EAGLE'S NEST - Friday - In a stunning upset to the campaigns of Mike Joyce and Justin Portes and Mike Kitlas and Jill Long, The Gavel featured videos of only former editor Nick Domino and his running-mate Katrina Lutfy.
"This is really a psychological blow to the rest of us," said also-running David Lalonde. "The Gavel, or Gavel Media, I should say, is one of the most visited student web sites and respected forums for democratic dissent. Domino-Lutfy's prominent flash-mob feature will sway the hearts and minds of thousands of undergrads."
Domino, who served as an editor for a year at the "progressive news source of Boston College," lists one of his major campus accomplishments as completing the newspaper's resource guide.
Tue Tran, former Gavel editor-in-chief, explains Domino's commitment.
"Nick was assigned portions of the writing guide and turned them in on time at the requested length," he said. "Only minor editing was necessary."
The Register was unable to obtain a copy of the Resource Guide, which likely has not yet been printed.
The videos featured a "flash mob" of people who had just happened to be wearing Think Big t-shirts, incidentally were sitting around Eagle's Nest in McElroy at the same time, and stumbled into an accidentally choreographed musical number that surprisingly did not feature Piano Guy Denny Carr A&S '11.
Some voters supported the flash dance party.
"Although at first I thought window advertising was really really important, I've switched my support in light of the hard-hitting, issue-oriented stunt," said Christine LeMieux, CSOM '14.
Others were not so enthused.
"While I appreciated the steering wheel like motions from Domino and company, I thought six or seven girls in the back were clearly out of tempo," said DeShawn Robinson, A&S '12, a member of Sexual Chocolate.
