Officials Differ on Student Court Legality

Kansan Staff Writer
Recent actions and decisions by the Student Court and the University of Kansas Ombulsman have raised the question of whether either of these judicial bodies officially
According to University attorney Charles Oldfather, a student court existed for many years to hear traffic ticket
William M. Lucas, associate dean of the School of Architecture and Urban Design and chairman of SenEx, said recently that another of the court's functions is arbitrator in election disputes.
much of the controversy surrounding the student court stems from the reorganization of the University judiciary. In 1945, an Oldfather, when judicial reorganization took place the Student Court was renamed the Parking and Traffic Court to represent the Division of the University Judiciary.

indictary original jurisdiction in all disputes, Lucas said, with two exceptions.
The court ruled that the Parking
and Traffic Court, and faculty and tenure problems, under the jurisdiction of the Faculty Senate and tenure - Tenure and Related Problems.
The question arose as to how the recent election dispute, involving the legitimacy of the candidates of Richard Dwyer, Jr., and Michael J. Jacobey, Lawrence senior, came before the Court Student.
Oldfather explained that during the reorganization, it was anticipated that the Student Court would have a Student Court. It was eliminated as a standing committee, he said, but elsewhere in the Senate Code, a provision that election disputes between the Student Court was retained.
LUCAS SAID this was an unavoidable consequence of a student Court was mentioned the Senate Code, but there was no mechanism for establishing or acquiring it.
The Parking and Traffic Court,
consisting of nine law students,
and two non-students, heard the
power and Jacoby, and
father also said.
Lucas said the Parking and Traffic Court did not actually have jurisdiction over election law. Mr. Brennan told the hearing division of the
Judiciary.
"When it said original jurisdiction on all issues, I think it meant all issues," he said.
Oldfather disagreed slightly. Most everyone agrees that the Senate would be election for body disputes. To the extent that it exists, it exists as a separate institution. But of the Student Senate wants to eliminate it, the world wouldn't change.
BRAID SMOOT, Sterling senior and vice-chairman of senEx, said he was not opposed to either new rules or changes in Student Court. His main concern is to clarify the powers and authority governing bodies, he said.
Smoit said the Student Court was established by an old All Chief Justice. Despite its virtual elimination by the University Senate's reorganization government, the Court recognized by the Student Senate.
This is because of legislation passed by the Student Senate at that time, which retained all ASC statutes not specifically repealed by the Student Senate. Smoot said. The statute called for the student to be repealed, he said.
"OUR INTENT in passing this
The result, Smooth said, is a Student Court which is recognizing the student Senate by the recess of the University, and there is no provision for its establishment despite its mention in the Senate
legislation", Smoo said, "was not for it to bother us three years later, but to provide guidelines in order to the new student government."
"It's kind of silly to have a student court with only one function—to handle election disputes." But the bodies, which provide counsel and that type of thing should be used.
"A left-over Student Court with questionable powers is silly. The students should know which bodies they should go to. If we use the answer cards, they'll be covered in the Kanan, it misleads the students," he said.
DAVID G. MILLER, Eudora senior and student body leader at Kanan College didn't think the failure to ask the Student Senate to eliminate the
He under current statutes he existed provisions for appeals to the court and it was this court under those protections which heard the case.
"I still believe that a student judicial body to hear election disputes is a good thing," Miller said.
"I hope that the Student Senate will legislate to clarify this issue," said Ms. Sweeney, pleased that the Student Senate has repealed most of the old All Student statutes but I am not sure how she would be revised in the near future."
A QUESTION has arisen as to the authorization of the office of KU ombudsman.
Lucas said Sen Ex investigated the matter and found that there was a professor at the office at the University. There is a studentumbusman's office, he buys.
arbitrate disputes between students and faculty over the determination of final grades, Lucas said.
Three options were available for grade determination, use of the credit option or no credit semester, the credit no credit option no completion of the semester.
Lucas said an all-University ombudsman was established in the School of Law, in case any student was accused within the individual schools.
THE FOLLOWING semester, the office of busmanad Law in the Law School gets funding from the Student Senate, but their request was rejected. The office has issued an unofficial capacity, he said.
Ombudsmen were established within each school of the University following the unrest in Spring 1970. Their function was to

its functions are not those of a normal ambusdman, he said, since it provides legal counsel for the court. It is internal University disputes.
"We suggest to people that they use their social security number when you have a new number, because it will never change, wherever you live," and Holzmeister.
Persons who wish to participate in the program may borrow an electric engraving pen from Capitol Federal to engrave their social security card or driver's license, or to purchase a valuable goods. Holmsteier said.
