By ERIC MEYER
Kansan Staff Writer
Four cases involving illegal drug sales have been dismissed because an undercover agent "apparently used trumped drugs" against Bergen, Douglas County attorney, said Tuesday.
Charges were dropped in the cases of Le Rossiame, Le Brissanime, and Chauzier charged with sale of firearms. Ed Acker,

Student Marks Rising Some KU Deans Say
By ANN McFERREN
Kansan Staff Writer
Student grades in general are on the rise, and honor rolls are expanding at the University of Kansas, according to several deans.
"You only have to look at the increased number of students on the honor roll to know that grades have gone up." Emily Taylor, dean of women, said Friday.
In the fall of 1965, the average grade point for KU students was 2.45, according to Gary Thompson, assistant to the registrar. In 1965, KU was on a 3.0 grading system, but Thompson translated the figure into terms of a 4.0 schedule.
By 1972, the average had risen to 2.93, an increase of 20 per cent, be said.
The School of Engineering is among the schools that have had an increase in the number of students on the honor roll, accreditations and associate dean of the School of Engineering.
Since 1965, the percentage of students on the engineering honor roll has increased from 10 per cent to 22 per cent, he said, and the average grade point average is trade point average to be on the honor roll.
Motzler said he thought students were receiving a better high school background than they had in the district.
Students in the School of Journalism qualify for the honor roll if their grades are in the top 15 per cent of the grades given to students in the school, according to Lee Young, associate dean of the School of Journalism.
The grade point required to be included in the top 15 per capita has risen significantly in the past decade.
However, the tendency for some teachers is to grade easier now than they have in the past. It is more likely that said are, said are more reluctant to give a student an F than to allow late withdrawal from a

Director Says Hilltop Center To Pay Debt
The senate claims that the center overspent its budget allocation by ap- plying for services to 10,000 people.
Bencivengo said that the center was presently struggling to be self-supporting and that it would take a long time to pay the debt.
Any placement of blame would be difficult, she said. In the beginning, the center experienced problems with the Student Senate treasurer, she said, and as a result neither the center nor the senate have accurate books.
She said the problem would be discussed in a Friday morning meeting with the staff.
Don't almost forget.
Judy Bencivengo, director of the Hilpont Day Care Center, said Tuesday that the center planned to pay its debt to the Student Senate and would not request additional

Ambrose Saricke, vice chancellor for academic affairs, presented the awards. He said that during his years as a professor of history, librarians librarians had come to know him.
Although the percentage of students on the School of Business honor roll was down slightly last fall, the decrease was not dramatic. There were more difficult requirements, Nover said.

"I would also like to point out," Berkowitz said, "that Mr. Spotsa was an agent in no fewer than seven cases which resulted in drug convictions on a felony level and of these seven cases, six were by pleas of guilt."

Berkowitz refused to comment about the strength of Spots' testimony in that case.
"Spots apparently feared other charges could be brought against him," Berkowitz said, "if he did not make a certain quota of arrests."
"We must impress on them (undercover agents) that they do not need to trump up their reputation."
Berkowitz commended former county attorney Mike Elwell, now probate judge, for his use of undercover agents but said, "by the use of safeguards we can continue to fight hard drugs and have innocent persons to arrest and long periods of court action."
Berkowitz said he would still prosecute on uncorroborated evidence from an amateur agent, however. There are no agents working directly through his office now, he
