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.

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 cratic National Committee violated fed- riminal statutes," Reno said. "It does not ar vigorous investigation into allegations ;gal activity surrounding the 1996 elec- :no's 120-person campaign finance task has charged 14 people over the past two including prominent Democratic donors, epublicans in Congress have demanded he turn the case over to an independent elGOP lawmakers remained dissatisfied day. net Reno is failing in her responsibility vestigate the biggest scandal in ngton, the ongoing bipartisan sale of nee in return for unlimited campaign butions," said Rep.

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."
