SLAM, an activist group that has dominated Hunter College student government for eight years, was defeated last week in a school wide election by the newly formed party, Hunter United. The party aims to represent the entire student body and refrain from participating in political activism that offends certain ethnic/religious groups at the college.With 2/3 of the vote Hunter United landed a decisive victory in a week that was capped by political fireworks.
