"I love peaceful protests and participation in any form that can get people motivated, and it's especially effective when it gets noticed by the public, the press and public officials," Jowers said. The commission, which aims to increase political involvement in Utah, will address concerns highlighted by Nuclear Reaction, including ethics reform and lobbying, in a meeting March 28. Jowers said the commission will not have an impact on this legislative session, which ends March 11. The commission will meet once a month until Oct. 26, when he hopes to have specific recommendations for the next legislative session to consider. "The governor put this group together wanting us to take our time, deliberate and really come up with some compelling and persuasive recommendations that the Legislature can act on in the next session," Jowers said. While Jowers and other commission members hammer out specific policy proposals, Nuclear Reaction hopes to raise awareness through peaceful but quirky protesting. Jowers said he is pleased to see other Utahns become involved in the political process and that smaller groups such as Nuclear Reaction can make an impact. "Bigger groups have a better chance at being seen or heard," Jowers said. "But that doesn't mean that small groups shouldn't make their case because you never know what fire that will spark. Most worthwhile things take a real, sustained effort to get people's attention." b.hodges@chronicle.utah.edu GO continued from Page 1 Get paid for .._:_;— registrar for ASUU, said there is no specific rule that governs students' choice of songs during the elections. "The only requirement candidates have is to follow all university policies and local laws," Hibbard said. "If there is a party that wants to file a grievance about this, I would deal with it at that time. At the current time, no action will be taken." Chand said that candidates for elections should be held to a higher standard. "These are students that are run.ning for office," Chand said.
