from SUMMIT, page 1
The nine faculty and seven
students that participated discussed
the various views on grading that
professors and students hold, and
what can be done to bridge the gap
in the views. A handout of 13
questions were distributed to the
participants prior to the event.
A report will soon be issued
by Wise’s office that will detail the
discussion and the suggestions
made.
“The summit went well. It
seemed to give answers to some of
the questions presented, and gave
students and faculty different points
of view,” said Dennis Burlew, one
of the student organizers of the
event. “For a preliminary summit, it
was successful, but there is still a
long way to go.”
Clinton seeks support for oil blockade
Matthew Lee
AFP News Service
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The
United States on Monday moved to
build support among its NATO al
lies for an oil blockade against Yu
goslavia, but officials acknowl
edged resistance to the plan.
White House and State De
partment officials said they believed
denying Yugoslav President
Slobodan Milosevic petroleum
products would reduce further his
ability to wage war already degraded
by NATO air strikes.
“We do believe that it’s ap
propriate to take all possible steps
to deny Belgrade the access to pe
troleum, oil and lubricants ... that
contribute to Belgrade’s war ma
chine,” State Department spokes
man James Rubin said.
He noted that the air strikes
had already done significant dam
age to Belgrade’s own oil refining
capabilities, but said to truly sup
press Milosevic’s war-making abil
ity the outside supply of such prod
ucts also had to be halted, a position
echoed at the White House.
“We think it’s important that
we work within NATO and the alli
ance to make sure that as we choke
it off on the ground, we stop sup
plies from coming in from the out
side,” spokesman Joe Lockhart said.
“Petroleum, oil (and) lubri
cants are completely necessary for
their ability to wage war.”
Rubin, calling Belgrade’s
military “evil,” said Secretary of
State Madeleine Albright began lob
bying for the oil cut-off over the
weekend with telephone calls to her
European colleagues.
Though he declined to be spe
cific, Rubin indicated that some
NATO members, while agreeing
that Belgrade’s oil supply should be
reduced, were not in favor of the
move.
“This is something we’re dis
cussing (in NATO),” he said. “But
we haven’t settled on the exact ap
proach. Remember, we’re consult
ing with 18 other countries in NATO
to try to pursue this, and so that is
something we will continue to pur
sue in Brussels.”
“We believe all our allies see
the wisdom of pursing this objec
tive, and we’re discussing ways in
which to pursue it in NATO.”
Lockhart said Washington’s
position was that no new UN man
date was necessary as a UN arms
embargo against Belgrade is already
in effect.
“Our basis (for the blockade)
is that there already is a United
Nations’ resolution banning any
importing of military supplies ...
and we believe that the petroleum is
an essential element and is covered
under the UN resolution,” Lockhart
said.
Critics have noted that a
blockade might unintentionally
harm Montenegro, Serbia’s minor
partner in the Yugoslav Republic,
in which the country’s only port is
located.
Montenegro has distanced it
self from Belgrade over Kosovo
and NATO has repeatedly praised
its government for that stance.
Rubin reiterated U.S. support
for Montenegro and stressed that
the denial of access might not nec
essarily take the form of a blockade.
He said the term “blockade”
was “very loaded” and wanted to
avoid it, maintaining that a variety
of options were being studied.
Meanwhile, China on Mon
day repeated its calls for an imme
diate end to NATO strikes against
Yugoslavia, adding it solutions re
garding Kosovo being imposed on
Belgrade.
“As for now it is a matter of
priority for NATO to cease imme
diately its military actions against
Yugoslavia,” said Chinese ambas
sador Qin Huasun.
“We are deeply concerned by
the deterioration of the situation in
the Balkan region caused by the
continued NATO military strikes
against Yugoslavia,” he continued.
Moreover, Qin added, “we
are against imposing any solution
on Yugoslavia.”
China, a permanent member
of the UN Security Council, has
bitterly criticized the NATO air
strikes launched on March 24 as
interference in another country’s
affairs.
Elon Academic Honor Code Violations: Case #2
Last week's case described two student, Sally and Anita, whao had copied from one another's
work while completing a test. Both women confessed to having looked at the other's paper. The
students were given sanctior\s listed in the ELon Student Handbook as standard sanctions for a
first offense: 1) Their instructor was sent a note recommending that they both receive a grade of
"F" for the course, 2) They were both put on academic probation for 12 months, and 3) They were
given an academic assignment by the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs.
Elon Academic Honor Code Violations: Case #3
The following case describes an honor code violation at Elon College during the last three years. Names
and class titles have been altered to protect the privacy of people involved.
Nancy was enrolled in a class where students are required to complete observations in a field
setting. Each week the student spend three hours observing professionals working with clients.
These observations, and interviews with the professionals involved, form the basis for journals
and case studies. This work makes up a significant portion of the student's grade for the course.
Nancy turned in two journals (observations for two days) that appeared normal. Content in the
third and fourth journals, however, appeared very general and the instyctor began to question the
work- When Nancy turned in the fif^ journal, a report of the interview with the professional, the
instructor became sure that Nancy had fabricated the report. The instructor and the professional
had been co-workers, and the instructor was sure that the professional would never express the
positions attributed to him by Nancy in her paper. The instructor called the professional and
discovered Nancy had not been seen at the field setting since the date of the second journal. The
instructor filed an honor code incident report with Academic Affairs. When confronted, Nancy
- confessed that she had mae up all work after the second journal.
