Speaker 3 (01:49):
Okay, see that we got some problems here that the
professor there is actually insinuating that you may have cheated
on this, on this essay that you've actually read cheating it. No,
I mean from what from what he's telling us here
at Student Affairs is that you may have plagiarized some
things that, uh, that were in your essay.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Dude, No, I didn't. I didn't plagiarize something that was
in the essay. Everything is documented like it should be,
So I don't know what you're talking about, especially cheating
on no exam, on no paper, nothing like that. You
must got be mixed up with somebody else.

No, no, no, not at all. You're actually mister Travan correct.

on no papers for that matters.

up to speed here, servann. What we're gonna need is,
we're gonna need you to actually come in and talk
to us over here at student affairs so we can
try to get this thing rectified. But I will let
