Senate Revises
Election Code
By Rick Larue
An election code revision
was one of the first actions
taken by the 1974-75 Student
Senate. The revision was a
result of controversial ASB
elections held last June.
The new election code
establishes a Grievance com-
mittee staffed by the Election
committee chairman; Assistant
Superintendent, Student
Personnel; two students (who
are not candidates, campaign
managers, canvassers, or- sen-
ate members) and two faculty
members.
The new code also stipulates
that the polls will be run by
non-college personnel, not by
students as in the past. In
addition, there ·will be no
campaigning within restricted
polling areas to be established
by the Election committee. In
a by-laws change was made.
