News 'ampaign propaganda lining GCB walls Tight Race Puts Jerath at Head of New Senate Twenty-seven voles separated the candidates during the 1988 election to establish a new AUSA Senate when Vandna Jerath and Rob Marinaro were voted into the offices of president and vice president Jerath and Marinaro defeated Sharon Sherman and Scott Skorobohaty by such a narrow margin, the votes were tallied twice, said former AUSA President Chuck Munden. The tally was the same each time. Jerath. a sophomore pre-med major, and Marinaro. a junior majoring in English, both served on Senate this year and feel they have the experience to be effective leaders. ‘The first thing I want to do is to get all the new senators to know each other” Jerath said. “We will start by working externally to make the workings of the Senate known to the campus. Jerath and Marinaro's goals for Senate are very open for student input. We re not going in with dead-set promises.” Jerath said. We want to be flicxiblc and work with the students. They need to be more aware of what we do and be more involved with what we do. “I was really pleased with the voter turnout,” said Munden of the 847 ballots cast. “Just under one-third of the undergraduate population voted.” Munden said. It was the best turnout in the last four years. Sixteen new AUSA Senators were elected. They arc: Kim Cooper. Ashlcigh Lynn Taylor. Dave Havclka. Clifford Whitehouse. Tim Garland. Julie Kauf-mann. Chcri Danski. Stephan Rothe. Scott Aschcrmann. Amy VanOrman. Mike Moberg. Jon Green. Steve Glavcz. James (J R.) Sheridan. Raymond Forbes, and Chris Masterson. None of the members of this year’s Senate sought re-election. John Dolan and Tom Ahart were elected to the Board of Contingency. Munden is confident that Jerath and Marinaro are both knowledgeable about the system and will do a good job. By Shelley Read
