'In the total university community all
over the United States, students support administrative action against theft and cheat-:
ing," said James B e a 1 e r, administrative,
assistant of student personnel services. As
his source, he cited a recent survey taken
across US campuses.
Throughout university history, two concepts of 'discipline have developed.
1) The Germanic concept holds that if
a student is doing well academically, it is
not the university's place to interfere with
his other activities.

Have you ever seen an orange plastic leg? One will be on
display during the Faculty Art Show beginning Sunday at noon
in the University Center.
The show will run through June 3 and will be open 12 to
8 p.m. daily.
Each art department faculty member will exhibit his works
in the show which will feature new directions to paintings and
new visual experiences.
•  The plastic leg designed by Richard Kline will be one of
the highlights of the show. '
A wide variety of materials and directions range from semi-
figurative to abstract to totally non-objective 3-dimensional
pieces.
According to Frank Stillings, dean of School of Fine and
Applied Arts, "The strong student interest in seeing the faculty
works was a key factor in determining the origin of this first
show by this faculty."
The exhibit equipment used was purchased by the Alumni
Development Fund and the University.
