Harsher Penalties

However, penalties for illegal
cars have been made much more
harsh than they were under the
old system. James Brashares,
chairman of the Traffic Control
Committee of the student Council
explained that "Under this
new plan, which is quite liberal,
there is simply no excuse for an
illegal car."

For the first offense, those
possessing illegal cars would lose
motor vehicle privileges for the
remainder of their undergraduate
years.

The second time a person is
caught with an illegal car he may
be suspended for one year from
the University.

The schedule of parking violations
will be the same as under
the present system.

The administration cannot put
this plan into effect. The Board
of Visitors must approve it and
the approval of the Student
Council was sought to facilitate
their approval.
