Duffy defeats Neubauer for FUSA presidency
Ritterbeck wins VP of senate position; : NEWS ANALYSIS
Grant re-elected as VP of programming
BY STEVEN ANDREWS
Paul Duffy '05, with overwhelming
support from underclassmen, defeated
incumbent Kevin Neubauer '05 for the
position of FUSA president by over 400
votes Tuesday night.
"This is unbelievable," said Duffy,
who received 783 votes. "When I applied
here, I was waitlisted and now I've been
voted the president. This just shows that
anyone can do anything."
Neubauer, who had 370 votes, was
upset at the loss but prepared to move on.
"This is obviously disappointing," he
said. "However, I still want to do all I
can to prepare FUSA to have a great year
next year."
Neubauer's running mate and current
VicePresident of Programming Jillian
Grant '05 won her race against Amy Gasi-orowski
'05 by a count of 663 votes to 410.
Grant could not be reached for comment,
but Neubauer is entertaining thoughts of
joining her next year.
"I don't know if I'll continue with
FUSA at this point," he said. "But if I did,
I could apply to be Director of the Program-ming
Board."
Although she was not elected, Gasi-orowski
is also considering participating
in FUSA.
"I'm extremely disappointed about the
loss," she said. "I haven't made a decision
yet, but I will look into being active with
FUSA next year."
The race for Vice President of Sen-ate
was won by Brett Ritterbeck '05, as
he defeated Kevin Saville '06 by a count
of 663 votes to 410. Ritterbeck ran with
Gasiorowski and Ben Manchak '05,
who was eliminated in the last week's
primary.
"I don't think there will be any prob-lems
working with Jill and Paul, even
though I didn't run with them," Ritterbeck
said. "I'm already familiar with Jill since
we've worked together in FUSA for the last
three years."
A representative of Saville told The
Mirror that he did not wish to make any
comments at this time.

With different backgrounds, winners
have unique chance to unite students
BY ETHAN FRY
On Tuesday morning, Paul Duffy '05,
Jillian Grant '05 and Brett Ritterbeck '05
had different goals: they had different plans
for Fairfield, different running mates, and
different campaigns.
By late Tuesday night, they were
elected to the three highest positions in
FUSA.

up FUSA next year as President, Vice Presi-dent
of Programming and Vice President of
Senate, respectively.
The results of Tuesday's FUSA elec-tions
make odd bedfellows for members
of next year's executive branch. Two can-didates
from different tickets were elected
as vice presidents, with a candidate without
any running mates elected as president.
These three are now in a unique po-sition.
For these three juniors, coalition-building
seems imperative for FUSA to be
effective next year, with plans from three
different platforms winning some degree
of voter approval.
Grant and Kevin Neubauer '05 ran on
the same ticket, as they did successfully last
year. This year, however, only Grant got a
nod of approval from voters. The ticket of
Ben Manchak '05, Ritterbeck and Amy Gasi-orowski
'05 bore fruit only for Ritterbeck.
Duffy ran without any running mates yet had
the most substantial margin of victory.
