RAHH

"A number of people around the campus were doing happy dances about that," said Wasserberger about Rahh's conviction.

Rahh had been accused by prosecutors of using city-issued credit cards for personal expenses, paying for such items as his brother's dental bills, a $1,000 health-club membership and $2,000 in rental-car bills for a friend.

In May, Rahh was sentenced to three years' probation and 250 days of community service for the improprieties--a sentence made lighter, the judge said, because of the 56-year-old professor's health problems.
