There’s a myth floating around: To get the most out of ASUC Senate elections, you need to vote for “the right people.” The Clog disagrees. To get the most out of elections, we recommend attending as many campaign kick-off events as possible. There, potential student politicians live up to the promise of free food. You better savor it, too, ’cause you know they probably won’t live up to their real promises!
Join presidential hopeful Curtis Lee for cheesy sticks Wednesday at 6 p.m. in 126 Barrows, or find out who Yishi Zuo is at his Wednesday 10-11 p.m. campaign kick-off. Zuo will have “plenty of food and drinks as well as sign in sheets in case you would like to help with my campaign.” Sure thing, Yishi. But if cheesy sticks and sign-in sheets don’t whet your appetite, don’t fret. Just do a Facebook search and pick from a diverse set of offerings.
In addition to campaign kick-off parties, however, there’s YouTube. From video blogs to campaign trailers, ASUC hopefuls utilize every college kid’s favorite procrastination tool to get their name out there. Below, SQUELCH!’s Matt Guilhem makes everything orgasm. But will he make the polls orgasm?
Readers, meet Regine Labog–she’s running for Senate with Apple Engineering, Student Action and Unite Greek.
Apparently, Labog wants to “make a difference” and give engineers a “bigger voice in the Senate.” She might have said other things, but we were too entranced by the catchy tune from “High School Musical” playing oh-so-discreetly in the background to pay attention to her actual words. Hey, if Disney used a synthesized Ashley Tisdale to suck millions into their empire, so can engineers.

Seriously?! High School Musical music in the background? Really?! Really?! C’mon now…
And you’re trying to be serious?
Sheesh…
