A major victory: Paul Duffy, far right, is cheered by his fans after the announcement that he had received the most votes in Tuesday's FUSA
presidential primary. Duffy faces a final vote against Kevin Neubauer, the incumbent FUSA president.
Duffy, Neubauer survive primary
Neubauer makes final election ; NEWS ANALYSIS
by only 27 votes
BY STEVEN ANDREWS
Paul Duffy '05 and Kevin
Neubauer '05 will face each other
Tuesday in the FUSA Presidential
election after the primary saw a
decisive win by Duffy,while Neu-bauer
edged out Ben Manchak
'05 by less than 30 votes.
"I realize just how many
friends I've made here these
last two years," said Duffy, who
received 501 votes. "I went into
this hoping the best man would
win and I look forward to a
great conclusion to the election
on Tuesday."
Neubauer, the incumbent
president who earned 268 votes,
is prepared for a difficult week
of campaigning to win the presi-dency
again.
"I have a tough week ahead
of me, but I'm thankful for all
Duffy is the man to beat;
frosh, sophs are the key to victory

NEUBAUER
the people who have helped me
so far," he said.
Manchak, who received
241 votes, seemed shocked at
how close the race was.

If the election for next year's
FUSA president is anything like
the upcoming U.S. presidential
election, George Bush should
start sweating.
Incumbent Kevin Neubauer
'05 barely squeaked through
Tuesday's primary, trailing
the big winner of the primary,
Paul Duffy '05, who received
501 votes, almost doubling
Neubauer's 26,8.
Outsider candidates Rory
Butterly '05 and Frank Arrigo
'05 got only 15 and 13 votes, re-spectively,
but Ben Manchak '05
nabbed an impressive 241 votes,
falling just short of Neubauer's
tally.
For sure, Duffy is now the
man to beat, and Neubauer has
a lot of catching up to do if he's
going to beat him.
"Paul ran a great campaign
and is running a good campaign,"
Neubauer said. "It's gratifying to
make it this far. Obviously, I have
a lot of work to do between now
and next Tuesday."
One of the reasons Neubauer
is behind by such a margin is the
seemingly overwhelming support
of Duffy by the freshman and
sophomore classes, traditionally
the classes that vote in the largest
numbers.
Afew reasons might explain
this. First, Duffy is a resident as-sistant
in Jogues, allowing him to
tap directly into the daily lives of
most students living there and in
the quad pretty easily.

NASER
Students
accused
of plagiarism
Papers failed by
a computer program
BY STEVEN ANDREWS
Imagine being charged with
plagiarism by a computer program
and failing the course, then hav-ing
the teacher refuse to read the
paper in question over in person
to make sure the computer made
no mistake.
That is just
what four stu-dents
are claim-ing
happened
in Dr. Curtis
Naser's Global
Healthcare
Policy class last
semester.
Naser told
The Mirror that
he would like to
tell his side of the story, but now
is not the right time.
"Since the case is still under
investigation, it would not be ap-propriate
to talk about it," he said.
"But once it is all over, I would be
glad to speak."
Aparent of one of the students
involved, who asked not to be iden-tified,
is upset about the situation,
and added that the administration
has not helped much.
"Naser used a computer pro-gram
to grade his papers which ig-nores
citations that students make if
they quote them a certain way," said
the parent. "He's trying to make a
point about there not being a writ-ten
writing standard at Fairfield and
used these kids as an example."
After complaining, the stu-dents
had a meeting with Naser
and Dr. Timothy Law Snyder,
dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences.
"The administration didn't
investigate at all," the parent said.
"Naser told the students during the
meeting that he could have failed
them for just the paper, but he de-cided
to fail them for the course to
make his point."
