Show KENT LINEBAUGHchief justice, Student CourtCOURT ASKS SENATE TO ACT ON ID CARD RULINGSVice president Boh Wright questions one of the many ID card offenders, two-thirds of whom were released without fines.COURT JUSTICES ~ Left to Right: Bud Billetcr. Rosemary Isom, Cathy Peterson, Stuart Dye.This year s Stud ent Court began proceeding with a rigorous selr-examination. The few weeks of fall quarter were spent in revising court rules and time limits, to enable the defendants to be better acquainted with court policy. The justices evaluated their position in relation to the Senate, discovering that they were helpless in executing laws until the Senate wrote them into legal statutes. For weeks, the Court was unable to pass judgment on ID card violations because there was no written law, neither on the ID card nor the Senate records, which stated, ID cards are not transferable. In cooperation with the Senate, the Court established this and other well-known but unwritten rules as legal statutes.This year, too, the Court saw the first widespread practice of a working board of student defenders. Law students offered their services as defense attorneys for the accused. The Court dealt with all election and ID card violations and all cases against the Chronicle and Constitution. |
