AFTER THE GAME • 8:30 p.m.
Tuesday’s freshman elections re
sulted in runoffs in all races except
for Student Senate representatives.
Runoff elections will be held for
all other positions on Oct. 11.
A runoff election will be held be
tween presidential candidates Annie
Blanco, who received 175 votes, and
Blake McKinney, who received 309
votes.
Blanco said now that she is in the
runoff election, she has an even big
ger challenge ahead of her.
“I have to re-think my campaign
for presidency,” she said. “I have a
big challenge ahead of me because
Blake got more votes than I did.”
Vice presidential candidate David
Chumbley received 177 votes and
will enter the runoff election against
Chad Jones, who received 337 votes.
Jones said he felt really good
when he found out he had made it
to the runoffs.
“I worked really hard to get here,”
he said. “If I’m elected vice president,
I plan to get the Class of ‘98 off to a
good start by having a social so that
fish can get to know each other.
“I also want to have an off-cam
pus charitable fund-raiser to get
College Station and Bryan behind
the Class of ‘98.”
A runoff for treasurer will be held
for Jeff King, who received 227
votes, and Will Jenkins, who re
ceived 243 votes.
King said he was relieved when
he found out he had made it this far
in the election.
Historian candidate Jill Allison
received 408 votes and Robert
Sproat received 333.
A runoff election will be held for
the position of secretary between
Joel Foshea and Dan Cochran.
Runoff candidates fpr social sec
retary are Laura Beth Vogt, who re
ceived 275 votes, and Graham Up
ton, who received 156 votes.
Chelsey Ferguson, election com
missioner, said the election commis
sion had no problems with the elec
tion and they have not received any
complaints from the candidates.
“The polling workers were all
there and we have new ballot boxes
with locks,” she said.
Ferguson said the emergency elec
tion regulations which were passed
three weeks ago really helped.
“I think they woke up the elec
tion commission and made us work
better together as an organiza
tion,” she said.
Freshman senators are Carlos
Gancedo, Annie Blanco, Blake Hen-
shaw, Matthews Acock, Robert
Payne, Autumn Leveridge, and
Chris Johnson.
Leveridge said she is excited about
being elected a freshman senator.

Here, last month, 922 good people
got a pin prick, and earned
themselves $46,000 cash
....and helped people they never knew!
They sat back on big leather lounge chairs and
relaxed or studied for exams. They exchanged
recipes, talked about love, children, life,
happenings, boys, girls, politics, tomorrow, french
class, car repair, baseball, fishing,
and delivering kittens. In 60 minutes they were up
and away, cash in hand, feeling good.
You have never opened a door on a
friendlier place and the regular
extra money is very nice.
Everybody needs you.
