APRIL 14. 1978 Student officials blamed in foul up By MATT MANZELLA Several members of the student government from the two UConn schools which did not vote in Tuesdays and Wednesday's student trustee elections were blamed and called "irresponsible" by the secretary of the Student Trustees Elections Committee (STEC). Thursday. Terry Donovan, also vice chairman of the Federation of Students and Service Organizations (FSSO). said election results will be delayed at least until next Tuesday because students from UConn's School of Social Work and the UConn Medical School still have to vote on April 17 and 18. Donovan said the students from the school of social work did not vote on schedule because a member of the student government there. Bob Ouellette who was the school's STEC representative, had forgotten about the dates scheduled. The student government at the Medical School, out of "sheer ignorance", didn't even bother to send a representative to the STEC meetings, and remained in the dark about the details of the elections. Donovan added. According to a mandate issued by the UConn Board of Trustees, each branch of the University is required to have a representative on STEC. yet the Medical School student Staff Photo by Steve McGuff faUcd ,0 Send one- Yes.
