Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on a freshman election review and a campus talk about U.S. military policy.
- The News-Letter reported that election officials reviewed the freshman presidential results using STV, and that Christal Ng remained the winner with 114 votes after Saul Garlick’s votes were transferred.
- The article says BoE co-chair Mary Keough supported the transfer because of controversy and questions about whether Ng had rightfully won.
- The paper reported that Richard Aseltine used Microsoft Excel for the process and repeated the transfers five times to verify the results.
- The reporter writes that about 15 people attended Yossi Olmert’s terrorism talk, where, according to attendee Bita Azhdam, he said a war with Iraq was inevitable.
- The article adds that Olmert said the United States should encourage Israel to respond without military force if Iraq attacked it with missiles or biological weapons.
