GSB is not going to release the results of the election until Thursday, at 9:15 p.m. in the Memorial Union. This is 45 hours after the polls close. Here are some videos of Daniel Fischer and Ryan Crampton talking about the delay. Interesting enough, they have completely opposite views on it.
See here for the full story.

It's all greek to GSB
By John Askew
I found this article in the Daily's archives tonight (thanks to Opinion Editor Josh Hillman) and it's from three years ago. It's interesting because it addresses some of the same things we are seeing in this year's election - a full greek slate vs. a partial greek slate. Take a read.

Members of Iowa State's greek system have been very active in the Government of the Student Body in the past, and in this year's GSB election, the greek tradition continues.
Both slates running for executive office this year boast members of the greek community.
Angela Groh and Chris Deal are members of Alpha Gamma Delta and Phi Delta Theta, respectively. Henry Alliger and Sarah Walter are members of Theta Chi and Alpha Sigma Kappa, respectively.
In 2004, Sophia Magill, member of Alpha Gamma Delta, ran with Will Rock -- a non-greek -- and beat out the other slates for executive office. Neither of the two other slates had members of the greek system.
The president for the 2003-04 school year, Mike Banasiak, was not greek. His running mate, Ben Albright, formerly of Alpha Gamma Rho, was. They beat out two other slates -- one greek, one not.
Catherine Petersen, senior in political science and GSB senator for the Panhellenic Council, said last year 42 percent of greek women and 46 percent of greek men voted in the GSB election, compared to the 23 percent of all undergraduates who voted in 2004.
There are 815 members of the Interfraternity Council and 517 members of the Panhellenic Council.
Nathan Katzer, junior in agronomy, said his fraternity, Alpha Gamma Rho, does not pressure members to vote, but encourages them to do so. Members make announcements and have weekly meetings to discuss GSB happenings and will endorse a candidate.
Alpha Gamma Rho has three representatives on GSB, as well as the Chief of Justice of the GSB Supreme Court, and more than 10 houses are represented in GSB.
Tim Hoskins, vice president and external archon of Pi Kappa Phi, said a common requirement for greek involvement is participation in an organization outside the house. Some seek service on GSB.

The Daily asked Fischer/Luttrell and Crampton/Edwards for their campaign schedules recently to compile this list. After looking over the campaign stops from the beginning leading up to the election we found an interesting breakdown between the different organizations around campus they have/will visit.

Residence Halls: 15 stops
Greek Houses: 10 stops
Campus Orgs: 18 stops
Crampton/Edwards
Residence Halls: 10 stops
Greek Houses: 2 stops
Campus Orgs: 13 stops
Editor's Note: This list represents data compiled from the schedules provided to the Daily and is as current as the information given. Repeat visits to groups, RH, or Greek houses were not calculated in the totals.

Final Debate
By John Askew
Monday night was the last time the two executive slates will officially meet to exchange words. In all, the debate was more open to actual "debate" than the previous one last week. Here are a few notable clips from the evening:
What is your greatest weakness?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[Addressed to Crampton/Edwards] Considering both of you are coming from the Greek system, how do you plan on addressing issues more relevant to the residence halls?
This question spurred a debate about attending a previous IRHA meeting, which Luttrell/Fischer pointed out that Crampton/Edwards did not attend.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What is a problem you see with your opponent's policies or plans?
This question had Daniel Fischer claiming C/E's proposed beginning-of-the-year concert wouldn't work, and Ryan Edwards fought back on F/L's proposed plan to cut tuition.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Be sure to check back for video coverage of the GSB senate debate that preceded the executive one. And remember, feedback is always welcome.
