Eavesdropping on the aftermath of the Central Student Government elections By Giacomo Bologna, Austen Hufford and Andrew Schulman Last Wednesday, midnight The online polls for Central Student.Gov- ernment president, vice president, assembly representatives and Department of Public Safety Oversight Committee are activated. There are six parties running for CSG presi- dent. Later that day- School of Social Work student Victor Andrews, the president of the School of Social Work Student Union, sends out an e-mail to 21 listservs in support of Business junior Manish Parikh and LSA sophomore Omar Hashwi, independent candidates running for CSG president and vice president. LSA senior Katy Tylus of youMICH and LSA junior Robert Bowen of OurMichigan both file complaints with the University Elections Commission that allege Andrews's e-mail breaches the CSG election code because Andrews doesn't own the listservs that received the e-mail. The two grievances are combined into a joint complaint against Parikh. Later, Andrews tells us he had no idea his e-mail would launch the longest night in the history of the UEC. "I'll never send an e-mail that'll do any- thing like that ever again," Andrews says. is scheduled to start. 7:32 p.m. Parikh arrives two minutes late to the CSG offices on the third floor of the Michi- gan Union. Shortly after 7:32 p.m. Andrews arrives to testify. According to Andrews, Parikh said he would only need to be there for less than a half-hour. "Man, 15 to 20 minutes turned into 12 hours," Andrews tells us later. 9:49 p.m. First-year Law student Betsy Fisher, a friend of CSG election director Peter Borock, also a Law student, is studying at the Law Quadrangle when she gets a call from Borock asking her to defend Parikh and Hashwi in a hearing. "I was vaguely aware that the CSG stood for Central Student Government," Fisher tells us. "I'd never seen the CSG elections, certainly never the composite code with all the election rules." But Borock pleads with her over the phone, swearing that the hearing could not continue without her. Fisher relents. members of his team are leaning over a table strategizing. Borock, shuttling between hearings, hands Fisher a copy of the election code with the provisions in question highlighted. "Read this," Fisher recalls Borock telling her. "I'll get back to you and tell you when we're ready to start." 10 p.m. The UEC, composed of Borock and Law student Ezra Geggel, LSA senior Anne Laverty, Business senior Matt Eral and Rack- ham student Elson Liu, goes into the first of two closed-door deliberations to decide the extent of coordination between Parikh and Andrews. 11:30 p.m. LSA sophomore Chris Mays, a member of MForward and a candidate in the LSA-SG elections, arrives at the proceedings to sup- port Hashwi. "It was kind of like a theater," he says, referring to how crowded the squat, square hearing room was. 11:45 p.m. When the UEC returns from its closed- door deliberations, it becomes clear that the election results will not come out at mid- night. 11:48 p.m. A full public hearing commences. Andrews is called back to testify. The commission asks for definitions and personal accounts. It scrutinizes Parikh and Andrews's relationship. It questions Andrews's authority to use the listservs in question. Friday, 12:18 a.m. Questions and testimonies are repeat- edly pored over, as the UEC looks for for any detail that could have been missed. Andrews later told us the memory that most stuck with him was the way he was treated during the hearing. "They tried to belittle my name," Andrews said. "I didn't like that." 1:45 a.m. The hearing is still in full force. CSG program manager Anika Awai-Wil- liams announces that the hearing will need to move to LSA-SG's offices in Mason Hall because the Union closes at 2 a.m. 1:47 a.m With a brief respite for chatter, UEC, Parikh and the prosecution pack up. In the hallway outside the hearing room, Parikh, Fisher and their team swipe gray T-shirts from a box on the floor and don them for the See CSG, Page 7B do the wobble [stausupdate] by jordan rochelson Why should a University student participate in Dance Marathon?
