I Prcsidental candidate loses
appeal to Judicial Board
by Cyndy Davis
Ballaliun Staff
An election commission rul
ing against student body pres
idential candidate Pat Pearson
for campaign violations was
upheld by the Texas A&M
Judicial Board Tuesday night.
The Judicial Board ruled
in favor of Election Commis
sioner George Growson’s de-
:ision prohibiting Pearson
from campaigning until 10
m. Thursday. The board
ruled Pearson violated an
election regulation prohibit
ing election campaigning un
til Sunday, March 21 at 10
p.m.
Pearson spoke as a pres
idential candidate at a Texas
A&M Corps Staff meeting
March 7, Crowson said.
According to election reg
ulations, the election commis
sion is the sole judge of the
definition of campaigning
and has the authority to take
action necessary to enforce
regulations.
Crowson ruled Pearson
and his campaign managers,
Greg Hood and Chris E.
Cleveland, cannot speak for
Pearson at any meetings or
campaign for him any way
until Thursday night.
They also must cover the
large wooden signs promot
ing Pearson during this
period, he said.
In addition, no flyers or
buttons may be passed out by
Pearson, Hood, or Cleveland
to campaign workers or stu
dents, although flyers and
buttons in the hands of other
campaign workers may be dis
tributed, Crowson said.
Crowson originally repri
manded Pearson by delaying
the start of his campaign four
days. Pearson appealed Crow-
son’s decision, saying the in
tent of his meeting with the
Corps Staff was improperly
interpreted.
During the hearing, Hood
— representing Pearson —
called Cleveland, Off-
Campus Aggies President
Paul Bettencourt and Pearson
to testify. He argued that the
purpose of the meeting with
Corps Staff was to get ideas
for Pearson’s platform from
Corps members. He said this
is a common practice among
candidates and should be en
couraged.
“To take this type of cam
paigning away would be a
gross injustice to the student
body as a whole . . .and thus a
massive joke,” Hood said.
Lawshe narrowly misses
endorsement of OCA
by Larry Baggs
Battalion Reporter
Two votes prevented cadet
Mike Lawshe from receiving en
dorsement for the office of stu
dent body president at a meet
ing of Off-Campus Aggies
Tuesday night.
Lawshe received 13 of the
necessary 15 votes and finished
ahead of Jeff Bissey in the
runoff vote. Two members at
the OCA Executive Officers
Committee meeting passed
rather than choose between
either candidate.
“It takes a two-thirds majority
vote before OCA can endorse a
student candidate,” OCA Presi
dent Paul Bettencourt said. An
earlier vote eliminated Jeff
Anthony and Pat Pearson from
a chance at being endorsed for
the office.
All four candidates for stu
dent body president spoke brief
ly at the meeting before voting
began. Other candidates were
asked questions, but Lawshe
asked the audience questions.
“Can anyone name one thing
Student Government has done
this year?” he asked. No one
could.
In other votes, OCA en
dorsed two students: Fred Bill
ings for the office of vice presi
dent of external affairs and Dale
Whittaker for senior yell leader.
The committee also discussed
arrangements for three social
events planned for this semester
— a toga party, a banquet and a
chili cook-off.
OCA has reserved both
Quonset huts for the toga party
April 9. For the banquet, mem
bers chose the Pelican’s Wharf in
College Station. Awards for out
standing contributions by OCA
members during the past year
will be given during the April 7
banquet, Bettencourt said.
Texas Hall of Fame is re
served on May 1 for the chili
cook-off.
