Plagiarism qualities you to be president of Harvard, if that helps.

Well you also have to be the correct race/gender since we judge people by those immutable traits now.

When I was a freshman at LSU in 1991 some guy that worked in a printing office was selling Math 1021 final exams for $150. I was pissed because i had already dropped the class. I later found out the guy was caught, and they had to throw out the 1021 Final exams and go with whatever your grade was pre final exam. The guy selling exams was kicked out of school.

Yep! Same thing. I think mine was 1992 though.

You may be right. Could have been Spring of 1992 or Fall of 1992.

My dad always tells this story from when he was at LSU in the early 80s. I assume it happened, but I can't confirm that he wasn't making it up.

He said he watched some guy sitting at a desk with his book open filling out the test sheet. A proctor just watched him the entire time. He finishes and walks up casually to turn in the exam. My dad says the exchange went like this:

Proctor: You don't think I am going to accept that test, do you?
Student: Do you know who I am?
Proctor: No, and I don't care who you are
Student: Good

He then puts his test in the middle of the stack, flips all the papers into the air, then runs out of the classroom. I would assume he got away with it as long as nobody snitched.

My father in law tells the same story from the same time frame. Either they were in the same class, or it’s an urban legend/joke that made the rounds around then

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story

In the 60s, there were large black and white monstrous devices. Not hidden. Give me a break, we are talking about a college professor It's bullshite and you know it

You’re very wrong - here’s a story about a pretty famous camera from 1963 that gives you the idea about their size-

Hardly a “large black and white monstrous device”.

And that’s also not to say that the hidden camera wasn’t a still camera, that simply took a photograph.

Regardless, the argument over exactly what type of camera it was doesn’t matter. I’ve heard the story before. It involved an LSU student athlete who was otherwise not notable, who had access to the information through a relative, as well as another who was politically connected. They got caught and kicked out of school.

I was caught cheating on a 7th grade vocabulary test by Sister Clarita at St Catherine. For those who might remember her, this was in 1974ish and she was the Nun who had had polio and had a very swollen left leg.

I was sitting on the workbook that had the vocabulary list. I’d spread my legs to glance at it. She came and stood by me as the time ran out and told everyone to turn in their papers. I pretended to be thinking until she tapped me on the shoulder and told me to put my paper on the desk.

I figured I might have been caught but decided to brazen it out and maybe she wouldn’t notice the book on the chair. So I got up and headed to the front, when the whole class busted out laughing. I had sweated so much when she was standing there that the book stuck to my arse when I got up.

She was a good woman. She never even punished me. She just gave me a 0 on the test, and we were able to drop one grade. Anyone who remembers her can confirm what I say: she was truly a sweet woman. I wish I could go back and tell her that.
