By ART LERNER The Student Government Council Credentials and Rules Board last night found SGC presidential candidate B i l1 Thee in violation of the SGC election code for exceeding the $100 market value limit on campaign expenses. The board voted to impound all campaign materials remaining in Thee's possession and to enjoin Thee and his supporters from ac- quiring any additional campaign materials. The board also fined Thee $80.64 but it suspended $40.64 of the fine. The board also heard a complaint last night from SGC candidate Brad Taylor against The Daily for allegedly misrepresenting t h e status of an SGC candidate. The hearing last night follow- ed a preliminary hearing Thurs- day night on the complaint, filed by SGC member Marnie Heyn against Thee. The board found Thee's official campaign expenditures amounted to $140 - including $39 for ma- terials which have not been used - $40 above the $100 limit on the fair market value of campaign expenditures. The board ruled that unused materials in Thee's case should be included in actual campaign ex-! penses because they may have been of value to Thee in planning election strategy and because they were made for a specific election. The board ruled, however, that '"since the unused material was not of as much benefit as the material that was used" the value of the unused material was calculated at two-thirds of its actual fair mar- ket value. Thee and his supporters spent $120 on 500 silkscreen posters only 30 of which have been distributed.' Thee said he had originally planned to use the 500 silkscreen posters but changed his mind after receiving them. It was only then, Thee said. that he arranged for the production of See SGC, Page 10 { Idl-I T highlands to large concentration To meet what appeared to be a centers is continuing as planned, mounting threat to the northern despite sharp differences of opin- front, the Saigon command an- ion among the United States' civil nounced several battalions of fresh operations personnel in Vietnam.

Here, Chavez told a news conference that UFWOC will seek immediate i .1 negotiations with 75 Salinas Val- ley growers who signed contracts with the Teamsters last summer. "The greatest problem we face now is trying to get those growers to talk with us. That is the key," Chavez told a crowd-filled hall in the Salinas Labor Temple. If they respond that they have Teanster contracts, Chavez said, "that means we are going to boy- cott and strike this spring." In Washington William L. Kirch- er, AFL-CIO organizing director, said the agreement provides that Teamsters will drop any contracts with lettuce growers covering field workers. And Chavez said "it was implied they would rescind their contracts" in the Salinas Valley. "If they try to hide behind the Teamsters contracts and refuse to drop them even though the Team- sters ask them to, there could be renewed boycotting," Kircher said., Teamsters officials were un- available for comment. The agreement, extending to, March 31, 1973, calls for referring a dispute first to the U.S. Roman Catholic Bishops Committee on Farm Labor. If the committee fails to resolve the issue, it will be referred to Meany and Fitzsimmons and fin- ally to arbitrators appointed by them for "final and binding arbi- tration." Chavez said the UFWOC and Teamsters leaders will start talks next week on the toughest immed- iate issue. This is the Teamsters Union contract with Bud Antle, Inc., one of the nation's largest lettuce growers. The Teamsters have held a contract with Antle since 1961 covering about 1,500 workers. The boycott in major cities has been directed at Antle lettuce. The Teamsters countered 1 a s t month by refusing to handle in major city terminals lettuce ship- ped by growers with UFWOC con- tracts.

The 48th annual convocation at Hill Auditorium recognized nearly 3,600 undergraduates who compiled grade point averages of at least 3.5 over the past year. "There is a prevailing mood of -pride and embarrassment at this convocation," Keast said, "for we feel there is something anachronistic about holding an honors convocation." Apathy plagues LSA 'By CHUCK WILBUR Daily News Analysis With a scarcity of candidates and an in- effective government, next week's LSA stu- dent government election seems to be of little significance to students. The lack of candidates is perhaps the most obvious indication of literary college 4tudents' disinterest in the election. LSA students voting in the election Tues- day and Wednesday will find only one slate of presidential and vice-presidential candi- dates and only 10 other neonle running for The LSA student government - repre- senting over 15,000 of the University's 38,000 students-was established after a referen- dum last spring approved the idea. The government's current officers and 10 execu- tive council members were elected at that time.

According to Bridges, LSA government also failed to obtain student support by fail- ing to concentrate on specific academic issues. He feels the government should focus on issues it can deal with in order to in- crease the credibility of the government. "You've got to make yourself legitimate before people will support you," says Bridges. The majority of LSA students, says Bridges. are not concerned with political 1 t I f i i I .. . . } .:.> ->: & "Such a convocation," he stated, 1 "may to some seem elitist and un- democratic." "And, it seems ironical," he added, "that at a time when we are trying to do away with prefer- red status in education and hous- ing, and are attempting to expose and eliminate exclusion in our so- ciety, we continue to set apart the academically superior." However, Keast said, an honors convocation provides an ideal of excellence which reminds people what they can accomplish. "We can break down barriers," Keast said, "yet we must still know what is truly excellent." IOnly then, Keast asserted, we can strive for "an egalitariaism of excellence" and "a universal elitism. The' students honored, he said, should not be embarrassed because they are singled, out, but should look at their awards as "a mea- sure of our failure to close this ironic gap."
