(Traffic Sit)
This is not an example of fair, just,
and intelligent government ane is a
precedent that should not be followed.
Another flaw in the traffic situation
here is the regulation which establish—
es the Traffic Committee as the board
of Appeal for violations. Good govern—
ment separates the executive, and
judicial branches. Here, however, the
very agency that gives you a ticket,
decides if you deserve it. This is
equal to allowing the state policemen
who arrest you to be the judge who
hears the .evidence and tries the case,
The appeal is not a case of justice,
but rather a case of mercy.
Lastly, to date the Traffic Committee
has no definite regulation setting the
time limit for parking at the top of
the hill, but leaves this 'to the
discretion of the person giving the
ticket'. The chairman of the committee
is quoted above. It is doubted that
such a fantastic policy would weriously
be adopted by anyone ) and it is hoped
we are wrong. This is like saying that
on highway 309, there.is to be no set
speed limit but the speed limit will
be left Ito the discretion of the
person giving the ticket'. You could
get a ticket from one officer for going
twenty mph and not get one from antther
while going seventy mph.
The government is completely subject to
the likes and dislikes of the enforcing
officers and is as completely unaware
of such incidentals as justice and
equality. Tickets have been given to
students who have illegally parked five
minutes and have not been given to
others who have illegally parked fif—
teen minutes.
This is definitely something to think
HA ZLL., TON COLLEGIAN
ANGER...is an acid that can do more harm
to the vessel in which it's stored than
to anything on which it is poured.
