The proliferation of ,rterm paper

Research Assistance, Inc., is the only
major research organization developed
in the earlier age, that has survived,
according to Art Steckel, national sales
director for Research Assistance, Inc.
Its purpose is not to write term papers,
though, but to provide research to the
persons writing them, he said.
UNL Chancellor James Zumberge
said he has noted a lack of student
interest in the companies, and hasn't
heard of any incidents involving stu
dents plagiarizing papers prepared by a
company in recent years.
Steckel said the company is strictly a
mail order business that caters to the
college student but also provides
services to businessmen. Research
Assistance, Inc., advertises in every
college paper that allows it about 75
per cent of those in the United States, he
said.
Many employes who do research for
Research Assistance are graduate stu
dents earning extra money in their free
time, Steckel.said.
The cost of advertising in the Daily
Nebraskan is such that research sales
barely paid for the advertising last year,
Steckel said. Research Assistance, Inc.,
charges $2.75 per finished page.
Two other research companies adver
tise in the Daily Nebraskan.

rough drafts of papers, letters and
theses. Another company is Essay
Services, located in Toronto, Canada.
Both of these are mail order research
companies.
According to Steckel, there were no
major competitors in the research paper
market. Anyone purchasing a research
paper from Research Assistance, Inc.
must sign a waiver stating that he will
use the material provided for research
only and not for the finished class
project, Steckel said.
Research Assistance, Inc. has used
the waivers in court several times to
prove students agreed not to plagiarize
the paper.
Research Assistance, Inc., recently
won a federal court case brought against
it by the Consumer Protection Agency of
the United States Postal System in Los
Angeles, Calif.
The agency contended, the material
was being provided to be used for the
finished product and that the company's
mailing permit should be revoked,
Steckel said.
Research Assistance, Inc., said their
purpose was to provide research and not
term papers as exemplified by their
waiver policy.
The judge ruled in favor of Research
Assistance, Inc., saying that revoking
the permit would violate the First
Amendment.
"As distasteful as we are to college
professors they still cannot suggest that
the government turn to Fascist mea
sures to stop us," Steckel said.

"It wouldn't matter if
students got on the board
anyway," senior Dean Ven
ter, Hastings, said. "They
wouldn't be listened to if
they didn't have voting
power."
Junior Tom Thompson,
Omaha, said he also sup
ported voting student rep
resentatives because
"nonvoting members
could only watch a meet
ing, not really participate
in it."
A step forward
"I still think it's a step
forward," said Chris
Webster, sophomore,
Wood River, Neb. "If we
got nonvoting students on
the board now, maybe we
could get voting student
representatives later.
Anythlng's better than
nothing."
Sophomores Cathy Slo
cum, Lincoln, and Randy
Meyer, Wood River,
agreed that the regents
would have to listen to a
voting student board
member but doubted that
a nonvoting representa
tive would be heard.
On the other hand,
Roger Thompson, junior,
Filley, Neb. and Paul
Jones, sophomore, Linc
oln said they felt students
need some say in campus
activities and believed
even nonvoting student
representatives could be
that voice.
"I think the regents
should be concerned
enough to want to hear
what the students have to
say without having to elect
students to the board,"
said sophomore Linda
Hueppc'euser, Lincoln.
