Representative resigns from post on Student Congress
Student Congress representative Julie Lamberth resigned her position Thursday.
She represented District 8, which consists of the schools of Business, Law, Information and Library Science, Journalism and Mass Communication and off-campus studies.
In an e-mail to Student Congress, she cited her reasons for leaving as her workload, law school and family concerns.
Candidate for Homecoming disqualified late Thursday
Yesenia Polanco was disqualified from the race for Homecoming Queen late Thursday night for failing to submit required financial statements, specifically an invoice related to printed handbills.
Polanco, sponsored by the Carolina Hispanic Association, violated the section of the Student Code that requires candidates to disclose such information no later than 5 p.m. the day after the election. Officials in the Board of Elections said Polanco requested an extension Wednesday but neglected to submit documents Thursday.
While Homecoming candidates cannot use student fees to pay for campaign materials, they can spend up to $250. This year's Homecoming Queen and King will be announced Saturday.
