and the student group felt that
although this was so, it might
be possible to set him on the
right path.
These considerations might
not have been 'so important, fur
thermore, had it not been that
the . student body had no legal
right to punish X and Y. So the
group did th next best thing
and that was to force them to
leave the campus. However, the
present location of X and ,Y are
known and if the University
finds evidence for prosecution,
they can be returned to Chapel
Hill.
Tuesday morning X and Y, in
A's room in the presence of A,
B and C, reviewed all the names
and cases which had been given
and which the group had put in
fair order. They reviewed all
of X's and Y's activities for
seven straight hours with only a
short time out for lunch. C sat
at a typewriter and wrote every
word down. Immediately after
supper, the group met and work
ing together on the confessions
and testimony thus far received,
drew up an official confession

found it among the contents of

Becomes Outraged
When accused of this,, he be
came outraged and for seeming
ly no reason, pulled from his
pocket a list of names and start
ed to tear the paper up. A and
the council official took it from
him, and on opening it, found
the names Of some of the stu
dents mentioned in Y's previous
coniessions except two. x, on
being questioned j about these,
said that one name he had for
gotten, me otner ne said . was
the name of someone who had
nothing to do with ; the case.
These newly-uncovered papers
were , that night placed in the
University safe with the others
Later in the evening, meeting in
A's room, the group decided to
add-to its membership, and the
new men were asked down.
Before seeing the list of names
. which had been obtained from
: Y, the students were told that it
r contained names of many of
their personal friends and many
of the most prominent campus
figures. They were asked if they
wished to proceed with the case,
and without exception they sig
nified their determined affirma
tive: .. reply. When the names
were read, silence, a hurt si
lence, fell over the room, and for
minutes no one spoke. But one
by one they . voiced their deter
mination to press their investi
gation and carry the case to the
student council and to abolish
the outrageous cheating activity.
Until late in the following morn
ing they discussed plans of pro
cedure for the week. '
More Routine
; The next morning, after a lit
tle sleep, and with three more
additions to its membership, the
group, now numbering eight, set
to work classifying, cross-indexing,
arranging and collecting its
data. This work continued on
through Thursday night until
the 98th and last case had been
turned over to the student coun
cil with as complete evidence as
the students could obtain and
notate. -
The first step in the work was
to file the letters and put-them
into chronological order. Sum
maries of each letter, cross-references
and other data were no-
tated and collected. Names men-
tioned in correspondence,
to the confession after making
several changes. f
The next day X left Chapel
Hill and Y made his exit the fol
lowing day.
Other Evidence
Other evidence besides the
themes, letters and account
books all were collected to estab- straight testimony against stu-

The group worked continu
ously, often from 9 o'clock until
in the morning of the follow
ing day, for four days. In A's
room seven typewriters were
going almost continuously. The
sums, along witn answers lr

occasions X had boasted that he
was able to get any quizzes to
be given in the University ex
cept those in chemistry.
Secondly, X and Y, and their

smoke was heavy, the door was Pers anQ aauy assignments ior
guarded. Men were sent out to students at varying cnarges
obtain references and correla
tion of evidence silently and
they returned quickly and put it
in its proper place.
Secrecy, of course, was abso
lutely necessary. It had been
promised to X and Y for the
reasons stated earlier. The first
consideration of the group had
been the name of the University,
and fear was expressed early in
the investigation of misrepre
sentation of facts throughout
the state, such as has been done
within the last two days.
Remedy and Construction
Therefore, from the very be
ginning the group agreed that
the first steps would be those of
remedy; and construction, and
not destruction And the first
news that the student body must
get would have to be that stu
dents were already takingsteps
to remove this blot on the Uni
versity, and not that such a
nasty , mess existed and was
spreading its cancerous self
throughout the student body.
And then there was the ques
tion of the all-important trustee
meeting of Thursday and yester
day, unon which exposure of
such a situation might have had
a ruinous effect for the Univer
sity. Hence, the story was
guarded, publicity was shunned,
ment. This came after T naa
presented a written charge
against a student council mem
ber at Thursday night's session.
T threatened to , turn the in
dictment over to the Hearst
press. It is reported that this
has been done, to appear in this
morning's papers. Through T,
false and misrepresentative in
formation was transferred to
the state press Thursday night.

Thirdly, they wrote corre

by the hundreds and sold the
exams to the courses. Assign
ments were either typewritten
to be handed in by the client di
rectly or to be rewritten in the
client's own handwriting.
In all cases, students could
get answers which were worth
A, B or C, or lower, and paid
accordingly. In few instances
where certain grades on work
were demanded did X and Y fail
to do work which received such
grades.
Fourthly, they had written
copies,- mimeographs, of notes
and outlines for courses, partic
ularly in economics.
Fifthly, they . actually took
their clients' examinations. This
was done by the "walkout" sys
tem, where the client would
bring the examination questions
to the men's room or some other
pre-arranged spot and the mes
sengers would carry them back
to headquarters to be answered,
to receive any grade the client
wished in keeping with activi
