[old St 'Beer Campaign Expenses Unlimited Senate Wednesday eliminated the limits on expenditures for persons running for student body offices April 14. The motion, which rescinds two sections of a previous bill concern ing elections, was opposed by sev eral senators who said elimination of a monetary ceiling might hinder certain candidates. Sen. Chip Galloway s a i d the monetary ceilings in the elections bill "provide a candidate a more equal basis with other candidates." In the election bill passed ear lier by the Senate, candidates for major offices were limited to ex penditures of $200 and minor of fice candidates were limited to $125. Student B o d y Vice President David Eckstrom, who introduced the amendment, said a true ceiling could not be placed on candidates because of two factors: the num ber of man-hours and money spent. Eckstrom said some candidates could get posters, printing, and other campaign necessities f r e e, but other candidates would have to pay for such items. "A good campaign depends on mere than money," Eckstrom said. "This rule (limiting expenses) is virtually impossible to enforce." A rule limiting campaign ex penses depends on honesty, Eck strom said, "and it would be as suming too much out of a person to ask him to keep a record of all his campaign expenses." If a candidate was dishonest about his expenses, "It would be discriminatory to those who were honest about expenses," Eckstrom said.
