Tullos wins runoff by 8 votes

Current student body vice president Katherine Tullos edged out Ronald Lowenfield to win the student body presidency by only 8 votes.

Most of the voters in the general election cast ballots again in the close race. Nearly one-third of undergraduates, 2,117, voted in the general election and 1,816 voted in the runoff race. Polls opened Wednesday at 12 a.m. and closed Thursday at 7 p.m.

Tullos received 912 votes while Lowenfield came up short with 904 votes.

The race for secretary, which was seperated by 7 votes in the general election, was not as close.

Lamar Dowling won with 53 percent of the votes cast. Dowling received 953 votes with Jonathan Lane netting 840 votes.

The vice-presidential race was a blow out, with Bethany Peters winning by 18 percentage points over Lulu Seikaly. Peters received the most votes of any candidate running with 1,008. No candidate received more in the runoff or the general election.

Seikaly received 713 votes, about 41 percent of the vote.
