Judicial council rejects 3 candidates’ appeals Fraternity brothers ruled active, must run on Greek slate By Bryan Culp Staff Writer The judicial council ruled Monday that three senate hopefuls are members of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and may run only as write-in candidates for Greek seats, upholding an earlier elections committee decision to bar the three from running outside their constituency. John Hamilton, who had been running for a commuter seat, and Sean Callahan and Steve Oakley, both running for student community seats, are technically active members of the fraternity, said Gage Hutchens, judicial council chairman. After the elections committee decision Friday, the three appealed the case to the judicial council. A member of the council's investigations unit called the fraternity's national headquarters in Ohio last weekend and was told that the three candidates were recognized members, Hutchens said. The main question the council had to decide, he said, was the proper definition of a fraternity member. The three candidates did not attend the hearing, but were represented by Andrew Segal, former president of Phi Delta Theta. "I'm representing myself and these three people," said Segal, who had been barred Thursday by the elections committee from running for a Graduate School seat. The judicial council overturned that decision Friday, ruling that Segal may re-en-ter the graduate race as a write-in candidate. Segal argued that the three students "have gone alumni" — meaning they are no longer active in the Phi Delta Theta house. But Hutchens said Segal's testimony was not good enough to warrant a change in the initial ruling. "They went alumni locally, but not nationally," he said. "You can pop in and out locally. But if you go alumni nationally, it's forever." Fraternity members usually go alumni locally when they are unable to keep up with dues, but often return when their finances improve. Going alumni nationally implies that, while they retain lifetime membership in the national fraternity, they are no longer active at their university's house. "Andrew didn't show us any proof that they had gone alumni," Hutchens said. "He made a point about their bylaws, but bylaws can be changed any time." Segal used the hearing as a chance to repeat charges that the elections and recruitment commission and its chairwoman, Hanh Cao, are trying (See Election, page 6) Three injured while crossing Jefferson Blvd. By Tara Sheehy Staff Writer Three students were injured Monday, one seriously, when a car sped through a red light at the comer of Jefferson Boulevard and Hoover Street, plowing into two bicyclists and one pedestrian, authorities said. The car, traveling at about 30 mph, drove through a mass of students crossing Jefferson and struck an RTD bus in the middle of the intersection, police and witnesses said. Vivian Terry, a 1987 graduate in political science, was walking to campus about 2 p.m. when she was struck by the green Pontiac station wagon as it drove west on Jefferson, police and witnesses said. The car hit Terry so hard she was knocked into the middle of the intersection along the car's path, coming to rest under the bus. "I heard this scream and then I saw the girl flying through the air," said student Tony Seeliger, who was walking just ahead of (See Accident, page 8)
