USG grievance commissioners received four more grievances late Wednesday afternoon to add to the 15 previously filed prior to election day, making the total number of grievances close to 20 for the campaign.

Three of the grievances were filed against the Saluki Party, two of which were filed by people other than candidates on opposing parties.

One grievance, filed by a residence hall employee, alleged that members of the Saluki party were using spray glue to affix fliers to floors and walls in the residence halls.

A second grievance accused the Saluki Party of false claims on fliers against the Progress Party. The flier said the Progress Party supported a $120 athletic fee increase. The Progress Party has said they supported the $60 fee increase.

The third grievance against the Saluki Party, filed by a independent student, was filed for a mass e-mail sent by Sean Henry to students. The return address insinuated that it was sent through America Online. USG grievance commissioner Tim Chamberlain said his team had been unable to find an AOL account for Sean Henry and that sending mass e-mail through the SIUC server is against University policy.

There was one grievance against the Shakedown Party filed by the Progress Party for a flier they called distasteful. The flier in question contained the word ass.

The grievance commissioners did not hear grievances Wednesday night, choosing to wait until after the final results of the election. The earliest the commission could review grievances is this afternoon.

The grievance hearing will be [today] if it is not a moot point, Chamberlain said. If the grievance is against a party that lost, we won’t have to hear them.
