Mcfadden wins presidency by single vote By Richard Medugno By the slim margin of one vote, Donna McFadden was elected ASG President. McFadden needed only a simple majority to win the top office. She received just that, 122 votes or 51 %of the 242 ballots cast. The voting turnout was again disappointing. Only 2% of the total student body went to the polling place in the Student Union. McFadden 's closest opponent was a write-in candidate, Dale Heffernan, who received 69 votes or 36% of the vote. Heffernan's brother, Greg, also a write-in candidate , won the VicePresident spot on a ballot that had no one listed on the second office space. The Heffernans were disqualified by the Judicial Advocates for missing the ma ndatory meetings. Leo Mendez, who ran unopposed on the ballot due to the disqualification of Joy McClelland, who also missed the meeting, took the position of ASG Treasurer. Named to the Student Legislature by receiving at least 25 %ofthe votes cast were Bruce Schuknecht, Kathy Martin , Teresa Mills and Lorna Susan Maxwell. Schuknecht received the most votes of any candidate for office. A run-off election will take place next week for the 20 write-in candidates who did not receive the required 25% of the votes . The newly-elected officals will be seated in May for one year terms . The polls were manned by members of the Alpha Gamma Sigma club and the Judicial Advocates counted the ballots . "I was really surprised that I won beca use I was sick for two weeks of the election," stated McFadden . "I think it's a great achievement for myself since I've never been involved in Student Government before."
