KU parking fines may be illegal-
Continued from page 1

The now-voided Arizona statu-
ute reads:
"The Board of Regents shall have the authority to adopt rules
and regulations for the control of traffic and the parking of vehicles on the property of the institution under its jurisdiction and the imposition and collection of parking
Hazing in Greek houses is outlawed at IFC meeting
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) Wednesday night outlawed hazing in KU's Greek houses, ending several weeks of debate.
The decision actually was an amendment retracting an amendment. The original IFC decision accepted the National Interfraternity Council policy on hazing, which requests that there be none.
Wednesday night's motion read:
The IFC Judiciary Council will rule on all violations and retains its power to fine violators up to $500 and to place chapter houses guilty of hazing on probation.
Last night's decision came at an IFC meeting in the Kansas Union Centennial Room.
"No form of hazing whatsoever will take place."
P-Corps workers here April 15 to 19
The annual spring Peace Corps Week at KU will be April 15-19, Clark Coan, dean of foreign students, said Wednesday.
Representatives from the San Francisco regional office of the Corps will be here to interview
students, talk in classes and organized living groups, show films and administer Peace Corps entrance tests.
The visitation team's office will be in the Kansas Union.
Iranians will celebrate new year
fees and reasonable penalties for unauthorized parking."
A new year's party March 23 in honor of the Persian new year is being planned by KU's Iranian Student Organization.
The first day of spring marks the start of the Persian year, according to Moe Behravesh, Tehran, Iran, senior and president of the organization. The new year will be 1347 on the Persian calendar.
The KU organization will invite students from nearby schools including K-State, Oklahoma, Missouri and Nebraska, Behravesh said. About 150 students are expected to attend.
The new year's party will be at the Muehlebach Hotel in Kansas City, Behravesh said. There will be a banquet followed by a dance.
The Arizona statute was invalid, Judge Howard said this morning, because the statute calls violations of the parking rules a misdemeanor—and only legal courts have authority over misdemeans.
The Kansas statute has the same misdemeanor provision.
At Arizona, students have taken advantage of the ruling to park on sidewalks, in no-parking zones, and even on the lawns. University police still give university tickets, the editor of the AU student newspaper said, but has not yet begun giving city tickets because the university "doesn't want to give up the power over the students."
KU apparently would be faced with the same situation if the Kansas law were to be struck down, although the law does give the University the right to allow city police to enforce traffic rules on University property.
The Arizona state attorney who defended the statute argued that the Board of Regents needed the authority to control the conduct of the students—where they sleep, where they eat and where they park.
"It would be absurd to take students to a legal court when they could be tried, if they appealed, in a student court," the lawyer said.
"It is never absurd to follow the United States Constitution," the judge retorted, saying the university's system violated the principle of due process.
If the Kansas statute were to be ruled invalid, KU could lose as much as $50,000 in fine collections. KU students paid $24,799.50
in fines from July 1, 1967, to Jan. 31, and the faculty paid an additional $1,195.
Money collected from the fines and from the $10 zone parking permits and visitor parking fees and football and basketball games goes to build parking lots. The Kansas Legislature does not appropriate money for parking lots, Lawton said.
