Despite the high attendance, however, the Ataris' visit was not successful on all fronts. "I'm happy because all in all it was a success," Jason Geisinger, assistant director of the Student Union Board, said. "But we were taken advantage of so badly. [The Ataris] took our contractual obligations to an extreme."

Unfortunately, due to the incestuous nature of AU, the two candidates had already met. But hey, they didn't know each other THAT well, and aren't blind dates always amusing ... to hear about at least?
