Bill Miner, left, and Ben Unger will step into the ASUO presidency and vice presidency, next year.
■ ELECTIONS: The pair will
automatically advance to office as
they pick up the majority vote of the
primary election
By Angie Suchy
Student Activities Editor
This pair has been “all over the place”
during the last month, Bill Miner said.
And that’s why Miner and Ben Unger
received more than half the votes in the

to automatically

“From the greek
system to all the

to the dorms, we
pounded the

said.
The rigorous
campaigning was
enough for the
duo to narrowly
win the election
— and five re

the win on Satur

submitted a written request for a recount,
Miner said.
“The counts were so close, we felt that
to ensure fairness, five would be an accu
rate number," said Dave Whipple, ASUO
Elections publicity coordinator. “We’ve
spent over 40 hours on this to ensure ac
curacy.”
Miner said the last time president and
vice presidential candidates obtained
over a 51 percent voter margin in the pri

Bobby Lee ran.

International Night celebrates 30 years of success
■ CELEBRATION: International Night
1997 continues a tradition of
education, fun and culture
By Carl Yeh
Freelance Editor
At first sight, International Night 1997
was suspiciously similar to last year’s
event — same EMU Ballroom, same video
camera setup and same maximum capaci
ty crowd. However, what made this year’s
celebration of diversity different were new
performances, more variety in food, differ
ent countries represented and more volun
teers, said Julius Darmali, International
Students Association (ISA) co-director.
Last year 150 performers and volunteers
were involved overall. This year, more stu
dent unions, as well as more community
members were involved.
The theme of the 34th annual Interna
tional Night was “Perspectives.” The coor
dinators of the program were hoping to
bring those perspectives to the University
community.
“Long lasting friendships are forged by
the diverse people cooperating on this pro
ject," Darmali said.
“We really thank all the student volun
teers for making this possible. The biggest
challenge every year is to get people com
mitted to donating the time needed to
make this a world-class performance,” he
said. “We are in our 34th year, and we re
ally are world-class.”
“I'll be excited when I see the smiles on
people’s faces when it’s all over. They are
