Hello All, I head up a Poetry Festival here in Cali, and at our Middle School night last night, we saw a poem from a student at another school that we know was plagiarized. I have already found the first two stanzas on the net, and that's probably all we need, but one of the members of our English Department remembers reading it in MAD some while ago. I have written to DC comics, but I don't expect a swift reply. The problem is that the Poetry Festival was last night, and although we confronted the student before he went on, we had no proof; he swore up and down that it was his; he even prefaced his poem with "My Original poem that I made up all my myself" - his arrogance was appalling. The other school has asked my help to locate the original, so we began investigating today. Do any of you have MAD archives that could be checked. Please respond privately. As always, many thanks in advance, Tom Rompf *************************************************** Thomas David Rompf Head of Information Services Colegio Bolivar Apartado Aereo 26300 Cali, Valle, Colombia South America Home: +57-2-330-2381 Work: +57-2-555-2039 Fax: +57-2-555-2041 / USFax (810) 277-0487 Cell: +57-3-560-0064 Email: tom@rompf.org / trompf@colegiobolivar.edu.co / tomrompf@hotmail.com Colegio Bolivar Library Web Page: http//www.rompf.org or http://www.uniweb.net.co/bolivar/library Colegio Bolivar School Page: http://www.colegiobolivar.edu.co *************************************************** =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
