Pirate wins student election at N. Carolina St.

Associated Press April 15, 2005 PIRATE0416

RALEIGH, N.C. -— Aye, matey! The Pirate Captain is now the student government president at North Carolina State University.

Will Piavis ran under the name the Pirate Captain and won a runoff election, with nearly 59 percent of the vote. As the results were read, his supporters chanted his name and wore pirate hats from Long John Silver's restaurant.

Piavis said the pirate persona was a good way to get students interested in campus politics, and he plans to continue using it.

But the new president is now sounding more politico than pirate. Piavis is reaching out to students turned off by his unusual campaign, urging them to get involved in student government.

His supporters point to high voter turnout as evidence that he will be good for the school. Others were disturbed by what they saw as a lack of substance.

"He doesn't really have any issues,'' senior Alissa Tompkins said. "All his quotes in the paper were in pirate language that doesn't make any sense.''

[MajestikMøøse]

I wonder what Black Winter Day has to say about this... he goes there, doesn't he?

 

[Chromatose]

I've been waiting for him to reply and say he IS the pirate.

 

[lizard]

dude you have just committed the cardinal sin! BWD goes to UNC; they view NCSU as "Moo U".
conversely, NCSU views UNC as complete effete and impudent snobs.

meanwhile, those of us blessed as U. of New Hampshire graduates view them both as suthreners barely worthy of notice

I've been waiting for him to reply and say he IS the pirate.

Growling man with sword robs store; suspect arrested

NEW IBERIA -- Police arrested an Abbeville man Saturday who is suspected of having walked into a convenience store growling with a sword clenched between his teeth to rob the place of a can of tobacco and a bottle of whiskey.

Brandon Doucet, 28, 306 N. St. Charles St., Abbeville, was arrested by Broussard police and charged with armed robbery, hit and run, two counts of reckless operation, aggravated flight from an officer and no driver's license.

Iberia Parish Sheriff Sid Hebert said his deputies responded Saturday to a report that a man had come into the Food N Fun convenience store at Duperior Avenue and Maire Street about 7:50 p.m. with a white sword between his teeth, and growling at the clerk behind the counter.

That man, believed to be Doucet, walked behind the counter, grabbed a can of tobacco and a bottle of whiskey -- while continuing to growl -- and left without a word.

"He was like a pirate. If he had been wearing a patch and a hat on his head and a parrot, she (the clerk) would have thought he was a pirate," Hebert said.

"There was some extremely abnormal behavior."
