Show DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE Tuesday, November 29, 201 1 ELECTION Down and out full two semesters to do work," Williams said. For students who do run, they'll be seeing more changes than just the campaigning schedule. The maximum candidates can spend on campaigns has been dropped from $6,750 to $5,000. Williams said this is so candidates can focus more on the issues. "We want elections to be more about the improvements candidates are making on campus rather than the amount of money that's being put into the party," Williams said. "[The change] urges candidates to be more creative in how they get word out to students." About two years ago the cap was $9,800, said Quentin Hodges, ASUU's assistant elections registrar. A high spending limit "eliminates some students from getting involved because they weren't able to do the fundraising," he said. Lowering the cap means candidates will be competing more closely in terms of campaign funds.

The program currently has six first-year graduate pharmacists as residents. six positions were received last year. "Over the past 20 years our graduates have been doing things all the way across the country and contributing to better health and better pharmacy practice," Mullin said. "We work very hard at developing indi- tial voters at campaign events. Instead, ASUU will be in charge of food. This change is also intended to encourage candidates to focus more on issues. "Hopefully students will be more about getting the word out about their platforms than making nacho cheese," Hodges said. The academic requirements will also be higher for candidates this year. Candidates running for president, vice president, and senior class president will need at least a 3.o GPA, up from the 2.7 requirement. Senate and assembly candidates will need a 2.7 GPA, which used to be 2.5. Voter turnout for ASUU elections was about 14 percent of the student body last year, Williams said. He wants to change that. "A realistic goal is at least 20 percent of the student body," he said. Hodges said with ASUU's $1.5 million budget — all from student fees — students need to pay more attention and get involved, which starts with voting or even running for office. "ASUU has a lot more power than people realize on campus," Hodges said. "I really just hope to see more people getting involved." n.dunn@chronicle.utah.edu continued from Page 1 JEFF MCGRATH/The Daily Utah Chronicle FROM TWITTER: 3 SMITH pornography by any of its employees, regardless of where it occurs."
