Through the Intestines of the AMS Judicial System

Stu­dent Court met today to delib­er­ate on the case Tra­solini v. AMS Elec­tions Com­mit­tee, AUS Elec­tions Com­mit­tee. They decided to refrain from passing judge­ment on the case today, and have now four­teen days to make a rul­ing. In the event that they do not make a rul­ing before the Tues­day turnover date of the AUS, […]

Michael Haack’s “SUB-Green Drink”

The Tribune Tribunal finds this drink enti­cing in col­our and bewitch­ing in taste. The lychee liqueur is some­what over­power­ing, but deli­cious – the entire drink tastes lycheerific. While we eschewed the organic aspects of the bever­age for pre­par­a­tion, we found the taste was not dimin­ished. We give this delight­ful bever­age a four and six twenty-fifths […]

Ekaterina Dovjenko’s “SUB Club Cocktail Punch”

The Tribune Tribunal finds this delight­ful. It’s like an alco­holic Shir­ley Temple. After a year doing SUB nego­ti­ations, our dear Eka­ter­ina might resemble an alco­holic Shir­ley Temple as well – but she could always become the Ambas­sador to Czechoslov­akia. We give this a three and seven ninths stars out of five.

I do not actually […]

Timkachu is not doing his job

Or, at least a very import­ant part of it. While his part­ner in vil­lainy is work­ing hard to piss off the under­grad soci­et­ies, Timkachu has turned his sights on (or, I sup­pose in this case, away from) the Grads.
It is the job of the VP External to main­tain rela­tion­ships with other stu­dent organ­iz­a­tions, and specific […]

don’t get so comfy…

Some Verse on the Topic of my Pro­spect­ive Resig­na­tion
On Monday night, mor­ose, I cried,
For a Soci­ety robbed of its pride,
No legal pro­cess was to bring,
Relief from our self claimed king
I thought we had no right to claim
A man­date after this con game
So as I drowned my tears in wine
I thought to myself “I must resign”
But […]

advice for our next VP External

Some advice to the next VP External Affairs. As a stu­dent soci­ety, we are pretty unique in that we elect the expert, rather than hire them, but they still have to do all of the things that are in this video. Notice­ably absent from the video? Fil­ing com­plaints to the United Nations. Actu­ally, any­thing to […]

the *US speak

The under­gradu­ate soci­ety coun­cils of Arts, Sci­ence and Engin­eer­ing all passed res­ol­u­tions sup­port­ing the actions of coun­cil. I assume, for Com­merce, that it’s just kind of a given. Here they are:
Arts Under­gradu­ate Soci­ety
WHEREAS Alma Mater Soci­ety (AMS) Pres­id­ent Blake Fre­d­er­ick and Vice Pres­id­ent External Timothy Chu recently filed a com­plaint with the United Nations […]

The Alma Mater Soci­ety of UBC Van­couver (AMS), UBC’s stu­dent union, would like to inform the pub­lic that AMS Coun­cil unan­im­ously passed […]

let’s impeach the president!

Let’s Impeach The Pres­id­ent”
Let’s impeach the Pres­id­ent for lying
And cry­ing to the UN with his friends
Abus­ing all the power that we gave him
And using the AMS for his own ends
Who thought we should work with Tristan Markle?
Those Alpaca shirts leave a lot to be desired
Cronyism so blatant it’s dis­gust­ing
Fre­d­er­ick and Chu, they must be fired
Let’s […]

lay off the staff!

A dis­turb­ing trend I have seen recently in emails and com­ments is the insinu­ation that staff are some­how respons­ible for the cur­rent debacle. They are not, and I whole­heartedly con­demn any attack on any AMS Staff per­son whose name has been unfairly impugned in this pro­cess. They are respons­ible to the elec­ted exec­ut­ive and Council, […]
