Jan 24	So You Want to be AMS President?: This post was written by Jeremy McElroy, current AMS DJ President and proud owner of a “Nobody reads the Ubyssey” T-Shirt. Before I get too far into my ramblings on what I believe the role of the AMS President to be, I should note that I am not making any endorsements, or disendosements for that ...
Jan 23	BoG Endorsements!: This post is written by guest writer Sean Heisler, who is currently serving his second term on the Board of Governors, and his third on Senate, and is currently the Senate Vice-Chair. [Note: in the full interview transcripts, the 7th question was blacked out due to some confidential information i...
Jan 23	Ballots of Notable People: Elin Tayyar: This post was written by Elin Tayyar, AMS VP Finance 2010-2012, suspender aficionado, and a big Anton Chekhov fan. The bitter impression left by Bijan in last year’s election makes executives endorsing anyone a bit hesitant. The controversy of those events will take a few years for hacks to forge...

AMS Confidential

Jan 27	The Dreamhorse: So, we’ve already drooled over and endorsed Tagg Jefferson, but in the bar the other day he showed us this photo that his “roommate” made to describe him. Since Issues That Matter deemed him a “Dark Horse” and we deemed him a “Dreamboat” this is the, uh…well, The Dreamhorse. This post was writte...
Jan 26	Meet your new boyfriend?: PRESIDENT. Are you on Team Edward or Team Jacob? we had to redo the 's' like five times before it was "Twilight enough" AJ should have been the candidate to beat in this election—just like Bella should have been the star of the show. But just as we all got sick of Bella’s hemming and hawing wit...
Jan 26	Slates! SLFS! Senate! So many ‘endorsements’: Two races that start with ‘S’, and no one gives a shit about either of them! SPAN is back, banking on the short institutional memory of the AMS to forget about all the wonderful things it accomplished years ago.. like firing the General Manager of the AMS and expecting no one to notice. We comme...

The Bald Truth

Jan 24	My Fundamental Difference and Why I’m Running for UBC Board of Governors: Earlier today Sean Heisler, one of the two current UBC Board of Governors student representatives (note: he is not running for re-election so his term expires at the end of March), wrote up a list of endorsements for the Board race on UBC Insiders. He reports that he based his endorsements entir...
Jan 23	Vote Erik MacKinnon – A True Friend to UBC’s Puppet Community: I have to admit that I was surprised to see a testimonial video arrive in my inbox on a Sunday evening, especially from one of the most prestigious professors in UBC’s puppet community. I’m flattered that puppet students, faculty and staff think so highly of my candidacy, and respect that I am ou...

夢と愛の千夜一夜

Feb 4	Final Exam Schedule Is Out!: Guess who has no finals this term? 8D
Feb 1	Make Love, Not Porn: I think this is an important issue, and I’m glad Cindy Gallop brought it up. (I have another taboo topic, brought up by a UBC staff member, that I’m hoping to also blog about soon…) Be sure to check out Make Love, Not Porn!

Students of UBC: I’m probably just as busy as you, and I’m voting in the AMS Elections. Also, shit-giving.: I managed to inform myself enough to vote, even though I was half-writing my paper while watching a candidate’s debate, was listening to an educational podcast while reading candidates’ bios, and was doing Biology readings in MASS when I was offered an autographed campaign material (lol wtf, seri...

Jan 18

What if everyone at UBC took part in an Anti-Oppression Workshop?: What if milk chocolate had the nutritional benefits of broccoli? What if Harry Potter died as a child instead, and Voldemort took over the world*? Posing such questions can be an amusing pastime, and as you may have guessed by now, purely imaginative. Indeed, I think compulsory attendance at an...
