Week One Elections Circus Wrap-up

Well, today marks the end of week one of the ASUO elections circus. And we do mean circus. For example, you might have noticed the True Blue slate’s concert and juggling extravaganza on Wednesday.

Not to be outdone, the Oregon Action Team slate somehow got the duck mascot to appear in an OAT shirt:

Of course, the athletic department is none too happy about this. (Nor are the other slates, I imagine.) You can see pictures from both these events on our Flickr feed. (Thanks to photographer Ross Coyle for the great work.)

Also, Michelle Haley, ASUO Exec candidate for the Oregon Action Team slate (and Commentator contributor) informed me that the the elections board has forbidden the OAT from distributing packs of ramen noodles emblazoned with the OAT logo, saying it’s bribery.

Which is funny because the posters that the OAT are allowed to give away cost more to print than a pack of ramen. Of course, there’s still a long ways to go before elections get as absurd as last year.

Grievance count remains at zero, but the duck mascot fiasco is sure to reel in one or two. I’m officially setting the over/under at seven. Whoever gets closest wins a Sudsy t-shirt.

  1. Oh of course. It’s another way just to make their slate more name-recognizable.

    I think that getting the duck to wear their campaign shirt is worth the potential grievance.

    Nursing.

    Where are the grievances that make election time so fun
