	Enough professors now (like try to find one who hasn't!) have stated
  that they feel their courses and the books that they use have degenerated,
  and they attribute this degeneration to their students.  So what's really
  happening here?  Are all the professors wrong?  Do the professors expect too
  much of us today?  Or is it really the students?  And if it IS the students,
  what's happened?  Is it a loss of motivation (, and just what are we
  motivated to do these days)?  I think this is a VERY important issue which
  needs to be addressed, and maybe solved?

	Now listen, DON'T flame me because of the questions!  This is the
  beginning of a discussion.  I'm not giving any answers here, but rather I'm
  pulling out some questions.  The end-goal for all of us is to determine
  what happened to our academic integrity.
