The newspaper reported on 18.01.2007 on the StuPa elections at the Free University of Berlin. It was our initiative voters Empowered mentioned:
This paragraph is wrong, so we want to establish the following:
Some members of the electoral board now have a blog for Responsible voters set up and sign there, including the following case: A student could be unaware of the list of "Students with children" up and found himself suddenly in the coalition of obscure "bourgeois bloc" in the black letter "for a clean university - against left-wing machinations" campaigns.
- The initiative Empowered electorate sees itself as an independent initiative, the search results on right Tarnlisten published. Empowered in the initiative voters are not members of the Student Electoral Board are working with.
- The incident with the right Tarnliste "Studying with Child" refers to the StuPa 2006th to StuPa election, 2007, the list "Studying with Child" of students with children. These are to our knowledge, not a right Tarnliste!

FU sets crosses against the right
at the Free University to run the elections for Student Council . The investment is, as always, mau. A shift to the right as at the Technical University there will be not at the drive, however, promise Studi representatives
The road from the U-Bahn station Dahlem-Dorf to the Free University is like a gauntlet. On the road to the "silver foliage" posters to try the trees with simple messages to attract the attention of students: "Keep semester ticket", "elite shit, shit University", "Girls Kick Ass: Lesbian women's list.

About 35,000 eligible voters can choose from 46 lists, including student representatives, advocacy groups for students with children, foreigners and homosexuals, but also party-affiliated university groups.
The choice is eagerly awaited, in December had brought from the Technical University (TU) representatives of the CDU-near ring of Christian Democratic Students (RCDS), the majority in the traditionally left Asta. Since then, there in the TU-Asta bitter dispute.
on the campus of the FU, which is considered a stronghold of the Left, is to infiltration by a conservative but nothing remarkable. At the "Villa Asta" posters promoting an anti-fascist film series, election advertising by the RCDS is found not even in the marketing department of economists. "The CDU-Heinis not trust themselves to happiness here," says an education researcher who has just cast her ballot at the polling station before the cafeteria of the "rust bucket".
The crowd is very limited. "The investment is so mau as in previous years," complains an election worker. Last year only 11 percent of the grade entitle their voice. On the presence of particular groups on campus want to comment on polling station no. "This could be a political Influence to be misunderstood "
The caution of the poll workers stems from experience of past years repeatedly challenged law students the choice for little things to -...

At a political shift indicates not the point but says Janina Alfen, Chair of the student election committee. "FU remains left. The conservatives here get a foot on the floor. "The RCDS was immaterial. Worry about the election officer but Tarnlisten. Supposedly put back properly oriented initiatives in truth, fraternity and CDU members, said Annette Heppel. They would hide their true intentions in order to get the votes of uninformed voters. Where is a naïve freshman know, so Heppel, that when the supposed Eastern European list "Polsko-Rosyjska Lista / Polsky-Russkij Spisok" pulls in fact a member of the CDU Steglitz-Zehlendorf, the stripping, which was struck by racist slogans? Some members of the electoral board now have a blog set up for mature voters and sign there, including the following case: A student could be unaware of the list of "Students with children" up and suddenly found himself in a coalition obscure "bourgeois bloc" in the black letter "for a clean university - against left-wing machinations" campaigns. "Unipolitik can be really ridiculous," groans Annette Heppel. Nevertheless, it is on Friday until late into the night count votes. NINA APIN
