ASUO Elections: OAT Still on the Ballot?
Tomchak is getting all the news over at the ODE blogs, then again, Tuttle is force-feeding him information.
Anyway.
According to a post, the UO Administration told the IT guys not to remove Haley and Ted from the online ballot for the elections.
So, they’re still on the ballot?

In other news, Tuttle provided Tomchak with the “evidence” that supports Haley’s alleged involvement in the parties, stickers, and bribery alcohol. He also got the letter to Tuttle about the parties, from someone…
The Letter – (names removed because people feared for the writer’s safety…what is he going to get assassinated?)
More updates as they come.
You buyin’?
O wait, that’s a hell of a long drive for a nuclear lemonade… nevermind.
I’ll be at Rennie’s at 5 tomorrow. Feel free to stop by.
Correction: Room 319.
Which is one of the reasons I want to help out… that and the fact that I’m generally sitting on the middle of the political fence.
The booze is just a self defense mechanism, from too many people trying to get me on either side. Something like that. Not sure. I shot my psychiatrist.
Room 309, EMU. Go up the main staircase to the floor with the ballrooms, and continue going up the stairs. Once you find yourself at the front desk of the Daily Emerald, take two lefts and walk to the end of the hallway. It’ll be on the left hand side. Someone should be there to take your application.
May God rest your soul, cause you’ll be drinking a lot.
I’m relatively new to reading the OC, but having been a (shoddy, or as some might say “putrescent, and slightly decomposing”) high-school newspaper editor once in days long past, I’m willing to help you guys. Even if it means getting belligerently drunk off shots of SJ and chasing it down with a crisp, delicious (though somewhat stale) PBR.
@ Vincent.
Hmm…maybe if I was a good writer. Would be awesome, though.

We’ve scooped the Emerald pretty hard on a couple of stories this year – the campbell club raid, for example. It was actually pretty easy because they were locked into a 5-day-a-week publishing schedule. (I think the Campbell Club raid happened on a Friday or Saturday.)
Now that they’re actually using their blog, it’s a little harder.
Yeah, restart that Emerald “cold war” thing-that was getting fun. That was right before they faked out that marketing stunt aimed at getting some free press time. That was a pretty odd episode. Like I wrote before Ryan K. seemed to be the only one explaining what a crock the supposed “journalistic independence” whining was. If you want more staff have another cigarette smoking freedom event. Instead of Frohnmayers proposed discount on tuition for illegals craft a counter-proposal for a tuition discount for smokers. Then present the new UO president with a free carton of cigarettes, a copy of the latest Commentator and a sudsy T-shirt upon his arrival.
That takes a “news staff.” Wanna sign up?
CJ you do a great job.
I would like to see the Commentator compete with the ODE with breaking news, though. Is that possible?
DRINK.
1. The ODE has started to use their news blog to actually break news. I know – a radical concept. For some reason, I wasn’t on the election board’s email list or something, so the ODE reporter was getting all the documents first.
2. I’m not going to be the editor-in-chief next year, so it’s a little silly to call for me to be fired in the final month or so of my tenure. Go ahead and apply if you’re so distraught over the state of affairs, although I warn you: drooling on the application is an automatic fail.
I have noticed a similar trend going on here with the Oregon Commentator too. The leadership needs to be flushed.
Guys, guys, guys…damn, as the resident old guy who used to be editor and thinks he was great at it, it’s MY job to rip on the current management. Stop stealing my thunder, interlopers.
And if you’re going to steal my thunder, at least get better at it. Not even a successful troll.
Although I do have to agree that linking to ODE blogs for any reason other than mockery is a shame. SHAME ON YOU CJ! YOU’RE THE WORST EDITOR SINCE….SINCE….ME!
I agree with “Commentator Dying”:
“Above the Student Insurgent”.
I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
Attacking CJ doesn’t do anything, and it’s pretty darn low of someone to do so. He’s done a good job so far, and will continue to do said job. Yeah, he may know Lyzi, but doesn’t CJ also know Michelle Haley? Or Demic Tipitino? Or many of the other people that are running?
Frankly, those who are attacking CJ are doing nothing than just making themselves look stupid. And I would be thinking, in the style that CJ has, that he really just doesn’t give a fuck about the criticism.
** if you’re going to be so critical **
CJ and I have differing opinions on many policy issues but it’s pretty f’n sad to see people turning something like this into an attack on him. He’s a great writer and turns out several issues with a relatively small staff and budget. I’ve had the opportunity to meet with Lyzi a bit lately, and she’s also one of the most motivated people on campus – why don’t you get off your computer blogging ass and go do something with your life like they do.
Ever since CJ Ciaramella became Editor in Chief of the magazine the quality of writing and frequency of publication has severely diminished. The Oregon Commentator is not known for having A-Type leaders, per se, but this is a new level of sad.
It is no wonder the magazine is slowly dying. There are only three people on staff that really seem to keep the spirit of the OC alive: Vincent, Drew and Guy. How are you going to recruit new writers if the rarely published issues suck so badly?
I predict that the Commentator will struggle next year once Vincent and CJ graduate. Not because they are carrying the paper, which they are, I suppose. But, because they have failed to solicit and develop anyone ready for leadership next year.
I do not know anything personally about CJ and his girlfriend, but if she is the reason the OC has turned into a publication narrowly above the Student Insurgent, then I say you dump her ass. If she as the ability to ruin a a student publication, she’s probably not going to do much better for your future career, or your life. Bros before hoes, right?
CJ has damaged the Commentator. He’s falling victim to the author of the letter- Lyzi Diamond. He’s been corrupted by her lust for power.
COMMENTATOR- FIRE CJ
And how sad that the commentator gets its news from the ODE blogs… Shame on you, Commentator! Shame!
is THAT evidence? seriously people?
I suspect it is actually the undue influence of “The Order of the O”-yes it actually exists-at work here.
There is only one way to settle this…Pistol duel at dawn. Believe me, I would know.
not because you care about the state of ASUO politics or the UO student body as a whole, but because you want thee title of ASUO President.
Is Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth involved in this at all?
If so, everything would make a lot more sense. As it stands, this is all a bunch of childish drama and everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.
It’s Jessica Jones; they kept the name online for an hour or so.
If OAT lost, I think that candidate would be in jeopardy. Let’s be real guys.
Kate Jones, perhaps?
The URI slug of the letter is ‘primary-sourcing-jones-e-mail’ which would imply that either the first or last name is Jones.
