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.

A similar opinion came from
