Before the election results were announced, an election grievance was filed by Samson and the Action '89 Party in disagreement with the ASUU Elections Grievance Committee's decision to extend the deadline for candidates to file financial disclosure forms. Samson's grievance was a result of 39 ASUU Assembly candidates, three of them from Action '89, not filing their financial disclosures by the prescribed date and time of Feb. 16 at noon. He told the committee these candidates should be removed from the final ballot in fairness to all of the candidates. .

Wednesday night, the ASUU Special Projects Committee "moral center" when building character and making political decisions if they are to conquer the problems of racism and poverty in the nation. As part of Weber State College's convocation series, Jackson spoke to some 8,000 people at the Dee Event Center on a number of political topics Thursday. Jackson started his lecture by asking the hundreds of children in the audience to come down in front of the podium. While waiting for the children to gather and sit on the arena floor, Jackson said, "We must always take the time for our children." Young Americans must receive a "character education," he said. They must be taught that it is not imporliberal or conservatant if theyrare right-wintive, it is only important to be "morally center" and fun; . damentally sound. The character of morally centered people can be "measured by how we treat children in the dawn of life, by how we treat poor people in the pit of life, by how we treat old people in the sunset of life," he said. "It becomes our challenge as a society to lift our char. , . fear and acter above racism, sexism, war," Jackson said. 'Then why must we as a nation reject this evil infirmary, this sickness that manifests itself as meanness, called racism," he said. "(Racism) pulls the wool over your eyes, it takes away your rational thought processes." Jackson said former President Reagan used racism to motivate numerous whites to vote for him during the 1980 presidential election. Reagan created a "mythologin cal woman, a welfare queen" who was see "Jackson" on page three g, allocated $20,000 to the Women's Resource Center to start up a day care on campus.

Beverly Purrington, director of the Women's Resource Center, and Brenda Voisard, policy and research analyst for the center, told the committee 29 percent of undergraduates and 39 percent of graduate students at the U. have children. "This comes out to be over 7,500 students," Purrington said. The statistics were based on a telephone survev conducted by the center. Purrington said the survey's results show the majority of peer institutions already have day care available to student parents. The Superfund allocation will be added to the $7,000 previously transferred from the Assembly to start up the daycare center. However, the center needs to raise an additional $30,000 from private donations to raise the $60,000 necessary to start the facility.
