Meet the Gabriels
I had two midterms yesterday and wore my SQUELCH! shirt, so it is time for some fun.
While the ASUC is supposed to be a democracy, things can change slowly over time. Take for example our current situation. A dynasty is forming before our eyes. Our story begins in 2002. Jesse Gabriel was elected President for the 2002-2003 year. He can be called the founder of the House of Gabriel.
Picture from Jesse the Founder’s facebook with brother Oren on the left.
After Jesse the Founder had ruled the reaches of Eshleman, he left for a land far away. Then his younger brother Oren gained popularity. He started as a senator for 2005-2006 and then wanted to be made ruler like his brother. While the people of the realm selected him, all was not right. There was prophecy of some kind, as clear as writing on the ground. It did not bode well for the heir apparent. The council of justice said he should not be made king. But after the magicians were called in the council’s objection was soon forgotten.
Oren the Heir
Now, as we approach 6 Y.G. (Year of the Gabirels) we have a choice. We can put the dynasty on a solid foundation, or we can chose change over the status quo. Currently Oren Gabriel sits on the throne. Next week we have the chance of voting for Ilana Nankin, the cousin of Oren and Jesse.
Yesterday on Sproul there was a suggestion from the elder members of the Gabriel clan, “The family reminds you.”
Ilana the Friendly
If you want to support your local monarchy, now is your chance.
“The family” reminds you? What is this, the Godfather?

Local monarchy? Ha,ha, ha, ha. More like the junta of a banana republic.

Remember when The Patriot was in the business of to help their precious Student Action.
And where does Andrew Quinio get the idea to others for Republican-baiting Dwight Asuncion? What a hypocrite!!!!
Speaking of keeping an open mind now? You SNAKE!

Remember when The Patriot was in the business of hit pieces to help their precious Student Action.
And where does Andrew Quinio get the idea to criticize others for Republican-baiting Dwight Asuncion? What a hypocrite!!!!

I looked up “tool” on Wikipedia, and it had Andrew Quino’s picture on it.

Ghost of Clark Kerr, the article you call a “hit piece” actually adds to the point I make in the article about Dwight. Justine Lazaro expressed several conservative viewpoints back then, but in order to gain office in Berkeley, she had to hide those views. She seemed to be fully aware of the political intolerance on this campus that is now being used to hurt Dwight’s campaign.
I write at the end: “Most likely, the left will go on assuming that everyone who disagrees with them is from the Klan. Consequently, Lazaro will presumably continue to keep her views hidden, thus strengthening the reality at Berkeley that students have to hide their own principles to gain access to opportunity.”

And how is Dwight different?
This time however you are concerned with the eroding support of a candidate you support. Back then you were the agent of the erosion. (With Matt Bunch’s help, of course)
