that although only the car owner
was summoned, all five had vol
untarily identified themselves. A
Campus patrolman who had seen
the incident reported it by turn
ing in the license number of the
Car.
Robert Keller,. chairman of
Tribunal, told the five men that
a similar offense would bring a
recommendation from Tribunal of
dismissal from the College. Sudh
penalties do not extend beyond
the current semester, he said. No
further fine was added other than
paying for the light.
In • nine traffic cases Tribunal
levied a total of $8 in fines, sus
pended $3 in fines and
cl issued
warnings to two other drivers.
All of these involved violation of
regulations prohibiting driving or
parking on campus during day
light-hours.
The largest single fine was $4 in
a . case in which the defendent had
been fined $1 for a like offense
earlier in the semester. Fine rates
are graduated on a scale extend
ing from $1 to $lO depending on
the number of offenses.
