Police crackdown
by Caryl Mandera
Collegian Staff Writer
As part of a plan to crack
down on parking violations,
campus police have ordered a
resident student to remove his
vehicle from campus property and
surrender his parking sticker. -
Records indicate the action
was taken in response to the
student's repeated violation of
parking regulations. According
to Randy Hoffman, Manager of
Police and Safety, the student
was cited at least nine times for
violations this semester and was
referred to the Student
Disciplinary Board for further
action.
Patricia McClellan, the
department's secretary, reported
similar action is pending in
several other cases. "Some
students don't pay their own
fines," McClellan said. "Tickets
are charged to student accounts
which are often paid by parents.
Revoking the privileges of
habitual offenders is our only
recourse."
The Behrend Bookstore
registered complaints against two
students to campus police.
Records indicate the students
ignored notices from the
bookstore regarding bad checks.
After being notified by campus
police, one of the students paid
his charge. He has been referred
to the Student Disciplinary Board
for further action.
The second case is still being
investigated and action is
pending.
