News Editor A revision of the campus motor vehicle code, effective since July 1, 1975, allows all students with 48 or more credit hours the privilege of parking in college parking lots. Accompanying this revision are other changes designed to provide for stricter enforcement of the regulations. The former appeal process, based on a committee hearing, has been abolished in favor of a more informal and prompt process. In addition, failure to pay fines for violations of the code may lead to prosecution by the district magistrate. Violations judged by the magistrate are subject to court costs and/or imprisonment in addition to the basic fines. According to Carl Nelson, Director of Law Enforcement and Safety, a traffic jfficer has been assigned to the parking areas. An individual is allowed 72 hours, after being issued a citation to either pay or appeal the fine to Nelson or Joseph Nagy, Director of the Student Union. Failure to comply during that period will add a $1.00 surcharge to each violati.n. If the matter is turned over to the magistrate's office. a court cost fee of $11.00 plus the basicfinewill accompany a guilty verdict. Nelson further stated that almost all parking violations are clear cut infractions and appeals to the magistrate are suddenly effective. Joseph Nagy added that strict enforcement of the regulations will be applied equally to students, staff and faculty members. Violators with legitimate excuses are advised to appeal their cases before they go to the magistrate's office. Ignorance of the regularions will not be accepted in any case as a basis' for appeal. page 2 Today's Ediforial RAGLE EYE 29, 1975 Foul Only one real reason exists for the buildings,! professors, and staff members that make up this college -| to provide students an education.
