Student political parties continued the search for possible candidates to fill their spring tickets on Monday.

About 87 students stopped by on the second day of qualifying, hoping to be chosen to fill one of the 50 available Senate seats on each party's ticket.

"(Monday) was slower than last year," said SG Supervisor of Elections Dan Siegel, adding that the rain put a damper on student turnout. "But I'm expecting it to pick up."

Five of the seven registered parties conducted interviews: Orange and Blue, Progress, Unite, Keg and LAN.

Both the Gator and Swamp parties remained absent.

Ten students registered with the Progress Party, 46 students registered with the Unite Party and 14 students registered with the Orange and Blue Party, according to Siegel.

Other parties also snagged a few candidates. Three students registered with the LAN Party, while two students registered with the Keg Party.

About 12 students remained undecided, Siegel said.

Meanwhile, the Orange and Blue Party will announce its completed executive ticket today at 12:40 p.m. on the Reitz Union Colonnade.

"I think the Student Body will be pleasantly surprised with our executive ticket," Orange and Blue presidential candidate Mark McShera said. "We have three candidates with strong resumes."

The last chance to interview is today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Room 284 of the Reitz Union.
