Confusion reigns in election

NCLC denied

MMMMMEMMME

(Continued from Page 1)
THE ALL-CAMPUS election code,
written in part by Schaper, re-'
quires that four assistant election:
directors be appointed by SGC.
No one, said Strauss, would vol-
unteer or be drafted to do the job.
Although Schaper, now a student
in Lansing, was originally hired as
an "adviser," Strauss said it was
soon after that he "began sticking
his nose in my business."
But Schaper claimed that "the
only time I helped Ron is when he
asked me to."
Schaper supervised the printing
and design of the ballots, includ-
ing who got on the ballot and in
what order, according to Strauss.
Subsequently, two names were
left off the ballot, Strauss added.
HE ALSO reported that Schaper
had possession of the ,ballots, and
used them as a whip to crack over
Strauss' head.
"Schaper said that if in any way
I screwed him working with the
election or getting things done his
way, he'd make sure the election
was found to be fraudulent and
ruined," said Strauss.
"I had to stay on his good side,
and be careful of what I did. He
would've withheld the ballots," he
continued.
Schaper denied having made the
threat.
WITH G R E E N' S resignation,
Strauss said he no longer feels
obligated to honor Schaper's $300
salary, despite their contract.
Strauss -said he may be paid $100.
"The only reason he's getting
paid at all is because Sandy mis-
led me," said Strauss.
Green, however, claimed he
never made, the authorization in
the first place.
"Schaper Palled me at 2 a.m.
and I. said I'd look into it. He told
Strauss later ,'d approved the pay-
ment,". Green said.
Schaper claimed he "doesn't re-
member" the conversation, and
added that "Strauss shouldn't have
signed the contract if he didn't
h a v e the authorikation f r o m
Greeni." r
THE ROMANCE with Schaper
was over when Strauss learned
Schaper was "using the election
equipment for other purposes" -
specifically, using the election U-
Haul to transport Campus Coali-
tion leaflets.
Strauss said Schaper was "or-
ganizing leaflets and campaigoi
strategy" for the party during this
time.
"Schaper promised (C a m p u s
Coalition candidate and now SGC
member David) Faye ,that they
would win. Faye told me to. keep
my mouth shut about it (Schaper's
- involvement)."
Eariler this week, Faye denied

Schaper refused to answer ques-
tions on the matter, and suggested
The Daily "talk to the Campus
Coalition people about that."
THE COMPUTER program, a
familiar source of election mis-
deeds, was another wellspring of
problems this year.
Strauss said he didn't want to
use last spring's computer pro-
grammer, Bert Moberg, for this
election, especially after Moberg
told Strauss "that he (Moberg)
could arrange the computer pro-
gram to make the election go any
way he wanted, and we'd never be
able to tell."
Strauss did appoint Moberg, how-
ever ,and Elliott Chikofsky, an SGC
candidate, wrote the back-up pro-
gram.
The ballots, said Strauss, fur-
ther confused an already confused
issue.
"Just 'about every one (ballot)
was. screwed up in' one way or,
another," he said.
"Even our pollworkers didn't un-
derstand the new 10-10-10 (SGC)
constitution and the ballots. I had
to go around every morning and
explain it to them," said Strauss.
"The only person' who understood
it was a schoolteacher who'd taken
computer science."
