Collins Puente said she will
petition a second time to receive
six credits for two practicums lor
fall term, but she and ASlfO Pres
ident Kris Bowen decided that in
the meantime the nv^ev should
lie paid back.
"I was no longer comfortable
with her receiving this stipend
while the issues were unre
solved." Bowen said.
Her first petition to the Acad

was turned down with little
explanation, said Collins Puente,
who added that she believed
such petitions generally were
approved.
"There are not a lot of these
petitions." said Registrar Herb
Chereck. "Students most often
have very extraneous situations "
He could not say why Collins
Puente's request was not
approved because lows regarding
student privacy do not allow
such information to lie released
to the public .
Collins Puente is petitioning
on the grounds that she was emo
tionally overwhelmed by a sexu
al assault last Summer and did
not register because she was
unsure whether she was going to

Although she did not attend
any classes, she did have two
practicums that could yield the
six credits needed to rei eive a
