Press Release

Captain Redbeard Schurr and First Mate Carlson greatly appreciate the support of the K-State student body. We feel honored that voters have placed their trust in the pirates. We see that K-state is rallying behind issues like the ninja crisis, fiscal responsibility, fun in politics and the Touchdown Cannon. The pirates have excelled in addressing all of these areas because our cause, the cause of K-State is just. Ninjas are still a threat at K-State from their dark hiding places and still the pirates are the only ones prepared for the challenge of seeking them out and disposing of them. No other campaign could have done the tremendous work and gathered such great support as we have done on our budget that is clear of all donations and plundering, so far. We have endeavored to put fun and humor in K-state politics bridging gaps with good laughter and giving many a reason to vote at all. Indeed, with this victory we are one step closer to reinstating the cannon at football games. Even in the pirate celebrations of the primary election victory, we have sacrificed by remaining dedicated to the cause and are still sober. We again acknowledge the power of the student votes to get us here, to keep the pirate cause alive, to seek the best for K-State and we are sincerely thankful. Think Cannon!
