From Today (Tuesday)'s issue of The California Aggie, a letter-to-the-editor:

Letter-to-the-Editor in California Aggie by Miss Christine Schachter, Elections Committee Chair:
I have several objections to Kris Fricke's guest opinion article (see opinion, "Elections are a serious matter," Nov. 18). Fricke says he has nothing against the Elections Committee, when in fact it is extremely obvious that he has everything against the committee as well as others within ASUCD. Fricke blatantly accuses the Elections Committee of not being impartial, yet an individual of his position should have greater integrity than to make such an extreme statement without getting the facts straight. It was made explicitly clear to candidates that vulgarity would not be permitted at an ASUCD-funded event, and in no way did the Elections Committee ever refuse to generate a list of words that candidates could not use during the Senate Forum. Libelous content was removed because it placed not only the Elections Committee at legal risk, but others within ASUCD at risk as well. The Elections Committee does not endorse slanderous campaigns with ASUCD funding or any funding for that matter; and if that creates a problem with Fricke and others, they should rethink their definitions of fair, impartial and unbiased.

Commentary on the above by Mr. Kris Fricke, Chief Justice, ASUCD Court:
( The Annihilating Rebuttal )

   I don't want to engage in a war of personal derision via the Aggie Opinion pages, but admittedly it would amuse me greatly to see any of these arguments relayed publicly. In particular I think someone ought to inform her of the true definition of impartiality before she violates herself further.
