April 6. i987 'Judiciary 'finds duo notqullty by Kathleen Cressler: The University News. \ BSU basketball players Arnell Jones and Dan Olson were acquitted of tampering. with fire equipment and harrassment charges by the ASBSU Judiciary. March '16. The split decision. 3-2 in' favor of acquittal. marks the first non- unanimous ruling to come out of the Judiciary in three years. , The two. along with an uniden- tified third person. were accused of removing the cover of a fire alarm in Chaffee Hall Jan. 29. According to the decision, Chaf- fee Hall Resident Adviser Diane Yore filed an incident report Jan. 29. which accused the three of removing. the cover. causing the building's alarm to go off, shortly after she had assisted Jones and Olson in finding somcone's room. Charges also included harrassment by jeopardizing the security and safe- ty of university community members. Senior Justice Kathy Page said. "these (cases) are usually handled in the residence hall (rather than the Judiciary). but because Jones and Olson arc not residing in Chaffee Hall. the resident hall contract docs not apply." The not-guilty verdict was reach- ed; according to the decision. because there were "numerous surrounding Chrts Butler I University News doors through which individuals Four-year-old Melissa Chivers gives one of the deer ilt the Boise Zoo a little something to munch on. could have emerged" and because Making a friend: Yore did not actually see the three . : 'Plll1·."offt/le'·cover. ,;, '" 'Neither Jones nor Olson' was pre- sent to enter a plea at the hearing. and neither could be reached for the actions of his subordinate," but nel Selection Committee Chair Linda low during the past two years. comment. by Rebecca Carrier declined to comment more specifical- Phillips notified her he had not "My intentions were for the good and Karen Kammann ly concerning Scott until after enrolled and April 2. when she was of the students," Scott said.
