In what turned out to be a not-so-close race, CalSERVE swept all four executive positions in the ASUC elections. Roxanne Winston won for president, Krystle Pasco is the new executive vice president, Dionne Jirachaikitti prevailed in the external affairs vice president race, and Carlo de la Cruz will serve as the academic affairs vice president come fall semester. But, lest we forget, there’s a bummed loser for every shining victor bedecked in laurel leaves and busty women. Student Action failed. The SUPERB referendum also failed. Sorry, guys. read more »
The Daily Cal’s Elections Forum came and passed, and CalSERVE’s gloating. The party’s site posted about the performances of its own Dionne Jirachaikitti and Student Action’s Lina Ochman, both running for EAVP.
The announcement offers no commentary, but the battling videos speak for themselves. Ochman’s response is painful at best–we couldn’t even get through the whole thing.
That doesn’t mean that Jirachaikitti is always a smooth speaker. Sure, she’s got two clips of separate news appearances on YouTube. But have you heard her slam poetry?

Ooh, look, the Daily Cal site is all pretty! The redesign, which was in the making for a few semesters, is finally up. We love the design, but the search function is still a little wonky–you can look for articles by specific writers but not by keywords.
Thoughts, anyone?
And speaking of pretty sites, we got a tip from Yaman Salahi via Facebook today concerning his own web design:
I thought you might like to check out the new CalSERVE website that I spent the better half of Spring Break working on. For full disclosure purposes: I am the webmaster as well as one of the party coordinators this semester, so by no means am I an “impartial observer” though I’d like to think I’m not wack. It’s at www.calserve.org. I’m not going to lie, I think it’s the best campus party website so far and I think it blows Student Action’s site out of the water.
Does CalSERVE’s site kick more ass and take more names than that of Student Action? We think only Beetle would really care in this matter.

Hence, the return of the hideous graphic font to the right. The Berkeley blogosphere is suddenly abuzz with the sound of ASUC elections campaigning, and the Clog’s almost ready to join the fun and get on the elections train for the rest of the semester. How will we ever keep up with this, Code Pink and Fresh all at once? We need more manpower. Hint, hint.

The Elections Council ran the tabulation for the ASUC elections yesterday at 6:30 p.m. and released the preliminary results.
According to the initial tabulation, the winners are:
* President: Van Nguyen of CalSERVE
* Executive Vice President: Taylor Allbright of CalSERVE
* External Affairs Vice President: Danny Montes of CalSERVE
* Academic Affairs Vice President: Curtis Lee of Student Action
* Student Advocate: Ajay Krishnamurthy, independent
For the senate, Student Action won 10 seats, CalSERVE won six, SQUELCH! won one and Berkeley College Republicans won one. Two independents also won seats, with Nadir Shams receiving the most votes. Winne Kuo of APPLE Engineering and Danielle Duong of CalSERVE were also a part of the top three for senate.
Of the referenda and amendments, only the Green Initiative Fund and Line of Succession passed.
The results are not final, however. The Judicial Council will verify the tabulation and hear censure cases before finalizing the results.
The CalSERVE candidates and Krishnamurthy, unless tabulation went horribly wrong, have secured their spots. Curtis Lee, on the other hand, is currently facing eight potential censures. If he receives at least five, he will be disqualified. The candidate who earned the second-most votes would then take his place (if, of course, there’s no appeal).
Shams is also facing a massive amount of potential censures–up to 20. Again, if he receives at least five he too will be disqualified.
