The race for president of the Undergraduate Student Government is no longer uncontested in a dramatic reversal of the Elections Board's decision to disqualify two candidates by the USG supreme court.

Previously disqualified candidate Chinelo Onochie will be put back on the ballot as a result, according to Elections Board Chair Max Sequeira. The other candidate and the incumbent president, Romual Jean-Baptiste, withdrew his candidacy prior to the board's Friday decision and will not be put back on the ballot.

Ralph Thomas, vice president of clubs and organizations for USG, submitted a letter of resignation tonight at what was suppose to be his impeachment hearing. After submitting the letter to the supreme court justices, Sen. Nathan Shapiro on behalf of the USG withdrew all charges against Thomas. The meeting lasted all of one minute.

Last September, Michael Nevradakis (former Statesman editor and current editor-in-chief of the Independent) accused former Statesman editor-in-chief, Mansoor Khan, of violating the Statesman's constitution by, among other things, not holding elections for editorial positions.
