DAN PHILUPS Special to The Gamecock
In an effort to foster better understanding of the
role of the Judicial Board in the Carolina community,
the Judicial Board, in conjunction with The Gamecock,
is offering this series of articles about previous USC
cases.
These cases, most of which date back several years,
will be modified, and names will be changed to protect
the identities of charged students and victims. Various
potential sanctions, which could be applied to the
case, will be included.
Judicial Board members and Student Development
Department staff hope these articles will generate
thought about the code of conduct that every student
agrees to abide by when they enter the Carolina
community. The following case study centers around
a violation of the university's regulations concerning
university IDs.
Case Study
Doug was a sophomore living on campus. He had
made some friends, but his best pal was Gary. Gary
was also a sophomore and had just moved in with Doug
at the beginning of the spring semester. Both had been
at Carolina for over a year and thought they had this
place pretty much figured out.
One night in late February, while watching bas

ketball in their room, Doug and Gary got into an argument.
They had gotten a 12-pack for the triple header
that night, and by half-time of the second game,
they had run out of beer. Since Doug was 21 and Gary
was 19, Doug was obligated to make all of the beer
runs for them. Doug was tired of being the one who always
had to make the run. He complained he always
lost his parking spot, and sometimes he felt like he
was a gopher for Gary. Gary was offended by Doug's
complaints, remarking he could do nothing to change
the situation. The two friends argued back and forth,
then began to ponder their situation and any possible
solutions.
Doug and Gary came to an agreement, deciding life
would be much simpler if they could both buy alcohol
so Doug didn't always have to be the one to make the
run to the store, and they came up with a plan. Not a
good plan, mind you, but a plan.
Doug gave Gary a history of his background and
personal information. Gary spent some time memorizing
a few things about Doug he thought might be
necessary to obtain an ID in his name. Confident with
his new-found identity, Gary went to get a new and

Perhaps Gary was still a little hung over from the
previous night or maybe he was just plain nervous, 1
but Gary didn't perform as well as he hoped at the Registrar's
Office. In fact, Gary was so flustered he even ,
stumbled over Doug's last name. Gary, a little scared 1
and embarrassed, left the office empty handed. I
Doug and Gary were both pretty frightened by the ]
whole scenario, but after talking about it with each
other, they figured there was really nothing to worry
about. After all, they didn't actually get a fake ID, and '
the university probably had better things to worry
about than their failed attempt.
Doug and Gary were wrong. The university did (
pursue the matter, and an incident report was filled
out by the Registrar's Office staff. Both plead guilty to
lying or fraud and misuse of an ID card. After a hearing,
they were each placed on disciplinary probation

Although Doug and Gary did not actually obtain
or possess a false university ID, their attempt to receive
one warrants the same penalty. Being caught in
the act does not eliminate the intent of action.
