Mexican s Associated Prats COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) ? American are "ready for restoration of the American dream," and he is living proof that the dream can come true, says uepuDiican presiaentiai nopetui Benjamin Fernandez. Fernandez, a self-made California millionaire born in a converted railroad boxcar to Mexican immigrant parents, said Tuesday his background will appeal to voters. ins canaiaacy snows mai in me United States anything is possible, said Fernandez, 54, who described V/LUUV11L defrauds university By Karen Qeney Gamecock Staff Writer A student who defrauded the university was ordered to pay restitution and given an official reprimand by the university Supreme Court, in a hearing Aug. 30. Student X, unnamed because of student court regulations, reserved Bell Camp for two days in October 1978, on behalf of a university social fraternity. The fraternity was given the lowest rate of rental, $50 a day for a USC group. Approximately 300 people attended the party. The charges arose when the security guard, who is a university employee, reportd to authorities that the party was not given by the USC fraternity named on the schedule. THE PARTY was by invitation only, and the name on the invitations was not that of the fraternity but of a fictitious association, according to Michael Nunn who prosecuted the case for Student Government. Charges were brought against Student X alleging that his misuse of university documents in reserving Bell Camp for a USC group was fraudulent and resulted in a loss of revenue for the university. Court members were confused as to what constitutes a non-USC group. No definition for this classification was found on the rate schedule. The lower court ordered restitution of $150 for two days to be made by Student X, minus the $100 he had originally paid for in reserving the facilities. This is the rate difference between a USC group and a USC individual. FRANK ARDAIOLO OF . Campus Relations, said the student was given a reprimand as "an official notice which remains in a student's file for a maximum of two semesters. It is the least sanction one can receive." The Supreme Court held that Student X knew he had made misrepresentation to the university. Therefore, a reprimand was an appropriate sanction, and restitution must be make to the university.
