George W. Bush remain opti- mistic, while students loyal to Vice President Al Gore are worrying about the outcome. "We're keeping our fingers crossed," said LSA junior Alicia Johnson, a member of the college Democrats. But Bush supporters do not consider a loss likely. "I think Bush is going to get Florida because he was ahead last night," said LSA freshman Nicole Babcock, co-chair of the Michigan College Republicans Elections Committee. The night took students through a roller- coaster of emotions, with many not realizing that the uncertainty of the race until this morn- ing. "We all went to bed happy" Babcock said. "And then we woke up and everything changed," said Babcock, who had been with her family Tuesday night watching the elec- tion returns. An hour after networks declared Bush the president at 2:30 a.m., a recount was ordered in Florida, leaving the outcome of the presi- dential race uncertain. Earlier in the night Florida was called for Gore, but the projection was recalled and the state was later called for Bush. "I was kind of distraught when they took Florida away from Gore. My heart was in my throat," LSA junior Traci Johnson said. "Because I'm a minority and a woman I real- ly want Gore to win. Gore has people like me in mind," she said. Alicia Johnson had gathered with other fel- low Democrats to watch the elections in the Michigan League. With the race still uncertain at 12:30 a.m., )ptimistic the group was forced to relocate to the Michi- gan Union. At 2:15 a.m. they had to again relocate, this time to an apartment. After Bush was projected to be the winner in Florida, Johnson said that the Democrats were "praying for a miracle and the miracle happened," adding that "if Bush wins we've elected somebody who didn't have a majority of the vote and he obviously doesn't have -a mandate." One Gore supporter, LSA sophomore Atishay Chopra, said he plans to gather with his housemates toisorrow afternoon to watch the outcome of the recount in Florida. He did not hesitate to explain the current confusion in Florida. "Nader was the only reason Gore didn't win," Chopra said. One Green supporter, Sandy Dear, of Ypsi- lanti, while admitting that she preferred Gore over Bush, said she was "excited that they were even mentioning Nader" on television i The Orlando Sentinel was one of many newspapers trying to keep up with the latest news during Tuesday's night's volatile election coverage. Here four editions display conflicting headlines. I ELECTION Continued from Page1:A "We've received literally thousands of tele- phone calls and inquiries and reports of irreg- ularities like ballots appearing and disappearing, voter intimidation and the totals of this election sort of mysteriously disappear- ing and growing overnight," state Democratic Party chairman Bob Poe said. Jesse Jackson said he got calls on Election Day complaining that blacks had difficulty voting in Florida and other Southern states. He said sonse voters were told there were no more ballots, orsthat polls were closed. What we need is not just a recount by hand, but also a thorough investigation," Jack- son said. NAACP President Kweisi Mfume said lse has asked the Justice Department to investi- gate alleged election irregularities affecting trinority voting. He also wants the govern- ment to oversee the recount. "We are not suggesting foul play, but we are very much concerned that foul play can hap- pen," he said in a statement. Separately. Democratic officials and voters complained about the way ballots in Palm Beach County were arranged. Voters punched holes in the middle of the ballot, while candi- dates were alternately listed to the left and then the right. County officials also said 19,120 ballots in the presidential race were tossed out because more than one candidate was picked. "It was virtually impossible to know who you voted for," said Mark Hirsch, a 30-year- old business executive who voted for Green Party candidate Ralph Nader. Some Gore supporters said they feared they mistakenly voted for Reform Party can- didate Pat Buchanan. Gore carried the county by more thani 110,000 votes, but the 3,407 votes for Buchanan were by far the most of any Florida county, and almost 20 percent of his total vote in the state. Republicans said the ballot was approved by Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore, a Democrat. Jeb Bush said he has seen nothing that indi- cates fraud, and pledged a fair recount. "Voter fraud in our state is a felony, and guilty parties will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," he said.

"I don't know if they affected any- thing one way or another. Whether they ran or not, we probably would have had the same results, just a little bit higher of numbers' Deitch said. ISA senior Scott Trudeau, who ran with the Green Party, said he was not surprised by the results. "As far as what the results mean, it is difficult for a student to run a cam- paign while taking classes," Trudeau said. "But I thought I brought a lot of issues to light:' One of those issues Trudeau and the other two students running for seats were campaigning for was the right for a student to be on the board. "It's hard to gauge whether we made much of a difference in this area: I think the sentiment is still there and it is ny experience that it's something most students do want," Trudeau said, McGowan said she is glad both she and Deitch were re-elected so the board can move forward in defending the University two lawsuits question- ing the use of affirmative action i the its admissions policies. "What we're doing is very impor- tant and we're doing the right thing. Im glad the University can keep its eye on the ball and doesn't have to be distracted by arguments on whethpr the board agrees with the Uiversity's policy," McGowan said. Deitch is happy he will have the chance to work with the same group for at least the next two years. "We have been effective and we're a cohesive group. I'm delighted we'll be able to work together still," Deitch said. "I don't know where I'll be in two years, and (the board of regents) may not be the best place for me at that time," Trudeau said. Trudeau said he is not sure if he will run for the board again in two years.
