Union Senate elections near completion
Brandeis students voted to choose senators to represent each of the resident quadrangles last night. First-years also voted to elect a Class of 2006 senator.Four of the senators received over 50 percent of the primary vote. Colin Rowan, Erica Lemansky, Nalini Bajaj and Russ Farbiarz were elected Ziv, Rosenthal, Ridgewood and Off-campus senators, respectively.
In the final round of voting, Andrei Khots, Pamela Hoffman, Aaron Miller, Daniel Mauer and Kenneth Gantz were elected East, Castle, Massell, North and Grad senators, respectively.
Sophomore Erica Lemansky, who was elected Rosenthal senator, views her role as that of a "liaison between the students and the Quad Director and Senate."
Aaron Miller, the first-year student just named Massell senator, won by a wide margin of 52 votes, receiving 128 out of 221 total votes.
Junior Kenneth Gantz, elected Grad senator, won by just 16 votes. "I really have a desire to see things get done," he said.
Two re-votes will be held, beginning tomorrow at 6 pm. The race for Mod senator ended in a tie, with Jacob Wolfsheimer and Ravi Chugani each receiving 33 votes. The Class of 2006 senator election is being rerun due to a technical error in the Internet voting system.
