Voice wins most seats
Presidential loss upsets coalition
By Heather Kirkwood
Kansan staff writer
Election night was like a roller coaster for the Voice coalition that ended in a subdued lull.
Voice candidates, who gathered at the Pi Kappa Alpha house, 2000 Stewart Ave., didn't seem to know whether to celebrate wining a majority of seats in Student Senate or to grieve losing the presidential and vice president race.
Voice presidential candidate Cesar Millan congratulated his coalition on a job well done. "We did do well," he told the crowd of about 50. "We did go out there and give it 110 percent. We did one hell of a job."
Millan said he hoped to encourage his coalition members who won to be the voice of the student body.
"I want to make sure they represent a student voice to the administration, the Legislature and the Board of Regents," Millan said.
Voice coalition candidates won 34 of the 66 Senate seats and had one candidate, Valerie Flood, Weir

sophomore, tie in the engineering race. The tie will be broken by a coin flip next week.
"I feel great," she said. "I'm surprised I'm not more upset, but we did a good job. We put together a full coalition for the first time in KU history of 65 candidates that were not on the inside from the beginning."
Bowman said that the experience taught her a lot of skills and that when she wakes up this morning she can be proud of what she has done.
"I didn't think I would be doing this at age 19." she said.
Bowman, who had been accused of tearing down a Vision campaign banner, did not directly comment on whether she thought the incident affected the election's outcome, except to say that she was angry that she had to spend crucial last-minute campaigning time defending herself against the charges.
Erin Rooney, Topeka junior, lost her bid to represent the journalism school and took the news hard.
"I don't know how much money I put into this, and I know I'll never be able to calculate the time," she said. "I guess I really feel I've missed out on a great opportunity."

Fraternity gets probation
Hazing in October leads to supervision of Alpha Epsilon Pi
By Lindsey Henry Kansan correspondent
The Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity has been placed on a two-year probation at the University of Kansas for a hazing incident that occurred in October.
University officials and fraternity members declined to comment on the specifics of the incident.
Bill Nelson, coordinator of greek programs for the Organizations and Activities Center, said members of Alpha Epsilon Pi would have to carry out a 10-point plan of corrective measures to be reinstated to good standing with the University.
The plan includes coordinating all fra
David Rozenberg, president of Alpha Epsilon Pi and Skokie, Ill. Junior, said the fraternity was surprised when they were questioned about the incident.
ternity activities with two University probation supervisors, meeting monthly with the supervisors, providing a revised new-member education program to the University and informing the parents of members about the probationary status.
All members also must sign a statement affirming their understanding of, and accordance with, risk-management policies of Alpha Epsilon Pi International Fraternity, as well as the anti-hazing statements of the Interfraternity Council and the University.
He said the incident occurred during a game played by pledges and members, and that he did not believe the incident fell within the University's definition of hazing.
"We believe that this is blown out of proportion, we are a good house that had a bad thing happen," Rosenberg said. "The University has expressed to us that
they are using us as an example for the prevention of serious hazing."
Rozenberg said the pledge, a 21-year old junior transfer student, had not attended KU since the end of last semester.
Nelson said the man contacted the assistant dean of student life in the fall regarding the incident but did not wish to file a formal complaint at that time. The man then changed his mind and decided to file his complaint earlier this semester.
Nelson said the nature of the Alpha Epsilon Pi hazing was significantly different and less severe than that of the Delta Chi fraternity, which was suspended last semester.
The difference in the two situations was the reason Alpha Epsilon Pi received probation, rather than a suspension.

"We are not losing any of our privileges," Rozenberg said. "When our national chapter found out, they wanted us to change some things. The University's probation included things we have already taken care of."
