The first involves an e-mail sent out by a Voith and Gadgil staffer to a campaign staffer for Magnus Grimeland ’07 and Tom D. Hadfield ’08.

...presidential candidate John F. Voith ’07, who is also the current CLC chair, advocates for a SEC Board that operates under the UC with a fair amount of autonomy, while Haddock’s campaign advocates having a student-run, but not UC-affiliated, planning committee. Magnus Grimeland ’07 says that he advocates the UC throwing “decentralized” events in conjunction with University Hall.Corker released a statement on behalf of the Office of Student Activities affirming their willingness to act as a supporting role—and not a dominating...
