Quote of the week: OPINIONS “ I'm not obsessing. I'm just curious.” – Ricky Fitts, American Beauty Technique • Friday, June 29, 2001

OUR VIEWS Consensus Opinion Stop cheating Tech’s current honor code relies on the integrity and hon- esty of students to not only refrain from cheating themselves but to turn in other students who violate the code. The use of computer programs is a neccesary supplement to the code in order to reduce cheating. The University of Virginia is a good example of how an honor code cannot stand alone. They have the longest stu- dent-run honor code, yet a program designed by a Physics professor found 122 plagiarized papers. UVA is evidence that Editorial Board: no matter how long Tech works on the honor code, it will never be without fault nor eliminate cheating altogether. Matthew Bryan, Editor-in-Chief The honor code teaches students not to cheat because it is Jody Shaw, News Editor morally wrong. However, something more tangible should be Julia Trapold, Opinions Editor Emily Cavender, Campus Life Editor put in place to reach the students who do not see inherent Sara Cames, Entertainment Editor value in academic integrity.

The programs will be a good way to support the honor code framework already in place. While the use of computer programs will be a good addi- tion to the honor code, it should not replace the code or become as prominent. The honor code should still be taught to students and taken seriously as an important ideal of the Tech community, while the computers work quietly in the of the Tech community who had died in the past year.
