This year's election was not troubled by the computer difficulties that caused a 16-hour delay in the results in the spring.

"The Election Commission had the tally one hour after the voting period ended," said Yoni E. Braude '99, press and publicity liaison for the commission.

"The program worked wonderfully, like butter," he said.

Winning without their running mates, both Rawlins and Price said they were looking forward to working together next semester.

"I'm thrilled about the chance to work with Mark. Mark and I are friends," Rawlins said.

Price agreed, saying, "I think one of my greatest assets is that I have a great ability to work with everyone. [The candidates have] all been very cordial to each other."

Several council members were also hopeful about the pairing of the two different executives.

"Hopefully, the election of Rawlins and Price without their running mates will discourage this ticket business in the future," said council parliamentarian Justin E. Jones '98.

"I think they will work a lot better now that they've come from two different sources," he said.

Council member Sarah K. Hurwitz '99 said she hoped the two leaders will complement each other in their views and leadership styles.

"I don't necessarily think they'll be pushing conflicting agendas. I think they'll learn to work together," she said.

Referendum Goof

Students logging into their e-mail accounts to vote on the Undergraduate Council budget referenda yesterday found the position paper arguing against the issue missing, a mistake that some council members said will skew the results.

"The referendum is completely invalid [if the other position paper is not inserted]. I would feel the same way if only the con side was up," said Sam Spital '00.

The missing paper was inserted into the program early this morning and other council members said the glitch will not significantly skew the results because very few people usually vote on the first day.
