Board lists punishments for users of fake passes
By CAITLIN GOODWIN Staff Reporter

The Student Senate Transportation Board recommended four measures yesterday that could be taken against seven students who caught last week using forks bus passes.
The first recommendation was that the students pay a line from $23, the price of a bus pass, to $35, which is $1 a day for the first seven weeks of school.
"We figure that a student rides the bus four times a day," McMurry said, "and if he were paying a quarter a ride he would pay $1 a day."
Steve McMurray, director of the KU on Wheels program, said the board sent the recommendations to Caryl Smith, dean of the university's law department, to punish the students of the offender boys.
He also recommended that the students' enrollment records be held until they paid the fine.
The board's fourth recommendation was that the University put the students on disruptions.
"We could have gone anywhere from making them pay $23 for a bus pass to kicking them out of school, "McMurry said. "We need the middle ground and still lean to the severe."
The third proposal for punishment was that the students be prohibited from purchasing a bus pass for this semester and the next two semesters.
McMurry said this meant the office of student life would monitor the students' actions. If they committed any other violation, the University would then take strong action against the students. McMurry said that the hand of action the administration would take
Smith said she would not say how she would punish the students because of the Buckley Amendment, which says that violators' names may not be released.
McMurry filed a report with the KU Police Department last week stating that fake bus passes were being made and sold. He said one of the students who had been caught said he had bought his pass from someone else.
Detective Sgt. Paul Schultz of the KU Police Department said that he had not finished the investigation, but that he had some leads into the case.
"I've talked to some people, and there are still some things I want to check," he said. Schultz told two other students were caught using a piece of pink paper as a bus pass.

McMurray said he wanted everyone involved in the forgery to be caught and punished.
"I would not call them forged passes, though," he said, "because they were just pieces of paper. They were just snaking on the bus as opposed to forging a pass."
To prevent future forgeryes, he said, the board would redesign th* passes so that they would be more difficult to copy. However, he said, the cost of the design would make it difficult to have a pass that could never be copied.
"I just hope they understand what a terrible thing they did against the other students."

McMurry said the board would discuss the situation with Smith to determine what procedures would be taken against bus pass forgers in the future.
