The VP Finance race seems to be a big YAWN so far. The only interesting thing at all is Mateusz himself, who actually works in the Pit Pub, so when he talks about the businesses doing poorly we know who to blame. Too bad there isn\u2019t some sort of commission system to motivate him to sell more pitchers.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Apparently “save the toy fish” is more motivating than the usual “I live off of this between shitty paycheques” tack. Which says something.<\/p><\/div>\n
Jokes aside, he can hopefully provide better insight as to why the businesses are doing poorly and what needs to change. Promoters for the Pit Pub? Discount rates on bulk beer? Pit night, two nights a week? We\u2019re giving you GOLD<\/strong>, someone take this and run with it!<\/p>\n Joaquin puts forward some good ideas as well, such as performing full business reviews and pushing for a review of the AMS\u2019s finances. The real question: does this review of finances include the fact that the AMS was just audited? Business and Administration Governance Board<\/a>, you’re on watch.<\/p>\n PRESIDENT<\/strong><\/p>\n The presidential race seems to be just as uninteresting, despite 2\/3 candidates being female. This never happens! We are excite!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Beyond that, all three candidates\u2019 platforms can be summed up in the same points: businesses are doing terribly and the AMS needs better communication with students.<\/p>\n Truly a heated debate.<\/p>\n VP ACADEMIC<\/strong><\/p>\n The two VP Academic candidates challenging Kiran are focusing on increasing housing affordability on campus. It\u2019s an admirable goal (that\u2019s more suited to the BoG reps). Still, we have to give them some credit for trying to win over rez kids; beating an incumbent who has an average or better reputation is a tall order. They appear to be taking slightly different approaches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
