Some might say it was a long time coming, but elections for freshmen student senators finally closed Thursday night after a week of technical problems and candidate troubles. Originally held last Wednesday and Thursday, the online elections were declared invalid and rescheduled for this week after a loophole in the system allowed alumni with working campus e-mails to cast votes. Between the elections, candidates Jasper Ress and and Evan Krasik were disqualified for allegedly violating advertising policies by using sidewalk chalk on campus. Senate said it would release the names of the new senators this weekend.

It’s Homecoming season on campus, which means it’s time to vote for a king and queen. Elections were to be held in the Commons from 11 to 2 today. The results will be announced at the men’s soccer game on Oct. 20.
A 14-year-old boy was arrested this week after conspiring with a classmate to attack his Philadelphia high school. Police reports allege the boy’s room was packed with weapons, neo-Nazi literature and DVDs about the Columbine High School massacre. He was charged with solicitation to commit terror. His name was not released.
The arrest comes in the wake of a Wednesday shooting at a Cleaveland, Ohio school that left four people wounded and the shooter dead by suicide. Classmates say Asa Coon was suspended two days earlier and threatened to retaliate, but no one took him seriously.
