Applications for Undergraduate Student Government candidates are available now in the USG office on the third floor of the Student Center.

Students have until 4 p.m. Friday, April 27 to return the petitions to USG.

Election Affairs Commissioner Mindy Scott said USG is doing things a little differently this year for the elections.

Last year we ran into a lot of problems with the petitions, she said. There were some that were found to be invalid because of problems with signatures and such. This new system should eliminate a lot of that.

Scott said there will be a preliminary meeting for petitioners April 20. She said if students will bring in their petitions on this date she will review them to see if there are any problems. This will eliminate a lot of the last-minute problems experienced in the past.

USG elections are April 15 with campaigning beginning midnight April 2.

The debate between presidential candidates is 7 p.m. April 9 in the Mississippi Room of the Student Center.

Students interested in running for USG offices can pick up information from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the USG office on the third floor of the Student Center.
