BREAKING: An officer in the Biology Student Association tells The Vanguard that SGA candidate Zain Husain's claim to be a member in the BSA "is completely false." Three people have contacted us to say he is not a member. We're awaiting comment from Husain.

The official statement from the BSA source:

"In the Vanguard's front page article "Candidates in their own words: Vote for me because..." candidate Zain Husain states his involvement in a number of student organizations, and for at least one of these organizations, the Biology Student Association, his statement is completely false."

We will update as we learn more.

UPDATE 1:41 p.m. Zain Husain's statement:

"I was a member of BSA in my time. Not anymore. But I was. I went to the meetings last year. It is part of an organization that I've been a part of. Not anymore though Never could make the meetings. That's why I couldn't do AED this past year either unfortunately."

It worries a humble reader like myself that the Vanguard staff doesn't seem to know what "breaking news" means. This is highly sensationalized .

Shouldn't the BSA statement be retracted since it was shown that he was involved in that club? There should have been another breaking news story when he gave the statement, instead of just a small update at the bottom.
