WASHINGTON (AP)-Twenty
per cent of freshmen in a represen
tative sampling at America’s colleges
and universities admit to cribbing on
an examination in the past year.
The finding is included in a sur
vey of 206,865 current freshmen at
251 colleges and universities released
Saturday night by the American
Gouncil on Education, the principal
coordinating agency for higher edu
cation in the nation.
About 20 per cent of all first-year
students this fall were asked to fill
out questionnaires delving into every
thing from how they plan to finance
their education to whether they par
take of a dietary formula—16 per
cent had—or beer—54 per cent—in
the past year.
The cheating figure was 24 per
cent for men and 16.5 per cent for
women but was relatively uniform
among the various public and pri
vate, two-year and four-year colleges
and universities.
Other findings included:
—22 per cent of the students felt
like “numbers in a book” at their
schools with the highest figure being
40 per cent at public universities and
the lowest 6 per cent at private, non
sectarian, four-year colleges.
— 16 per cent said they had par
ticipated in organized demonstrations
in the past year.
—5 per cent were Negroes with
the highest figure being 13 per cent
