Academic Honesty
Discipline Boards
To Be Proposed
Committees composed of three faculty members and two
students will be set up in each college to deal with cases of
academic dishonesty if All-University Cabinet accepts the
student encampment academic honesty committee’s report
tonight. "
These committees would handle first offenses only. Sec
ond and later offenses would be
referred to a central disciplinary
committee.
The chairman of each college
committee would be a member of
the central disciplinary commit
tee. Representatives from each
college committee would also
meet periodically to discuss uni
formity of penalty.
The report, to be presented by
Joyce Shusman, chairman of the
encampment group, will also'rec
ommend that a permanent com
mittee to implement the honesty
program be set up. The committee,
if approved, will consist of the
Senate subcommittee on academic
honesty, the chairman - and one
other student member of the en
campment committee, and any ad
ditional individuals needed to
make the group representative.
The report divides cheating in
to three categories and recom
mends the following penalties:
For unpremeditated cheating—
probation and notification of par-
Big Powers
May Study
Disarming
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Oct.
13 (JP) —The United State's, Brit
ain and France joined Canada to
day in a call for a big-power
group to tackle disarmament
problems once more after the
long-standing deadlock has been
aired fully in' the UN General
Assembly. *
They took- a stand against a
Philippine resolution which
would have set Nov. 15 as a dead
line for a report from the pro
posed big power group to the As
sembly’s political committee. That
suggestion was made yesterday
by the new Philippine delegate,
Felixberto Serrano, without con
sultation with the big powers
here. Western delegates said no
rear report could be made in such
a short time.
Private Meetings Asked
Paul Martin, Canadian minister
of health and welfare, told the
Political Committee that Canada
believed the disarmament nego
tiations should be carried on in
private, • without the searching
glare of publicity, just as the talks
had been conducted in ILondon
last spring.
He proposed that the group be
the same as the London confer
ence—the United States, Britain,
Prance, Canada and Soviet Union.
It would work under the 12-nation
U.N. Disarmament Commission
rather than under the auspices of
the 'Political Committee -as Ser
rano proposed.
No Deadline .Fixed
. Martin did not fix any deadline
for a’report from the group but
indicated the negotiations should
be as thorough as possible.
After some spirited procedural
talk in the committee, Serrano
decided not to press for an im
mediate vote on his proposal but
to wait , until _all resolutions are
voted on at the end of the general
debate, which is just beginning.

Phys Ed Prof
Cites Problems
in Curriculum
By PHYLLIS PROPERT
Members of the physical educa
tion profession must solve a lot
of the problems now facing them
if they are to earn the respect of
laymen, William Meredith, pro
fessor of physical education at
the University of Pennsylvania,
said yesterday.
Speaking before students and
faculty of the College of Physical
Education and Athletics, Meredith
said a student major club at the
University would help students
solve some of these problems be
fore they meet them personally.
“Not only is there a lack of
unity among members of the pro
fession as to w;hat we are trying
to do, but there .'s also a gross
lack of acceptance of the physical
education profession on the part
of educators and laymen,” he said.
He said students as instructors
must not just “throw the ball
out,” as many teachers do, but
must teach physical education in
order to overcome the lack of ac
ceptance for their profession.
Meredith said that some of the
problems that hurt the profession
are lack of facilities and time,
poorly prepared teachers, laziness
on the part of good teachers, and
poverty stricken programs in the
schools.
