Panies- (T], Together; [L], Life; [VJ, Voice. Sandy Lard, winner of SUUSA 's presidenLial election, gets a victory hug during the election dance last night. Heaton, Pearce win VP slots Sandy Lord edged ou t Tory Adair by a mere 26 votes in Wednesday's General Election to win the 1992-93 SUUSA p residency. Lord garnered 586 of the 1,140 ballots cast. "I can't believe it," Lord said last night following the announcement. " I'm still going 'no way. ' If people didn't believe in me I wouldn't be here." Lord said she thinks SU needs to "be bonded as a school, so you know the student body president personally, and can come into my office.'' Lord added, " The whole key is unity, enthusiasm and desire. If you have that desire, anything is possible.'' Adair said he plans to stay involved, perhaps through a position in the p resident's cabinet. "There's a lot of goals I'd like to see finished, so I think I'll get a chance." He noted that he' d like to see the internship program, his special project, implemented. Based on performance in the primary election, the vice presidential races held few surprises with David Heaton sweeping the academic vice presidential race from under Craig Marchant and with Lisa Pearce swamping Penny Shelton for the activities VP slot. Heaton took the lead over M archant by 103 votes and Pearce pulled away from Shelton by a margin of 275 . Heaton said, " I want to get to work as soon as spring quarter starts. I' m sorry Tory didn ' t win, but I'm ready to work with Sandy, she'll do a good job. " Pearce said she is eager to begin selecting her STAB staff and plans to begin implementin g her plans for activities as soon as she takes office. Although it's not her official role, Pearce said she also wants to encourage students to get to know• their senators early. Nearly 31 percent of SU's stu dent body braved long lines to cast ballots, not only for SUUSA leaders but fo r a proposed Constitutional amendment, which was added to the ballot following Tuesday's SUUSA Senate meeting. The amendment, which passed 738 to 142, will allow for a quorum to consist of only nine members of the senate's 12, thus allowing bills to be passed by a majority of five. Also, with the minimum quorum present, only seven senate votes are needed to override a presidential veto. The amendment returns the SUUSA Constitution (CONTINUED ON PAGE 3) |
