This spring's election season has the distinction of being one of the most highly anticipated in years, as the Honor Committee has put several constitutional changes on the ballot that are guaranteed to stir up controversy. In the College of Arts and Sciences, it's a time of fierce campaigning between candidates for the Honor Committee, the Judiciary Committee and Student Council. In smaller schools of the University, however, the atmosphere is a bit different.
