Daviswiki officially has the Aggie's pictures of the upcoming ASUCD presidential candidates up before the Aggie does, such sauce!

Today user "SenateScandal" started commenting again on the contentious "Budget Hearing Scandal" (which I believe had been deleted previously). This time the situation became even more apocalyptic than before, with user "DPSforLife" eventually posting serious incriminations against most of the members of Senate (note, anonymous names such as these are extremely rare). Just a FEW of these allegations (quoted verbatim) are (and keep in mind I make no claims whatsoever on the veracity of any of these):

Former Senator Sean Ruel is a former drug dealer, has used steroids, beat his former girlfriend, and snorted cocaine on regular occasions.

[other reports indicate he sold people patently bad drugs]
Adam Barr had an intimate relationship with former Aggie reporter Aimee Theron
Donald Cohen-Cutler had an intimate relationship with former Aggie Reporter Aimee Theron, hmm media bias maybe.
Paloma Perez is heavily involved in Swords and Sandals, and smoked marijuana during the student funded ASUCD retreat. She also has a clitoral peircing.
Former president Sarah Henry frequently used the executive office on the 3rd floor of the MU to have sexual intercourse with several ASUCD members including former senators. She is also a member of Swords and Sandals.

   The entry has since been deleted. If it has been resurrected, it would be here.

   This posting caused such a stir that not long after the editing began I received a frantic call from the senate office on campus from a Senator who wanted to know what I knew about the situation and the legality of it all. Apparently over on the third floor the entry had caused mass panic.
   Incidently at this moment Senate has just begun for the day. For once I have no business there and can actually make use of my Thursday evening. I'd like to see the current state of everyone though (keep in mind nearly all of them were named in a devastating way in the entry).

   A major continuing topic of discussion on that page is why the Aggie never picked up on the Budget Hearing Scandal (that certain Senators smoked the cannabis during budget hearings). One source associated with the aggie points out this timeline:
While Aimee
[Theron] was at The Aggie, she covered senate stuff, including the meetings
We did try to gather enough evidence to do a solid story on this, and Nafeh came in for a one-on-one with a manager
The story died
[see allegations 2 and 3, above]
Aimee no longer works at The Aggie

   Also this whole thing caused me to make a nerdy entry on the Wiki Ethics page (currently last entry - look for US v Spinelli in bold).

   Also Dyanna Quizon is back on the list of people allegedly involved in the Budget Hearing Scandal.

A Shocking Revelation
   Today I went up to the dreaded Third Floor of the Memorial Union, the imperial seat of the ASUCD government, and my world was turned upside down.

   It is generally known that during my first quarter at this esteemed institution, ASUCD Vice President Beaman authored a constitutional amendment which changed the ASUCD Supreme Court to the "ASUCD Student Court," and its Chief Justice to "Chairman."

   Today however, ASUCD Senator Adam Barr and I were looking at that legislation, and much to our complete shock, it does NOT make the changes it is believed to. It changes the Supreme Court to the "ASUCD Court," but doesn't even mention the Chief Justice.
   I checked all the constitutional amendments since that time and none of them made the change. The current editions of the ASUCD Constitution and Judicial Codes refer to my position as the Chairman, and the court as the "Student Court" however. Without changes via constitutional amendments the only explanation can be that the changes were NOT made through "legal" ASUCD process!
   Student Gov't Administrative Office (SGAO) head Kristin Heinen herself was extremely perplexed by this and was kind enough to volunteer to thoroughly investigate.

   I really am truly shocked by this. I've spent the last two years resenting that officially I was a chairman where I should be a chief justice, now it appears that there may be no basis for the chairman claim at all?

Does This Add Up?
   The background for 2001 ASUCD Constitutional Amendment #1 states that in the seven years the Court had existed at that point, there had been eight cases, five of which were in 1995. A year ago we were working on Case # 21, the first of six cases we heard last year. This means in a little over a year there'd have had to have been 12 cases in order for these numbers to add up.
   Seriously, wtf people?

Big Brother Comes to ASUCD
   While I was up there it came to my attention that ~~the president~~ a member of the inner circle of our local chapter of Students for an Orwellian Society is going to be running for senate this quarter. We had a brief discussion of how Big Brother's benevolent philosophies relate to ASUCD election codes.
   A nearby aspiring ward heeler*, the infamous Ken Bloom who was worshipping him at the time, asked me what I knew about the current IRS investigation against ASUCD. I denied any knowledge of the existance of such an investigation or any such "IRS."

   Incidently yesterday in an interview with our staff here at E.M.O.S.N.A.I.L., initiator of the investigation Mr. Birman said he was "totally in favo[u]r" of blogging, and in reference to pot pies said "I rank them higher than haggis and steak and kidney pies."

Yesterday (Thursday) III
   Yesterday I had the misfortune of having to sit through four hours of the ASUCD Senate meeting. This was because I had to make the Quarterly Court Report, and the presiding parliamentarian, Vice President Paloma Perez and her boyfriend the Senate President Pro Tempore Chris Goran loathe me and manipulated the agenda so what ordinarily would be one of the first items on the agenda, "reports," didn't occur until four hours into the meeting.
   Perez also showed us her parliamentary skillz by speaking on substansive matters during a time when only senators, ie not her could speak, and after Senator Adam Barr called her on it, claiming she did somehow have that right.

   One major topic covered during the time I was there was whether or not ASUCD "promotes sex." Its true.
   A resolution under consideration contained the line "...while ASUCD does not promote sex..." (qualifying an endorsement of sex education for incoming freshmen) to which Senator Barr responded "I dunno about the rest of you, but I promote sex." Another senator pointed out that in order to claim that ASUCD officially doesn't support sex they'd have to have a resolution on the subject and vote on it. Eventually they concluded that ASUCD supports up to third base.
   No not really about the third base thing.

   Another major topic covered was whether or not a resolution supporting state legislation to prevent professors from indoctrinating students by requiring them to present both sides of ideological questions was inherently demeaning to students by the implication that students opinions are so easily swayed.

   Today Kristy and I saw a peacock on campus. For really.
