They aligned forces with each other to unify the student vote and take control. They blamed the Reality party for last year's student government debacle where more unpleasantrics were exchanged than action taken. But after almost two months of governing since the start of the school year, the marriage between the Student Empowerment Alliance and the M.E.Ch.A club has been far from made in heaven. After watching the Reality party seize power in the elections two years ago, it was evident that the two remaining parties were costing each other votes. With the split, the conservative Reality party was able to control the senate last year. So the SEA and the United Stu¬ dent Alliance party, which was comprised heavily of members of the various Latino organizations on campus, merged last year and the results were resounding.
