realignment<\/a>, requires cross-country travel, missing classes and constant effort when in the suit.<\/p>\n\u201cThere was a point in which it was only white men that could be on the (Oski) Committee,\u201d said former Oski Committee member Kaylee Price. \u201cFor me, being able to show that anyone at Berkeley could be Oski was super important, and I think that better upholds this idea of Oski, as an entity, is representative of everyone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an exclusive poem written to The Daily Californian, Oski provided his thoughts on the situation. He claimed that before 2025, when the graduating class posed with him, it was up to \u201cindividual friends (to make) that choice of fate\u201d and shared the ultimate and final secret of Oski.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As it would be unjust to trim any of Oski\u2019s few words, below is the poem in full.<\/p>\n
\u201cGratitude expressed in you reaching out,<\/p>\n
Though I do not usually speak,\u00a0<\/p>\n
I feel the need to shout!<\/p>\n
My words have been sought without my consent,<\/p>\n
For those reasons, I feel I must repent.<\/p>\n
Reveals have happened for histories in age,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enjoy looking back as I tell you my page:<\/p>\n
Blue and gold books saw faces past,<\/p>\n
Today, friends’ faces on insta en masse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2025, I posted them all together first,<\/p>\n
With smiling faces and poses rehearsed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But before that, for years of late,<\/p>\n
Individual friends made that choice of fate.<\/p>\n
That this year saw so much uproar,\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the narratives written, oh my, were they poor!<\/p>\n
Unkind and unkempt, a push for \u201csomething viral\u201d,<\/p>\n
Instead all I read was hurtful, and vile.<\/p>\n
As for the search of my \u2018true\u2019 identity,<\/p>\n
Tis a secret, my friend, the world begs to see,<\/p>\n
For you dearest Miles, hear my prayer,<\/p>\n
Such as your kindness, now seems rare.<\/p>\n
Oski is you, Oski are we,<\/p>\n
85 years against the Stanford tree,<\/p>\n
All this hullabaloo, and the real secrecy?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oski is forever, California\u2019s one true entity.<\/p>\n
