A.S. ELECTIONS 2008 Student Voice! Pulls Expected Sweep; One Slot Under Question President, VP offices go to election’s lone slate. SV! candidate Ritcherson gets errant win in races for all-campus senator.

By Jesse Alm Associate News Editor

Members of the Student Voice! slate claimed a sweeping victory in last week’s campuswide election, cap- turing all A.S. executive offices and six of eight senatorial seats. SV!’s showing was less striking in college council races, but in A.S. Council contests, the slate’s domi- nance was so pronounced that one of its candidates, David Henry Ritcherson, won one of the all-campus senator spots even after dropping from the race several weeks ago. SV!’s success comes as no surprise in light of this year’s overwhelm- ing number of unopposed races. However, when the results were announced on April 11, SV! candidates reiterated their enthusiastic commitment to council collaboration to increase student representation. “I’m just looking forward to working with everyone,” SV! candidate some profit,” he said. restaurants. and A.S.
