Forget an endorsement, why not a reminder?

First, there was violation 2:

For sign policy violation, the Genesis Party must remove all posters from Amos Eaton within 24 hours. The Genesis Party will no longer be allowed toposter inside or on Amos Eaton for the duration of the election.

Then came violation 3, which is legally classified as theft:

For use of Union resources through the Rensselaer Student Union Club Printer through the Senate’s account to print approximately 30 printouts of campaign material between 11:21pm on 03/07/05 and 3:57am on 03/08/05 the following sanctions have been posted for the Genesis Party:
1. No Genesis Party posters may be placed in or on the Union for the duration of the election;
2. A $5 fine shall be paid to the Rensselaer Student Union;
3. 1 additional hour of GM Week service must be performed by one of the officers of the Genesis Party. This service may only be performed during Campus Cleanup.

And then violation 5, petty by comparison, but still a violation:

Max Yates and Peter Baldwin have been found in violation for lacking contact information on multiple posters throughout campus. The following sanctions have been posted for both candidates:
1. All signs in violation must be removed within 24 hours;
2. All Max Yates and Peter Baldwin signs must be removed from the DCC and CII area by 8am on Wednesday April 6, 2005.

And then violation 6:

Peter Baldwin has been found in violation of the regulations of the Commons, as they have asked no candidate to solicit signatures in the dining area. As such, the following penalties have been conferred upon the candidate:
1. Nomination petitions 20 and 27 have been invalidated;
2. An additional 36 valid nomination signatures above the 500 signatures required for the office of President of the Union must be submitted to the Rules and Elections Committee.

And then violation 7:

Peter Baldwin has been found to be in violation of the following:
1. The decision of both the Resident Dining Director of the Commons and later by the Committee on March 30, 2005 was reiterated in Violation 6: no candidate was to solicit nominations in the Commons dining area, effective March 30, 2005.
2. The following portions of the Honor Code:
· I will uphold the right of every qualified student to full and equal participation in the electoral process.
· I will not abuse the process of the Rensselaer Union Student Government Elections.

The following sanctions have been issued for Mr. Baldwin:
1. For each instance of entering the Commons dining area during which nominations were solicited by Mr. Baldwin, the value of the cost ofentrance must be added to his expense form.
2. Mr. Baldwin must obtain an additional 150 nomination signatures to appear on the ballot for President of the Union.

[emphasis mine]

And those are just the ones RNE knows about. Should I ever take the time to write them an email, I might have a few more PDF files to post. Just as a reminder, the Genesis party is not only still on the ballot, but seems to have the GPS coordinates for every RNE soft spot.

Peter Baldwin has been granted an extension until Sunday, April 3, 2005 until 2pm. This is due to the upholding of the punitive penalty from Violation 6. As he is granted an extension, an additional penalty of 64 valid signatures shall be given to Mr. Baldwin. This brings Mr. Baldwin to a total of 600 valid signatures necessary to be on the ballot for President of theUnion.

Surely, this would be much easier to comprehend if the opposition were to master the art of existing and stopped rallying around a produce commodity, but in the course of three weeks, the Genesis party has ignored poster regulations, repeatedly entered off-limit areas and stolen from the student body. What idiocy they're capable of in a full year, given who's on their ticket, is anybody's guess. We can only wonder: if Genesis candidates have been paying so little attention to the rules, what attention do they plan on paying to the students?
