System Avoids Records

When the Committee does
obtain jurisdiction over a case,
"our decision will be honored
by the local authorities," Mr.
King added. This system is
designed to avoid permanent
arrest records for students.
Student Council President Jim
Rinaca said, "it's in the
students' best interests. While
this policy will have no less
meaning, it will have less effect
over one's later life."

Both Mr. King and Mr.
Rinaca urged students to
present their identification
card if stopped by police. By
showing an I.D. and thereby
identifying himself as a
University student subject to
this new policy, a student "has
an opportunity to avoid an
arrest record if his case is
referred to the Judiciary
Committee," Mr. King said.

"We're all very optimistic
that it will be of help to the
students," said Mr. Camblos.
