Students have several ways of getting justice if they think a parking ticket issued to them by the Security and Parking Department is unjustified, according to Phil Frickey, chairman of the Parking and Traffic Board.
Frickey said Wednesday that several procedures could be pursued. They are: to appeal directly to the Security and Parking Department; to use the regular appeals process outlined on the ticket; and, if the 14-day appeal limit has been passed, to make a special appeal to the appeals court based on unusual circumstances.
Appell forms are available in the department office in the lobby of Hickman Auditorium.
"If there is an obvious error on the ticket itself, like the wrong date, license tag number or other improperly reported information, the person should go directly to the security and parking staff in Hoch," Frickey said.
If there are special circumstances which a person thinks would excuse the ticket, it should be appealed within 14 days, as outlined on the ticket.
Frickey said there were a number of special circumstances that might justify an appeal, such as an emergency situation, a sudden loss of the car or a car when the ticket was issued or a possible
I.D.s wanted on checks
Continuing his attempt to stiffen prosecution of bad check writers, David Berkwitz, Douglas County attorney, said Wednesday that he was enlisting the cooperation of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and local retailers.
"I've asked local businessmen to require all check writers to provide proper identification on their checks." Berkowitz said, "such as their driver's license number, their height and weight and their social security or student identification number."
This identification is important for provision of no account or insufficient funds.
The additional identification would help speed up prosecution, Danielson said.
The Chamber of Commerce is backing Berkewitz fully, Larry Danielson, manager of Chamber membership and public relations, said.
Berkowitz said he had also asked retailers to refuse restoration from a writer of a bad check after the check had been turned over county attorney's office for prosecution.
He announced last week that the county attorney's office would be cracking down on check violations because of the great increase in the number of bad check cases.
"During the first three months of this year he said, 45 per cent of our cases were due to the flu."
Through an emergency federal job program, the county attorney's office hired Frances Kennedy, Lawrence, as a special investigator of bad check cases.
In the past, the Douglas County Sheriff

Danielson said Berkowitz had spoken to about 50 retailers in the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday night, and had asked to delegate with the county attorney's office.
"He said to turn the checks over to him if restitution was made in time, and he would have it on record."
Retailers are required by law to try to notify a check writer by a mailed notice if a check is returned from a bank as a no account or insufficient funds check. The check must be received within seven days after the retailer's attempt to notify the check writer.

If a visitor to the campus is responsible for a parking ticket, and he is related to a student, staff member or faculty member, security and parking will assign responsibility for the ticket to the member of the University. Frickey said.

"if the visitor who gets the ticket would take care of it immediately, it would be easier for everyone concerned." Frickey said of assisting the ticke to someone else.

Sometimes a person is billed for a ticket and is unaware of the ticket's being issued. In that case, the person can appeal the ticket even after the 14-day appeal limit if he can convince Mike North, chief justice of the court, that he didn't know about the ticket.
"There is currently some backlog in the appeals court," Frickey said, "but this will not affect the outcome of a parking ticket appeal.
"We have to find a balance in determining these procedures," he said. "Some suggestions over the years would have tipped the balance one way or another. We
Frickey said that determining parking ticket handling procedures was a dilemma for the Parking and Traffic Board. He said it could be difficult to determine procedures that would maintain some order.
"I think most cases are cleared up where there is a legitimate grate," Frickey said. "There are ways to find a solution if a person isn't responsible for a ticket."
