Emerald Reporter
The room was rather crowded
at the traffic court Wednesday
night and yet, something was
ml8sin.g J. Kelly Farris was ab
sent. In the corner a photographer
slouched inconspicuously.
Two cases were quickly settled.
It seems that the students in
volved had unjustly received tick
ets due to a mixup resulting from
old stickers. The court voted to
dismiss the charges.
Then a young man, who had
received a ticket for parking in
a visitor's space, appeared before
the court. It may be recalled that
Farris originally came before the
court charged with a similar vio
lation. Only this time it seems
the young man was a visitor. His
case was dismissed.
At this point Peter Tugman, re
porter for the Eugene Register
Guard, walked into the room.
Pig Feeder Excused
The next case before the court
involved a student who was
charged with four violations. He
pleaded innocent on the grounds
that he was employed by the Uni
versity to feed the guinea pigs in
the science building, and it was
necessary to park his car in the
Science building drive. The court
considered this a logical excuse
and voided three tickets with the
suggestion that the guinea pig
feeder put a sign on his car stating
"service car.” The student pleaded
guilty to the forth ticket and was
fined one dollar.
The reporter from the Guard
then whispered something to the
photographer about “he isn’t sup
posed to be here until 8:30” and
walked outside to make a phone
call.
The fifth and last case came be
fore the court. The young mti
admitted his guilt and was only
interested in where he could pay
his fine. He was fined one dollar.
The court was about over; the
Guard reporter nervously whis
pered something to the photogra

extortion before the U.S. district
attorney in Portland over Christ
