"I'm excited ... I'm looking for- ward to another year here at the College," says Lyman from his current office as Vice-President of Finance. This year, the election had over 650 votes cast, roughly 12 per cent of the full-time student pop- ulation of 5,500. That number is up from last year's total of 51.1 votes. Lyman, who takes office July 1, says that his first order of business as the new president will be to spend the summer "getting up to speed on everything." "People don't realize how much goes into kick-off week and getting ready for the new students coming in," he says. Lyman says that he is particu- larly looking forward to RRC's new Princess Street campus, which he toured last week. "A campus in the business sec- tor will put you closer to busi- nesses. Students will get a chance to mingle with the people that are I going to hire you." Lyman's excitement contrasted with disappointment and frustra- tion from some of the defeated candidates. The election for the new execu- tive positions on the SA was not without problems. Lyman defeat- ed Daniel Kreutzer, for the presi- dency. "Even seeing Dan in the hall is a little awkward, but he's a good sport," Lyman says about his for- mer opponent. Kreutzer says he is discontented with the results of the elections. "Did I feel the elections were run right? No. There were issues... like the little cards that were used," Kreutzer says, referring to the business cards Lyman dis- tributed as part of his campaign. "All campaign material had to be down but the little cards were everywhere." Kreutzer isn't the only defeated candidate who sources his disap- pointment with the results of the April 11 election. Ethan Stock was declared win- ' ner of the Vice-President of Student Affairs position at the Rock the Vote kegger in the Cave on April 11. However, because Stock had won by such a small margin, Schubert Beaubrun requested a recount.
