...system has a more insidious effect beyond making cheating like a crap shoot in which you win (steal the answer) or lose (get caught). It creates a situation in which the cheater is not committing a crime again his next-desk neighbor, but against a group of obnoxious people who bump his chair while he is trying to write his essay. It's not that proctors aren't nice people--and it is good that someone will do the task--but they really shouldn't have any effect on someone's decision to cheat or not. A student should have...
...Chronic cheater Southern Methodist University last week was expelled from football for a season and hamstrung for years to come by the most debilitating penalties ever assessed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. For alumni payments to their players, among other excesses, the Mustangs must hibernate in 1987. They may resume in 1988, but only for seven road games, and there is to be a two-year blackout of live TV. When all the lost revenue is totted up, it may amount to a $4 million fine...

The chicanery of Sweden's Roderick Martin last week was less elaborate, trying to catch up on a neglected target by squeezing off two shots quickly...
McEnroe doesn't have to whine for points the way little kids do when they know they have double faulted but cry "cheater" in frustration anyway. McEnroe wails and curses because he is too lazy to wean himself away from the habits he perfected at Port Washington so many years ago. Whether or not he wins Wimbledon, surpasses Borg, or becomes the greatest player ever, he will never receive the respect of a champion if he doesn't learn to keep his raquet on his side of the court divider and his mouth shut...
