Megan Amadon. a junior in apparel design, won Most Creative for her dress, which she created from footballs, astroturf, and spraypaint. She got the footballs from Coach Coury (an OSU alumnus) at Lake Oswego High School, where she graduated. She got the turf from Home Depot and spray painted it green. The whole process took about four weeks. I didn’t expect to Wl H .anything or Strive for an award either... it was absolutely amazing to have a piece of my work that I put so much effort into and was SUPER EXCITED about shown on the runway and close the show! - Megan

For obvious reasons, the presidential and vice presidential candidates must prove their worthiness before being voted into the positions. Ryan Ludlow, a sophomore in political science and economics, and Olivia Hollenhorst, a freshman in public health, were two of this year’s ASOSU presidential and vice presidential hopefuls who made it past the primaries. I got involved in ASOSU at the beginning of the year because I wanted to take a more active part plotting the course of my education,” Hollenhorst said. Ludlow and Hollenhorst ran on the campaign slogan “The Tuition is Too Damn High! Hellenhorst told the Barometer. “If elected, ...I would like to see a change in how the university functions so that more focus is put on long-term sustainable models of education rather than statistics and head counts.” Opposing candidates Milikaleakona ‘Tonga” Hopoi and Sokho “Sonny” Eath believe through their leadership, ASOSU can connect to students and cultural groups who are usually disconnected from ASOSU. “I think one of the largest reasons why we wanted to run is because of the potential that ASOSU has for all student groups, not just the student groups that are already actively involved, because ASOSU should be all students, not just those that have been involved in the year before, so we wanted to expand the mission to all of the student body,” Hopoi. a junior in philosophy, said. Hopoi was responsible for organizing December’s Rally for Peace in response to the attack on a Corvallis mosque, which she put together within a few days. Tonga and Sokho eventually went on to win the election in a landslide against their opponents. They were inaugurated on Wednesday, May 25th. 2011 and will serve as president and vice president during the 2011-12 academic year. I asosu elections | 25
