Student Court Hears Traffic Ticket Cases
By Dennis Bowers
KU students who call campus policemen unfair and mutter to themselves and others when they find a ticket on their windshields can do more than just mutter.
"Students who get tickets which they think are unfair or a mistake, or students who had a good reason to be illegally parked on the campus, can appear before us and appeal their case," said Richard Smith, Lawrence law student.
When a student receives a ticket he wishes to protest, he should go to the traffic office in Strong Hall and fill out a form which will be given to the Student Court. The Court convenes alternate weeks at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
SMITT SAID THE court is set up primarily to handle parking tickets which students believe are unjust. However, the court also handles any case or complaint concerning violation of ASC laws.
ALL MEMBERS of the court are students in the School of Law, although this is not an ASC ruling, Smith said. The Chief Justice, Dick Jones of Lawrence is elected by the ASC. Other justices are Richard Smith, Lee Woodard, Anthony Marrow, Hermia Kaplan, Charles Wetzler, and David Mills.
Defense attorneys are Robert Luce and Paul Debauge, and prosecuting attorneys are Lynn Anderson, Kenneth McIntyre, and Robert Williams.
He was referring to the KU Student Court, established by the All Student Council. The court consists of seven justices, two defense attorneys, and three prosecuting attorneys.

ambassador program rolling by giving information, counseling and advice to P-t-P.
TO DATE, 140 KU students have signed up for the tour. Some are already taking the series of inoculations necessary to obtain a passport
Colorado University has 135 students signed up. Other Big 8 schools have not yet turned in their lists, but are expected to do so in the near future.
In preparation for the European tour, KU P-t-P has set up a series of programs to prepare students for their student ambassador responsibilities.
THE SECOND in a series of foreign travel orientation programs will be held at 4 o'clock this afternoon in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union. The program includes a movie and a panel discussion about Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
At 2 p.m. Sunday, the first in a series of "America From the Outside" discussion groups will meet in Room 306 of the Kansas Union. This will be a continuation of the orientation programs with smaller groups getting down to specific aspects on cultural, social and political differences American students may encounter during the tour.
Horst Haselmann, Vienna, Austria graduate student, with the help of two or three other international students and one American student, will conduct the forum.
The students will pay their own travel expenses on the tour. The cost of the flight will be a little over $200. The exact figure will not be known until the number of students involved and the airlines furnishing the planes is known.
"It is our hope." Murray said, "that from the brother-to-brother relationship and P-t-P, a nation-to-nation friendship will emerge."

"Students are assumed guilty when they appear concerning parking violations," Smith said. "If they can give some reason, some what we call 'equitable reason' why they were illegally parked, then we usually let the ticket go."
He said the court is an "equity court," which means that there is no right for trial by jury.
SMITH SAID THREE justices sit on each court hearing and act as judge and jury for the hearing. If the student is not satisfied with the decision of the court, he can appeal the decision to a "court en bane" in which all seven judges preside.
"We can recommend disciplinary action—but only recommend it," Smith said. "The Chancellor has the final say on that." The court rarely recommends such action, he added.
Smith said the KU police give University tickets to all parking violations on the campus except for parking by a yellow curbing. For this violation, the campus policeman issues a ticket from the city of Lawrence. This ticket can not be appealed to the Student Court, Smith said.
The next Student Court session will be held Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the courtroom in the basement of Green Hall.
- The use of the "direct primary" rather than uncontested primaries as now used by Vox Populi.

Other planks concern:
Nominees, Platform Announced -
- An increase of funds to the four classes of the University in order to promote "class functions and projects." The party advocated that these funds be divided equally among the four classes of the University.
"The text of the UP platform will be released later this week," said Jim Anderson, Greek co-chairman of UP.
Hardy, independent co-chairman of UP, attacked Action, KU's proposed third political party mentioning alleged fallacies in six of Action's nine potential platform planks.
IN THE PRIMARIES, to be held April 17-18. UP will run more than one candidate in 5 of the 12 races. The candidate receiving the most votes in the primary will be the UP candidate in the general election April 24-25.
- Changes in the freshman orientation program. These changes would be an orientation lecture by the president of the student body on the structure, operation and powers of the ASC; a pamphlet on the same subject to be distributed to all entering students, and a briefing for entering students by the leaders of the various campus organizations on the opportunities which their groups offer.
Hardy said that he did not "think that Action provides the party's prime worry in the coming elections." He said that he found the planks to their platform "very easy to disagree with."
HE SAID THAT in regard to the Action platform on lowering the minimum requirements for representation on the ASC of cooperative houses and professional fraternities the originators were mistaken in their information. He said the ASC rule directs that a group must have 75 votes, or one half of their membership, whichever is the fewer, to get a seat on the ASC rather than the 75 which the Action temporary platform states.
"IF THE ACTION members would attend some ASC meetings," he said, "they would be aware of these issues."
The living district contains only a few more than 100 members. Hardy said, so the number of votes required for representation is about 50, the number to which Action suggests the rule be lowered.
Hardy said that the student seating plan, the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee, and inefficiency in the Kansas Union which Action says need immediate ASC attention have already been discussed in great detail by the council.
He said that it is not the place of the All Student Council to expand its operations to include national and international issues such as the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). The Action proposed platform called for ASC to widen its scope.
Hardy charged that Action is
"being run by people who want to make changes, but who, for the most part, do not have the necessary experience in Hill activities."
After his nomination, Kepner said that UP has made great strides since its birth in the fall of 1900 which culminated in last fall's election as the party took 10 out of a possible 18 seats.
He said that the party should strive to promote more active student participation in All Student Council and Hill activities.
Moore to Lecture

"An interest in student activities can pay you dividends later on!"
Gibson F. Dailey, Asst.to the President George A.Fuller Company
"Extracurricular activities never really interested me... architecture and construction always did. It's a paradox, though, because as it turned out student activities gave me a big jump on my career in construction.
"Studies educated me. But college activities provided the confidence I needed to approach the business world. Looking back, it was these activities that really gave me
my first knowledge of people, administration, leadership.
"Working for the college newspaper, fun magazine, and engineering bulletin taught me writing-a gift I use today in the promotion and getting of new business. Student Council brought the chance to work with other men-a daily occurrence now. Penn's theatrical group and engineering shows helped me relax in front of an audience then-and help me find my voice when I'm talking to large groups now.
"True, today's heavy college curriculum doesn't allow much time for activities. There wasn't much time for them in my day either. I burned a lot of midnight oil on architectural studies, but difficult as they were I still found time for student activities. —I'm mighty happy that I did."
"If you have time during the rest of your years in school to take an interest in activities-do it! It's certain to pay big dividends in an inspiring future in the business of your choice."
