ASUC FUN!
Everyone loves ASUC campaign season. It gives us local pundit types something to do.
Let's check out what BEARS-United dude Zach Liberman has to say about his slate:
"They all bring their own worlds," Liberman said. "In their own worlds, their friends are extremely loyal to them, and that's the best judge of who they are."
Insular? Anyway, the article claims:
BEARS-United, which was created last year to combat the party politics that have historically split the student government, is again running a full slate.
Checking the neat little graphic, we see that they are indeed running a full slate, including two people named "To be Announced."
And Matt Holohan is invisible!
As of Sunday evening, the sole candidate for Student Advocate, which is traditionally a noncompetitive race, Vikrum Aiyer, is being backed by both of the major parties.
That's not what the graphic says. And I always trust graphics.
For future use
Here are some goals for the presidential candidates, so let's all remember them for when these folks get elected:
Justine Lazaro seems to be planning on "reaching out" and bringing the "outsider advantage" and seems to have no goal but offering "a fresh voice to students."
Manny Buenrostro is playing the "I'm an RA" card that worked so well for Pammy O'Leary last year.
He says he is pushing to make UC Berkeley a school with a top-notch student union, a student body that is represented at the university level and a unified educational community.
Haha. Sure thing, tiger.
Yvette Felarca wants to "educate students about the importance of diversity on campus, the trials of underrepresented students, the campaign to end the war in Iraq and this year’s fee hikes." If you just want to educate, you should become a lecturer.
RebC "plans to improve the ASUC Web site and defend the expression of free speech around campus while slandering her opponents, getting a tan, not getting arrested and losing students' money." Maybe someone screwed up, but if I'm reading that with strict grammar, that means RebC is planning on losing students' money.
"SQUELCH! candidates never win, we're out to have fun and show there's an alternative," Brown said.
That's the kind of defeatest, non-slanderous talk that makes folks like me question her dedication.
Zach Liberman appears to have the sole goal of ending SA/CalSERVE dominance. After he's through with his "clean sweep," I guess he'll just kick back and relax.
