Candidate Questionnaire – Joel Koczwarski
1) Why are you running for VP External? I’d really like to affect the way the AMS deals with students, with CASA and CFS, with the province and city as well. I have a strong grasp of the issues at hand and there are areas that can be improved upon and areas that just need [...]
Issue of the Day: Policy Motions
Genocide Awareness Project (GAP)and Pro-Choice students at UBC, March 2005. (photo by Gina) Consider the following: McGill University banned Blood Services from blood drives in their building because they ban men who’ve had sex with men from donating.

Issue of the Day: 24
Question: How awesome was the premiere of 24?Answer: There is no answer. Its awesomeness is beyond the scale of human comprehension. We’ll have a full post later tonight. But sometimes it’s important to take time out to recognize the truly important issues. Like 24. Bonus: Visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc6HbARJ_fQ to relive the explosive final scene.
Presidential Forum

As per usual, the spectators were outnumbered by candidates, “media”, and current execs on their lunch breaks. (Interestingly, only this media outlet and one other had any notable presence at the forum, and questions were [...]
Candidate Questionnaire – Tristan Markle
1) Why BoG? Why BOG? To stick it to the man. 2) What experiences do you bring?I am currently a SUS representative on the AMS student council, and am familiar with its archaic modes of conduct and pomposity, which is good preparation for the even more colonial Board of Governors. I will make noise on [...]
UBC Okanagan
Fun fact: The AMS isn’t UBC’s only student society. Similarly, not all UBC students go to school in Vancouver. Did you know that? You probably did, but it probably took some reminding, some prompting. UBC-O isn’t front of mind these days, but it probably should be. Why? The “degree equity” matters. A UBC degree is [...]
Candidate Questionnaire – Darren Peets
1) Why BoG? I never considered other positions. Board matches my interests, the pay’s not an issue, the problems I want to fix are generally higher than the AMS (most are UBC-level) and not normally academic, and I don’t have the time to take on an AMS (or GSS) exec position. The question is “why [...]
Candidate Questionnaire – Matthew Naylor
1) Why VPX? I chose to run for the position of VPX because it is the position where I feel I can make the greatest contribution to the society. As someone who has been involved with politics, both at a student and federal level, I feel that I have an adequate grasp of public policy, [...]
Issue of the Day: Campus Development
Welcome to the first of our Issue of the Day series, where we profile an important campus and student issue, and ask our readers, including candidates, to comment on it. (It’s important to note that the definition of allowable passive campaigning includes “letters to the editor and articles written by… candidates” and “responding to inquiries [...]
