Election Results In Dispute Over Flier By Russell and Barbara Schropp Due to an alleged violation of the Student Election Code by candidate Russ Bauseh; the results of Tuesday's election for four representatives at large to the Stetson Union Board have been stayed by the Election Committee. The nature of the alleged offense concerns Bausch's use of a flier in his campaign that was printed on official stationary of the Stetson Student Assembly. Bauseh is a member of the Student Assembly. The flier was brought to the attention of the Election Committee by "quite a few people," according to Assembly president Deb Farmer. Farmer indicated that objection to the flier centered specifically on Section 9, Letter G of the Election Code, which reads: "Every printed, letter,. flier, poster, etc., shall bear the name of the person who authorizes its circulation and whose name appears on it, if other than the candidate." Farmer indicated that neither she nor the Student Assembly as a body had authorized Bausch's use of the Assembly stationary for the flier. Farmer went on to say that a special meeting of the Student Assembly had been called for 10 a.m. Wednesday (after printing deadline for the REPORTER) to decide whether to ratify the election results despite the allegation against Bauseh. If the Assembly rules against Bauseh, he could appeal the decision to the Student Affairs Committee (SAC) next Tuesday. If the Assembly rules in favor of Bauseh and ratifies the election results, the losers of the SUB race could also . .anneal to the SAC." The election in question was a 6-way race for four openings on the SUB. Bauseh was among the top four in votes received, although no official results or totals were released by the Assembly Tuesday night. Bauseh refused comment on the controversy, indicating that he preferred to wait and see what the Assembly decided Wednesday. In the other election Tuesday, Barbara, Calcavecchia defeated Denise Morris, 27-17, in the race for Emily Hall representative to the Assembly. The vacancy was created by January's election of Debby Miley to Assembly vice-president. Sevral "straw polls" were also conducted during the election, one of which gave overwhelming support to the Forest of Arden as the site of graduation. More extensive and variable hours o£ dorm visitation were also supported by large numbers, and a shuttle service to area airports was voted down by a slight margin in other straw poolls.
