All quiet on Eastern Av: USU campaign week one wrap
Tucked into the corner seats of cozy cafes, candidates have been hammering out backroom deals to secure victory.
May 17, 2021
It was a quiet week on Eastern Avenue, with the return of in-person campaigning failing to bring back the bustle of past Board elections. Attempts at activation, such as Isla Mowbray’s Dua Lipa flash mobs and Nick Comino’s perilous cheerleading routines, flopped. It was those two candidates who were most prominent on the campaign trail, with only occasional sightings of David Zhu, Telita Goile, Yiman Jiang, Du Du, and Pablo Avaria-Jimenez campaigners. Cole Scott-Curwood didn’t stray from his base at PNR, while Ruiqi Jia was unseen. On some days, evangelicals outnumbered campaigners a sad time for stupol.
