CALGARY (CUP) — Some students are furious at a decision by the‘University of Calgary’s law school to release the names of students accused of academic miscon- duct.
.“It’s public humiliation and it’s an action I don’t support,” says Lawrence Ben-Eliezer, a law student and faculty council repre— sentative “Having to go through the discipline pro- cess is painful encught with-
out having to make the results and proceedings public knowledge. ” -
The law school’s faculty council plans to post in a public place the names of stu- dents who collaborated on an assignment and received a failing mark for doing so. No other faculty on campus discloses the names of those
found guilty of breaching,
academic conduct, according to student council president Cyndi Starzyk.
“For a faculty of law to do something like this is incredible,” Starzyk said. “Why (don’t they)'just hold academic appeal hearings in (the student union building’s) ballroom and sell tickets?”
But law faculty dean Margaret Hughes said the school must maintain high ethical and professional standards. ‘
“This is a law school and if there’s anything we’re try- ing to teach our students,
(it’s) to follow the regulations to the letter. That’s our responsibility, ’ ’ she said.
“The rights and reputa- tions of everybody are at! stake, and that’s much too important to be dealt with at the discretion of whoever (is causing) the problem,” Hughes said. “It’s not just a private matter between instructor involved and the student.”
One academic source who refused to be named said the
law faculty must consider more than just rules and regulations and should look at emotional stress that would be caused by the publication of names.
“From a human point of view, it’s cruel. It doesn’t speak well for the humanism of the faculty concerned. The motivation seems to'be to destroy the person as an individual,” the source said.
The traditional procedure at other Canadian univer-

Sly Dimwilt stared at Drudge. “Well, what now?”
‘ ‘We wait!’ ’ Drudge replied, still bouncing up and down.
“I hate being at the Limits of Imagination!”
“Oh. So do I, but there’s nowhere else to go, except the Outside World. ”
“You make me sick, Drudge.” “Oh. Good."
A stone gateway appeared before them without warning or reason.
“This is it!" Drudge shouted. “Run for it! Come on!”
“Not again!” Sly moaned.
They ran into the Gateway. lt vanished behind them._
“I hate this!” Sly shouted.
Horrible monstrosities ap- peared before them. Some appeared to be blobs of protoplasmic goo with menancing eyes- Others were insect—like creatures coated with slime. Even more ter- rifying manifestations sur- rounded them.
“I am truly tired of this. Let me by!” Sly demanded.
The monstrosities recoiled. Drudge was filled with fear.
“What are you doing?”
Drudge asked
“I don’t know. Who cares? Let me by!”
The monstrosities stood
their ground. In anger, Sly charged at a blob of proto— plasmic goo. He was stupe-
‘pale green triangular
fied at the monstrosities dis- solved away' into nothingness.
Dimwilt and Drudge were standing at the base of a mountain. Sly recognized the Mountains of Darkness stretching from one horizon to another. In front of them was the Outside World. A sun was setting behind the Moun- tain of Darkness.
“Not a desert!” Drudge
.cried. “The Outside World is
supposed to be filled with life! Nol'NOt dirt, rocks, withered trees, and bushes! No! N00!” In fact, the dominant color was drift- wood grey.
Drudge turned around and ran back into the cae from

Dimwilt behind. As he did, the green triangular sun set behind the Mountains.
The earth trembled at Sly’s feet. Thinking it was Glume- bell trying to call him back, Sly ran as fast as hecould into the harsh Outside World. He heard a great rumbling behind him. He looked back.
In the green sunset, the Mountains of Darkness were
collapsing into the gaping
earth. He could hear the screams of the inhabitants of Glumebell and Underland. In horror, Sly ran away even faster. The 70,533 inhabitants of Glumebell were screaming in joy.
The rumbling continued for hours as the Mountains sank deeper, burying Glume- bell, crushing Underland. Sly never stopped running. Then, he fell as a great tremor shook the land. He saw a volcano rise from the destr'uc- tion spewing lava and ashes.
“Get them all, my hungry beast!” Sly shouted as he
struggled to his. feet. He
continued his escape through the night. By dawn, he was reduced to a crawl.
The bright'orange sky and the pale green triangular sun contrasted strongly with the bleached grey of the Outside World. After 30 days without food and water, Sly was slightly fatigued. He fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was night again. He continued his run, feeling refreshed. A few hours later, he heard a voice.
“Hey, Twerp! Why are you running? The Excuses are gone!” the woman
shouted. There was no hint‘
of humor in her voice.
Sly stopped running. “Why not? It keeps my mind off food and water.”
“I’ve found a city. It’s only a. few thousand kilo- meters from here. At thevrate you’re going, you’ll get there in a few, nights.”
“Did anyone else escape?”
“A few Runners must have eluded the Sandmen.”
“Sly looked into the grey
night" sky and saw a myriad of tiny black dots. He even caught a glimpse of a mono: lith (proportioned l x 4 x9). “What are you looking
at?” asked the woman.
“My God! It’s full of‘ stars!”
(For you, the reader, this is the end of the story. For Sly Dimwilt, it .is just the beginning ...) ‘
