Runoff Election to be Held for Senior Officers
By Hanna Gordola and Meghan Smith

Two candidates for senior class president and their running mates have one more week of campaigning left.

Juniors Meg Petersen and Doug Weiss are headed for a runoff election. Peterson earned 20 votes more than Weiss, but that wasn't enough to win a simple majority. That's because Jonathan Friedman and running mate Barry Turner earned about 330 votes. Now Petersen and Weiss have one more week to win over the juniors. Both say they're happy to be in a runoff.

So what’s the next week going to be like for them?

"It's going to be crazy… It's going to be really crazy,” Petersen said. “Just trying to remind everyone to vote again on Tuesday. That'll be the most important part."

"We're just really excited that we got to this next step,” Weiss said. “I'm really glad that students kind of connected with our platform. And we just have to make up 20 votes, and I think that's something we can do.”
