I had many pranks pulled on me, especially my freshman year, because, frankly, I was kind of a dork. We weren't allowed to announce that vote total, but we at OBUD counted them privately. None of those votes were official, of course, but he still got more votes than anyone else running except for the winners that year. That didn't stop 543 people from writing him in. The problem was that the pooftahs at Ombudsman, who helped run the elections, wouldn't allow his name on the ballot. What started as a gag in the strip turned into a full-blow real-life campaign. All the people who remember Kersten running for 'king' reminded me of Mike Molinelli's 'Molarity' comic strip and the year he had Jim Mole's terrorist friend (Chuck Mason) run for student body president. Lots of high-fives all around about that one.Ĥ. The incident made the front page of The Observer the next day. The guy was chased off the court and nabbed by ND Security. He crashed in my friends' room Sunday night, then showed up at the Monday night Notre Dame basketball game wearing the Purdue Pete mascot. One of their friends, a Northwestern student, stole the 'Purdue Pete' mascot from a Purdue-Northwestern hoops game the Saturday before. These same characters knew people at other schools. I related this on the Hoops Memories board. The same guys grabbed a 'for sale' sign from somewhere off campus and put it in front of Cavanaugh Hall, on the side facing BP, right along the main sidewalk.ģ. The time when friends of mine who lived down the hall in Cavanaugh stole the street sign from the intersection of Juniper and Bulla roads and put it up at an intersection of two sidewalks in the middle of the North Quad.
