COURT Ours is one of the few student courts in the area and is the most active and highly organized, it is no coincidence that such privileges as open campus and wide pow- ers of the court are virtually unique at Paly. Criminal cases lviolations of Student Body Lawl make up the maiority of Court business. Such cases, usually the result of a citation issued by a Board of Welfare Officer, include such offenses as reckless driving and smoking on campus. The ac- cused may receive a trial if he can produce enough evidence to warrant one, otherwise he is sentenced. Sentences range from a severe warning or an hour of work to a recommended five day suspension. The Court was very progressive this year, The attorneys were announced in mid-November and a Bar Association was formed and became quite active in Student Government, Suggested possible solutions to traffic and smoking problems resulted in the passing of many new bills. If the Court deserves to be called successful, two rea- sons are Mr. l-lenry Martin, the Court Advi- sor, and Mr. Emery Christensen, who backed up the recommendations of the C t. our Bob Famulener Chief Justice The Court is made up of five iusticesi the Chief Justice and four Associate Justices. Each Associate Justice is responsible for a certain area of work, such as sending out summons or making out dockets. The Chief Justice presides over all Court sessions. All Justices have an equal vote in making decisions. Serving with Chief Justice Bob Famulener were Dick Strubbe, Lindo Dairiki, Richard Bennion, and Tom Hunts- berger. Winston Landes served as Court Bailiff. The Court also owes much thanks to Betsy Burnes and Stephanie Dailey, the Court Secretaries.
