Differential cross sections for 40, 50, and 65 MeV [pi][sup +] and [pi][sup [minus]] inelastic scattering to 1[sup [minus]] excitations in [sup 12]C have been measured and compared to distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA) reaction model predictions. Strengths are presented in terms of sum rules for the 1[sup [minus]] state at 10.84 MeV and for the giant dipole resonance from 18 to 25 MeV. An excitation function at [ital q]=224 MeV/[ital c] for the 1[sup [minus]] state at 10.84 MeV is displayed in the energy range from 50 to 291 MeV showing a non-spin-flip pattern. We find inadequacies in the detailed comparison of the shapes of the data to DWIA calculations using several standard nuclear models.
