… NOT! Student Action swept the executive offices. Whoop-dee-freakin’ doo. Because, you know, the differences between Student Action and CalSERVE are so marked and important. And like, Will Smelko, Tu Tran, John Tran and Dani Haber were all such substantial candidates with solid platforms. Good for you, guys. Seriously. May you be somewhat less incompetent than your predecessors.
Um, yeah. Now that that’s out of the way, here’s the full list of senators (in order of most votes): read more »
Now that ASUC Senator John Moghtader has been recalled, he’s ready to get even. He still retains his seat, and Judicial Council proceedings wait on his release of the Eshleman fight video. But pal Yoni Weinberg decided to share another kind of video with the Clog.
We’ll be prepared for anonymous comments from either party’s minions, illegal and rampant chalkings, and the incessant pesterings of ASUC hopefuls around Sather Gate.

Sunday Shout-Out picks out the week’s stories that simply slipped our minds.
*The Daily Cal has finally jumped on the Twitter bandwagon. Incidentally, it’s the same bandwagon on which the Clog has been chillin’ for, like, ages. No biggie. [Twitter]
*ASUC Lesson of the Week: You are, in fact, responsible for e-mails that you send. Whodathunkit? [Daily Cal]
*One more fairly infuriating/mildly hilarious thing about the ASUC. But that’s it, we swear. [Notes from the Field]
*Students cook up food co-op plan as an alternative to the Panda. Maybe they should have a wok-off. Or maybe we’ll just have to wait and see how things pan out. (Eh? Ehh?) [Daily Cal]

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 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 twoclips of separate news appearances on YouTube. But have you heard her slam poetry? read more »
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.

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 first sign of elections season is the explosion of Student Action flyers. The California Patriot Blog has an interesting review about the relevance of Student Action’s “DONE” claims. Essentially, the flyers should probably read: DONE (Three Years Ago).
The executive slate announcements for each party are trickling in! Today’s Daily Cal announces the CalSERVE executive slate. An anti-CalSERVE blog, CalSUCK, was created surprisingly quickly, demonstrating how many of us bloggers are willing to abandon real life to cover the campaign.
