The True Blue Student Coalition, with an assist from Eugene hip-hop group the Four Trees, rocked the EMU Amphitheater on Wednesday in order to get the word out about the upcoming ASUO elections. Students who stopped by to chalk their most important issues for the upcoming election on the ground of the amphitheater highlighted the concert, ensuring that the issues would take center stage for the upcoming primaries.
Midway through the event, the entire True Blue team was introduced to the student body, giving each candidate an opportunity to speak directly to the crowd. Executive candidate Nick Schultz outlined the True Blue platform to the audience and invited students to discuss their biggest concerns with candidates mingling throughout the Amphitheater. The weather threatened at times, but held out long enough to allow for a tremendously successful event, complete with jugglers, instrumental hip-hop, and even a visit or two from competing campaigns.
When the event was finished, the entire floor of the EMU Amphitheater was covered with messages from students about what they’d like to see from their student government. Responses ranged from “Free NY Times!” to “Results, not politics!”. Though we were committed to providing a fun, exciting atmosphere for students, True Blue was proud to see so many students taking a few moments to speak out about the things they enjoy and wish to see from the ASUO.
