Last year when violations occurred, the Electoral Commission simply told the party members to stop what they were doing wrong. "It was a slap on the wrist," she said. As of Monday, TREK had run the cleanest campaign, receiving no fines, while the other five parties received fines ranging from $35 to $200. The largest fine, $200, went to HUGE for not showing up for a mandatory candidate meeting Feb. 1 1, Beyke said. AIM, Unite, NUdeal and FROG received fines mostly for poster viola tions, Beyke said. She explained the parties did not go to the Electorial Commission, which issues the fines. Instead the figures were subtracted from the parties spend ing limits, which depend on the number of candidates running in the party, Beyke said. The three executive candidates can spend up to $600, she said, and the rest of the candidates can spend up to $25 apiece. After $66 worth of fines were imposed on NUdeal, the party could only spend $1,159 of an original $1,225 Unite received $75 in fines for not abiding by the poster regulations, for setting up a booth in CBA that was sometimes unmanned and for a poster that was too large. Unite's original limit was $2,500. AIM was fined $65, which reduced total spending limit of $1,197 to $1,132. While AIM, NUdeal and Unite had spent about $1,000 apiece on their campaigns as of Monday, TREK, FROG and HUGE had spent less than $100. . Beyke said the parties still have to turn in two more financial statements, one today and one after the election. Much more could be spent, she said. Richard Burke, NUdeal's presiden tial candidate, said the $66 fine hurt a little. He said, however, that NUdeal spent most of its campaign money several weeks ago on large quantities of posters. Andy Pollock, Unite's presidential can didate said the $75 fine it received for poster violations and the unmanned booth hurt the party because party" members had planned to spend more money on advertising the day of the election. "We'll have to be real careful with expenses on the last day," he said. " Beyke said posters could not be put in classrooms, as many were, or on doors. Parties could put up to four pos ters on a bulletin board, but the pos ters could not cover up other material. Six debates observe candidates' differences The six parties in this year's ASUN election campaign have had six opportunities to present their positions in public debates. ASUN Executive director Marlene Beyke said more debates have been sponsored this year than any year since 1978 when she first began working here. Jeff Warren, chairman of the ASUN Communications Comittee, said next year ASUN should try to have organi zations cosponsor debates so there will be fewer debates. One more debate is scheduled for noon today in the Nebraska Union main lounge, sponsored by the Stu dents First organization. Here are some highlights from five of the debates: February 26 Sponsored by Mortar Board AIM presidential candidate Greg Dynek said his party will stress communication and work on issues that affect all students, such as grading scales and videotaped clas ses, to improve student government. Richard Burke, NUDeal presiden tial candidate, said his party is working on a scholarship-matching service and is planning a job and internship program to involve stu dents in downtown Lincoln redevelop ment., "A vote for HUGE is a vote for fun, freedom and surfing," said HUGE presidential candidate Steven Show alter. , , March 3 Sponsored by Res-
