ASSUSC election bylaws struck down by justices by Ralph Schriock The ASSUSC Judicial Council Friday struck down as unconstitutional a set of election bylaws that limited where and when candidates can campaign and how much they spend. The schools justices accepted arguments made by ASSUSC President Scott Price and Coordinator of d Student Affairs Mitch Connell to eliminate the immediate freedom bylaws, giving campaign to candidates in Wednesdays elections. Price said that as a judicial body, the council could not simply declare parts of the bylaws unconstitutional without eliminating all of them. Our elections have been so regulated that the candidates are bound by chains, Connell said in his senate-approve- arguments against the bylaws. The candidates were so intimidated by these laws they were even afraid of telling anyone they were going to run, because they didnt know what construed campaigning. The bylaws, which were approved early this month by the ASSUSC Senate, were meant to clarify campaign rules, said Senate President Steve Wright. Among the sections of the bylaws struck down by the Judicial Council were those that: Required all campaign signs and banners to be approved by the Elections Committee before being posted and not exceed four by four feet. Allowed the Elections Committee to remove illegally displayed materials and impose a penalty. Limited candidates to two signs in each building and each party to one poster at each entrance to a building. Limited party sending to $1,000 and an independent candidates spending to $250. Prohibited campaigning before a time designated by the Elections Committee. The Judicial Council did recommend, however, that four to six weeks be designated for campaigning before voting day. The justices also ruled unconstitutional additions to the bylaws that prohibited campaigning at the St ident Center, the Fieldhouse, or at any athletic events. The bylaws did require voters to present their student body cards with winter quarter stickers when balloting, but the council recommended that voters just present a picture ID and voting officials check their names from a list of current students. door-to-do- cr (continued on page 7) |
