The Orange and Blue Party has launched a petition to persuade the Board of Trustees, UF's highest governing body, to vote against controversial changes to the Student Conduct Code.
The petition targets revisions that deal with proposed bans on drinking games and common-source alcohol containers, such as kegs and beer balls, at university-sponsored events.
More than 100 students have signed the petition so far, which launched Friday, said Sam Miorelli, the party's president.
"The point of (the petition) is to show that a monumental number of students are against these revisions," Miorelli said.
The board's Educational Policy and Strategy Committee will discuss the changes in a conference call Monday afternoon from 2 to 2:30.
Members of the public who want to listen to the meeting can do so in room 239 of Tigert Hall.
If the committee passes the regulations, a full meeting of the board will be scheduled to approve them.
"Soon you will consider some of the most extensive changes to University Regulations ever," the petition states.
"While we understand the concern administrators have for our safety as students, it is not the University's place to regulate our personal lives. The University has no business regulating the legal consumption of alcoholic beverages by its students."
Miorelli said his party hopes to collect as many signatures as possible and present them to trustees some time before they vote on the changes next week.
Janine Sikes, UF spokeswoman, said the board will take the petition into account when they vote.
However, she said, the board has already heard the concerns expressed by the party.
She said UF believes the party is "mischaracterizing the changes."
In addition to collecting signatures in person, the party has an online version of the petition at http://orangeandblueparty.com.
