The application has two lines for names ? one for the applicant's full name and the other for the name requested to be on the ballot. "I've looked at the statutes.

Carothers, who is serving as adviser to SG, said he did not realize until Tuesday that Ham was running under a completely different name.

SG Elections Commissioner Eric Eppes said the elections commission discussed the situation when the petition came in.

"Some type of adjustment will have to be made to prevent this from happening in the future," Carothers said. Ham could not be reached Tuesday for comment. uestions went to the administration asking this may be a way to solve the proi various issues such as parking ndled by having a student voting oard of trustees.
