Student Court Orders Recount of Frosh Votes
Page 3
The Student Court last night ruled that the ASC elections committee will have to recount the ballots from last Fall's freshman election within 10 days.
Kirk Cottingham, Newton senior and chairman of the elections committee, had been previously ordered by an injunction of the Student Court to refrain from destroying the ballots. As of the Court's unanimous decision last night, Cottingham and his committee will hold a recount.
The law students representing Cottingham in the trial said that this was an election dispute and according to ASC laws, the election committee had the right to settle the dispute.
The prosecuting attorneys disagreed and said that the rule which gives the committee the right to settle disputes could not be in effect.
"An ASC law clearly states that a candidate shall receive a majority to be elected," Lee Woodard, Wichita second year law student and one of the prosecuting attorneys said.
"If the ballots were not counted properly, then it would follow that the committee would not have the power to settle disputes. In other words, it is the prosecution's belief that the committee must follow the rule regarding the counting of the ballots before it can settle any disputes."
Reuben McCornack, Abilent freshman and a losing candidate for freshman class president, requested an injunction in the December session of court to prohibit Cottingham from destroying the ballots. Cottingham abided by the court's injunction.
McCornack said that he petitioned the court for the injunction because Cottingham and the ASC elections committee did not follow ASC election laws in counting the ballots.
"Only the first place votes were counted." McCornack said. "An ASC law states that second preference votes are also to be counted."
McCornack said that he petitioned the court for the injunction because he felt that there might a chance that different candidates should have been elected to the offices of vice president and treasurer.
"There's nothing in it for me," he said. "I realize I lost the election. I don't think that there's much doubt that the elected candidates for president and secretary received a majority. My concern is over the votes cast for vice president and treasurer."
