By Vicki Koon Look inside the doorway and you will see blue and yellow beanbags stacked against one wall; a receptionist wedged between colors, smiling and eager to assist; on the wall, an uneven dual highway of green and yellow, which if you follow will lead you to a door covered with outrageous postcards and the largest geranium you will probably ever see.

So it is with the Student Court. The Student Court, judicial arm of the SGA, underwent a total change of personnel in October 1986. Under the direction of Chief Justice Todd Hammaker, the eight member court dealt with a large backlog of cases from Spring 1986. "We did a lot of work and put in long hours to catch up," said Hammaker. Presently, the court caseload deals primarily with traffic violations. Any student who receives a parking ticket has the option of filing an appeal form in Police Services. The appeal is forwarded to the Student Court. If the student wishes to appear in person, he is notified when his case will be reviewed. When the court has reached a decision, Police Services is informed whether the party is liable to pay the fine or has been exonerated. The decision is binding though a student has an option to reappeal under certain circumstances. Though traffic cases Academic Integrity (from p. 4) Although South main tains that the underlying as sumption of the polity of academic integrity is that students are honest, he says that the initial responsibility of upholding the policy is the instructors'. Because the char acteristics of individual courses differ, South encourages instruc tors to clarify, early in the semester, the policy's appli cations to their courses. He advises students first I • yl i •(} jVLj make up the bulk of the cases, Hammaker would like to try to expand the areas of responsibilities of the court. "I'd like to see the court get more recognition and authority in serving the university," said Hammaker.

A major goal of the court this year has been the rewriting of the SGA constitution. In addition, the Student Court constitituion will be redefined to comply with the new SGA constitituion. « Even though no specific practical background is need to be a justice, the present justices are primarily public policy or criminal justice majors. "All the justices have had some work with constitutions, and many served on hearing boards at previous campuses," said Hammaker. Anyone interested in bneing a justice for the 1987- 88 school year must file an application by the beginning of Fall semester. to have a clear commitment to learn, and, second, to understand the tenets of academic integrity. "If those two things were to happen, then there'd be no need for any concern with academic integrity-other than the pre sumption that it exists," South says. Finally, he reminds, "People, you are choosing to join this community. In so doing, you're making a conscious decision to accept the rules of this or ganization and to abide by them." z s Page 9
