2—The Daily Collegian Friday, Feb. 7, 1986 Students should learn parking rules, By MARIA QUICI Collegian Staff Writer Last year Univeristy Police Serv ices issued about 15,500 parking tick ets on campus, not because of a lack of parking space but because drivers are unaware of the parking regula tions, said the manager of University parking. Allan. A. Derzak said University police issued about 13,000 tickets to students with registered cars. Anoth er 2,500 additional tickets are given out each year for cars not registered with the University. Most of those are to students, he said. Anyone wanting to park a car on campus must register it at the Uni versity Parking Office, 125 Grange Building, for a fee, Derzak said. Driv ers receive a color-coded. .sticker, which corresponds to the parking area to which they are assigned. collegian notes • The Newman Student Associa tion will hold a pizza party after 5:05 mass today in the Memorial Lounge of Eisenhower Chapel. • The Krishna Yoga Society will present a Bhakti Yoga/Bhagavad- Gita class and vegetarian feast at 6 tonight at 103 E.

Derzak said 90 percent of the viola tions are the result of students park ing in faculty and staff lots. "When you get student violators, they are preventing employees from park ing," he said. The large number of tickets is not because of a lack of parking on cam pus, Derzak said, but because stu dents feel existing parking lots are inconvenient. "I think (the ticket amount) is abnormally high but that's what is expected," he said, adding "many students are taking advantage and trying to beat the system." If a car isn't registered, whether it belongs to a student, faculty member, or a visitor, a $2O ticket is given to the violator. Derzak said sometimes first warn ings are given instead of administra tive tickets depending on the circumstances. • Deadline for applications for the Interfraternity Council's 1986 Dance Marathon is 4:30 today in 310 HUB. • The Campus Crusade for Christ will meet at 6 tonight in 102 Cham bers. • • The Caribbean Students' Asso ciation will meet at 6:30 . tonight in 103 J Paul Robeson Cultural Center. • The Air Force Drill Team will meet at 7 tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday in 121 Sparks.

Traffic court for students meets every Mon day and Wednesday at 6 p.m. in 227 HUB. Students must sign up in ad vance. While the board approves some appeals, students often are told the violation was explained in the park ing regulations they received when they bought a sticker, Holmes said. "We give them the rules and regu lations and say 'please read them' but they don't," he said. If payment for a violation is not received in 30 days, ' a $2 penalty is added to each parking ticket and a student could possibly be put on a registration or diploma hold. Stu dents who receive more than five parking tickets during a semester can be referred to the Office of Stu dent Conduct, which deals with stu dent discipline problems.

Students ordinarily are able to park in faculty/staff parking lots after 5 p.m. But when snow falls signs are posted stating that the lots should be empty between midnight and 7 a.m. so they can be plowed. "Winter parking is probably our biggest headache," he said. Holmes explained that if students don't abide by the regulations it is difficult for the plows to clear the lots. Ticket costs for registered cars range from $5 to $l5. Derzak said the money collected from student viola tions is put into the Student Ticketing Account and is used for the Associa tion of Student Activities. David Neal (junior-division of un dergraduate studies) said, "if you park downtown, you get a $2 parking ticket at a meter, yet if you park on campus without a sticker, you have to pay $2O for a ticket." He added, "parking should be automatically free . . . it's ridiculous to have to pay for parking on top of tuition." Sandy Scott (senior-psychology) said, "I don't think there should be any restrictions on Friday night, all of Saturday and Sunday on campus for students." Scott said she was infuriated to receive a ticket on a Sunday night. 00000 featured 00000 h in DT .

Dick Thornburgh has proposed amendments to increase penalties for violent juvenile offenders, but University experts said the proposals are unnecessary. The governor's proposal, part of his anti-crime program, is directed at chronic delinquents and the perpetrators of heinous crimes such as homicide, rape and robbery, said Terry Williamson, Thornburgh's deputy press secretary. The proposal includes the institution of a "dangerous juvenile offender" category made up of juvenile delin quents 15 years or older who have been involved in two violent crimes, one crime committed before their 12th birthday, Williamson said. Under the amendments, the burden of proof would shift from the prosecution to the potentially dangerous juvenile offender, he said. The juvenile then must prove a chance exists for rehabilitation in the juvenile justice system. If the juvenile fails to prove burden, he would be tried as an adult in criminal justice court. Thornburgh Also proposed a statewide registry of photographs, fingerprints and criminal histories of chronic offenders by the Pennsylvania State. Police, Williamson said. Existing law does not require this. While Thornburgh considers the crime prevention campaign top priority, some believe the proposed amendments are too severe. Daniel Katkin, head of the University's administra tion of justice department, said the number of violent juveniles is relatively small and the existing system has the capabilities to deal with it. "I think that the juvenile justice system should have c Yay, 3 Love Yu': This _February 14.. With a card from American Greetings contemporary, traditional, or humorous, we have them all.

"Therefore to call these children criminals and try them in the criminal justice system is a mistake." Bruce Bullington, associate professor of criminal justice, agrees with Katkin. "I think that the proposed legislation is ridiculous. The provision of waiver already exists for serious juvenile offenders," Bullington said. The provision of waiver allows a judge to use his discretion to waive a juvenile's rights and try him as an adult in the criminal justice system if he deems necessary, he said. However, to use the waiver provision involves much work for the prosecution, said Mark Smith, a lawyer in the district attorney's office who is in charge of juvenile offenders. "We have to go through a certification process to show prior records, and prior supervision as well as what effect future supervision will have on the juve nile. All this information must be brought into the hearing," Smith said. "I think that Gov. Thornburgh's policy concerning the dangerous juvenile category would help the district attorney's office immensely. An adult system is better equipped to help a chronic offender," he said. The usual disposition of the state concerning juvenile offense is not to punish at all. However, in some cases the offenders will be placed in the state Youth Devel opment Centeis if the court feels that institutionaliza tion is necessary, he said.
