general election for April 14,15 and 16.
Day said that she was unaware that
scheduling the election during the law
school's Dead Week is against the
rules. She said that law student Colin
Andries, a member of the ASUO Stu
dent Senate and the ASUO Programs
Finance Committee, reminded her
that an election may not be scheduled
during Finals Week, but said he didn't
mention Dead Week.
Day said a grievance was filed last
year because the election was scheduled
during the law school's Finals Week.
Day added that while she understands
that law students need time to study for
finals, she was disappointed at the de
cision because it forced the board to
move the election forward, giving can
didates less time to campaign.
The court also had other objections
to the election packet, including a rule
that the court felt was confusing.
The court said the packet's word
ing of ASUO Election Rule 2.5,
which prohibits candidates from
promising gifts or benefits in ex
change for votes, is too confusing.
The court deemed it "void for vague
ness" because it "presents an incom
prehensible morass of text from
which no reasonable person could
derive meaning."
"Should the Elections Board desire
to preserve the substance of the rule,
they must do so by redrafting it in Eng
lish simple enough that a person of or
dinary intelligence could glean mean
ing from it," Harris wrote.
Day said the court has approved the
same language in past years.
The rule reads: "For purposes of this
section, 'service, opportunity, or other
thing of value' are defined to exclude
benefits which would insure to an elec
tor or electors as a direct result of an
election or ballot measure outcome
provisions or withholding of a partic
ular service, opportunity, or other thing
of value."
A section of the packet also implies
that it is merely "traditional" to have
proposed ballot measures contain sep
arate question-and-answer sections,
when in reality it is a rule that ballot
measures must have separate sections,
Harris wrote.
An Elections Recruitment Fair will
take place today in the EMU Am
phitheater. Students are invited to at
tend the fair, which starts at 11 a.m. and
lasts until 3 p.m., to get more informa
tion about running for office and to
meet the ASUO Elections Board. The
deadline to submit an election appli
cation is March 10.

"Boy, wait till they see the fire in
my belly," he said. "I didn't win 18
out of 20 caucuses and primaries so
far because I don't have the fire in
the belly. And people who know me
well know that fire is raging."
Speaking to the American Urban Ra
dio Network, Kerry said Monday that
he hoped to emulate former President
Clinton in the eyes of blacks, the par
ty's most loyal constituency and a sol
id source of support during his stretch
of primary wins.
"President Clinton was often
known as the first black president,"
Kerry said. "I wouldn't be upset if I
could earn the right to be the second."
The University of Pennsylvania's
National Annenberg Election Survey
had a margin of error of plus or minus
4 percentage points.
