7 (M chat iM UilU hta tUck liomm ilum Ha vi ' M viaijk Hey m to- m oid faidiy teiH Some teachers say that students lack creativity, but when cheating is Involved, creativity soars! Students show their inventive- ness in ways that would make Edi- son blush. One student enlisted the help of an innocent stick of Dentyne to pull off her scheme, I wrote an- swers on a piece of paper and stuck it to the bottom of the desk with a piece of gum. It worked! But sometimes cheating is not a one-man job. One might need a helping hand — literally! A soph- more explains; We used a system of hand signals corresponding to the letters A,B,C, etc. on the mul- tiple choice test. Some students resort to slight of hand. I tossed my pencil across the room, and I went to get it. Then I looked at a friend ' s test paper, another sophomore ex- plained. In spite of all the unusual ways sophomores use, some don ' t al- ways work. One student lament- ed, Me and my friend used the Morse code. It didn ' t work out quite as I planned it! Sometimes the problem isn ' t that the plan didn ' t work, it ' s that the culprits got caught. I was copying homework in my biology class and my teacher saw me. My friend and I both got an F on our homework, a sophomore said. But friendship isn ' t the only reason for cheating; money plays a big role too. I was giving homework assign- ments to others for payments and the teacher compared the assign- ments with other people ' s and gave me a U in citizenship and minus forty points. But it was fi- nancially rewarding! Money, friendship and gum are examples of student creativity in cheating. They may not direct their creative outflow to school work, but they definitely save it for unusual schemes in cheating. Sophomores 295
