Campaign audits show no overspending violations
By DON KNOX Staff Reporter
The Momentum Coalition, which had been accused numerous times of overspending in its drive to win this week's Student Senate election, spent nearly $100 less than its biggest campaign rival, the Consensus Coalition.
According to audits filed yesterday afternoon with Elena Brito, chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Elections, Momentum spent $1,121.96 in its campaign, more than $140 less than its spending limit of $1,262.62, Consensus; however, spent $1,219.92 in the cam-
patign, less than $80 under its limit of
$1,297.62.
The audits, which Brito checked,
must be formally approved at a
meeting today of the five-member
Elections Review Board.
"It's kind of ironic, isn't it?" Momentum vice president candidate David Tepoorten said after the audit figures were initially released. "What we have been saying about false accusations appears to be true."
THREE FORMAL complaints were filed against Momentum for overspending. Two complaints were filed by the Introspection Coalition, and one was filed by Consensus.
Teoporten questioned the timing of the complaints, saying he could not understand how opposing coalitions could lodge complaints before campaign audits had been filed with the Elections Subcommittee.
JIM CRAMER, 'Consensus' vice presidential candidate, said his coalition lodged a complaint because they had thought that Momentum would large amounts of money on advertising in the University Daily Kansas.
"There is no logic in that whatsoever," he said.
Tpoeporten said he and Kevin Walker, Momentum's student body presidential candidate, were still concerned with elections tampering. Momentum poll watchers be stationed at all five polling places during the two-day election, he said.
"We plan on watching those polls very closely," Teporten said.
According to campaign audits, however, Momentum has purchased no Kanan advertising.
Momentum presidential candidate Kevin Walker said he was pleased with the results of the audit even though the findings were not yet final.
"I think we definitely had a more effective campaign, and we spent less money," he said.
The Impact Coalition spent $199.56 on its campaign, about two dollars less than its campaign spending limit of $201.18. The Reach Coalition, limited to spending $261.24 in the campaign, spent $128.16. The Introspection Coalition, with a spending limit of $328.58, spent $241.67.
Altogether, the five coalitions spent $2,911.27 in the month-long campaign. A number of independent candidates spent an additional $47.12.
The spending limits are determined on the basis of the number of constituents for each Senate seat. Each candidate may spend 3 cents a person, except for off-campus senators who may spend $35.
Student senate candidate accused of plagiarism
By DON KNOX Staff Reporter
Student Senate candidates from the Introspection Coalition claimed yesterday that a quotation the Momentum Coalition used on posters was plagiarized from Richard Nixon's "Checkers Speech."
Last night, however, David Teoporen. Momentum vice presidential candidate, emphatically denied the accusations.
Chales Lawnhorn and James Jeffey,
Introspection the only candidates, said
Tepoorten plagiarized a quotation from the famous Nixon speech, delivered Sept. 23, 1952, from Los Angeles, Calif. At the time, Nixon was a vice presidential candidate from the Republican Party.
Lawhorn and Jeffrey first accused Teporten of plagiarism at a presidential debate last week at McColm Hall. He also provided documentation for the claims.
IN THE SPEECH, which was broadcast nationwide, Nixon said: "I feel that the people have got to have
confidence in the integrity of the men who run for that office and who might obtain it. I have a theory, too, that the best and only answer to a smear or to an honest misunderstanding of the facts is to tell the truth."
On a Momentum poster distributed throughout campus, Teoporento is quoted as saying: "Every student must have confidence in the integrity of their government. The best and only way to achieve this is through a popular demand for the maintenance of a truthful government."
through a total of 10 volumes of Nixon's presidential papers, and we have called Richard Nixon's offices in New York. The Checkers Speech has to be where the idea for Teoptoon's quote came from."
Jeffrey said that although the quote did not appear to be plagiarized verbatim from Nixon, he contended that rewriting an idea or a notion from another person's work was still plagiarism.
Lawhorn said, "We have been
"THIS IS a very famous speech." Lawhern took. "Any political science
major worth his salt would know the content of this speech."
After the McCollum Hall debate, Teoorten said, "If something came out of my head that sounded like a cry," he said, then what can I say. Big deal."
Jim Cramer, Consensus Coalition vice presidential candidate, said he had read the Nixon speech, but he said, "I was close enough to call it pliarism."
Cramer said he thought the accusation should not be an issue in this week's elections.
