While ASUC elections season has been historically dominated by the two largest parties, CalSERVE and Student Action, this year’s candidate makeup has been slightly different.

While other presidential candidates campaign on Sproul Plaza by holding large signs with their names and faces on them, SQUELCH! presidential candidate Ghost has found it difficult to use traditional methods of campaigning because of one issue: transparency.

Chalk graffiti allegedly supporting the “straight liberation movement” and advocating a “straight-only safe space” appeared on parts of Telegraph Avenue and Sproul Plaza this week, according to UCPD Sgt. Nicole Miller.

Guillermo Perez, an ASUC senator-elect with SQUELCH!, submitted a letter of resignation to the ASUC Judicial Council on Tuesday, according to an ASUC release.

As other ASUC candidates plaster students with flyers and wave large signs, SQUELCH! presidential candidate Kira can be found barking at squirrels and stalking pigeons.

The SQUELCH! party announced its three nonsatirical senatorial candidates for the upcoming ASUC election Sunday. It is the first party to announce its slate this season.

With an air of majesty rivaling that of Elizabeth I, Jake “The First” Fineman and his procession of knights and squires gathered on Sproul Plaza to proclaim His Greatness as the divinely ordained monarch of campus.

The ASUC Elections Council discussed certification of remaining parties and candidates for the upcoming spring elections at their Monday meeting.
