ASUO Vice President Ben Buzbee pleaded guilty on Wednesday, after his offense of
furnishing alcohol to minors had been reduced to a violation.
Charge
continued from page 1
all of the evidence. Buzbee said he
was very tempted to keep fighting
the charge against him, but he
didn’t want a legal hassle hanging
over his head as the school year
came to a close.
“I was really struggling with
whether to fight it or not,” he said.
Besides receiving a citation for
furnishing alcohol to minors,
Buzbee also landed in hot water
when police confiscated three kegs
from his house while breaking up
the party. He pleaded guilty to false
swearing Feb. 27 in a Lane County
court and completed a diversion
program for that charge.
Buzbee said that he realizes that
some people may draw an unfavor
able picture of him in light of his vi
olations, but he argues that he
hosted a responsible party and took
precautions to ensure that events
did not get dangerous. According to
Buzbee, the party had been over
for more than an hour by the time
the police arrived, and only about
15 people were still there.
“This was not a party that got
busted because it was out of con
trol,” he said.

Comic
Buzbee’s legal trouble has been
the subject of intense scrutiny be
cause of his leadership position in
the ASUO and his affiliation with
the fraternity Delta Sigma Phi, es
pecially because the officers who
broke up the party said they saw
people in togas. However, Buzbee
said the party was not a greek func
tion — he simply threw a party
with a toga theme.
While he said he realizes it could
seem irresponsible to mix a fraterni
ty guy, people wearing togas and
beer kegs together, Buzbee said he
took precautions to keep people
safe. In fact, he said giving the party
a toga theme actually safeguards
against having uninvited people
show up. He also said having kegs
was the safest way to have alcohol at
the party because they were sealed
and couldn’t be tampered with.
Despite all the legal hoopla he’s
had to go through, Buzbee said he
learned a lot from his experience
and hopes that students become
more aware of their rights. But in
the end, Buzbee said his decision to
host the party and give alcohol to
minors “was definitely not worth it.”
