The original election will be scrapped and a new DASB presidential election will be held from March 13 to 17, after unanimous approval from the DASB Election Committee and the full DASB Senate.
Students will be be allowed to cast votes starting Monday 12:01 a.m. until Friday 4 p.m for just the four presidential candidates.
Senate elections committee chair Faris Waiteasa said College Life Office Coordinator Dennis Shannakian will be regularly checking with the head of web to ensure the integrity of the new election.
On March 3, students discovered that votes for two presidential candidates, Rhozhen Panahi and Cialysiah, “Cici,” Washington, were not counted because DASB’s online voting system was not prepared for candidates running without vice presidential candidates on their tickets.
“Lego Batman” is the movie we deserve, and the one we needed. After years of dark Batman movies, “Lego Batman” is a humorous and sometimes absurd treat for longtime fans and first-timers that will have you leaning forward in your seat, longing for the next scene.
It takes everything you could have ever wanted in a Batman film, and then adds on extras. Lesser known Batman villains? Check. Batgirl and Robin? Check. Dastardly plot that would end the world as we know it? Check. Oh and, constant jabs at Superman? Check. It’s all there.
The DASB Senate took a final vote on its 2017-2018 budget and endorsed a proposal to give students universal access to .edu email addresses March 1.
There was one dissenter in the final budget vote: vice president Stephanie Rigsby, who expressed her gratitude for the senators who worked on finalizing the budget, but said she did not agree with the decision to fund the Office of College Life’s staff.
The DASB Senate voted Feb. 22 to use $55,000 from its reserve fund to cover the the 2017-18 budget deficit.
The reserve fund has $400,000 left.
The budget allocates nearly $1.3 million for DASB programs and activities, and an additional $38,000 for advocacy activities through the Student Representation Fee.
Joe Thornton is one assist away from reaching 1,000 in his career. He's a team player - the recognition of scoring a goal doesn't matter to him, he just wants his teammates to score. And his teammates want him to achieve this milestone too, as shown by Sharks passing to Thornton and him passing back instead of them going directly for the easy empty netter.
Oh, and now that the trade deadline has passed with no movement on the goalie front, it's time for In Jones We Trust:
In other news, Colin Kaepernick announced that he's going to be a free agent and opted out of the final year of his contract. But in even bigger news, he said he will stop kneeling for the national anthem. I don't know if he is doing that to make himself more marketable, but I wish he would have stood (pun intended) with his beliefs.
