thing. kids take aren't seniors are saying it's not a big thing but if they were in my shoes now, four years of hard work, i've never gotten in trouble and i've been waiting for this moment, my mom has been waiting for this moment, six months that's all she was talking about. >> honestly i feel the punishment was harsh. no one got hurt. the baby oil was just a joke. i heard about it the day before but honestly i didn't think they were going to go through with it but it isn't that bad. no one got hurt at the end of the day. >> reporter: but it could have been much worse. thankfully no one was hurt at all. coming up at 6:30, one student's failed attempt to reverse the decision. back to you. >> delia goncalves, a sad day for their parents, too. she's reporting live from herndon, virginia this morning. now to prince george's county. county executive rushern baker says he wants his administration judged by the success of the county schools. he announced wednesday a 12- person panel to advise him on education. >> the idea is to better support our teaching and

to 395 where it's also slow through landmark to seminary road. at least the lanes are open. there are no major incidents. i think we can deal with this on an early thursday morning. let's go to our maps right now. the beltway looks great as you can see. a bit of slow traffic inside the beltway 066 and on 2 -- on 66 and on 270 as you leave urbana to clarksburg. we'll take a live look outside right now. leaving 270, that's going to be fine across the river down into tysons toward 66 and beyond. coming up in my next report, we'll take another look at area roads coming up in a few minutes. back to you guys. >> thanks, monika. former "washington post" reporter who admits to being an illegal immigrant is back in the spotlight this morning. >> cbs this morning is following this story. charlie rose joins us live from new york with a preview. good morning, charlie. i remember this guy has a pretty good reputation, too. >> he did. we'll talk more about that. good morning, andrea and jessica. also there is this. if you grew up in ow or -- new

orleans and did not love hot sauce, you missed something. a year ago he did reveal he was living in the u.s. illegally. this morning he will be here in studio 57. we'll hear what's happening to him since and how he's making waves with a new "time" magazine cover story. also photos of president kennedy we've never seen before, public and private moments from his 1960 campaign and combining the most poe tent, powerful and intense ingredients on planet earth. we'll show you how an after hours hot sauce experiment is changing american cuisine. all of that when we see you at 7:00. >> you can't see me right now but i did grow up in new orleans and i never leave home without it. very my tobasco and this is the buffalo flavored sauce right now. you have got to try it. >> send me some today. >> it is delicious. i will get you some. >> charlie, what you need to know is she keeps it in her makeup bag is it's always on hand. >> by the table.

a good little pick me up. i'm get you some, charlie. was it a crackdown or misbehavior or an overreaction to a teenage prank? either way a group of seniors from herndon high school won't be walking at graduation today. >> it's all because of a planned senior prank. delia goncalves is live outside of the high school with reaction. >> reporter: typically schools don't tolerate this kind of behavior. i remember when i was a senior, several moons ago in high school, there was an announcement made if you were caught in a senior prank, you could forget about graduation. many of us thought it was an empty threat but this school actually went through with it. six students planned to pour baby oil on the hallway floors and stairs last week during finals. three of those students were caught and suspended, banned from walking across the stage to receive their diplomas later this afternoon. one student who said he never poured the oil but did admit to being a part of the prank

pleaded his case with his parents at a school hearing yesterday but the decision was final. >> we understand if people got hurt, we would have accepted the consequences and we still do but i feel like seven days and cannot walk at graduation is too harsh of a punishment. >> i was willing to do any punishment that didn't involve me not walking graduation. i wasn't trying to avoid punishment but the fact that they think it's okay to take away really the only proud day i'm going to have leaving high school, i disagree with that. >> reporter: just to put this all in perspective, a fire alarm was pulled just an hour after this baby oil prank. the students all evacuated the school safely but you can imagine with slippery floors, it could have been a disaster and many students could have been hurt. he also just got word from the school pio that racial slurs and vulgarities were spray painted on on school pot overnight -- property overnight

near the branlses of number -- entrances number one and three. school officials can't make a connection to these particular seniors or the backlash of them being suspended but school officials say this new event is rather suspicious because the timing is suspect. jessica, back to you. >> definitely a troubling development. delia goncalves live in herndon, virginia this morning. loudoun county will decide in the coming weeks whether to fund the extension of metro's silver line to ashburn. county leaders are reportedly leaning towards saying yes. "the washington post" says lawmakers are listening to business leaders in the county. they say without the extension past dulles airport, the county will lose business to neighboring fairfax county. without the metro, they say loudoun will be an old fashion bedroom community. an official kickoff today for the u street rehab project. the historic corridor in northwest is getting a facelift between 9th and 14th streets.

payback from senior executives involved in the risky trades. the hearing comes as congress finalizes new banking regulations, including the so- called volcker rule, designed to prevent makes from making risky trades for their own profit. >> it hasn't been written yet. it's complicated. >> reporter: lawmakers are trying to get a handle on whether big banks are still a big risk. >> what would you do to make our system safe senator. >> the biggest disappointment i've had is that we never actually sat down, republicans, democrats, businesses and had real detailed conversations about what went wrong, what needs to be fixed. >> reporter: dimon insisted there are some parts of stricter regulation that he does support. danielle nottingham, cbs news, washington. the volcker rule is supposed to take effect next month, but banks have two years to fully comply. our time is 6:38. what dad wouldn't like to be fed well for father's day. >> in nine minutes, we're going
