			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="importedPhoto"><img src="http://www.studlife.com/media/stills/71uteo01.jpg" />Jeff Zove</div>
<p><i>Dear Reader: This article appears as part of</i> Student Life&#8217;s <i>annual April Fool&#8217;s issue. Please don&#8217;t think anything in it is true. It&#8217;s all made up.</i></p>
<p>Sexile turned to exile as Student Union President David Ader expelled Treasurer Ed Banti from Tuesday&#8217;s Senate meeting following a spat between the two over disputed beau and Vice President Pam Bookbinder. </p>
<p>The sudden expulsion was precipitated by a night during which Ader came to the Student Union (SU) offices, only to find Banti&#8217;s sock on the doorknob and the message &#8220;Dave, we&#8217;re busy &#8211; Ed,&#8221; written beside it. Ader then noticed the brassiere of Bookbinder, his immediate subordinate and current girlfriend, at his feet.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just do not believe that Pamela would do something like this,&#8221; said Ader, who has since called for Banti&#8217;s resignation, in addition to calling Bookbinder&#8217;s cellphone 17 times. &#8220;The sparks flew ever since I beat her in the election [for SU president] a couple years ago, and now she will not even answer my calls.&#8221;</p>
<p>Banti, however, sees things differently, and attributes Bookbinder&#8217;s change of heart to his newly shaven head, a haircut he received along with Ader at Relay for Life.</p>
<p>&#8220;They say that when you buzz your hair, it reveals your true character,&#8221; said Banti. &#8220;I guess when Pammie saw Dave and me side by side, she just could not resist a little treasure, if you know what I mean.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bookbinder refused to comment on the issue.</p>
<p>Tensions came to a head on Tuesday when Ader caught Banti gently stroking Bookbinder&#8217;s hair and massaging her back during the &#8220;Open Forum&#8221; section of the meeting. He promptly asked Banti to leave, to which the treasurer responded, &#8220;Respect the lady&#8217;s choice, loser,&#8221; before walking out.</p>
<p>While the love triangle may cause problems for the SU staff, one executive, SU Speaker of the Treasury Harsh Agarwal, sees the debate as positive.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think this is a step in the right direction for SU, especially the Treasury,&#8221; said Agarwal, who also shares a suite with Banti. &#8220;Ed has been a little, shall we say, frustrated lately, and this experience will really let him release some tension and focus on the treasury&#8217;s goals.&#8221;</p>
<p>But some, including former SU Treasury representative hannah draper, think the drama reflects very negatively on SU&#8217;s executives.</p>
<p>&#8220;That is some fucked up shit,&#8221; said draper. &#8220;I would not be surprised if [SU Treasury representative] Judson Clark and [SU Speaker of the Senate] Jeff Zove are also in on the action.&#8221;</p>
<p>While the sexual mores that draper suggests would be against Robert&#8217;s Rules of Order, the pamphlet that SU uses to guide its proceedings, Agarwal says he is not concerned. </p>
<p>&#8220;To be honest, I have never even opened that book,&#8221; said Agarwal. &#8220;Some [SU executives] thought about checking it out of the library once, but we are not even sure it exists. We kind of make up the rules as we go along.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Ader sees a silver lining.</p>
<p>&#8220;In my opinion, this is the first interesting thing to come out of SU in all four years I have been here,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Maybe now people will watch our TV show.&#8221;</p>
