Ortega, Eric Flaherty, Kevin Mc
Donald and John Karl Arnold.
The elections were conducted at
the A-l Lounge and on the first
floor of the Pavilion. Friday’s run
offs will be conducted at the same lo
cations, with the polls to be open
from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. to all fresh
men showing a valid University ID
card, Moore said.
“Initially, the election commission
had planned on having the elections
in the MSC main lounge and at the
Pavilion,” he said.
“The voting at the A-l Lounge
was less than expected,” Moore said.
“The voting at the Pavilion outnum
bered the voting at the lounge by a
factor of nine to one.”
