V. Report by President Tyson Fettes

            There was a mix up in the voting process of the President Pro Tempore last meeting. Some of those who counted the ballots thought there were 27 voting members, others thought there were 28. Since there were 28, Brian Graziano did not receive the required 2/3 of the vote. That being the case, we will revote today. I am sorry about the confusion.

VI. Report prepared by Senator Ted Lucier

            Due to the valuable time and energy lost by the re-votes, I have decided to back down from the election for the benefit of the Senate and the Student Body. Thank You to those who voted for me.
