Hacking / ASUA elections updates
It looks like ERes was down for a while, but DocuFax and Audio reserves are still down.
Commenter "Topher George" astutely noted in a comment yesterday that it could be a hack attempt against the university’s terrorist intelligence tracking project. It’s certainly a possibility, but I don’t imagine they’d ever tell us.
ASUA is holding its candidate information session today in the SUMC Santa Rita room at 6:00 p.m. Expect my presence. We’re about to find out whether free speech survived the ASUA Senate.
Update: New elections code is online. From a very quick inspection, there’s only one part I don’t like.
7-2.03 Any and all websites, web pages, and/or profiles on online networking sites
including, but not limited to Facebook and MySpace, utilized for the purpose of
campaigning by a candidate and/or a member of their campaign staff shall be
approved by the Elections Commissioner. Any changes made to the
aforementioned after initial approval do not require subsequent approval;
however, the changes are subject to the rules and regulations of this Code.
The major free speech changes made look to include no longer requiring approval of physical campaign materials and no longer requiring approval for electronic updates. It looks like liberty has prevailed. Now we shall see whether we can change "tradition" and make these elections dignified.
Candidates, expect questions much like last year. Readers, direct questions to ask the candidates by emailing me. [gpohara at gmail dot com]
Update II: Benny Parsons has passed away. It’s been a sad winter for NASCAR. Rest in peace.
