Reno noted that in a hearing last week on the
party-financed issue ads th t both Democrats
and Republicans ran in 1996, FEC commis-
sioners expressed the view that the legal stan-
dard at the time was "fuzzy" and "hardly
clear."
At this time, Reno made no finding on
whether the issue advertisements complied
with election laws. The FEC is still consider-
ing, at meetings later this week, whether the
ads amounted to a civil violation of election
law.
Reno's inquiry was triggered by draft ver-
sions of FEC staff audits that concluded both
Clinton and his 1996 Republican opponent,
Bob Dole, committed civil violations of feder-
al spending limits.
The'audits recommended Clinton repay the
government $7 million and Dole repay $17.7
million.
The FEC auditors argued that the issue ads,
which both Clinton and Dole personally helped
coordinate, went too far and amounted to advo-
cating the candidate's election. If so, the adver-
tising costs should have fallen under spending
limits Clinton and Dole agreed to when they
accepted public campaign funds, the auditors
argued.
At an FEC meetings last Thursday, four of
the six FEC commissioners, including two
Democrats and two Republicans, challenged
the legal basis for the auditors recommenda-
tion.
"Today's determination only ends our probe
into whether issue ads paid for by the

CODE
Continued from Page 1
of Student Conduct Resolution assis-
tant resolution coordinator Gwen
Hulswit said.
A student's first questionable
action will not be sanctioned under
the Code, but "if they have a second
violation with alcohol, they will be
charged under Section F," Hulswit
said.
Section F of the Code cites the
behaviors that contradict the values for
the University community to be: "ille-
gally possessing, using, distributing,
manufacturing or selling alcohol or
other drugs."
But with the correct documentation
saying the student has successfully
fought the ticket in court, the letter can
be appealed and removed from the stu-
dent's record, Hulswit said.
The removal of the letter will
make the student's next violation the
first violation on record with the
OSCR.
Without the removal of the letter,
"additional or subsequent allegations
will be charged under the Code,"
Hulswit said.
Second violation consequences may
include meeting with a resolutions
coordinator.
Sean McCabe, OSCR director, said
OSCR sends these letters to all students
who receive alcohol and drug viola-
tions.
The letters are signed by McCabe.
In 1997, one student challenged the
letter but was unable to provide the
appropriate documentation to appeal
the letter.
In 1996, out of three students who
appealed, only one could provide the
documents and the letter was dropped.
McCabe said the University does
not send letters to parents.
Changes in the Higher Education
Act could allow universities to notify
parents of any student who is involved
in drug- or alcohol-related incidents.
The changes are being reviewed by the
General Council's Office.
AAPD furnishes the Department of
Public Safety with the names of stu-
dents with alcohol violations, and DPS
relays these names to the University.
"If we know it is a University stu-
dent, we make a copy of the complaint
and send it to DPS," said AAPD Sgt.
Michael Logghe, who handles public
affairs.
Logghe said an officer usually asks
if the person receiving a violation is a
student, sometimes to clear home and
school address discrepancies, and

Logghe said he is not involved with that
part of the department.
Cory, an LSA first-year student who
did not want her last name used, said
she received a letter from the University
about a month and a half after she
received her MIP
"It wasn't anything really important
because I'd already been to court," Cory
said.
She said she did not think the
University should be concerned with
her ticket, especially since it did not
come from DPS. But she said the threat
of expulsion shook her up.
A letter informing students about
the Code, signed by Vice President for
Student Affairs Maureen Hartford, went
out to all University students this past
fall.
Hartford said the letters received by
students with ticketed violations and
those received by all students do not
have the same implications.
"There is a letter of warning that
goes out to students who receive a vio-
lation if it is their first violation,"
Hartford said.
Both letters are required to be seni
by the Drug Free Schools and
Campuses Act, which also requires a
similar letter to be sent to faculty and
staff members.
LSA senior David Lanxner and his
housemates received the generic letter
from Hartford, but mistook it for a
warning.
The weekend of Nov. 14, Lanxner
and his housemates had a party where
undercover high-school students were:
served alcohol. Lanxner said the server
was not a resident of the house.
"We didn't get a ticket. The police
took our names and we're supposed to
go to court," Lanxner said, "The offi-
cer said we are in violation of the host
law."
The Host Law states the residents of
a house are considered responsible if
minors are knowingly served alcohol
on their premises.
Lanxner said Hartford's letter,
which he coincidentally received
about one week after the incident,
included a description of the appeals
process and procedures for the Code
as well as what constitutes drug and,
alcohol violations.
The letter said one potential conse-
quence is expulsion.
"That caught my attention,"
Lanxner said, "I don't think we did any-
thing that warrants us being kicked
out."
