Meanwhile Casey Powers, intrafraternity senator, ran for an international seat. He was the only name on the ballot. Speroni and Chekuri won the two seats with 176 and 180 votes, respectively. Powers, who got just 55 votes, said he was glad his candidacy prompted more international students to vote. It helped tell the international students that they should be involved.
Powers is from Iowa.
He said Speroni and Chekuri will do well as senators. Speroni said the numbers, which were above average for the international seat, proved that international students didn't support Powers. A lot of people knew about it. They were upset about it so they came. Speroni said international students, in general, don't care about politics.
