So, I was on facebook, looking at my friends and came across one that, well, I miss. They added me as a friend but never said anything to me, though to be fair I didn’t say anything either. Kinda sad. I miss them a lot. We had some good times together.
Anyways, it got me to thinking about my days at Willamette. One of the greatest things I was apart of there and was one of the best memories was the ASWU elections.
Let me preface this post a lil’ bit. After being on campus for a few weeks I found out about a peer to peer type webpage that connected all the computers on campus together. It was a big file share site and you could search it for files and then proceed to download them from the machine that had them. This site was called “Vote Kasha”.
I guess it was kind of a joke from the previous year, never quite got an answer to what it really meant. I think there was actually a person named Kasha that left/graduated that year.
Iirc it was a few months and the Vote Kasha forums were born. This was the place that we all could communicate with each other. Set up posts outlining who would download what season for this show via bittorrent or whatever. It also was a place where we got into off topic discussion. About campus life. Flaming people for what they had on their computer. Poeple having pr0n and such. Was fun, very fun.
Ok, on to the good stuff. There came a time when the good people of WU needed to elect a new student body… and guess what the people who ran the forums did.. yup, that’s right, campaigned for Kasha as prez. I still have the poster that was plastered everywhere.

Now who wouldn’t want to vote for Kasha? by the way, I don’t know whether the guy is Kasha or not but reading the poster it refers to Kasha a a girl.
I resided in Doney on the corner of the 2nd floor and we had 2 windows. I made some signs saying “Vote Kasha” to help with the camp[aignh as my room windows were pretty visible to most walking on campus.
Today, I decided to see if my WU email still worked cause I had an email of the ASWU results. Well one of the 2 emails. I have the one for outcome summery, not the actually tallys.
Excerpt from the email:
Thanks to everyone that voted for the ASWU Executive, we had 710 ballots
cast. Here are the results:
President:
Killpack 413
Write In 246
As you can see there was a major write in. I wish I had the other email as to who were the write ins, but I can tell you it was 21 votes for some other dude and 225 votes for… Kasha. I was floored. When I saw that email I literally fell to the floor laughing. it was awesome. I knew I had voted for Kasha as a joke, but 224 other people did too?
On a side note, I did a google search for “Vote Kasha” and found a blog. Not sure who this person was but I am going to try and find out.
I also decided to email the friend I missed. Hope they will understand.
