You will probably read about this in the national media in the coming weeks, so we wanted to mention it on the blog. The Pirate Captain won the election for Student Body
President. The Pirate Captain dresses in pirate regalia, including an eye patch, and gives interviews to the student press in a pirate dialect (or what he imagines to be one). As you can expect there is a certain segment of the University that is bent out of shape. You can read the N&O’s article (and view the Pirate’s photo) here.
