Delta Force claims 27 Senate seats
BY KATY BLAIR
Delta Force found a reason to celebrate despite losing the presidency and vice presidency.
Before the results were completely announced on KJHK, students at the Delta Force party were getting excited, and were preparing to open champagne. Delta Force won 13 of 14 junior/senior Senate seats.
"We got a lot of Senate seats; that's really important." John Cross, Kansas City, Mo., junior and presidential nominee for Delta Force, said.

From far right, John Cross, presidential nominee, vice-presidential nominee Liz Stuewe and other members listen as election results are called. Delta Force won more seats than ever before.
Cross said he was disappointed that Delta Force didn't win the top two seats, but remained positive for the party's future on campus.
Liz Stewe, Lawrence junior and vice presidential nominee, said she was pleased with the work Delta Force had put into the campaign.
The platform most important to Stewe was getting free sexually transmitted disease and infection testing at Watkins Health Center
for students. Delta Force also campaigned for expanding the bluelight system off-campus and making the bus system more convenient for students.
"I'm looking forward to doing the things we said we were going to do on our platform, getting them done," Murphy said.
Phillip Murphy, Lawrence graduate student and an elected graduate school student senator, said it was a successful campaign without the president and vice president seats.
Delta Force won 27 seats for school student senators. It received 40 percent of the vote for president and vice president, as opposed to Students' Rights' 7 percent, and United Students' 51 percent.
After the election, results were completely announced, the radio was turned off so party members and supporters could congratulate Cross on his hard work.
he was grateful for their support.
Cross said that regardless of the outcome, everyone in the room had contributed to the campaign, and

Students' Rights sees progress in defeat
BY DANAE DESHAZER
Johnathan Wilson and Caitlin Ballard awaited anxiously with approximately 10 Students' Rights senator nominees at El Mezcal on 23rd Street for the Student Senate announcements.
After a large AMP energy drink, Wilson, Paola sophomore and Students' Rights presidential nominee, said that his heart was racing and that he was extremely nervous. Ballard, Overland Park junior and vice-presidential nominee, agreed.
"After everything you've sacrificed, it all comes down to a one-minute announcement," Ballard said.
The radio wasn't audible where the group was sitting, but after frantic cellular phone calls, the word came in — the Students' Rights nominees didn't win any seats in the senate. United Students won the president and vice-president seats, and Delta Force and United
Students occupied all of the remaining senate seats.
Ballard said she hoped the newly elected Student Senate would use Students' Rights platform about a textbook rental program.
"I just want it to be done, even if it's not by me." Ballard said.
Ballard said that it was hard being a smaller third party, but they hoped to be around a long time to gain more name recognition and respect.
Wilson said he was upset with the results, but, like Ballard, was not surprised.
"Going into it, I thought we could have a chance to get elected, but I knew we were up against fierce competition," Wilson said.
With only 15 senators on their ticket and no budget, Wilson said it made it difficult to win office. Both
candidates said they sacrificed a lot for the campain.
"It's not all for nothing, though," Wilson said. "We established a name."
Ballard was positive that her Senate involvement was not finished. She said that she and Wilson still wanted to have an influence on
the student community.
"You haven't seen the last of us," Ballard said.
