Morabito is VP,
Coker treasurer
By Vicky Jiggetts

Shane Jones won the election
for the SGA presidency with 353
votes to his opponent Bobby
Drakeford’s 283 votes.
Throughout the competitive elec
tions. Drakeford campaigned
with Robert Morabito, who won
the election for vice president
against Jane Marie Jones.
Morabito had 326 votes and Jones
had 290.
In the race for treasurer, Shawn
Cok-er won with a total of 349
votes, and his opponent, Aaron
Chatkin, received 242 votes.
During the voting process,
some of the candidates complain
ed that the ballot boxes were not
at the designated places for
students to vote. Under these cir
cumstances, there was still a
larger voter turnout than last
year. In the 1984 primary elec
tion, 439 people voted, and 399
voted in the runoff election. This
year, it was not necessary to have
a primary and runoff election
because only two candidates were
running for each executive office.
A total of 636 votes were counted
in this year’s election.
Shane Jones is a junior public
administration major from
Raleigh. He said that one of his
goals is "to be sensitive to the
needs of all groups on campus,
and to bring people from the dif
ferent groups together.” His
other goals include being “a
strong voice for students, insur
ing that students are represented
well in discipline cases, and
strong possibilities for changes in
visitation.”
