In other news...

I love Kevin, but I'd rather see news on top of this page then the 50 or so tearful reunions. I haven't seen this much sadness on the Internet since they banned child pornography websites.

In any event, yes, CalStuff will still be running sans its creator, Mr. Deenihan. There are four other correspondents (myself, Cooper, Alex, and Andy/Andrew), so there is still plenty of manpower to run this blog, arguably the best source for news at Berkeley. Let's keep it that way.

Today's news is that emails have begun to seep out of the Elections Council from a few different members, citing May 20 or 21 as the election result release day. This is somewhat astounding, since there are still a couple Judicial Council cases where rulings have not even been formally decided upon, let alone written up and released. Apparently, the Elections Council is not expecting many, if any, appeals on the JC rulings. Therefore, expect very few DQ convictions this elections season, though I doubt that will be a shock for most readers with some memory of ASUC history.

For those of you paying attention, the three cases remaining that have a low, but reasonable, chance of party disqualification are LaFata v. CalSERVE (SJP Rally), LaFata v. DAAP II (Intimidating/Badgering), and the Garcia v. Leybovich/Student Action (ASUC signature on mass email) cases, though none of these seem likely to be found in favor of the plaintiff.

At the same time, don't expect election results by May 21. Odds are that there will be at least one DQ, and holding hearings during the second week of finals would be sketchy at best. In addition, as much as I respect the ASUC Elections Council (cough), I really don't see them getting their act together quickly enough to get results out before summer instruction begins.
