ever this does not include para
graphs which precede or follow. If
the footnote number is placed at
the end of a sentence within a para
graph, reference would lie made to
that sentence alone or to the ma
terial within the paragraph which
preceded the footnote.
2. For any material which is
quoted verbatim, quotation marks
must be used before and after the
material or the material must be
set off by indentation.
3. Paraphrasing is defined as the
reading of research material and
the using of that material in the
words of the student as opjiosed to
the direct quoting of that material
from the original source. Para
phrasing in a pajier cannot be con
sidered the simple inversion of a
sentence or the exchange of articles
or a few words To paraphrase is
to change into one's own words and
style of writing. Paraphrasing cor
rectly, however, does not eliminate
the necessity of footnoting the idea.
4. The guide adopted by Mercer,
Kate I,. Turabian’s A Manual for
Writers of Term Papers. Theses
and Dissertations (copies are avail
able in the College Book Store),
should be used and followed care
fully. Any questions which are not
answered by Turabian or this sum
mary should he referred to the pro
fessor. However, no matter how
much one knows or understands,
carelessness, sloppiness, or simple
unconcern can lead to errors just as
ignorance can Ignorance, careless
ness, sloppiness, nor typographical
errors can be accepted as an excuse
for plagiarism
You should provide a footnote
whenever:
1. You use a direct quotation
2. You copy i table, chart, or
other diagram
3. You summarize a discussion in
your own words
4 You construct a diagram from
data provided by others.
5. You paraphrase an opinion
which you have read rather than
reached independently.
6. You present specific evidence
which cannot reasonably be con
sidered common knowledge.
7. You use an idea that is not
your own.
Roger Anderherg was named
Toby and Joanie Rougher was
named Tot after a student body-
election during last week's home
coming festivities. Alpha Gama
Delta won first place in the ills
play competition with Sigma Alpha
Epsilon second, and Chi Omega
third.
Anderherg, a junior from Bridg
ville, Pennsylvania, was nomiated
by Alpha lteita Pi. Vie is the vice
president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon
fraternity and a leading metnlier
of the "E” basketball team Roger,
who is consistently on the Dean's
List, plans to enter med school
upon graduation
Joanie is IrortT Fort ljiuderdale,
Florida She was nominated hv
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and is a
Little Sister of Minerva She is
also the past president of Chi
Omega sorority and is on the
Honor Council. This past week she
was featured l>v the CLUSTER as
the girl “Student of the Week.”
Both Roger and Joanie are an
asset to this university and are well
worthy of the honor bestowed upon
them.
In the display competition Alpha
Gamma Delta Sorority took first
place with an Aladin's lamp with
a mechanized top Second place
went to Sigma Alpha Epsilon who
created a scene in wishfulness with
Uncle Sam presenting the Mercer
Bear with a check for the much
needed Federal Aid. Chi Omega
captured third place with their dis
play entitled “Golden Gateway to
Learning.”
The general concensus is that
Homecoming was a great success,
with much of the credit going to
Student Personnel Director Jerry
Stone. The activity began with a
Student-Faculty basketball game
which the faculty won 137 136. The
student team felt it might have won
had not the cheering section been
for the faculty. As a sidelight to
the game Miss Fran Hart put on
an exciting demonstration of how
to ride the unicycle, after having
been grossed out by Mr Ernest
Gilbert, the head referee.
Also highlighting the half-time
break was the sack race between
Mr. Doug Johnson and the Mercer
Bear. The final touches to the
game were added when two still
unknown culprits adorned Captain
James Benson with two fresh eggs.
At this |X>int, Mr. Johnson, the
cafeteria manager, raced to the
scene to save the eggs for break
fast As a reward, he was given a

felt he needed.
Friday night the student body
and some of the faculty were enter
taint'd by the beautiful sounds of
Miss Dionne Warwick in concert
Her performance was greatly en
joyed by those who attended and
the Cluster feels that Jerry Stone
deserves special recognition for his
efforts in bringing Miss Warwick
to Mercer. Saturday was highlight
ed with the music of Buddy’s
Buddies in the R.Q.T.C. Armory
Saturday night the Mercer Bears
played a spirited game only to lose
to Samford in the final minutes. A
dance followed the game and was
held at the McKenna Armory with
Eddie Floyd as th<- featured artist.
The finishing touches to Home
coming were applied Sunday morn
ing in Willingham Cha|iel as Dean
Thomas Trimble lead a very in
spiring chnjM'l service.
On the whole this was a very
good homecoming, spirit was high
