Yesterday, in what was perhaps one of the most awkward award ceremonies ever to grace this campus (the most excited guest in the room remarked that it was like people were “handing out homework” instead of certificates), 6 out of over fifty student-run publications–and one dedicated senior–claimed ASUC student publications’ most honorable honors. The room had a lukewarm energy–even when a random performance by hip-hop dance group COLOR Danz attempted to hype it up (alas, it was a room full of writers, who only dance with their fingers on keyboards).
We still think the hard-working pubs community is eons greater than it was last year, thanks to its new, awesome publications adviser. Besides, there was food!
The night began in the Heller Multicultural Center with vegetarian hors d’oeuvres and the daintiest Costco desserts available (the cinnamon rolls were simply scrumptious). While we nibbled at our eggplant kabob, soon-to-be J-school grad and Iraqi journalist, Omar Fekeiki, gave the keynote speech–reminding us how lucky we are for having the ability to say pretty much anything we want in our blissfully non-war torn country.
A complete list of the winners:
• Best Student Publication of the Year: The Heuristic Squelch
