...Lost of cheating was still going on," says Patty Wen '80, who spent seven months at Peking University (P.U.) last year as a foreign student. "There was one case publicized in the People's Daily about a girl at P.U.

...clash between military regulations and human nature has produced inevitable problems. An upper-class male was suspended for two years recently by the cadet honor committee on charges of telling a female cadet that he would like to know her better, then denying to his company executive officer that he had made the statement, which he wrongly thought violated a regulation against "fraternizing" with a plebe. His denial of the incident broke the honor code. If he decides to return to West Point, some cadets say that he will be "silenced," meaning that classmates will not speak...
