In my previous column, I asked you, students of Ripon College, to think about the issue of cheating. I also sent out an informal survey addressing the issue to 250 random students, and the results are in! So, let me repeat the question, and we'll begin: If you caught someone cheating academically, would you turn them in? Would you turn in a friend if you knew they were cheating? A follow up question I have because it is related to this week's column: Is cheating academically a victimless crime? First off, let me just say that everybody knows that cheating is wrong.
Dear Editor, As the officer in charge of the Ripon ROTC program, I?would like to ask the student body's assistance in the training of our Cadets. As many students have observed, our cadets conduct physical training three times a week from 6-7 in the morning.
Residence Life. Love it or hate it, it's an integral part of college. It is the lifeblood of a residential campus, providing both structure and ways of keeping us happy during the dozens of hours during which we are not in class. Residence Life has unfairly received a bad rep over the last few years.
You go to the bathroom and want to wash your hands. After you've gotten them all soaking wet, you notice that the towel dispenser has been ripped off the wall and thrown out the window. You wipe on your pants and go back to your room, careful not to step on any of the broken beer bottles on the floor, fallen exit signs, or broken plastic from the hallway lights.
Cheers to a visit from both the Alumni Board and the Board of Trustees. It's great to see those who have taken a profound interest in us. Jeers to professors who keep their classes 10 minutes after class is supposed to end. Cheers to professors who make up for keeping their classes 10 minutes late by letting class out early next time.
