Court Sanctions Two In Plagiarism Cases Ily 4A«I THOMPSON StalT Writer Student Court Kunctioned two students for plagiarism, and up held a Student Truffle Court sanc tion in three unconnected cases Thursday. The Court also elected a new chuirman, Robert 1,. Mil ler, a second year law student. In the first case a freshman, who will he 21 in May, was charged with violating Section lit 2a of the Student Conduct Code in that parts of a term paper he submitted in Writing 122 last term were plagiarized from a hook. He pleaded guilty to the charge, then apologized to the Court and the University for his conduct. His counsel stated their faitli in tin- defendant and pointed out he has had no previous Code vio lations. The Court sanctioned him to disciplinary probation until the end of next full term, and re quired that he rewrite the paper to the satisfaction of his instruc tor The second case was a closed hearing. The violation was tin same, that the defendant had plagiarized in a psychology lab term paper by using parts of an other student's pa|H»r The de fendant, a sophomore, pleaded guilty and was placed on disci plinary probation until the end of next fall term The ttiird case was an appeal on a sanction imposed by Traffic Court. The Court found th<- de fendant guilty and upheld the decision of Traffic Court The defendant, a junior, had been charged with violation of Permits Section 5 of University parking regulations, in that his car displayed a stalT parking sticker to which he was not c-n titled. He had also been delin fluent in paying for three cita lions for parking after hours at Cate ft of Hayward Field, a stu dent parking area. Three eita lions, live during fall term, are enough to classify a person as being "habitual ” Hu wan flncd $10 for fuiling to I pay the three $2 citations. He | petitioned to have his case re i viewed in Traffic Court to protest the $10 fine. (This is a function I of Traffic Court, to allow a stu dent to appeal for a waiver of a ! fine or punishment he feels is | unjust.) His petition was accepted, but as a result of the hearing, not only did he still have the $10 fine to pay, but he was also sanc tioned by Traffic Court. He was placed on disciplinary probation for the remainder of this term, and his driving privileges were revoked until May 15, for misuse of the staff parking sticker. The main point of counsel was that Traffic Court had overstepped its authority in imposing a sane 1 lion in addition to the $10 fine. They also questioned if Section 5 tiad really been violated as was charged, since it couldn’t be prov ed that the defendant had put the staff sticker on his car or had taken advantage of it and parked where students' cars aren't al lowed. Counsel felt if the defendant had paid the $2 tickets, anil not decided to use his right to peti tion to Traffic Court to have the fine removed, he would never have been sanctioned. They felt Traffic Court was wrong in im posing a sanction as well as keep ing the $10 fine, which they said “tripled” the punishment. This defeats the purpose of Traffic Court as a place for students to petition for line waivers, counsel said If Traffic Court imposes worse punishment on students who petition to it, no student will want to petition, even though it is his right to do so They didn’t question the $10 fine for the parking violations, but did question the additional punishment, and the right of Traf fic Court to impose a sanction for a Section 5 offense, if the offense had really been committed.

Solve Problem of Apathy They said their proposal for student political parties would solve the problem of student apathy, which Hansell said has been an issue “since I have been on the campus.” They proposed dividing the up perclass dormitories, Greek hous es, and co-ops into two political parties arbitrarily. Freshman dor mitory residents and off campus students would be allowed to choose their party Donahue said the parties would start with “blank ideologies” and would de velop ideologies later. Several students in the crowd of 70, including present ASUO President Steve Goldschmidt, ask ed why it wouldn't be better to start with ideologies. Donahue argued that the par ties would develop ideologies but that was not the way to start. "If you do it that way, you’d just have the Greeks against the oil-campus students that you have now," Donahue said. Qualified for Position Both candidates also cited their experience. Donahue admitted that Mansell's opponent, Senate Public Adairs Committee Chair man Henry Drummonds, was "one of the finest legislators we have ever had on this campus,” but he argued that Mansell's exec utive experience as junior class president and in other offices made him better qualified for an executive position, such as stu dent body president. "The abilities required of those offices are the same as for stu dent body president," Donahue said. Hansell and Donahue said they planned to return to the Free Speech Platform later to discuss other aspects of their platform, including lobbying with the leg islature, an oir campus opportu nity program, and others. Drummonds said Thursday that his challenge Wednesday to Man sell and John Itessler, the other presidential candidate, was for a debate at the Free Speech Plat form, not on Private Line Three. Mansell replied Wednesday that the challenge was "meaningless,'' since PL-3 was already setting up a debate. That debate is planned for May 6, after the primary election.
