Today marks the first day of voting for the 2008 ASUC elections and the publication of the Daily Cal endorsements. To vote, go to election.asuc.org or hit up any polling station on campus. Voting ends on Thursday, Apr. 10.
In the Daily Cal’s endorsements, the paper seemed to deliberately choose a split-ticket for the executive slate. Endorsements were considered based on individuals and voting records, not necessarily the parties they represent. And here they are:
* President: Curtis Lee, Student Action
* External Affairs Vice President: Dionne Jirachaikitti, CalSERVE
* Academic Affairs Vice President: Carlo de la Cruz, CalSERVE
* Executive Vice President: Chad Kunert, SQUELCH!
* Student Advocate: Matt DeMartini, Independent
* SUPERB Referendum: No
How does this stack up with other official endorsements? Cal Patriot endorses a full Student Action sweep of the executive slate. Beetle laughs at Daily Cal’s pick of Chad Kunert. Both–Beetle especially–agree with a “No” vote on the referendum.
As Beetle is the guru of all things ASUC (how did he ever lose last year?), he also has a handy guide to the “serious” SQUELCH! candidates for your Senate choosing. But for the official guide that will seriously bore you to tears/put you to sleep, make sure to check out the Voters’ Guide.
