ASG elections
Controversy haunts voting
By J. Dana Haynes
Of The Print
Controversy has arisen
over last week’s Associated
Student Government elections.
Presidential candidate Don
Porter was accused of elections
violations by members of the
ASG.

Despite the controversy,
the ASG unanimously voted to
accept the election results.
Porter did not win the
presidential race. The new
ASG president for 1983-84 will
be John Sagoe (Please see arti­
