So far this year, out of 19 trial mmggBjPMWB investigations, 10 cases have gone to hearing or trial before the Honor Council. In those 10 cases, some involving more than one student, 10 people pleaded "guilty," three "not guilty," two withdrew from the university, the option allowed in the constitution. Two of the three who pleaded "not guilty" were found "guilty." The penalties given ranged thus: loss of credit on exam or paper involved (4); loss of course credit (1); a grade awl ' vi i -£im of "5" (1); suspension for one semester (4); suspension for three semesters (1); suspension for four semesters (1). This last very harsh penalty was given to a student convicted of a severe violation for the second time.
