iek. Rockets bombard Electoral Commission
Rick and the Rockets,
known for their rock music of
the 1950's have played before
many University audiences.
But now the Rockets have
formed the Rocket Grease and
Freedom Party for the ASUN
elections and are turning their
energies to student government
politics in some interesting
ways.
Last Friday members of the
Rockets played before a new
audience-the ASUN Electoral
Commission.
The Rockets, who some say
are running a joke campaign,
asked the Electoral
Commission to disqualify all
ASUN presidential candidates,
except the group's candidate
Kent "Rick"' Apthorpe. on the
grounds the candidates violated
election rules by starting their
campaigns too soon.
THE ROCKETS contended
that the tour presidential
candidates b being
interviewed in the March 14
""Courier" violated election

rules that state informal
campaigning cannot start until
March 21.
To further buttress their
argument," the Rockets'
complaint noted the election
rules state: "Each candidate is
responsible for actions taken in
his behalf."
pthorpe was the only
ASUN presidential candidate
not interviewed by the
' Courier". " which is
published by the Committee
for Undisrupted Education.
The publication said Apthorpe
was unavailable for comment
However, the iectoral
Commission refused the
Rockets' request. The
Commission's statement
concerning the complaint read:
"AFTER LENGTHY
deliberation and the better
mierests ot the student rouy
taken into consideration the
Electoral Commission voted to
retain th candidates a they
were previously filed "
Electoral Commissioner
Dave Bingham noted the
question of freedom ot the
pTess involved in the
Rockets" complaint He said
newspaper articles (except ads)
do not fall under the
Commission's control '"unless
it is proven the pnss is owned
and operated by candidates. .
for campaign purposes "
Noting that Apthorpe was
the only candidate not
interviewed, some members of
the Commission charged thaJ
the Rockets complaint was
motivated because oi political
reasons
APTHORPE RESPONDED to
the Electoral Commissions
decision by saying his group
would take their complaint to
the Student Court.
Two other presidential
candidates appeared before the
ill A "8No. mtn,
Commission Friday to air
grievances.
Tim Kincaid complained
that the election rule allowing
executive candidates of the
same party to pool their
money discriminates against
candidates, like himself, who
are running alone. Under
current ASUN election rules
Kincaid can only spend $50
while executive candidates of
the same party can spend their
money collectivelv as long as
the total expenditure does not
exceed $50 per candidate
KINCAID ASKED the
