Court Hears
Traffic Cases
Of Students
Traffic Court is a court of ap
peals composed of eight students,
appointed by the All-University
president, who hear and decide
upon cases involving student traf
fic violations.
Students who receive traffic
tickets and who don't feel that
their fine is justified, may appeal
their case to the traffic court.
Once before the court, the student
may plead "guilty," "not guilty,"
or "guilty under extenuating cir
cumstances." Most appeals fall
under the last category. "Extenu
ating circumstances" means the
student feels there had been rea
son for the violation and that the
fine should not be imposed.
Decision Follows
After the student has presented
his case, the court decides whe
ther or not the fine shall be re
tained.
Failure to register a motor ye
hide, unless it is to be operated
in State College for less than a
three week period, will result in a
$2 fine.
Persons receiving tickets must
report to the Campus Patrol office
in Old Main with the ticket with
in one day of the violation or they
will be fined an additional $l.
Failure to pay a fine will result
in action by the dean of men,
which could result in having the
car sent home.
Five Fines Exist
The fine for a first violation is
A second violation will result
lin a $3 fine and for a third viola
; tion, a $5 fine with probation by
'the traffic court. For a fourth
violation there will be a $lO fine
and a suspension of the student's
driving privilege on campus for
60 days. Any student incurring a
fifth violation will have his car
sent home for a period of 16 weeks.
The traffic court meets weekly
in the Board Room in Old Main.
Fifty per cent of the fines col
lected are placed in a fund for the
construction of student parking
areas.
