Sarah Orr, a Behrend student and member of Reality Check, organized the dinner. Orr said that she got the idea last fall during Second Harvest's Bread Box Awards.

Hansen and Hamm congratulated the winners on a hard fought election. The only other contested posi tion in this year's election was for SGA secretary. Bridgette Ramdhanie won convincingly, 177-97, over Cori Lesniak. Last year, the secretary position was uncontested. "1 am glad that I won the elec tion because it means the student body supports me. I will support them in turn," said Ramdhanie, who ran on a platform stressing her experience and dedication. Only nine students ran for posi tions as SGA senators for 2001- 2002.

"Commuters don't get involved in campus life because people at Behrend don't care about commuter life," said Lafferty. Lafferty also thinks low turnout is a result of this misrepresenta tion. "The reason commuters don't vote is because they don't have much representation in SGA. FROM FRONT PAGE ARC BLOWOUT The Blow Out will begin at 3:00 or 4:00 p.m.; the final time is still undecided.
