From Traffic Court
by JoeySherr
The Judicial Board met last
Sunday to hear five appeals of
decisions made recently by
the Traffic Court.
All five people had been
bought up before the Traffic
Court because of numerous
tickets for parking in the
cafeteria parking lot below
Mecklenburg Dorm. Their
initial hearing was set for
November 20, but was post
poned since the Traffic Court
lacked a quorum. The next
hearing was later set up for
November 30; however, none
of the five defendants at
tended this hearing. The
Traffic Court then decided to
revoke campus parking
privueges until the end of
Winter Term for all five
people.
The defendants each ap
pealed to the Judicial Board
on the grounds of unfair
judicial proceedings and an
excessive sentence. The
Judicial Board decided to give
four of the five defendants
until Monday, December 18 to
pay their ticket fines. The fifth
defendant had received
tickets for failing to register
his vehicle in addition to his'
tickets for parking violations,
even though his car was
registered with Security.
Hence, he was excused of all
registration tickets and given
one week to pay his other
fines after he is informed of
the readjusted total of his
fines. The Board also decided
that failure by any of the
defendants to pay their fines
in the alloted time would
result in the loss of all campus
vehicle privileges for the
remainder of the 1978-79
school year. In addition,
further tickets for parking in
the cafeteria lot received any
time until the end of the school
year will void vehicle
privileges for the ticket’s
recipient until the end of this
school year.
Also, the Judicial Board
decided to recommend to the
Student Life Office that, an
nually, a list of Traffic Court
members and procedure for
protesting vehicle tickets be
sent out to every student as
soon as the Senate ratifies the
Traffic Court members.

What I don’t understand is
how in a world where fewer
and fewer people are reading,
there are more and more
bookstores opening up. I’ve
been toying with this anomaly
for a while now, ever since the
explosion first reached me:
Bames & Noble’s cute TV ads;
the Strand’s repeated write-
upsj Rizzoli’s appearance and
then multiplication. Today I
head that Dalton’s, the big
nationwide chain that’s stayed
out of New York until now is
planning to open in the old
Nathan’s at the comer of
Eighth Street and Sixth
Avenue. And earlier this
week, my old friend Burt
Britton, late of the Strand,
opened his own store up on
Madison Avenue, with his
partner Jeanette Watson.
The store is called Books &
Cp., which is about the right
name for it. Books are people
for Burt, and the only human
beings who seem to come
close to peoplehood for him
are writers. A few years back,
Burt brought out “Self Por
trait,” a selection from the
thousands of sketches he’d
collected over the years from
anyone who wrote. The great
and the near-great are in it,
and , and even some of us
regular folk. Asked when he’ll
stop collecting these bits of
ephemera, he answers “I
think, maybe, when Chekhov
walks in the store ”
So her he is with a beautiful
brand-new bookstore, uptown
yet! Which is puzzling.
Everybody knows that the
beautiful people dfon’t read
books because they’re too
busy being beautiful’ besides
that, the bookstore is three
doors south of the Whitney,
where aU the visual types go.
I don’t understand any of it.
I know books are selling better
than ever’ but I also know
