Recently at UCLA, an English professor flunked 10 students and lowered the grades of others for allegedly cribbing in the preparation of a literary term paper.
Precautions Taken
The 10 students were given failing grades after they assert-edly plagiarized ciitical material from standard sources and passed it off as their own.

"We ljelieve basically that students aie fine people,” he said.

“We regard these as more important than work done outside of class,” he said.
Dr. Lovell can recall only one case of undergraduate plagia-usm in his 13 years at SC.
“It is so very easy to detect it that the possib.e rewards don’t begin to measure up to the penalties,” noted Dr. Lovell.
In the School of Education professors are not so much concerned over students’ using source material as they are over the fact that they do not indicate by footnotes that they are using it.

Religion Clarifies History~Dr. Robb
Science needs theology to explain the meaning of man’s history, declares Dr. J. Wesley Robb, who will talk on “Science and Theology” at 4:13 p.m. today in Mudd Hall.
The religion department head will discuss his theory in the fourth of the current Philosophy Forum series on “Science and Man.”
He will show that both science and theology are cognitive enterprises which try to explain the meaning and significance of different dimensions of human experience.
Physical World
“Science is concerned with an understanding of the inter-rela- \ tionship of the physical w'orld so man will be aware of the varied aspects in the world about him,” j Dr. Robb said.
“In a similar way theology is an attempt to understand and explain the significance of relig- i ious ex|>erience and events within man’s history,” he continued.
“More basic than the cognitive attempts of either science or theology to understand experi- I ence is the lived-through events which serve as the starting point for both disciplines.”
He said that the oversimplified | picture of theology as stagnant
event or events within that community to which men of a faith have responded,” he said.
Dr. Robb declared that theological discussion as a process of seeking new symbols and language forms has a dynamic quality. This quality which will more adequately explain and clarify the meaning of the divine-human encounter is illus-st rated in current theological writings and is as truly creative as any scientific enterprise.
He pointed out that conflict between theology and science has occured when myth or symbol has been identified with fact.
“To a large degree this con- : flict has been due to the tend- \ encv in the Western religious 1 tradition toward Biblical literalism. Thus, Biblical at-counts have unjustly been placed along side scientific descriptions about the nature of the physical world.” i Need Insights
“In a world that is fraught with strife, turmoil and ideological conflict, we need the insights of every honest discipline. We also need every honest man | who seeks to load us into a fuller realization of men’s potenti- [ alities and the understanding of ! himself in relationship to the universe of which he is a part,” j

Harmon Unwilling To Budge
By MTA BISS Assistant to the Editor
The so-called “clique” charged with running SCs student government was both blasted and bolstered today by two office-seekers, striking back at current criticism.
Jim Harmon, a candidate for junior class president, backed up his earlier claim that student government is being run by a selective clique.
Tim Clark, a candidate for social studies senator, lashed out at his opponent Robert Fratkin, whose attack against Gary Du-bin and Bill Steigerwalt (both members of the Wally Karabian administration) appeared in yesterday’s Daily Trojan.
Explains View Clark, who questioned Frat-kin’s criticism of the Karabian regime, explained his view of the controlling clique.
“To say that a ‘clique’ does not exist in student government is false, but to call it a ‘bad clique’ is also false.” Clark said.
He pointed out that people who have held responsible positions on campus have been those responsible enough to run for them.
“Since my freshman year, I * have seen the same faces re-appear time and time again throughout student government. These people did not appear because others wTere ‘shut-out’ or ‘denied’ the chance.”
Capable People Clark held that these officeholders reappeared because they were the most capable people.
A member of the Junior Class Execuive Council. Clark felt that he wras well-acquainted with all the “top level” members of student government.
“I have yet to find one who was not hard-working and willing to carrv more than his share of the work,” he said.
Judging Criteria Clark also disagreed with | Union office room of the ASSC ! Fratkins statement that “in Ka-

Miss Arrington has promised “to be an aggressive officer who will go out and solicit the support of various alumni groups.”
Although both Miss Kellv and Miss Arrineton have vowed to represent the students in their legislative capacities as membeis of The Executive Cabinet, the kernel of Miss Arrington’s platform lies in her wish to actively seek "the alumni support which is the life blood of this school as it is of any private university.” In opposition, M>ss Kelly declared. “The ASSC vice presidency is not a political office— it is a social office because the chief duty of the vice president is to act as official hostess of SC.”

“Fratkin has chosen to use this as a derogatory statement. It merely points out his inept-ness to grasp the whole problem of student government at SC.” Clark maintained.
