This is the second in a series by
Lee Roy Leschper investigating the
activities of the A&M University

The A&M campus is generally a
peaceful place. The University
Police would like to keep it that
way.
Of 99 non-traffic violations during
September, over half were for mis

BUYING PAGES IN
THE AGGIELAND 76
FOR
ORGANIZATIONS
AND CLUBS
In an attempt to set precedent concerning the conflict
of recognized versus unrecognized organizations and
clubs, The Aggieland ’76 is requiring organizations and
clubs desiring to be represented in the book BE RECOG
NIZED BY THE UNIVERSITY.
Even if an unrecognized organization or club has
bought pages in past Aggielands, if they want to be in
cluded this year the organization or club must go through
the recognition procedures established by the university.
An organization or club wanting to become recog
nized can do so at the Student Programs Office, second
floor of the MSC.
The Aggieland will accept no organization or club for
contracting space after Nov. 10, 1975.
All previously recognized organizations and clubs
plus those applying for recognition have until Nov. 10 to
contract space. After Nov. 10 there will be no further space
sold in the book and no exceptions will be made.
If any questions develop call Student Publications at
845-2611, ask for Debbie Stallings or Gary Baldasari.
ranged from abusive phone calls and
vandalism, to drug violations.
Drug abuse on campus has been a
concern for some time, but “up to
this point it’s been no big problem,”
University Police Chief O. L.
Luther said.
“Of course maybe some think that
any . . . 3, or 6 or 10. . . involved in
that sort of thing would constitute a
problem. But in my opinion, that’s
not enough to constitute a major
problem,” he said.
Luther said he had initiated a pol
icy in early October under which a
patrolman may release with only a
warning a first-time offender found
in possession of a small quantity of
marijuana.
“I can’t see . . . where some kid
that has a roach or one marijuana
cigarette (and) isn’t pushing it or giv
ing it to his friends . . . hauling him
off to court and charging him with a
violation.”
A student only receives one such
warning and if found in possession
again is automatically charged.
The University Police does no
undercover investigation into any
violations on campus. The Depart
ment of Public Safety occasionally
does make drug-related undercover
investigations on campus.
Most information concerning
drug violations comes from “con
cerned students, Luther said. The
Residence Hall Association assists
with information concerning in
dorm violations, but usually only in
the case of repeat offenders.
Other crimes nonwithstanding,
most violations involving the UP
concern traffic control. The force is
sues two to three hundred traffic
tickets per day, Luther estimated.
When issuing a traffic ticket for a
violation on campus, a university
patrolman has the option of issuing
either a university traffic violation
notice or a local Justice of the Peace
court ticket. A university ticket may
be appealed while a JP ticket re
quires the recipient to appear in
local JP court.
Patrolmen issue about three JP
tickets per month. Normally a pat
rolman will issue a JP ticket only if a
violator is insulting or tries to cause
trouble, or refuses to take the uni
versity ticket, a UP source said.
A student or faculty member feel
ing he has been unduly ticketed
may appeal a traffic violation to the
Traffic Appeals Panel. The seven-
student, five-staff mamber panel
hears approximately 37 appeals at
each weekly meeting. Of 148 appe
als heard so far this year, 61 (41.2 %)
have been upheld, said Student
Services Administrative Officer
Robert Melcher.
Traffic violation fees collected
and deposited in the University
Parking Facilities Account during
the month of September totaled
$19,715.50. This included $17,569
for parking violations, $657.50 for
moving violations, and $1,489 for
other penalties. The Parking
Facilities Account is depository for
all university traffic violation and
vehicle registration fees.
