WHO IS THIS OMAR CHABAAN?

We thought his name was OMAR SHABAN. He is back in the AMS President’s race. All power to him. It makes things more interesting, especially since there are, once again, 3 very different candidates running for President.  McElroy is the favourite but we have yet to see what Moll and Shaban can deliver.

A GOOGLE search of Omar Shaban does not give friendly results. Read THIS or THIS. What kind of Canadian says that? Shouldn’t he be happy he’s actually living in Canada instead of some wartorn country?

On the topic of the Presidential race, McElroy and Moll have very nice posters, but I’ve yet to see Shaban’s (I’ll give him a day or two to get reorganized since he was recently reinstated).

AND… on another note, the UBC Vanguard is hideous. Brian isn’t even funny. Ricardo, on the other hand, is.

FOXTROT FOX(ES): A FRESH, SEXY START TO 2011

FOXTROT UBC WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THE TWO BEAUTIFUL, SMART, AND ALL AROUND AWESOME FOXTROT FOXES TO START 2011: TAYLOR LOREN & VERONICA CHO.

TAYLOR LOREN

Taylor is the QUEEN BEE of blogging and social media. She runs the AMS Confidential with Kai Green, always makes witty remarks, is politically astute, and is HOT. (SHUT UP, BRIAN PLATT, you can’t use the word ‘HAWT’ like that. Your glasses aren’t hot). Taylor exemplifies FOXTROT VALUES: FREE MARKET, LIBERTY, COMPETENCE, AND BEAUTY. UNICORNS AND HOT LIBRARIAN GLASSES FTW.

QUEEN BEE OF VFM - YOU ARE ONE LUCKY MAN, NEAL YONSON

VERONICA CHO

One of Sauder’s up-and-coming first years, Veronica was a VCPE (a club whose execs we mainly find notorious for doing nothing) member and she did her job with intelligence and clear competence.  She is very bright and has a a very sweet CUTENESS factor about her. She is always an active CUS First Year rep who delivers great updates to everyone via Youtube. She can also sing. VERONICA CHO EXEMPLIFIES THE FOXTROT VALUES OF BEAUTY, ACCOUNTABILITY, CREATIVITY, AND LIBERTY. CONGRATULATIONS, VCHO.

Classy, gorgeous, and competent

INITIAL THOUGHTS 2011

CHARLEMAGNE here.  I’m a new writer here at Foxtrot and I find the tendency to capitalize every word counter-productive (to the chagrin of my fellow writers).

I have a few points on the races so far. We promise ENDORSEMENTS in a few weeks.

President – I personally know Michael Moll and he seems like a well-spoken guy but he will have to up the ante against Jeremy McElroy.  Omar Shaban, the underdog 3rd candidate and active member of the SJC, hates Canada.

VP Administration – Mike Silley has an interesting track record; we don’t know Kathy Yan Li; Gordon Katic has been endorsed by Tim Chu already.  So, you do the math.

VP External – Katie Tyson and Mitch Wright are the front-runners in this one. Looking at past AUS and AMS voting records, I see that Tyson’s voting patterns are more or less consistent with some anomalies.  Wright is the current AVPX and has done his job well. Rory Breasail, the 3rd candidate, is a Knollie.

VP Academic and University Affairs – Justin Yang vs. Matt Parsons.  1-2 members of this blog are part of the Fraternity System (cough BETA cough) so I don’t know as of yet where we’ll lean here, but this blog as a whole also has some sort of cyber crush on Justin Yang.  I don’t know who Jennifer Wang is.  The issues here will be experience, intelligence, and clarity – who will convey all of these traits?  Yang so far has the upper-hand but Parsons has the opportunity to showcase his.

VP Finance – From my knowledge, FOXTROT endorsed the Invisible Man over Elin Tayyar last year.  Will he be overshadowed by us once again this year?  Time will tell, but at the moment, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that his budget was damn good.  He cut a lot of useless things in spite of the immense pressure from several economically non-savvy AMS representatives.  His competitor is Arash Ehteshami, who, to some accounts from my friends in Arts, is the current AUS VP Internal and is heavily involved with MUG-related activities.  We’d like to see Arash’s financial savvy and credentials in the upcoming campaign.

BOG and Senate thoughts come soon.
