APRIL 11, 2002 9 THE NATION FOR 1999 PAGE10 NAMED BEST COLLEGE NEWSPAPER Mi~ IN NEW YORK FOR 1999 ~1n1on Editorials Reinstate Solidaridad While claiming to represent the best interest of students, the Student Government Association Elections Committee has undermined the de­ mocratic process. The Solidaridad party was questionably disqualified from this year's SGA election for exceeding the maximum number of demerits. A total of 21 demerits was awarded to the party, 10 for allegedly violating the campus solicitation policy and I I for supposedly being untruthful. How­ ever, Solidaridad's actions did not merit disqualification. The first set of demerits was based on a letter Solidaridad circu­ lated among faculty, which the Elections Committee says violates the campus solicitation policy. While this decision is debatable, it is the second set of demerits that is truly unwarranted. Subsequent individual questioning of four party members about these actions resulted in 11 demerits. The interviewers claim they found in­ consistencies in the candidates' responses, amounting to dishonesty, which is a violation of the SGAelection policy. The committee should not have conducted separate interviews, but presented the grievance and asked for a formal response from the party. Without these added penalties, Solidaridad would still be in the running. The honorable members of SGA should act quickly to overturn the disqualification and reinstate Solidaridad's party status. The Elections ---..::::::::-- Committee's actions were unfair and cannot be defended by the rules -- laid out in the Elections Act.
