Koren elected freshman President
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 phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers the 2012 freshman class election and its results.
- The News-Letter reported that Alexander Koren was named Class of 2016 president and that six freshman SGA senatorial seats would go to Craig Heller, Larry Hou, Jahan Mirchandani, Kanami Mori, Amy Sun and Kyra Toomre.
- The paper reported that 854 freshmen voted, or 64.3 percent of the class, and that Koren received 248 votes, or 29 percent of the presidential total.
- The article says 28 signatures on Niko Kotoulas’s petition used false names; CSE chair Michael Wu said Kotoulas was ineligible, while Kotoulas said he wished he had been notified sooner.
- The reporter writes that 16 candidates competed for the six senatorial seats, with Hou and Mori tied at 291 votes, and that the close results led to a second manual count and a delayed announcement.
- The article adds that candidate Larry Hou credited meeting classmates during campaigning, while Koren said he wanted to strengthen the class’s sense of connection.
