Today’s overview of candidates for ASUC president has some drama every student could appreciate: unmaskings, cattiness, and support for child labor.
First up, Beetle/Justin Azadivar gets unveiled. We had been wondering for a while what he looked like. And his Facebook stick figure wasn’t much of a help. But now, despite his sparse blog design and his all-about-the-words style that left little room for pictures, we have a picture (to the right, to the right).
Can you guess who Travis Garcia is referring to in this quote:
bq. “I am running as someone who is not going to BS people,” he said. “I am not trying to be everyone’s Facebook friend.”
Ilana Nankin Friend Count Update: 1,818 friends at Berkeley
Eric Marshall supports child labor.
bq. If elected, Marshall would create a number of ASUC committees and programs to “bridge the gap” between students and non-students, including a program that would allow high school students to intern in the ASUC.
Opportunity abounds for high school students willing to do the work of college students. Now that is empowerment and mentorship.
With her 1,818 Berkeley Facebook friends, Ilana Nankin just wants to party. At least it’s a sincere platform.
bq. Student Action candidate and current senator Ilana Nankin said her two main plans if elected would be to revitalize the Student Union and improve student life through entertainment and large-scale events.
And in an effort to help the student body, Joe Rothberg will continue to support “vegetarians who eat animal crackers.”
Dimitri Garcia and Van Nguyen didn’t even pass the snooze test of campus politics.

“Dimitri Garcia and Van Nguyen didn’t even pass the snooze test of campus politics.”
What does that even mean? That you couldn’t find anything in the article about them that you could turn into an oh-so-cool-and-cynical-but-uninformative sentence as part of your blog?
I suppose I should be happy they were just ignored, and spared your smarmy treatment. But overall, reading this blog just makes me cringe, and embarrassed to be a Cal student.
There are many good examples of blogs out there, both at Cal and in the “real world”, both serious and not-so-serious. You even read some of them. Try to learn from them instead of acting like a snarky society page or David Letterman. Like it or not, you’re a school newspaper blog, you’re supposed to be informative not just super-cool.
