Asbestos-removal jobs launched
Two more asbestos-removal pro
jects will be started this montn in
the main library, said Chip Semer-
jian, assistant director of Physical
Plant.
Monday, workers will begin a
three-week project in a basement
mechanical room, and on Aug. 16 a
six-week project will start in a me
chanical space between the fourth
and fifth floors.
James TenBrook, director of
Physical Plant, said the deterio
rating asbestos found in both loca
tions was contained in pipe
insulation. It was found during
phase two of the asbestos removal
project, in which other areas of the
library were inspected.
Semerjian said neither project
will interrupt regular use of the li
brary.
The removal projects in the
main library’s lobby and audito
rium are operating according to
schedule, he said. Since classes are
scheduled in the auditorium
during fall quarter, restoration
there will be the main priority.
Although the restoration may
not be completed by fall quarter,
the areas will be operational, he
said.
Air tests conducted in June
showed asbestos levels below the
code of federal regulations. How
ever, since bulk samples taken
from walls in the lobby and audito
rium area were positive, the re
moval process was started.

CHEAT
From page 1
erage of male cheaters to be a 2.34
and female to be a 2.33.
Dr. Steve Brown, director of
counseling and testing, said the
competition among students defi
nitely was a big reason people
cheat.
"With the present system, every
test using a cutting score (where
students are eliminated from cer
tain jobs or schools because of low
scores) is like throwing meat to the
lions,” Brown said.
Lee study also determined that
men were slightly more prone to
cheat than women. Men were de
pendents in 53 percent of the cases,
women in 47 percent.
• Fall quarter saw the most
cases reported, with 19 of the 53
coming then. Spring was next with
12 cases, winter with nine cases
and summer had only seven cases.
•Cheating was the most ram
pant among Arts and Sciences stu
dents, with 21 of the cases.
However, this school is also the
largest on campus. The Business
School had 10 cases and most other
schools had at least one case.
Psychology with six cases had
the largest number for a specific
mqjor. The rest of the cases were
spread evenly throughout other
majors.
“It’s really spread out," Lee said.
The cases come from all over the
place.”
•Of the cases ruled on by the ju-
diciaiy last year, 72 percent of
people were found guilty, with 28
percent being cleared of charges.
Lee said he was comfortable
with this rate, which is about the
same as previous years.
The punishment given to guilty
students ranged from written rep
rimands to four quarters of suspen
sion. Most of the students received
one quarter suspension, plus pro
bated expulsion, which means that
any further charges could result in
immediate expulsion.
The sentences given depended
on the facts of the case and mit
igating circumstances, said Lee.
"Cheating is cheating, but the
facts of why you cheated could be
different,” he said.
Deaths of family members or
close friends during exam time or
side effects of medication were
some of the mitigating circum
stances which lowered the sen
tences of some students, said Lee.
But, he warned, all excuses have
to be substanially proven. Simply
telling the judiciary something
isn’t good enough, written official
proof is needed.
• Of the 53 cases reported, 47
have already been ruled upon, but
six are still pending. The average
time taken to rule on a case is 15.9
days.
Nine cases were later appealed.
Of those appealed, three verdicts
were overturned, four verdicts
were upheld, one was reduced and
one was modified.
“If you look back at 47 hearings,
nine appeals look very good.” Lee
said. The three that were over
turned is not bad. I would be more
concerned if 30 cases were ap
pealed."
Brown said that going to a
“master system” of grading and
testing would help eliminate
cheating and improve the educa
tion most students receive.

Student running for office
Thomas Stubbs, a 22-year-old
political science major, is plan
ning to run for county commis
sioner under the new unified
government in district 4. He will
graduate from the University in
December and plans to run as a
student who won’t forget city res
idents.
“I plan to represent not only
students but city residents,” he
said.
Housing reform of laws not fa
vorable to students, historic pres
ervation, and the possibility of
bike lanes on dangerous roads
are some of the issues Stubbs has
considered.
As far as campaign funds,
Stubbs said he believes it won’t
be necessary to spend a large
amount of money to run.
“Initially, I would have to take
out a bank loan,” he said. He will
accept small donations but will
refrain from taking large dona
tions.
