The rules also· specified March 23 as the deadtine for contestation of the election. WhenHubbard submitted his contestation,at 4:30 p.m. on thatday, he was told that the deadline was 1 p.m. "So 1 happenedto fall on another discrepancyIn the election. It IIlakesyou wond~!:!,ow- many Lenny Hubbard there were." Hubbard satd he virtually stumbled across the violation he discovered. Walking down the hall, he was concerned to see Schneeberger manning the polls. "If 1 hadn't walked down the hall at that time. this probably never would have happened," Hubbard said. At that point, Hubbard in- formed the Election Commit- tee of the discrepancy, and the ballots Schneeberger ini- tialed were removed from the _totals. This had no Impact on the election results. "I didn't think that was good enough," Hubbard said of the disqualification of these ballots. "I wasn't concerned with who won or who didn't wln.' he added. "(The winners) de- serve a fair election. The stu- dents deserve a fair election. It should have been done over again. "People have been telling me, 'The elections are always that way. There's always dis- crepancies.' Well, I think it's about time it stops. The one thing they can do is at least insure an honest election for the students, and If they can't do that, then there's some- thing drastically wrong. It's ridiculous to let It slide year after year." Hubbard believes that al- though Schneeberger should have familiarized himself with the election rules, ror- mer PSGA President Adrian Serrano is ultimately at fault. "Adrian was co-chairman of the Election Committee," Hubbard explained, "and he apparently asked Gary to sit at the polls. It's more Adrian's fault than Gary's.
