DT Bares 'Code of Ethics . As Election 'Retake' Nears
The following regulations, governing political campaign publicity in the Daily Trojan, will be in force starting today:
1. No political candidates, or their managers, or anyone connected with the campaign in any way, will be allowed entry to Dixon Bell press, the DT night shop. Since Dixon Bell is a commercial establishment, the management is empowered to eject anyone who disobeys the regulation.
2.	One candidate, or his manager, or a delegated representative may come to the editor’s office of the Daily Trojan and ask to see any copy being written about him. He may read the copy and enter his objections or suggestions about it to the editor who will allow the corrections to be made if they are reasonable. He may not make the corrections on the copy himself.
3.	No retractions will be made during the campaign for any but outright errors of fact, since it is assumed that, with the above guarantees, each candidate has the right and duty to use and enter objections.
* * *
During the campaign, the DT will run “battle columns” wherein the opposing factions will be allowed to set forth their platforms, views, and candidates. These will be run Friday and must be in the editor’s office by Wednesday. Each group will be given exactly the same amount of space.
In the election issue, published on the first day of voting, each candidate will provide the following information about himself to be run in a page of individual
statements:
Name, office desired, faction affiliation (if any), major activities, and a short statement of aims. The limit is 100 words.
In both the above, it is to be understood that the DT has the right to edit the material to remove libelous statements or any other legally actionable matter for which the paper would be held responsible.
DT reporter John Kendal! will handle Ed V»erheil-ig’s campaign and reporter Earl Griswold will cover Unity party activities.
