The Senate voted unanimously Wednesday to extend the deadline in response to Election Commissioner Glory Ngwolo's concern that many students were unaware of the original deadline. Ngwolo said Wednesday the extended deadline would help eliminate the impression of collusion and cronyism by candidates then running unopposed, but as of Monday afternoon, no new applications had been filed. Speaking for the members of the SGA Election Commission, Ngwolo also said Wednesday the election was poorly organized and that the disarray was partially to blame for student ignorance of the proceedings. Students interested in running should pick up applications in the SGA offices located in the University Center Underground. *Send comments to dcnews@mail.uh.edu*		To contact the News Section Editor, click the e-mail link at the end of this article.
