Fines, at present difficult or
impossible to collect, must be paid to the bursar or violators will not receive grades, according to the proposal.
Proposed By-Law
Under the proposed by-law, the cost of all campaign material used will be determined by a cost chart released by the National Students Association. This will prevent falsified receipts by candidates and claims that material was donated by friends.
A student using $100 of campaign material would be fined $50 under this rule, as compared to a $5 fine under the present bylaw. There is now a $5 fine on the first $50 in violation and a 10 per cent fine thereafter.
“It is profitable to cheat now,” Van Alstyne declared. “First, the fine is so low, it wouldn’t bother a violator. Second, there is practically no chance that he would have to pay. No fines have been collected in the past two or three years.
Falsify Receipts
“Third, he can claim the extra material was given to him by relatives or friends. He could also falsify receipts to keep his expenditures within the legal limits.”
The Senate elections investigating committee is also working on a plan to use machine counted ballots in an effort to eliminate possible dishonesty.
The effort to give SC honest elections is the second step in fulfilling campaign promises, according to Van Alstyne. Initial effort was a bill introduced at the last Senate meeting that would have consolidated all charity drives. The bill was defeated.
“This is a tremendous challenge to the Senate,” Van Alstyne said. “The majority have explessed a desire for tighter election rules.
“It will be interesting to see if they meet the challenge, if they vote as representatives of their party or as representatives of the school.”
Two Resolutions
Two resolutions that SC is planning to present at a regional NSA meeting Nov. 20, will also be discussed by the Senate.
One recommends a change in Veterans Bill 550, which gives Korean War veterans tuition for state, but not private, universities. SC proponents feel that it should conform with laws passed after World War II that paid veterans’ tuition to either public or private schools.
Another resolution would recommend a change in wording of loyalty oaths required of ROTC students. Senators favoring the resolution claim that persons signing the present oath could conceivably be convicted of perjury if they had received mail from a subversive organization.
