Counter petition circulates

CASG elections delayed a week
Elections for Carleton Academic Student Government (CASG) representatives, which were scheduled to begin Sept. 22, have been delayed a week.
CASG is a separate student government from the Carleton University Students’ Association, dealing mainly with the academic interests of the student body.
There are roughly 100 students who are elected as representatives to act as intermediaries between students, faculty and administration, and deal with academic, non-political issues concerning mainly undergraduate students.
Police say bullet casings were fired
The bullet casings discovered on Carleton campus had been shot from a gun at some point, according to director of university safety Len Boudreault. However, there is no evidence that a gun was fired on campus.
“If a weapon was discharged it would be very apparent,” said Insp. Chris Renwick of the Ottawa Police Service, who has taken over the case. “Someone would have heard it.”
There were no bullet holes or spent projectiles, and no reports of gunshots, Renwick said.

The 60-some voices have been led for four years by Montreal’s Jean-Sabastien Allaire, a seasoned vet among musical academics.
