In order to alleviate possible
unfairness in the College's deal-
1ngs wuh :1cadcm1c inu:grily,
Honor Board Chair Ashley
Schmitt and Dean of Students
Michael Ford re-designed an all­
mclush1c and s1rucwrc<l n1lc of
procedure with an official man­
date stnting 1ha1 all cases of al­
leged academic misconduct
must go m front of the Honor
Board_
These changes came about as
a result or past mcons,stcncies
In adherence to the Academic In•
ttgrity Policy & Procedures. In
the past, many similar cases of
academicchshones1y resulted m
d1fferent sanction, (front I he fac­
ulty member or 1he Honor
Board). The Student Academic
Affairs Board (S/\AB), A5LC Stu•
dent Counc,I, the Admissions.
Awmls, and Acaclcnuc Standing
Boord (AAAS), and the faculty
unommously approved 1 he new
design and enactment began in
Dcccmbc.r.
or the 21 cases or alleged mis­
conduct in 1he pns1 two years
filed by faculty members with
the Dean or Students but only
ten of them appeciml before the
Honor Boa.rd. According to Lhc new rules or procedure. now all
students arc equally accountable
10 the College-wide academic
11ncgmy policy.
Schmin. who orig111ally pro­
posed the changes and is confi­
dent In the system believes the
Honor Board provides a "fair,
unbiased seumg" to hear the
case. In con1rast, "the faculty
may be too involved 10 step bnck
and observe I the situation I," she
said. The Honor Board has the
advantage of obJecuvny. "It's the
bcsL Lhing wc•ve got." sa1cl
Schmnt,
Facuhr mcmhers also still
have control over assigning a
grade penalty either by failure of
assignmcn, or the course and
then must r«1uest a College
Honor Bonrd hearing for pos­
siblr additional actton If the
Honor Board finds the s1Udent
innocem of the act or academtc
dishones,y, 1hc faculty is then
asked 10 remove the penalty
grade. If the faculty member
dedmes to do so, the ~lonor
Board will then request a review
of tl,e case by the Dean of the
College, who will have the au•
thority to make the final deci•
sion_
.. ll is clear 10 me that 1hc
Honor Board is a very respon• stve. objecuve.Ju<hctal body that
works in partnership w11h the
faculty and s1udcnts," said ford.
Ford feels that through the
change In procedure, all parties
involved :ne guarnnttcd "'fonda­

change in procedure reinforces
the importance ur intcgn,y bi•

the faculty member and s1Udent.
Prolessor William Randle,
who has served on the llonor
Board since 1996, also expressed
confidence in the ne,v proce­
dures. Rnndlr 1hinks that It 1s
important to have a judicial body
to monitor, he levels t)f academic
dishonesty 1ha1 may occur
within a college. However, he
said ,ha, ac.,ckm,c dishonesty at

He believes tha, the new rules

or the Honor Board-when i hey
may not h:ove done so 111 1hc
pas1. He bclie,•cs the faculty,
who passed the mouon unani•
mously, will take advantage of
the procedural changes.
The Academic lntcgmy Poh•

rrnes academic dishones1y as "Acts of academic chshonesty

the popular ,magi nary First,
R1gobtrtJ Menchu Tum was nm

1augh1, or because she wrote her

peoples, exiles, returned refu­
gees for human righ1s in general.
Second, we musl remember
when her book was produced.
Since before Theodor Adorno
asked how there could be poeny
af1er Auschwitz, people have
struggled 10 represem holo­
taus1s. Ms. Mcnchu's book is an
example of such a struggle. In
1982 when she gave 1hc inter­
views which became the bovk,
en1lre villages were being mas­
sacred by the army and a whok
gencrntion or church workers,
Mayan shanrnns. commumty
leaders. development technt­
cian.s, umverslly prorcssors and
Sludents, and rural teachers was
bcmg wiped ou1 by the anny
People were ktlled, "dtsap­
pe:ircd," or driven into exile, and
many we.re rounded up nnd plnrcd in n:-ctluc.t1non ccntl'rs.
M~ Mcnrhu, orphaned, hardy
20 years old and rcccnlly es­
caped from Guatemala, focecl 1hc
rnsk of making these umhink­
nblc experiences real cnouith [or
nn 1ntcmauonal audience to un ..
<lcrst,111<l wh} some people had
1aken up am1s :,grunsl 1hc dicta­

