BREAKING NEWS: After recount, sophs sweep FUSA elections

The Fairfield University Student Association was rocked by a recount Wednesday morning, when the results of the Vice President of Senate and Vice President of Programming races were overturned.

Instead of Ryan Cantor, '04 and Jeff Holland, '04 winning those respective races, Geoff Cook, '05 and Jillian Grant won.
