The Pride Collective is hosting a Zine and Art Fair in the Nest on Wednesday, where students can purchase zines, arts and crafts made by people in UBC’s LGBTQ+ community. It will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
On Monday afternoon Julien Hart campaigned for the VP Administration position by teaching students how to ride a Unicycle. He set up outside the UBC Bookstore, along the edge of the fountain, played some music and gave out some Yerba Mates.
As I’m sure most of you have seen by this point, William Chen — who is running for Senate in the AMS Elections — has enticed his audience with works of satire in order to get his main goals for his campaign across in comedic form.
Consider, if you will, why Alan sounds so reasonable. Consider why, when he opens his human speaking apparatus, his words don't sound like the usual inaudible chants and yells of typical engineering students.

More recently, Chen published another quick-witted satire piece on his Reddit page. This time, a couple telling voters that textbooks were so expensive to buy for their daughter, a “new student” at UBC, that she was forced to live in a cardboard box.
The irony of “guhsaltor ’s” coincidental Twitter handle is pretty funny at first, but it turns odd once you translate their tweets, as they all appear to be awkwardly written news headlines that are posted without context or sources.
Among the millions of apps streaming through the App Store, there are a few great ones. From helping you grocery shop, to making reservations and finding new recipes, the list below is a collection of some of my favourite food apps.
Cleaning is hard. Unfortunately, it’s also necessary to keep your place looking and smelling nice. Wandering the cleaning aisle at the grocery store presents you with a dizzying array of options that are both confusing and expensive.
When Sugar Brewer first walked into my eyes and heart, I imagined a caravan of reveling bards following after him. Three buttons undone, cascading hair and a voice like hot buttered yams remind me of the free-loving UBC I once knew.
Last night, Kinost revealed that his name is William Chen and that he is running for Senate. He released his campaign video, “Pirate Textbook Salesman — Vote William Chen for Senate” at the same time.