It 1< an exphtt1ly poll11c.1I

nrc ,he poh11cal stakes m undcr­
mmmg her credibih1i•? Will it
support the struggle, or mcltg­
cnous and poor peoples?
I am also disturbed by the
Rtplcy's Believe it or Not reduc­
tionism of much of Lhc coverage.
Not on1y post-modcmist.s know
that 1ruc and not lnic nrc no1
always dear cm. and in fact may
lead to an impoverished under­
sianding of complex real11ics. It
is probably true that Ms.
Mcnchu's fnmily was uwolvcd in
mtcrnecme st rugglcs over land,
but il is no 1css 1 rue (as even
USAID adrmts) 1hat Guatemala
hns one of the most unequal land
distributions in 1he hemisphere.
It may be mic tha, Ms. Menchu's
o""' bro1hcr did no1 cite of mal­
nu1rition, but it 1s ccrtn1nly true
that thousands of children cite

LCTV was-on proba11on
Malcolm replied, •Not that l
know,• adding that he had re•
ccntly asked members of the
Student Medi.a Board the same
question and was told that the
organization is in the clear.
However, last. year ASLC was
given 1he recommendation 10
monttor LCTV, but has not
enforced it.
Even if the recommenda­
tion was being followed.
LCTV would not be din:ctly
affected. LCTV is a sub-sec­
tion or Picture This Produc­
tions, a student-run organiz.a~
lion designed to sponsor stu­
dent-made films, create
projects which will expose
students to student-made and
:tltemau,•e films {such 3S the
72-hour Film Festival and Al·
lemative Movie Night in the Rus1y Nail), and crlso produce
n weekly half-hour or so of
skit .. driven enlertatnme.nt
"Everyone says LCTV. It's
easier lO say LCTV. l say
LCT'I." said Malcolm, "But its
Picture This Productions,' Ac•
cording to Malcolm, LCTV {10
use the vernacular) is still
around, but its natur~ has
changed. Right now people are
more interested In making
longer films rather than skits,
and In specific sryles of film­
makmg such as stop-mouon
animation. At this time a stop•
motion parody or epic propor­
tions is being made by (resh­

•My freshman year, LCTV

offers a few classes wb.ich in•

but those tend to focus on
documentary pieces, a serious
style which seems to conflict
with the golden age of LCTV
skits.
Memorable from the past
few years are skits like "Dorm

the "Puppel News" {including
the irreverent Christmas-time

,he game. Mistakes piled up, and
the lead shrank as Willamette
inched its way back into ,he
game. The Bea.rcats' never-say•
die approach kft them with the
lead with less than 1wo minlllcs
remaining in !lie game. Pioneer
freshman sensation Scou Davis
hiL" three-pointer with about
one minute left in the game to
close the margin to 3 points.
Davis had the ball again wilh the
clock running and the Pioneers
down by 2, but hls 15-foot
jumpcrfell short, ond the 58-60
score was final. Dav,s led all
scorers wi1 h 26 poinlS.
The next evening the Pio­
neers 1-ravcled 10 McMinnville to
take on the lcague-lc:\ding
I.infield Wildcais. Coach Bob
Gaillard, looking 10 provide the
Pioneers with a spark, made his­
first, non-inJury-relincd, starting
lineup change ol the season,
with sophomore forward Troy
Burrows.
The Pioneers won !lie 11 rst
meeting between these 1wo
schools, a 77-75 I hriller held in
Pamplin Sports Center way back
in December. The lingering sting
on the faces of I.he Un field Wild• cats translated into a high­
pressure defense on the
court, that rallied Lhc Pio­
neers all evening /\ see-saw
batlle saw the Pioneers go
into the locker room, clown
by seven.
The second half wus by
no mc.1ns a blow-out, as the
Pioneers hung tough, but
eight lead-changes later the
Pioneers finally succumbed
LO the pressure of the de•
fense, and 1he lead was
opened up 111 I.he last two
minutes. Davis ago!n led tl,c
Pionce,s with 24 points,
shooting 9 ror 12. Burrows
added 15, and senior Eric
Kingma grabbed 10 re­
bounds.
Arter \WO tough losses,
the Pioneers will look to
regroup this weekend whe.n
they toke on the University
of l'uget Sound tonight m

1S an unponant game for tJ1c
