I'm a graduate student and I have a bit of a problem
with my advisor.  He gave me some papers to referee,
and these papers were submitted to a conference to
which I have also submitted a paper. The problem is
that these papers are very similar to the paper which
I submitted, and so they will be competing directly 
against my paper. I told him that I could not act as 
an impartial reviewer, and I asked to have someone else
review the papers, but he refused.  (He is also the
conference co-chairman).  He said that it was perfectly
acceptable for me to review the papers, but I don't believe 
him.  What do I do?  I was thinking of refusing to review
the papers by not submitting a report, and just let the
deadline slip.  Please respond by posting because this 
site does not have secure e-mail.
