ASMSU officials have candidate results for last week's undergraduate election, but Student Assembly Chairperson Andrew Schepers said finalizing the results "takes time." ASMSU's election committee, along with the university's election committee, has to review the student government's election totals to make sure there are no "screw-ups" and to make sure the counts are accurate, he said. ASMSU's election committee also will have to validate write-in candidates and confirm that the write-ins have been placed in the correct college as a candidate. Undergraduates voted on candidates for 58 open seats and a proposed tax hike of $3 in the election, which took place Wednesday and Thursday.

As children glared at the dark, squishy fields of Nancy Moore Park on Saturday, they primed to search for plastic eggs. Parents, on the other hand, prepared for a hunt of their own - to find their children in the mass of about 500 participants. Guardians clenched their children's hands as pressure mounted under the setting sun at the Okemos park's Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt.

Students in MSU's Landscape Architecture program might soon get the chance to redesign the downtown area of a northern Michigan city. Traverse City, a community of about 15,000 people, is in the process of requesting help from the students as part of the Small Town Design Initiative, a program run by Warren Rauhe, an associate professor of landscape architecture and director of the initiative. In the project, the students would work with Traverse City residents to redesign a 2-mile stretch of land that runs alongside the Grand Traverse Bay, as well as attempt to better connect it with the downtown area, Rauhe said. "There's a lot of open space, a lot of green space there, a lot of opportunity to do something really special," he said.

Student government elections came to a close at 7 p.m. Thursday and ASMSU leaders did not have election totals available. John Sturk, who acts as a liaison for the student government and Academic Computing & Network Services, said proper personnel were not available to release voter turnout information. Election results are anticipated to be released before the weekend's end. And although the government is trying to fill empty seats, some candidates might now be disqualified. Officials said ASMSU's Elections Code "is not in its best form" and Tuesday it caused friction for the second consecutive year. In March 2003, about 28 undergraduates were disqualified when MSU College Republicans and MSU College Democrats endorsed running candidates on each group's respective listserv.
