By JOHN HUNT
Reporter Editor
Omicron Delta Kappa, the
national Leadership Honorary at
Stetson, has recently announced
plans te implement a new program
known as "academic honesty,"
according to Dr. E. Garth Jenkins,
Dean of Student Affairs.
"Essentially it addresses cheating
on campus," Jenkins said Thursday,
"It is generally agreed that there's
more (cheating) than there should
be." Many students in the honorary
are very concerned about the
problem and have held several
nieetings.to discuss possible ways to
address the problem.
Jenkins said the honorary recently
met with the acarademic deans -of
the 3 schools, the Provost, and the
chairman of the Faculty Senate for
the purpose of attempting to educate
students and faculty as to the
existing problem of cheating and
how to deal with h.
Leadership '
program
planned
By JOHN HUNT
Reporter Editor
A University Task Force lias been
designated to devclope a
*'Leadei'rth;.T; Edacation Program"
as psrt of a gift to ii ie University last
November, sccord'ngtoDrE. Garth
Jenkins, De&n of Student Affairs.
A portion cf ife $3 million gift
from the Mark Hollis family in
Lakeland, Florid* was designated to
develope a unique and distinguished
program which would be a first in
the country.
A task force was formed under the
direction of Dr. Paul Steeves,
chairman to define exactly what
leadership is, and what should be
included in the I fniversity program.
The group has met approximately
sis times with members of faculty.
community and student body.
Jenkins said the task force will look
at such areas as academies, student
activities, speakers, and internships. "Both the characteristics
of leadership and the competencies
of leadership will he considered," he
added
Tne task force first met with a
group of Business and Industry
leaders in Central Florida to find
what they were looking for in college
graduates preparing for jobs.
The task force met again Tuesday
Jenkins said the group established
two main objectives: (1) to educate
students that academic dishonesty is
something that is not tolerated, and
(2) to work with faculty to improve
teaching and testing. This will include an .attempt of faculty "to
reduce temptation" by changing and
securing tests, and assigning different topics on term papers each
Jenkins explained that students in
Omicron Delta Kappa were upset
because they work hard, and other
students are making better grades
that exist." She cited a lack of
awareness on the part of the
professors as part of the problem.
"There should be an atmosphere of
than they are. "They are finding
themselves on the bottom of the
curve," he added.
According to Erin Connors,
president of Omicron Delta Kappa,
the idea of the project is "to raise
students' awareness of the penalties
values in a religious affliated institution," she added.
Connors said the program is
designed to be a possitive image.
Omicron Delta Kappa will be

with 20 students who are involved in
leadership positions on campus to
determine how to incorporate
leadership into the existing courses
at Stetson.
Jenkins sighted class participation as one example. Classes
should involve more participation
from students as opposed to straight
lecture. "A student should be forced
to take a position and defend ffljjft
both written and verbal eoigft

be performing in the Edmund's

which gives students from various
colleges and universities an opportunity to contract with entertainers of all types.
