Runoffs and absentees may make the difference
by TIM LIVINGSTON
W&L students had to vote twice this
week to select second year law student Josh Payne as the next president
of the Executive Committee, the school's student governing body.
Monday's initial election was a race between three candidates, but the
difference in votes for Payne and Junior Kirk Adamson was too close to
declare a winner. The runoff election took place Wednesday, and Payne
was announced as the winner Thursday morning.
