Leo Linbeck, chair for the commission, said although he's anxious to complete the work, extending the investigation deadline is necessary in order to efficiently make a final conclusion. "I suspecf we could jump to conclusions today and not be certain about the validity of those conclusions and satisfy the people who desire a quick answer," he said. "But the larger issue is how can we be thorough enough in order to assure that the outcome is one based on fact and cruth rather than speculation and hypothesis."

THE DAILY NORTHWESTERN Wire Investigators of the Texas bonfire collapse said Tuesday they will need more time and money to complete the investigation, which was originally scheduled to conclude on March 31. Although investigators didn't specify by how much they will exceed their $1 million budget, the Bonfire Commission plans to ask the university for the funds next Tuesday. Jon Zagrodzky, a consultant with McKinsey a management and consulting firm providing the commission with pro bono assistance, said because the nature of the investigation and research is so complex, future work is difficult to plan, and findings may extend schedules and budgets.

"Basically, anytime you find that there is a lead, you have to follow up at this time we can't be pre In the arena of academic dishonesty, colleges and universities nationwide arc facing a discrepancy between policy and practice. Half of all college students admitted to having cheated at least once during their undergraduate careers, according to a recent survey conducted by Ball State University in Muncic, Ind. At Ball State and at other schools, cheating occurs despite outlined academic integrity policies. To address the issue, Pennsylvania State University is designing a new academic integrity policy. "We had a long-standing policy that was very elaborate," said John Cahir, vice provost and dean for undergraduate education at Perm State.

"We became dissatisfied with it because we detected widespread sentiment that it was too complex and bureaucratic."

President Adam Steckel was there from the beginning as founding president and. helps other groups across the country become affiliated with Delta Lambda Phi.

The State College chapter has 14 active members and several pledges who plan to keep themselves entertained this spring with events like ice skating, bowling, laser tag and, of course, partying. In most aspects, Delta Lambda Phi is similar to any other fraternity on campus, Steckel said. "We pretty much behave like a 'traditional' fraternity," he said. "We're no different than other fraternities, other than our sexual orientation." However, Steckel said, most men who are interested in joining Delta Lambda Phi are not rushing other fraternities, and vice versa. "For the most part, we're not competing with other fraternities for members." THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Wire A group of fraternity members gather together, hang out and watch TV on a Sunday afternoon.

As they talk and laugh, a faint smell of alcohol from the last night's party lingers in the living room. This scene is no different from the average fraternity, except for one thing: This is Delta Lambda Phi, the only fraternity at Pennsylvania Slate University created by gay men for ah men. "We're not a gay fraternity, but a fraternity that doesn't discriminate based on sexuality," said a Delta Lambda Phi officer, who asked to be identified as Martin. Delta Lambda Phi is a national social fraternity with more than 20 chapters and colonies nationwide. Founded in October 1986 in Washington, D.C., for gay, bisexual and progressive men, the national fraternity has a slogan of "What oihers hide in shame, we boldly embrace with pride." However, this dees not mean that all members have to be open about their sexuality.
