Raising False Charges

Mr. Shea asserted that, "there are
those who undoubtedly will attempt to
gain politically by raising false charges
during the campaign. Unless they can
come up with more solid evidence than
the flimsy rumors on which these latest
charges are based, those who do so must
be viewed as frauds, grasping futilely at
anything in their attempts to win
election."

Mr. Collier also said that, 'the coalition
was not meant to discourage other
candidates from running." He added that
"if anyone is interested in running, he
would be happy to talk to them."

According to Mr. Kerr, "the coalition
will disband after the election."

The organizers of the coalition include
Tom Collier, President of the Student
Council, Chris Kerr, a Student Council
representative. Peter Gillespie.
vice-president of the Council, and Morgan
Kelly, president of the Residential
Council.

According to Mr. Kerr, "the whole
point of the coalition is to remove some
of the obstacles faced in an election." He
added that, "we wanted to make sure
students who are leaders in various
sectors of the University would not be
prohibited by expense from running."

"They are a true reflection of the
constituency of the University and by so
being, they can legitimize the actions of
Council," he said.
