BY CARA MUZIK
In an election with startlingly low turn-out,
Jessica DiBuono '06 defeated classmate
Ashlee Fox '06 for the position of FUSA
president by over 300 votes Tuesday night.
"I'm completely overwhelmed," DiBu-ono
said, minutes after learning of her vic-tory.
"I simply cannot put into words how
thrilled I am to be allowed such an amazing
opportunity. I'm so thankful to the student
body for this chance to do great things next
year."
Fox, who received 288
votes to DiBuono's 600, was
disappointed at the loss, but said
she has no regrets about her effort.
"It's just been a very long week," she
said. "I'm^ort of numb to things right now.
Overall, this was a great experience and I'm
glad to have gone through it. I'm excited for
Jess and Kristina because they worked really
hard, too. I'll just get up tomorrow and go
back to being a student again."

the support that she and DiBuono received.

so thankful to everyone who came out and
voted and showed faith in us and our plat-form.
I can't say thank you enough to every-one
for all their help with our campaign."
In terms of their platform, DiBuono and
Chomick plan to increase the communication
and interaction between the different branch-es
of FUSA to create a more unified student
government.
They also plan to make
FUSA more accessible to the student body
through the creation of a school-wide news-letter,
as well as better publicized meetings
and easily available meeting minutes.
"It's really good that Jess and Kristina ran
on a ticket together," Fox said. "It will ensure
cohesiveness in FUSA since their goals will be
geared towards a common platform."
DiBuono joins the ranks of ground-breaker
Karen Donoghue who shattered the
glass ceiling here at Fairfield, becoming the
first female president ofFUSA since women
began being admitted in 1970.
