Palmitessa seeks
to void complaints
By Rich Burr
Ot Iff Emar aid
ASUO Elections Director Gus
Palmitessa is trying to cancel the
constitutionally required elections
court hearings, former ASUO
presidential candidate Jeffrey
Houston charged Tuesday
Houston said Palmitessa asked
him to withdraw his six campaign
violation complaints. Palmitessa
is also trying to get other com
plaints withdrawn, added Hous
ton. a senior in Russian
Houston said he would not
withdraw his complaints and
would “put pressure to bear" to
hold the elections court The
ASUO should do likewise to keep
student elections clean, he ad
ded
“I'm trying to preserve the in
tegrity of the electoral process,"
Houston said
“Gus told me to keep my eyes
open for violations and now he's
telling me to withdraw them ." he
said
Palmitessa said Monday it was
unnecessary to prosecute viola
tions now that the elections are
over He was not available for
comment on Tuesday.
court proceedings
A complaint calling tor sanc
tions imposed against Palmitessa
has been withdrawn, plaintiff Ed
mundson said The sanctions
were withdrawn because Palmi
tessa is graduating in one week
and because the elections direc
tor ‘looks silly enough already,”
he said
Edmundson said he now wants
the elections board to make a
policy decision cm the elections
director's role The position
should be either a discretionary
job — “do whatever you please,
as Gus interpreted" — or an ad
ministrative job with limited auth
ority, he said
Since the sanctions complaint
has been withdrawn, the court
may now make an objective deci
sion without directly condemning
Palmitessa, Edmundson said
The Emerald question placed
on the general ballot by Palmites
sa sets a dangerous precedent for
future election directors, he said
Since immediate action was ta
ken on his complaint, he is not
interested in pursuing the cam
paign violation, said Alan
‘Gus told me to keep my eyes open. . .now
he’s telling me to (close) them. ’
Palmitessa has withdrawn all
his personal complaints to ex
pedite matters, said Alan Con
treras, ASUO vice president for
program administration
Election court member Julie
Bell said fellow court member Jeff
Boiler told her the court will meet
as scheduled Wednesday at 7
pm
Another reason the court may
be cancelled is because of the
schedule for law school final ex
ams, said Jim Edmundson, a law
student who has filed a campaign
violation against Palmitessa The
elections court consists of third
year law students (one of whom
recently resigned) who have final
exams starting Saturday, he said
Bob Needham, formerly of the
elections court, said he resigned
about two weeks ago because as
EMU Board chairer he had time
consuming budget matters that
would affect the attention given to
Scearce, EMU Board member
elect The complaint has not been
formally withdrawn.
The campaign violations filed
against ASUO Pres Rich Wilkins
have not been withdrawn, said
Bruce Beckwith and Bryan Hurtt,
who filed two of the five
complaints against Wlkins
If the elections court is not
convened, Houston said he will
file student conduct violation
complaints against Palmitessa
“I would nail his ass," he said
Houston said Palmitessa
strained their friendship by openly
campaigning for ASUO presiden
tial candidate Debbie Mellow dur
ing the primary elections and al
lowing her to use ASUO-funded
resources, Houston said Palmi
tessa asked him not to file com
plaints, he said
"He pledged me to secrecy on
the Emerald question,” Houston
added “I thought he was joking."
