major, Chris Barrett won the two
top positions.
Oddo beat out opponents Tom
Dekle and Glenn Buchfeller by
capturing 202 of the 443 votes
cast for the presidency. Dekle
“It certainly is encourag
ing to see more students
going out to vote.”

and Buchfeller had 132 and 119
votes, respectively.

results were released that he
was anxious to “get senators
motivated and working.”
Barrett defeated opponent Rob
Rejmaniak, a Humanities major,
by nearly a two to one margin
tallying 296 votes to Rejmaniak’s
147.
Barrett said that he sees one of
the top priorities for the new ad
ministration to be the formation
of a student sounding board to
listen to student input about up
coming issues like the semester
change and grading change.
Barrett said contact to each of
the departments will be made
througn each department’s
senators to obtain comment from
all facets of the campus.
