Cat's out of the bag vis a vis Daniel Frankenstein's run for the Presidency. Probably the worst-kept secret in the ASUC, everyone's known that he's running for months. People with no connection to the ASUC know he's running. But for some reason, Mr. Frankenstein continues to deny his candidacy.

Frankenstein said he has yet to decide whether he will seek the presidency.

He said the Sunday party has nothing to do with elections.

"I'm having some friends over," Frankenstein said. "But (it's) nothing political."

I can only assume that Student Action is still insisting on official secrecy.

The article goes on to speculate about Mr. Primm's intentions, which I've been trying to discover for over a month. The best I've been able to do is find that it's unlikely that he's running with CalSERVE. Otherwise, it's widely assumed that Senator Patel will be running for External. Senator Ro is almost definitely running for something, either EVP or Academic. I've also heard that Senator Lee is running for Academic, all of these with Student Action. But I'm not sure on almost all of those. (I'm much more out of the ASUC loop these days).

The other question besides Primm's intentions is what CalSERVE is up to this semester. My dream race would be Senator Hammon from CalSERVE vs. Senator Primm vs. Mr. Frankenstein, if only because the 'Everyone's a Frat Boy' part would be fun. (Hammond is in Pi Kapp, Primm in Chi Phi, Frankenstein in ZBT.)

The Squelch! Party, returned to original ownership after some unpleasantness, will be seriously gunning for Senate seats this semester, unlike the previous two.
