     A rather amazing thing 
     
     happened last Friday at 
     
     UPEI. ‘That, if you » 
     
     remember, was election day 
     
    
   
   
    
     for several council positons 
     
    
   
   
    
     and one executive position 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     * ELECTION ‘ 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     might be another tie 
     
     Mr. Place added that, 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘ "That's a pretty big problem. 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘I think you should ask a 
     
     math professor that. But 
     
     if there is another tie 
     
     it would simply be re—vcted 
     
    
   
   
    
     within the UPEI Student Union: again- I do think that 
     
    
   
   
    
     Union. That fact in itself 
     
    
   
   
    
     man not be astounding, 
     
    
   
   
    
     but what was more surprising 
     
    
   
   
    
     was the result. The ‘ 
     
     battle for Communications 
     
     Officer ended in a ' 
     
     deadlock. Candidates-Alban 
     
     Gallant and Shelly Pepler 
     
     each polled 96 votes. As 
     
    

    
     a result they faced a 
     
     re-vote oanednesday,_- 
     
     October 10th. Other 
     
     candidated fared better. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Elected were Brendon 
     
     Bolger, Caroline Hill, 
     
     and Robert O?Hanley as* 
     
     senators and Jim Costello 
     
     as arts rep. 
     
    

    
     Student Union business 
     
     manager Mickey Place, was 
     
    
   
   
    
     contacted about the Situation 
     
    
   
   
    
     on Tuesday. He advised 
     
     the SUN that, "I remember 
     
    
   
   
    
     no other ties ever happening, 
     
    
   
   
    
     but the tie doesn‘t concern

     worked hard to get represent- 
     
    
   
   
    
     atives in those places, and 
     
     it is disturbing that more

     The man knew  .
