Farris on Probation;
No Parking Privileges
The faculty’s student discipline
committee Tuesday put J. Kelly
Farris, third-year law student, on
disciplinary probation and denied
him the use of all University park
ing facilities, both for the balance
of the school year.
While on probation, violation of
University regulations will make
him subject to "appropriate” ac
tion, according to J. M. Foskett,
chairman of the discipline com
mittee. Foskett did not expand
upon what “appropriate” action
would be in Farris’ case.
Case Referred
The committee took its action
because it felt that a student
should not be able to flaunt an
agent of student government and
the University in the manner that
Farris had done, and because his
conduct has meant embarrassment
and injury to the welfare of the
University, Foskett said.
The action was taken by the
committee after the office of stu
dent affairs referred the Farris
case to that group. Farris refused
to pay a fine levied by the student
traffic court on the first charge,
in effect appealing it to the office
of student affairs. On the second
charge, for which he received a
Pub Board Appoints Carter
dick Carter, senior in journal
ism, was appointed business lhana
ger of the Oregon Daily Emerald
by the student publications board
Wednesday night.
Carter, the only petitioner for
the position, was appointed for the
remainder of the 1953-54 school
year, to take over the Emerald
business side beginning Jan. 1,
1954. He is presently advertising
manager of the Emerald, and
worked as an advertising sales
man winter and spring terms of
last year, after transferring here
from Southern Oregon College of
Education.
Carter replaces Bill Brandsness,
junior in journalism, who resigned
the position to accept an advertis

Register-Guard.
notice to pay the fine or be sub
ject to having it deducted from
the breakage fee, he claimed that
the notifce might constitute extor
tion.
Authority Delegated
Since the time of the first tic
ket, Farris has asserted that the
student traffic court and the of
fice of student affairs are violat
ing the law by not providing trial
by jury upon demand, deducting
fines from the breakage fee when
it is not provided for in the Uni
versity bulletin, and by exercising
Comments Given
J. Kelly Farris — said he would
be too busy to have any comment
on the discipline committee’s ac
tion until after final examinations.
J. M. Foskett (besides his basis
for the decision in main story) —
said there is no problem as to vio
lation of constitutional rights in
the operation of the student court.
The actions taken, he said, are ul
timately those of the office of
student affairs or the discipline
committee, which bodies both ac
cept recommendations for dispo
sition of cases, and the functions
are delegated by the faculty.
an authority which was delegated
to the University faculty and can
not be delegated further.
Tuesday the discipline commit
tee felt that only the matter of the
fines and Farris’ conduct in re
gard to them was relevant to his
case, but not that of the court’s
authority, Foskett explained.
After reviewing the case, the
committee called in Farris and
presented him with the violations.
He was asked to make any state
merits he wished, regarding the of
fenses, that he felt were relevant
and that the committee should
know.
Farris Questioned
Farris, following his approach
during the progress of the whole
case, responded in terms of legal
lights, not wishing to make any'
statements on grounds including
constitutional rights, and avoid
ance of triple jeopardy, Foskett
said.
Asked specifically if he had
parked in the places indicated on
the tickets (Johnson hall parking
lot and Gerlinger hall yellow
zone), Farris pleaded not guilty.
This was not an answer to the
question, according to Foskett.
When the question was repeated,
Farris again refused to answer, in
dicating constitutional grounds as
his justification.
When asked if he had any more
to say in his own behalf, Farri®
said he did not.
Court Supported
Explaining the nature of the dis
cipline committee’s function, Fos
kett said the discipline function of
the University is in the hands of
the faculty. The power has been
delegated to the committee, which
acts as a policy-forming agent.
Certain of the committee’s func
tions have been further delegate^
to the office of student affaire,
which can refer cases to the com
mittee if it wishes.' The student
traffic court has been delegated
the power to act as an agent of
the office of student affairs in
matters of student parking.
Foskett emphasized that the.
student traffic court has the full
support of the committee as to the
authority to act in these matters.
