Integrity at the YWCA,
The committee, which is composed of faculty-members and students alike, discussed the general subject of "Is Cheating a Matter of Self-Defense?”
The Committee maintained, as does the McCall article, that an over emphasis is placed on the importance of grade--. Such high value is placed on grade averages that a student will use any means to get an A or B.
Real Goal Lost In the struggle to get a good grade, the magazine maintains, the student often loses sight of the real goals of education.
Also discussed by the committee was a long list of recommendations which Hip Faculty Senate's committee on cheating intends to present to the ASSC senate.
Among other things, the list includes a number of suggested methods of controlling and preventing cheating on campus.
Student Disapproval The faculty suggests that a more thorough job of destroying mimeograph carbons of tests be done; that there be a more thorough screening of proctors and assistants to the instructors; and that widespread disapproval of dishonesty hy the student body would also help.
The student-faculty committee was composed of Dean of Students Bernard H.vink, Dr. William Templeman, Liz Jones, and Jim Maddux.

Africans Will Rock In Bovard
Bovard Auditorium will sway to the rhythmic beating of tom-toms, the throb of bongos, and the fury of war chants this Sunday, as the African students of ten Southern California colleges and universities present the 1 fifth annual African Harvest Festival, at 8:30 p.m.
| Admission is free, but dona-i tions will be accepted.
| The program will feature a variety of performances, includ-I ing original African folk dancing with original costumes, Miss Jones and Maddux em- i wrestling, drum communication,
phasized too that honesty is of definite value, thereby upholding the view's of the faculty members.
Involves All Classes The McCall article, while maintaining that "cheating is a national problem,” said that it involves youngsters from good families as well as bad.
"Honor systems—used in ten per cent of the nation's colleges —are not preventatives for cheating,” the magazine article | continued.
“As witness- the fact that 93 cadets, the cream of the football squad, were Caught cheat- | ing at West Point a few years ago, and 109 students were caught at the University of Florida.”
Included in the article were comments by scores of students, who said: "how else are you supposed to get ahead,” or "it’s okay if you get away with it,” or, ‘‘it can’t be so bad when everyone I know does it.”

African wedding, and the rhythms of the bongo and tomtom. Rhythms that have been influenced by America and Latin America are also scheduled. Promotes Culture and Tradition Chukuemeka Okeke. emcee of I the show, said that all the performers are non-professionals from local colleges and universi- ! ties whose main purpose is to ' give to the American audience j some idea of the African culture and tradition.
The show includes a torch dance done only by young worn- j en because of its vigorous move- | ments and exercise.
"After seeing, this dance,” Okeke said, "Americans will understand why African women do ! not have to go on diets.” Another dance features Afro-American Robert leHouse, who becomes so engrossed with the rhythm of the drums that he dances until he collapses from exhaustion. ^
Even wrestling will be done to drum beat. Different drum rhythms are used to tell each combatant the holds and strategy to use. African wrestling differs 1 from American, he explained. In that there are more ways to ob-| tain a fall.	>
Features Popular Drummer Anyogu Ukonu, program director and performer, is considered by many to be the best African drummer in the United States. Ukonu. a UCLA theatre arts major, has appeared on stage and ' television, and is booked to perform for two months this summer at the Last Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas.

"Already recognized hy his colleagues and students for his unusual talent, this scholar-teacher has. through the magic of television, carried Shakespeare's profound wisdom and eloquent speech to thousands wno today.have a better understanding of the deeper meaning of poetic grandeur because of him and KNXT (CBS).
“In recognition of this major contribution to cur country’s cultural growth and to the stature of television as an educational device, the Peabody Television Award is hereby presented.”
Dr. Baxter's reply was;
“I am deeply grateful for this coveted award. Apart from my personal gratification, I am glad for the encouragement this will give to the many other people who are now engaged In educa- i tional television.
“Letters from very old and very young, from professional men, librarians, teachers, patients in government hospitals, thousands of housewives, and from all sorts of people, have reassured me that educational
television answers America.
"We are all trying to get people to read more widely and appreciatively. I must thank CBS for devoting good saleable time to my programs on a public service basis.”

Party Boss Joe Cerrell may have to successfully play the role of Caesar's wife. Calpurnia, and keep the Row members united behind independent Greg Taylor. Cerrell and his “inner ciYcle,” however, seem capable of fulfilling their obligations to the parly. Not a newcomer to politics, Cerrell has had his finger in the political pie since his first days as a freshman.
In the days of the old Unity
under his command, the party became a powerful machine.
It has been said that Cerrell's key to leadership seems to lie in a basic knowledge of political strategy and a willingness to put in long hours of work. During campaign months, he averages eight hours a day on TRG activities.
“Inner Circle” Revealed
Running a major political campaign is too much work for a single man, and Cerrell realized this. Therefore, he has gathered about him a “kitchen cabinet" of political strategists who compose the “inner circle" of TRG.
