   So yesterday I'm standing outside the Ralph Nader speaking event talking to noted republican George Andrews when on the subject of politics someone I don't know says to me "you're an anarchist aren't you?" Then aggie reporter Stan Obklobzija asked me if I knew where rabid communist John Green1 was and if I had anything to do with the Nader event.

1If you could cross communism with rabies, John Green would have it.

   Former ASUCD President Sara Henry accused me of being a member of the green party in a newspaper interview, the ASUCD Ethnic & Cultural Affairs Commission once discussed whether or not I'm a republican. I dunno somehow it just seems to me to be very unclassy to clearly belong to a particular political stereotype. Anyway, time for a poll:

[Poll #365251]
[Poll #365252]


Entertainment Council
   Also we had an entertainment council meeting yesterday. I was actually given another title to add to my collection - I was declared to have the glorious title of "head grip."
   Also while brainstorming bands we want to bring to campus I plugged Momsex. The rest of you should help bring the ingenius creators of Zombies v Pirates to our campus by telling [livejournal.com profile] blushbystander how awesome they are over and over again.

   At a Press Conference Wednesday evening UC Davis Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef made reference to "the Emosnail journal," in response to questions about ways he keeps in touch with student life and ASUCD activities.

   Initially listed as one of several ways the Chancellor keeps up with student affairs, he elaborated that "there really was no accurate way to get a feel for the sum of activity within ASUCD until we discovered the Emosnail Journal. The staff at Emosnail really tell it like it is in a fair and impartial manner." He also commended the UC Davis livejournal community as a source of a wider range of more opinionated views. When asked if he was aware of the attempt to remove the ASUCD Chief Justice based on material in the Emosnail Journal, Vanderhoef explained "yes I'm aware of that, and I think it underscores the vital importance and relevance of the journal to ASUCD and the campus at large."

   There was no other discussion of the journal during the press conference, but afterwords an Emosnail field operative happened to overhear some further informal discussion.
   "I think it really brings the government closer to the students than it's ever been before. What'll happen now, for example, when Pavel Ivanov [quoted in the Senate and Aggie for calling the ASUCD President a "bitch"] runs into [ASUCD President] Sara Henry in the hall? Or what about "wdsguy" for that matter?" The Chancellor went on to discuss such tangent issues as Vice President Kalen Gallagher's hairstyles, his high opinion of the efforts of the ASUCD Environmental Planning Commission, speculation as to whether there'd be more closed sessions at the following Thursday (12/04/03)'s ASUCD Senate meeting, and his personal opinion of a number of the people and events portrayed in the Emosnail Journal.
