Election Students pull out of election By David Barry Daily staff writer On the first day of the election, ballots and tur- moil were both being cast. Associated Students Election Board member Matt Schember said votes for Todd Worthe. who is listed on the ballot as an ASAP candidate for director of student services, will not be counted by the elec- tion board. Guillermo "Bill" Campos, the Hedonistic Opportunist Guild's candidate for director of ethnic affairs, was taken off the ballot. A journalism professor said the Responsible Alliance party violated copyright law by putting a cartoon on one of its fliers. The election hoard made the decision to not count Worthe's votes Wednesday. after hearing Worthe did not want to be on the ballot and would not accept the position if elected. Worthe, who was not on ASAP's original slate of candidates and was asked to replace Bruce Mob. Icy, said he decided not to run two weeks ago, but was kept on the ballot by Susan Chargin, ASAP pres- idential candidate. "I was told by Susan Chargin to stay on the bal- lot because they would receive had press if I left." Worthe said. Chargin denied the claim. "We had discussed keeping Todd's name on the ballot. but after talking with him we decided it would be best if he did not run with us." Chargin said.
