This and that...

• Here's something you can't tell girls: 1) you just finished watching four Star Trek movies 2) You read comics 3) You read online comics 4) You think captain Kirk was the best starship captain in the galaxy 5) You can't go out tonight because you're watching the entire 5th season of Dr. Who.
  
• Staff v Student Debate being held on Tuesday in the Princeton room at 5:30pm. Yours truly will be representing the student team along with Jodie Oleary, Brendan Donaghue. We'll be battling Dean Duncan Bentley, David Field, and Jo Hintz. We are definitely the underdogs. How can we be expected to compete with that talent...but we'll give it a shot.
  
• Candidates debate is Monday 4pm in the Cerum theatre. With that said, here's the first www.gordprisco.blogspot.com election poll:

1) UPDATE for presidential race: Cantatore leads Burnell, but new numbers will be coming out after tomorrow's leaders debate.

2) The race for Treasurer is heating up with Vish having a huge week. He started from far behind with a lack of publicity, but has climbed up right near the lead. Julien du Vergier still leads at 39% of decided voters, while Vish is at 33% and Ash Armitage close behind at a respectable 28%. This race is far from over and just heating up.

3) The hottest race in the election is the race for Secretary. Mike Truce has been on a campaign blitz these last five days with the release of his campaign shirts and posters that have been a big hit. He has one of the strongest independent campaign teams this campus has seen. His competition, Sadia Stathis, on the other hand has also quietly been doing her thing and against all odds, is staying in the race. The numbers have Truce at a marginal lead at 54% while Stathis trails at 46%. However, statistically, this race is a tie and will most definitely be decided at tomorrow's candidates debate.

5) The race for campus life director has been the wildcard from the start of this campaign. Even though Laz Christou hasn't been seen on campus since 031, he still holds a commanding lead over his competitors Jack "Skuller" Blackburn and Cameron Dibble. However, polling numbers are not clear in this race. Christou is up to 44% and Dibble is at a shaky 30% while Skuller is at 26%, but the funny thing in this race is that if Christou manages to lose 5% and Dibble's support weakens at all, Skuller can sneak right up the middle. A good performance at the candidates debate may do this on Monday.

6) The battle for publications director has also been one that shows odd statistics. While Troy Smith shows a commanding lead at 64% over 36% for Joe Corrigan, the numbers show room to grow for corrosion. However, this prognosticator wonders if it's a little too late? Time will tell over the next few days.

7) Special interest race also has odd numbers. Cathy Rowe has a lead over Alex Stratigos with 50% of decided voters while stratagem is at 42%. Eidan Havas is at 1% with the remaining 7% undecided. Something this amateur pollster has never seen - someone at 1%. The big factor in this face is the support of Stratigos' powerful friends. If they pull out all the stops, Stratigos could find herself in the lead by mid-week.

8) The quiet campaign is Dylan Wiltermuth and Felix Offerman. The European contingent at Bond may be ready to go to the polls for Offerman, but it may not be enough to overtake the always steady Wiltermuth. Dylan's reputation as a "do-er" is probably enough to take him over the top. The only bad thing going for Dylan at this point is his picture in his campaign material - I'm not sure if he looks more like a deer caught in the headlights or the uni-bomber. Might be time to go back to the photographer.

9) Bronte has been acclaimed, but is still down in the polls. We're looking for a big week from him so he can rebound.
