Elections tonight!

Hey folks,

This year's executive board is headed into its last hours of power. Tonight we will elect the new executive board for next year. Positions that everyone can run for include:

• President
• Vice President (must be gender-balanced with President)
• Secretary
• Treasurer
• Affirmative Action/Outreach Chair
• MSA Representative

Anyone who has attended two or more meetings throughout the year is eligible to vote. Candidates who are running must get 60% of the vote before the election is official. Please show up on time so we can get this started promptly.

The date of the U-DFL end of the year BBQ has been changed from May 5th to May 6th. It is the Saturday before finals week, and hopefully everyone in the U-DFL can make it (this includes alumni!).

The play Cabaret is being put on by the University Theater department. It tackles Nazism in Berlin in the 1930s, but about 70 years after the musical takes place, a number of the issues still feel very timely. The production is impressive, and the Rarig Theater is a unique experience.

Russ Feingold has some clever mugs on sale now at his new Progressive Patriots Store web site.

And just for kicks, check out this prank that has been traveling around the internet. As a hoax, a man seemingly sneaks into Andrews Air Force Base and spray paints "Still Free" on Air Force One.
