ONE University to withdraw from election

The ONE University ticket has announced its intent to withdraw from the IU Student Association election.

Junior Saad Saghir, vice presidential candidate from the ONE University ticket, said the ONE University ticket has been having "internal problems" from which the executives' team decided they could not recover.

Their decision was announced to IUSA election commissioner senior Liz Retana at about 8 p.m. today.

"Btown is the most competent and dedicated ticket," Saghir said. "There is no doubt in my mind that Btown will do wonders for this organization."

Second-year law student Ben Blair, presidential candidate for ONE University, said the ticket's stand-out quality was that all of their platform issues were derived from the IU student body as opposed to IU faculty and administrators.

The ONE University ticket was focused on student rights, technology and facilities, community service, sustainability, transparency and accountability.

Students can vote from 10 a.m. Tuesday to 10 p.m. Wednesday on the IUSA Web site or at official IUSA polling stations.
