ly. During this election, four candidates will be chosen to represent the students ofWhittier College.
After the election, three candidates received violation penalties. Brian Brown received four,
while Nate Goetz and David Stimler each received 10. The penalties were taken finanically and no
votes were taken away.
According to Julie Lippincott,
the election board chair, overall
the "elections have been great.
Candidates have taken responsi-

bility for their campaigns and there
have been a lot less violations as a
result."
Reuban Rodriguez, COR advisor, felt that the "elections have
gone very smoothly and the election committee handled everything very well."
According to some observers
though, the election was not so
smooth. In addition to posters
remaining hung after the election
deadline and near the ballotbox,
some were accused of "suggesting" candidates to unsure voters
while in front of the ballot box.
Once discovered, the possible violation was remedied by the presence of Rodriguez.
