The preliminary results of the Associated Students, Inc. election have The Slate winning 17 out of 19 positions.

Low voter turnout left some candidates frustrated, citing a lack of advertising from the ASI organization and no poll booths as an example.

Voting was held online.

"I can't see how students can join a walkout to City College in the hundreds but they won't vote for the school [student body]," said Frankie Griffen, who won graduate representative.

The Slate's motto is "university united" and they plan to focus attention on student input for next year. They are also involved and supportive of a proposed recreation and wellness center.

"We hope to get more done with less bickering this time around," Griffen said.
Several incumbent ASI officers were re-elected, such president Natalie Franklin and Brian Cole, who now assumes a new role College of Humanities representative.

"I know the Greek community largely participated in voting," Cole said, who is also an associate member of Pi Kappa Phi.

The ASI funds numerous programs on campus and are involved in many student organizations. Members of the board receive stipends for their work that ranges from $500 for representative positions to $800 dollars for vice president positions.
