The panel consisted of Dr. Dan iel W. Hollis, Chairman of the fac ulty honor committee; Dr. Alfred Smith, head of the department of economics, Dr. W. H. Wesson of the department of economics and Dr. William Zartnman of the de partment of international studies. Despite posters and announce ments in classrooms and The Gamecock, approximately 55 per sons attended the program. Less than half were students. Dr. Raymond Moore, moderator for the discussion and Program Chairman of the AAUP, began the program by stating the findings of a study by the Bureau of Ap plied Social Sciences on cheating among college students. Accord ing to this report, published re cently in the New York Times, at least one-half of all students now in college have engaged in cheat ing at some time during their aca demic careers---almost always be cause of the pressure of competi tion for grades. Dr. lollis, who is currently serving as University historian, opened the discussion by telling f the decline of the honor ciode t USC in recent y'ears. lHe at ributed the downward t rend to nresing enrollment. decreasing I nnounced 'Carnival' (line.
