STUDENT ELECTIONS * I fe ' like it s going to be one of the most important phases," student body president candidate J.J. Raynor said of the next two weeks before the election. But materials also mean restric tions that can result in fines for noncompliant campaigns. “I definitely expect to see a peak in campaign violations this week," Board of Elections Chairman Mitchell Capriglionc said. The board provides candidates with a list of approved campus locations for material distribution. All of the candidates said they are educating their volunteers about the restrictions, while the Board of Elections is planning on keeping an extra eye out for violations. Last year, student body president candidate Jon Kite was cited by the board for a nontraditional cam paign material —a satirical video that board members said misrepre sented the issues of the campaign.

The speech addressed the eco nomic problems of the last month and unsolved issues from Bush's term ranging from immigration to Social Security to the w ar in Iraq. Urging bipartisanship. Bush began by asking Congress to pass a $l5O billion economic growth package as quickly as possible to stimulate the economy in the face of the recent downturn that he deemed a slowing within a charac teristically strong economy. “If the economy were funda mentally strong, we wouldn’t be talking about a stimulus package." said John Quinterno, who works with economic policy at the N.C. Justice Center. “The past six years have not been all that particularly positive for working families."

Beyond the economy, the pres ident focused on messages that have become familiar through out his administration, including maintaining national security and winning the war in Iraq.
