University Stresses Academic Integrity The University as an instrument of learning is predicated on the existence of an environment of integrity. Faculty and students share the responsibility for maintaining this environment. Due to the concerned results of a student sur- vey regarding cheating, the Academic Affairs Unit of the Student Senate and the Academic Standards Commissions (ASCOM) published a brochure entitled Academic Integrity at USC -- A Guide for Students and Faculty. The purpose of this brochure is to publish in one place an annotated summary of univers- ity policies regarding the joint responsi- bility of faculty, students, and adminis- trators for class-related problems of academic integrity. Included in this bro- chure is a detailed definition of academ- ic dishonesty, guidelines to assist faculty in upholding their responsibilities, and courses of action when a violation has occurred. This attempt at fostering a feeling of integrity on campus will hope- fully culminte in greater student respect for the standards of the university.

Class Studies the Literary John Lennon use ' s College of Continuing Educa- tion has chosen this year to honor the late John Lennon by offering a class en- titled The Aesthetics of John Lennon . Taught by James Sauceda, the class fo- cuses on Lennon ' s literary style. The instructor, a part-time University faculty member who recently received his Ph.D. in the interpretation of litera- ture, has studied Lennon ' s artistry in depth. His teaching tools include books written by Lennon, and some rare Bea- tles albums. Ed Sullivan Productions has even released the hour-and-one-half film of their appearance on the show to the class. Sauceda also lectures from a book that he is writing called THE LIT- ERARY LENNON. John Lennon was not only honored by Sauceda ' s class this year, but also by the creation of a seven-foot bronze statue that was unveiled at the start of the fourth annual Los Angeles Street Scene Festival at City Hall. The denim clad Lennon figure stands with his arms crossed, holding a Mao cap. The statue is the work of twenty-seven-year-old Australian-born Brett Livingstone. The statue took seven months to create and cost $65,000. It will remain at City Hall for one year and then will be moved to a more visible site, possibly to the corner of Hollywood and Vine. RIGHT: FINAL WORDS — Miss Kay, a guest speaker for the Aesthetics of John Lennon class, was the last person to have an interview with John Lennon.
