CURRENTLY. the leadership
of the organization comes mainly
from. the liberal ranks, but the
conservative movement seems to
be becoming more apparent and
more effective, according to Con,

'Reportedly in past years, the

Revised Elections Code
Receives USG Approval
A new elections code w a
adopted Wednesday night by the
Undergraduate Student Govern
ment Congress following several
changes in the proposed code.
The committee which wrote the
elections code had recommended
that no -candidate or political
party be allowed to- advertise
through the mass media. How
ever, Jon Geiger (North) objected
to this provision on the grounds
that The Daily Collegian is the
main means of campus communi
cation. His
from
to remove:this
provision from the code was
passed with little discussion by
the `Congress.. -
ANOTHER CKANGE made in
the proposed elections rules con- .
cerned the percentage of a can
didates votes that may be docked
as a penalty for elections code
violations. • --
Elections Commission Chair
man George Jackson said the
recommendation that "no more
than 3 per cent" of 'a candidate's
votes may be docked for code
violations was made because he
"didn't think the Congress would
accept anything higher." -
HOWEVER. the Congress unani
mously gassed- the motion made
by Fred Good (fraternity area)
to raise the docking limit to 10
per cent so that a severe penalty
could be given without having to
disqualify a candidate.,
In other businesi,' the Congress
unanimously accepted I the tot-

To realize the goal of a more
academic atmosphere, the report
stated, the Undergraduate Student
Government , should circulate a
questionnaire among the faculty
to determine which areas of stu
dent affairs outside class they
woUld be interested in aiding.
THE GROUP also proposed
that a standard list of recom
mended books be sent tO the col
lege councils, which would send
it to all incoming freshmen and
make it available to upperclass
men. These councils could also
add another list of special in
terest reading.
Placing a new slant (in an old
student plea, the workshop asked
that all women over 21' years of
age be allowed to live 'off cam

stated in the report is that **The
establishment of University regu

is sometimes detrimental to the
fursuit of .complete academic
reedom, Therefore we advocate
the maintenance of a minimum of
said regulations."
