After the recent death of a Drexel University student from meningitis, the Centers for Dis- ease Control and the New Jersey Department of Health advised Princeton to increase hygienic practices to prevent an outbreak at the university, including vac- cination clinics hosted by the university in December, Febru- ary and March. An investigation performed by the CDC revealed the Drexel student acquired meningitis through a Princeton student who carried the disease but did not show symptoms. According to the Daily Princ- etonian, the university recently announced it would cancel the traditional alumni overnight stays during their reunion weekend for the "health safety of newly admitted students." Rabbi and reverend engage in interfaith dialogue at Duke University Reverend Luke Powery, dean of Duke Chapel, and Rabbi Raa- chel Jurovics came together on Monday to discuss how past tragedies in the African-Amer- ican and Jewish communities influence modern-day culture, the Duke Chronicle reported. WUNC Radio's Frank Stasio moderated the discussion as the two reflected on slavery and the Holocaust, focusing on both the tragedies' evils and what society can learn from them. The two agreed that to truly progress as a civilization, people must discuss not only its triumphs but also its devastation. "The catastrophes that are most difficult to understand are those like slavery and the Holo- caust that are experienced by one group of people and gener- ated by another," Stasio said.

He said cheaper prices attract more customers, espe- cially price-conscious stu- dents. Although Namari described the menu as cheap and the portions as large, he said they were not able to attract enough business to keep the doors open. Additionally, this past win- ter's brutal weather, which Namari believes deterred peo- ple from going out to eat as frequently, took a toll on sales. He added that on top of this, competition in the area was strong, mentioning the various Mediterranean cuisine options all within walking distance of each other. Other Mediter- ranean restaurants nearby include South State Street's La Marsa as well as Ahmo's Medi- terranean Grill, which came to the Michigan Union's base- ment this past summer. The closing of Hommus Express, a fairly new business, exemplifies a larger trend in the downtown Ann Arbor area. Namari said his situation is not rare and that he watched the businesses around him located on Liberty come and go as a short two years went by. CSG From Page1A the University Elections Com- mission delayed the release of results, but each case was either resolved or dropped by Tues- day afternoon. The rulings had negligible impact on the official results of the election. The complaint with the great- est potential consequence was dropped on Monday when Make Michigan officially withdrew its suit against FORUM for alleged abuse of e-mail privileges. Make Michigan filed the complaint against its rival party after LSA junior Domenic Riz- zolo, outreach co-director for FORUM, sent a campaigning e-mail using a listerv he did not own. If the UEC had ruled FORUM guilty, the party would have faced demerits for each recipient of the e-mail in ques- tion. The total accumulation of demerits would have exceeded limits outlined in the election code and resulted in the disqual- ification of each FORUM candi- date. After further reviewing the case, Dishell concluded that Riz- zolo's e-mail would have had marginal impact on the election itself and decided to withdraw his suit. In a statement sent out to all candidates announcing the withdrawal, Dishell said he wanted to avoid the hostile environment and unproductive intra-CSG rivalries created by a lengthy litigation process. He added that he filed the official complaint initially to uphold the provisions of the election code. "You can always withdraw, just like we did," Dishell said. "But I can't, after the fact, go back and say, I really wish we had filed this." The official complaints regarding alleged campaign finance infractions by FORUM, the Party Party and the House of Cards Party were upheld and addressed in a UEC hear- ing Monday evening. Business senior Matthew Fernandez, rep- manager for Make Michigan, filed the complaint on behalf of Make Michigan, citing failure to publish receipts on campaign finance forms as a major infrac- tion. Dishell said these cases, in contrast to the alleged e-mail misuse, could have had an impact on voting. He said possible over- spending could have created an unfair advantage. In an official ruling released Tuesday, the UEC found all three parties guilty of the infraction, but reduced the punishment outlined in the election code. While a major infraction usually calls for three to four demerits per violation, the UEC instead assigned two demerits per party. The UEC cited miscommuni- cation between candidates and the election director as well as vagueness of the wording of the election code as grounds for reducing the number of demerits assigned for the violation. In the ruling, the UEC said campaign finance forms pro- vided to candidates did not explicitly contain instructions for receipts that were called for in the code. Additionally, once respondents were made aware of the violation, they provided the appropriate receipts. These demerits did not affect the outcome of the election in any way. Parties are penalized for demerits until they reach 10, at which point that party is removed from the election entirely. Law student Bryson Nitta, election director, released a dis- senting opinion along with the UEC's official ruling. Nitta acts as an ex officio member of the UEC and does notvote on official rulings. Nitta expressed discontent with the demerits assigned to FORUM, the Party Party and the House of Cards Party. "Candidates and students are not law enforcement officers trained in detecting deceit and fraud," Nitta wrote. Manes and Abraham hugged fellow FORUM candidates after receiving the news that they did not win. Manes said their work will not stop despite the elec- tion's outcome. "We wholeheartedly believe that titles don't really give you any extra power," Manes said. "If students believe in doing things, they can get things done just by their own moti- vation and their own personal drive and passion because they care about things."
