplinary action by
the college for allegedly attending and
tape recording a Gay Students
Association meeting without iden-
tifying herself.
The gays' association filed a com-
plaint against Dartmouth freshwoman
Teresa Polenz charging that she used a
concealed recorder to tape their
meetings while doing a story for the
student-run, weekly paper.
College administrators would not
comment on the complaint, but the
newspaper's president said he has been

ordered to appear before college's
disciplinary board hearing.

WCCC investigates
faculty credentials
The president of Wayne County
Community College has warned about
180 faculty and administrators they
could be fired if they fail to verify their
academic credentials by June 15.
The warning from WCCC President
Thomas Waters was included in
paychecks sent last week in a crack-
down on use of "diploma-mill" creden-
tials.
The letters were sent to personnel
whose credentials were questioned in a
state audit conducted last month.
A state investigation found about 15
percent of the full-time WCCC instruc-
tors whose personnel files were studied
were being overpaid, received their
degrees from "diploma mills" or were
teaching in areas in which they had no
academic preparation.

Penguins plague Harvard
campus
Eyebrows were raised and laughs
muffled as 88 plastic penguins boarded
a Harvard shuttle bus last month.
The two-foot-high birds were the win-
ners of the Harvard-Radcliffe Architec-
ture and Design Group's Environmen-
tal Art Contest. The plastic birds were
transported by the shuttle bus to spend
the day on the lawn of Harvard's Sever
Quad.
The Art and Design Group was
looking for "something to animate the
space," said co-president David Kau.
"Yin-yang/Penguin-Iceberg" was
selected because "the whole notion of
introducing this totally foreign and
totally ridiculous environment would
make students think about why this is
ridiculous," Kau said.
By late afternoon about half of the
birds had been relieved from their vigil
on the lawn or at least moved from their
original position.

Many students emphasize medicine,
Thoms said, "because a lot of their
countries don't have the medical
training that we do.
Barbour scholar Che Wei Zoe Tan,
from Taiwan, said the scholarship
freed her from having to work as a
teaching assistant while at the Univer-
sity. She said she appreciated the
scholarship and wanted to know more
about its origin. "I think Barbour
scholars should be oriented a bit more
towards who Barbour is," she said. "I
would like to know this and also why he
began the scholarship."
Asked about returning to her home
country after graduating from the
University, she said, "It will not be
easy with the job market in Taiwan not
open to my field of communications."
She said she would like to teach com-
munications courses at a Taiwan
university and "begin building up a
program there."

The Art and Design Group tried to
organize a "penguin watch" to keep
other birds from being stolen.
However, Kau found the idea of
penguins spreading throughout the
campus "sort of amusing."

Iranian books stolen
from Washington library
Nearly 50 Iranian books have been
stolen from a University of Washington
library, and officials think it may be a
case of censorship between supporters
of the late Shah and the Ayatollah
Khomeini.
Thomas Deardorff, circulation head
of the university's Suzzallo Library,
said Tuesday the books, written in Per-
sian and valued at about $1,500, have
been stolen since Jan. 5, 1983.
"Most are literature books, which
could have some controversial views,
so it's probably politically motivated,"
Deardorff said. "Other large univer-
sities have had similar problems.
"Basically, it's turned out to be bet-
ween the Shah and Khomeini people,"
he said. "We have moved all the Per-
sian books we could find to the sub-
basement for security reasons."
The books may have been checked
out to someone who stole student iden-
tification cards, he said.

Cincinnati aerospace
engineers fly paper
Students of aerospace engineering at
the University of Cincinnati play for
real when they make paper airplanes.
The business of combining work and
play has led to an almost annual
student competition where would-be
.engineers gather in the university
fieldhouseb tomatch the flying abilities
of their best designs for paper air-
planes.
"It's mostly for fun," said Steve Lab-
be, a senior from Akron, Ohio. "Last
year, one of our professors made it an
exercise and made us analyze the paper
airplane we designed."
This year, students invited the
general public to take part in the com-
peition "to let them know there's more
going on up here than crunching num-
bers," Labbe said.
The student chapter of the American
Institute of Aeronautics and
Astronautics spensors the paper air-
plane contest. Labbe is the local chap-
ter president, so he inherited the job of
organizing the contest.
The contest offers $10 prizes to the
plane builder whose paper craft either

flies the longest distance or shows
maximum endurance.

Plagiarism charge brings
Rutgers prof's resignation
An economics professor at Rutgers
University resigned after he was
charged with plagiarism by the editors
of Harvard's Quarterly Journal of
Economics.
Professor Conway Lackman submit-
ted an article to the journal in 1981
which was later discovered to be the
same as one presented by Larry
Chenault in 1979. Chenault did the
research for the paper as a graduate
student at Miami University and is now
an assistant professor of micro-
economics there.
In a 25-page letter to officials at
Rutgers, Lackman denied that he
plagiarized the article. Included in the
letter are "original, handwritten
mathematical computations and
correspondence on the topic with
colleagues," said Lackman's lawyer.
The board of editors of the journal
have investigated the case for a ear
and a half. "We would not have
published the notice had we not conduc-
ted a very careful investigation," said
Harvard Vice President Daniel
Steiner.
The investigation revealed that
Lackman's article was the same as
Chenault's, except for the byline and a
footnote.

scholars have shown the effects of the
cultural revolution. One student had
been forced to spend eight years in an
electrical workshop before attending
college.
Larimore said the purpose of the
program is not to convert Oriental
women to Western ways, but rather to
provide "scholarly and scholastic
training that is not available in their
home countries." She said participants
agree to return to their home countries
after their stay at the University and
that most do return home.
ETHEL THOMS, a Rackham staff
member who works with the program,
said the almost 500 women who have
received the scholarships have come
from India, Korea, the Phillipines,
Vietnam, Burma and Indonesia in ad-
dition to China and Japan. They study a
wide range of disciplines and enter
professions ranging from bacteriology,
psychology and medicine to business
