UConn students qualify for ballot
By Jay Polansky
Associate News Editor
Two UConn students running
for the 54th District state repre-
sentative seat will appear on the
ballot Nov. 2.
Jason Ortiz, an 8th-semes-
ter public and community

Buckman, a 5th-semester polit-
ical science major, garnered

of the votes cast for people who
ran for the same seat in the last
election, according to Av Harris,
spokesperson for the secretary of
the state’s office.
Buckman said he thought he
would get the required signa-
tures, but was encouraged to
learn that he will now be on
the ballot.
“I’m excited it’s official now,”
said Buckman. “And I’m excited
we can continue working with
people in this district and talking
about the solutions to the prob-
lems we all face.”
Had Ortiz or Buckman not
acquired the necessary signa-
tures, each could have chosen
to run as a write-in candidate.

Brien Buckman, above, and Jason Ortiz,
below, will be on the ballot Nov. 2.
But a write-in candidate’s name
would not appear on the ballot
or anywhere at the polling place,
according to Mary Stanton,
Mansfield town clerk.
“The chances of you being
able to win as a write-in are very
small,” Ortiz said. Interested
write-in candidates have until 4
p.m. on Oct. 19 to register with
the state, according to Harris.
The Mansfield Town Clerk’s
office, which is responsible for
verifying applications of peti-
tioning candidates, has not
seen any other applications for
state representative for the 54th
District. The district includes the
towns of Mansfield and Chaplin.
Mansfield Deputy Mayor Gregg
Haddad (D) and Mansfield town
council member Christopher
Paulhus (R) are also listed as
non write-in candidates.
With the November election
around the corner, Ortiz and
Buckman are taking their respec-
tive campaigns in stride.
“Things have gotten off to a
really good start,” Ortiz said.
“I’m sort of cautiously optimis-
tic. No matter what happens, it
will probably end up positive
one way or another.”
“It’s campaign season,”
Buckman said. “It’s picking up
– not just for me but for all the
candidates.”

Migrants say border worth crossing
In this Thursday, July 29, 2010 file photo, 32-year-old deportee Jorando Gonzalez, left, lies in bed at the San Juan Bosco migrant shelter in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. At 59 deaths, July
2010 was the second-deadliest month for border-crossers in Arizona - second only to July 2005, when 68 bodies were found.
NOGALES, Mexico (AP) —
Hector Ortega stumbled across
the body of a fellow migrant
as he walked across Arizona’s
harsh desert in the searing sum-
mer heat. He tried not to look
too closely.
With nothing to be done for
the deceased, Ortega and the
others trudged on, guided by a
smuggler across the U.S. bor-
der, determined to complete
their illegal odyssey even as
they endured record-high tem-
peratures and fever-pitch resent-
ment.
At 64, the farm laborer with
a weathered face, strong hands
and silver hair protruding from
his baseball cap was stoic about
the body – someone’s journey

his friends to the group’s fundrais-

“Not only did he have a sig-
nificant impact on his own lit-
tle brother he made an impact
on countless other children,”
Charanian said. “This is truly a
devastating loss to the world. His
potential was limitless.”
Ben was planning on becoming
a high school social studies teach-
er and was thinking about coach-
ing hockey someday, according to
his mother Marianne.
“UConn is a
very special part
in our heart.
Ben loved it so
much.”

Bleszinski
On calls home, he would often
share comments from The Daily
Campus’s InstantDaily with his
mom and dad.
“It became a family thing,” she
said. “We laughed so hard at the
InstantDailies.”
Aside from his volunteer work,
Ben was heavily involved with
the SUBOG Concert Committee.
He set up for the Third Eye Blind
and Kid Cudi concerts, accord-
ing to Marianne.
“UConn is a very special part in
our heart,” she said. “Ben loved it
