Show DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE 4 ELECTIONS Continued from page 1 the party was delivering materials to candidates and supporters and not campaigning, but he noted it is important to respect the process. "It was detrimental to find out that the two hours of restricted campaigning was the peak time when ASUU was running an event to really encourage voting," he said. Peak Party campaign man- ager Janean Ford, a senior in economics and international studies, said she is glad the committee gave punishment to send a message. She understood the lack of evidence, but thought the punishment could have been stronger. The Peak Party was ordered to take down all posters in violation of election rules by io a.m. Monday. The party was allowed to re-hang the posters in approved locations. The grievance filed by the HOUSE Party claimed post- ers in HPER, Business Classroom, the Spencer Fox Eccles Business Building and Henry Eyring Building were hung on painted surfaces, in violation of campaign rules. Maria Mooers-Putzer, elections registrar and law student, said to the best of her knowledge the posters have been brought into compliance as of Monday. Ford said the ruling was completely fair. She said posters in HPER often fall down and are sometimes hung back of general dancing — a true free for all. Other dance teams were able to perform as well, such as the ballroom team and swing club. Jenniffer Viana, a sophomore in social work, loves to dance because it's a stress reliever and confidence booster. She is a member of the ballroom dance team, starting when she took a class her freshman year. Derington believes this kind of involvement is great in school because extra-curricular activities help break up the monotony of classes. Plus, dancing is something anyone can do. "In the 194os and '5os, social dance was alive and hopping," she said. "That was the pastime, and through this event and teaching ballroom dance, we're trying to bring that back to life." She knows many people like to dance, but may not like the atmosphere of clubs. For her, ballroom has been a safe way to get personal contact with people and move to music. Dancing can help people break away from shy tendencies as well. Cosette Reeves, 15, came to the competition with her dad Dale Reeves. The duo are local community members from the BallroomUtah studio. They competed in swing, waltz and chacha. "It makes me feel relaxed," Cosette Reeves said. "I'm not a very social person, so dancing allows me to step out and express myself while being around new people." c.webber@ chronicle.utah.edu cial change. But maybe that's a pipe dream too. Here's the thing — it's not like we can't have a good time in the workplace, enjoy each other's company and have our own snarky remarks and private jokes. Just understand, if we don't know each other, and you make a "clever" comment that has something to do with my gender, we are not going to be friends. Heaven help the man who says, "That's a nice-looking pair of legs on you. What was the question?" or calls me a silly little girl. m.clark@chronicle.utah.edu DANCE Continued from page 1 the event, and came to check out the other dancers. "It's fun to see the amateurs compete along those who are a little better," Rosie Voks said. "It is encouraging to see." It did not matter what level the dancers were, because the dance floor was open. Couples could wear and move how they wanted. Some came to support their friends in the competition, like Janean Ford, a senior in international studies and economics. She loved to see her friends smiling while getting a chance to show off what they've learned. Between rounds, the floor was open for a couple minutes BLOG Continued from page 2 social change, I thought, despite differing political views and values, the journalistic community would be progressive enough to recognize they can be catalysts for so- 1 111 T 1 up in unapproved locations. The party found HOUSE Party posters next to some of the Peak posters cited in the grievance. She said the party usually handles poster complaints though the elections registrar. "It was sad it had to go that far instead of a two-second phone call," she said. Ferre said the elections registrar told the HOUSE Party on Monday it had too many posters in HPER, but otherwise all the party's posters Tuesday, March 5, 2013 were in compliance with election rules. "This grievance committee errs on the side of leniency," he said. "We would have liked to see them removed for the remainder of the campaign." The committee decided the HOUSE Party was not at fault for a claim that a party member was handing out candy in the Social Work Building. Election rules prohibit parties from handing out food of any kind. "The violator was not identified as a member of the HOUSE Party within the grievance, and no timestamped pictures were submitted to support the claim," the ruling said. Ford said the ruling was fair because the committee denied hearing a grievance filed by HOUSE Party with the same level of evidence. "I really respect them for sticking to their guns," she said. t.webb@ chronicle.utah.edu University MEDIA SALES GROUP ,, THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH 8 ANSWERS TO TODAY'S PUZZLE 9 5 9 CO N- 6 38 342 7 3 5 8 26 7 9 6 7 1 5 79 8 4 2 CV REDS ORCAS CAS S AP OP ZILCH ANT I V I VAZAPATA VIAL I C ES A W MAMMAMI A D A D A L ER S A B O V O O L I V E R DONOR MERS YVES EXCLAMAT I ONMARK N Y E T BIAS AETNA AVANT I INSET OBAMA NI L AIRPLANE FERVOR SLOE HELLODOL LY I BAR ANSEL TOGA SORE BAAED EGAN MICHAEL SYGNATOWICZ/The Daily Utah Chronicle Competitors strike a pose during the "So You Think You Can Ballroom?" competition. .dailyutahchronicle. co nn Mr-Wir JOB POSTING -1 Win www.popcultureconucs.com C) Doug Bratton 2007 GROUP LEADERS (10.15 kids) for SLC School District After School program 19.5 hrs/wk; M-TH 2:30.5:30/6pm and Fridays 12:30-5:30/6pm.
