Lotta images in this album. If images show up as red x's for dial up people right click on em and hit "show picture" or just refresh the page. Anyhow, last Friday were Editor in Chief and the Opinion Editor elections at the Daily, so we Daily people spend hours there. How can it take so long? We're not sure

The candidates for EIC get up first and get asked all sorts of questions for hours on end

Everyone in the audience finds ways to entertain themselves. Me and another photog spent some of our time takin photos. Frodo here spent some of his time being in em. Guy on the left is the EIC who's term is up.

It can, however, get kinda boring

We all keep busy passing notes back and forth--talk about how bored we are, how uncomfortable the seating is, play games of hangman with people across the room

The photo couch got some that didn't make sense

At times it is fun

and other times not...

but I mean we do toss in our share of jokes and all that into the questions. Oh and there's an annual song and dance by one of the sports editors

It ended up lasting from 5pm Friday to 4:30am Saturday. Yeah.

On Sunday Michigan Field Hockey played a 2nd Round tournament game against MSU

Things were lookin pretty good at first. We got the first goal not long into the first half.

But MSU scored a goal. We answered back within a few minutes but then they scored two more and ended up winning 3-2. That's it for the field hockey team.

A portrait I took yesterday for a news story. I like this one better than the one they chose to run

Supreme Court Justice Scalia came to speak at Rackham

There was a whole lotta hassle for all us photographers (including one from the Ann Arbor News, The Detroit Free Press, The Detroit News, and the Associated Press). Scalia is very anti-photographers. We could only shoot the first five minutes of his speech--after that, no photography in the entire auditorium. Had to talk to four different people to get to my spot, none of which were all that sure what was going on. Got the shots I needed though.

People don't really like how Scalia votes.

Last thing of the day was covering New Life Church (incidentally the church I go to) at a planning commission meeting trying to get their building project approved. Sadly, after months of debate and letter writing and all that, they were voted down. Pictured above is a staff member from the church sitting in the audience raising her hand as she notices that only three of the required six were going to vote in favor of the project. Unfortunately, only planning commission board memebers get their votes counted.
