ASB announces 2014 personality election candidates LOGAN KIRKLAND & MAGGIE MCDANIEL thedmnews@gmail.com
The University of Mississippi announced the 2014 personality election candidates Sunday. The elections include candidates running for Mr. and Miss Ole Miss, homecoming queen, homecoming maids and class favorites. Kelly Savage, Associated Student Body attorney general in charge of the elections this year, said she thinks the personality elections serve an important role for the campus. “I think our university and Ole Miss community really gets excited about these personality elections,” Savage said. “It’s exciting to see who
the leaders on our campus are going to be, the people that are going to represent our university at homecoming and also as the name sake throughout the next year.” Savage said during the personality elections meeting Sunday that the rules for campaigning are in place to avoid distractions in the academic environment. “The (classrooms) are places for learning, not a place for campaigning,” Savage said. For example students are not allowed to campaign at all during classes, and only one flyer per candidate can be posted in an academic building. Savage also explained a few more rules about cam-
paigning during the meeting in regard to social media. In addition to campaigning to individuals directly, candidates are now allowed to use applications such as Snapchat and Groupme to campaign to students. According to the ASB Constitution and Code, there are qualifications each candidate must have in order to be able to run in the elections. Miss Ole Miss and Mr. Ole Miss have to have 60 completed semester hours and 12 of those hours must have been completed at Ole Miss. Each candidate must have a minimum 3.0 GPA and have completed 10 hours of community service in the one year
