Two Cadets Cleared Of Cheating Charge
At West Point two senior cadets were cleared of cheating allegations as officer boards continued to hear 48 junior cadets charged with cheating on a spring take-some exam. Earlier 17 cadets were accused, 65 cleared, four resigned. A separate internal review is probing 98 cases related to a take-home test. General Westmoreland urged against admitting women, calling it an overreaction and predicting curricular dilution.
