January 14, 1994

Dear WLUSU/WLUSP Election 94 candidates:

If you want your photograph and platform to be included in the Cord's January 27 Election pull-out please take note of the following guidelines.

Platforms must be submitted at the closing of the All-Candidates meeting on Tuesday January 25. Absolutely no platforms will be accepted after this time. The only time platforms will be printed will be in the January 27 election pull-out.

A photograph session will immediately follow the submission of platforms. If your agent is attending the meeting for you, make sure that you supply your agent with a picture of yourself. There will be no retake session. Due to production constraints, the photo session will last no longer that 45 minutes after the close of the All-Candidates meeting. The only way you can submit a photograph is if you cannot be at the All-Candidate's meeting. If you are in attendance and want your picture in the Cord

- you have to have a picture taken.

Platforms can be submitted in two forms only. You can come to the Cord office anytime before the Tuesday of the All-Candidates meeting and type your platform directly into the Cord's files. The other method is to hand your platform in on disk at the close of the All-Candidates meeting.

Platforms on disk must be on an IBM format, 5.25" or 3.5" disk. Your name, position sought, and name of file containing your platform must be written on the disk and be on the first line of the platform itself. Only text, WordPerfect, and Word for Windows formats will be accepted. No formatting will be allowed. This includes: underlining, italics, boldfacing, and other such things. Disks can be picked up from the Cord offices on Thursday, January 27.

Presidential platforms must be no longer than 400 words. Vice-presidential platforms must be no longer than 250 words. Board of Director platforms must be no longer than 100 words. Platforms exceeding the above mentioned lengths will be cut off at the respective word limit. Your name and position sought will not be counted towards length of platform.

The only editing of the platforms that will take place will be to eliminate formatting and to truncate for length if necessary. Spelling, grammar, and factual errors will not be corrected. All platforms must conform to the Cord Code of Ethics.

Good luck,

Sheldon Page Editor-in-Chief
