Director of Student Activities Tim Moore told a small group of potential candidates the guidelines for next term's student elections.
"Election guidelines are designed to facilitate the election process," Moore said. "They do not and cannot regulate good taste on the campus -- that is up to the individual candidate."
Moore is the chair of the Election Advisory Committee, a group of students and administrators who oversee student elections.
Next term, students will elect a Student Assembly president and an Assembly vice president and 24 general Assembly representatives.
Students will also elect three regular and three alternate representatives to the Committee on Standards, the College's undergraduate judicial body.
The Classes of 1996, 1997 and 1998 will also choose a president and a vice president. The Class of 1997 will also choose 20 members for the Green Key Society.
Each candidate must turn in a petition by 4 p.m. on March 4. Candidates for Assembly president and vice president must get 100 signatures. All other candidates must get 50 signatures.
Campaigning will being at midnight on April 4, and elections will be on April 11 in the Collis Center. Green Key will oversee the election.
The spending limit for Assembly president and vice president is $150. All other candidates may spend up to $100.
"It is the candidate's responsibility to keep track of your receipts," Moore said. "If a question comes up if somebody thinks you've overspent, you will be asked to provide the receipts."
"There are also College policies and procedures," he said. "People will be referred to the Dean's office if there is a violation."
Those policies include regulations on posters and the use of electronic mail.
