CalStuff New Year’s Predictions
Here are the things that I think will happen in the next year.
Please chime in with your own predictions in the comment section.
1. A Berkeley protest will make make national news.
2. A CalSERVE or Student Action candidate for an executive office will be disqualified.
3. The SQUELCH! Party will do something even more offensive than the Ghandi posters last year. Most likely, this will be as inadvertent as the Ghandi thing was.
4. Cal football will finish in the top 8 in the country.
5. At least three of my predictions will be horrendously, embarassingly wrong.
6. Mano and Bhanu will find themselves in complete agreement over a controversial issue.
7. The Shannell Thomas incident will be mentioned somewhere besides CalStuff. (Daily Cal… ASUC… other?)
8. Something will go catastrophically wrong with the ASUC elections. (For the purposes of this prediction that will be defined as major cost over-runs, technical difficulty that leads to a delay in the vote, or massive levels of fraud.)
9. Berkeley has another good sex scandal. Some of the good recent ones were the Putnam Porn and the law school dean who allegedly slept with and/or sexually assaulted a student. Am I forgetting any other good ones?
10. I will graduate. [I figured I would make at least one a gimme so that I don’t go 0 for 10.]
People will continue to get robbed at Dwight and Hillegass as they are walking home at 4AM. Heck, people get robbed on campus at 2 in the afternoon. Try subscribing to the UCPD crime listserv. Don’t use a laptop carrying case to scream that you have a $1000+ computer to all the useless coked-out criminals who infest the city of Berkeley, and don’t walk home real late at night, especially between 11PM and 4AM.

ASUC politics need to go negative. They’re way too boring and a good smear campaign would liven things up considerably. I propose for Squelch’s newest posters “CALSERVE FEEDS BABIES TO NEGROES”

As a former CalServe candidate, I must say that the above comment was funny… Super Radicals would say racist, and fascist… I say pure funny.

3 is a given, 8 has already happened. Online elections look to put the ASUC over budget with a one-time $10k expenditure not budgeted for last year. I see you going a good 70% on this one, Andy.

I really doubt that comment #6 was made by Brandon Smith. The previous comment is racist, and the person impersonating Smith is stupid.
